Only two more days until I move into college. I'm excited and nervous for what's ahead.

The actual school part doesn't start until next Monday though.

Where are you off to school rteetz? I miss my college days even when they weren't that great.

You'll do great, @rteetz , and I'm sure you'll meet lots of great peeps, who will be blessed to have you as a friend, as I feel about you here!

My advice having gone to a similar college my freshman year: remember rules are to be broken to a point haha. Make sure you are having fun but study hard. I broke curfew several times at the private baptist college I was at because to me the experience of being out with good friends at the local IHOP studying and just bonding and making memories was worth more than the $20 fine or extra chapel class I had to go to to "atone" for breaking the rules haha. I'm not sure if your school is as strict but don't forget part of the college experience is learning who you are as a person and having a tiny bit of fun.

Thanks for the advice. I am not sure about those types of rules yet but I am sure I will find out quickly. Being in a larger city the campus has several restaurants and such on campus.

My office allows shorts, and I'm glad, because the world DESERVES to see these gams.

My college was so strict that i was in your dorm at curfew not just on campus. It was one reason I ended up leaving. I knew there was a curfew but didn't realize that I would have to sign myself out with my RA if I wanted to go do a late night study session at the library.

I've been surfing the boards for the last 1/2 hour (shhhhh...I'm at work, so let's not tell the boss)

Best of luck to you Ryan. College is such a great time. Suck it all in and make the most of it. These will be some of the best years of your life. Take full advantage of all the opportunities college offers you.

 

[KingLlama]

Best of luck, @rteetz. College is great.

Heck, college is where I got my nickname.

Long story.

What happened? I love it there.

Long story.

We've got plenty of time.

I guarantee that whatever scenarios you all could conjure up in your heads would be 100x more entertaining/interesting than the actual story, so I'll just let you do that instead.

I really love the new menu. The new fixins' bar is great. What happened? Bad food or bad service or both?

It is kind of funny how different offices have different rules. I just wish if rules are written out they are stuck to with out releasing a new company handbook. I would totally understand if when the new handbook comes out it said something about no shorts but as of now the official dress code policy says dressed in a professional manner when dealing with clients but please note the following things are never allowed and only list 3 things that aren't allowed (flip flops, offensive saying or imagine on t-shirts, athletic gear/yoga pants/sweatpants). Some how in the mix now athletic gear is A-OK but shorts which were not on the list are bad.

I guess I would have just liked a email or update memo that said as of X date our dress code policy is changing to the following please begin adhering to these rules on X date. Would have saved me the embarrassment of showing up in shorts on the day my manager told me. Of course nobody else has even heard of the change because 2 of our managers are out for holiday for a week.

Definitely hear you about wanting consistency

Side note - yoga pants should never not be allowed

Only advice I have is be willing to stretch yourself and if there is something you find interesting but is out of your comfort zone - go for it! Now is the time!
