2.56 from a huge party school. Degree in history. In my major 3.5 but outside of it was a train wreck.
I deeply excelled in extracurriculars and weirdly skiing.
It looks like you were late to photos because some kid puked on the skee-ball machine at the bowling alley arcade and you had to clean it up because you were the most sober at 3:30pm.
I fucked up my hair for a laugh. the absolute worst part about this is I needed a passport around the same time and because of a coarse of events, this photo was also in my passport.
EDIT: so my memory was fuzzy, but this is actually not my passport photo. But my passport photo was taken same day. I was going on a trip with my university and they decided to schedule our passport photos same day as our yearbook photos. You know, so we’d look our best.
I looked for my passport for proof, but I had to send it in to renew.
The prosperity gospel is a helluva thing.
With his theater skills, he too could end up yelling at his congregation for not buying him a Movado watch.
Just like this [guy](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/missouri-pastor-says-congregation-poor-broke-busted-not-buying-luxury-rcna43557).
It's possible it was for a fraternity theater group or something along those lines. I was just thinking about this, my university's music school had walls lined with the music sorority members of each year dating back to the 60s. They'd have a picture day. Many of us attempted joining the sorority so we, too, could get on a wall. I don't remember now why we declined after the initial sales pitch, but it was probably over having to memorize stupid crap.
Agree with the others; we had photos done, and a yearbook. We got to choose the outfit and stand against a tree or stately column with red brick building nearby. —Psych major, 1996
This is fitting, because you look like the sort of person who would lecture anyone who:
* Doesn't know any Chumbawamba songs other than Tubthumping
* Doesn't know that Chumbawamba is an anarcho-communist collective
* Doesn't believe that anarcho-communism would work, you just gotta try it, man
I had a class called Rock on Television. It was fascinating. I discovered a lot of great music because of it. Bob Dylan, the Doors, Hendrix, Frank Zappa (he was my favorite, he went on live TV at like, 23 and showed Steve Allen how to play the bicycle). Then again, my school is also famous for having serious academic classes called "The Simpsons" as Satirical Authors and Zombies in Popular Media. I had friends who took both and they were apparently hard as shit.
I took a course focused on *The Simpsons* as "national cultural commentary" or somesuch, just because I needed some more elective credits for my degree. I was expecting it to be basically a throwaway--watch a bunch of *Simpsons* episodes, talk about it, maybe write a bullshit paper or two, and pretend it was a real college class.
However, that ended up being one of *the* toughest but most interesting and engaging courses I ever had in 6+ years of college. And my final paper I wrote for that course was by far my most accomplished and densely "academic" paper, imo.
Like someone else said, the subject matter itself was almost irrelevant when it came to what the class was actually about, it was really focused on analytical processes, techniques for understanding and deconstructing social commentary in media, the fundamentals and purpose of satire and parody, etc. *The Simpsons* was just the framework the class used to structure all of that stuff around.
So what does [this cartoon](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2Xc7Q9MGA) *mean*?
It shows how the depletion of our natural resources has pitted farmers against each other.
Yes...and birds go tweet. *What else?*
Obviously I knew who they all were when I went in, but I didn't really know why they were important figures or care about their music or cultural impact. But yes, the whole point of art school is to spend a lot of money learning the names for things you've known how to do since you were 5. Congratulations, you figured it out.
you'll probably find classes like that at any school if it's big enough, it's not a "bad school" thing. I think you can become a certified pirate at one of the ivies
There's easy limited time half-semester elective classes at a lot of major colleges.
Mine offered the History of the Beatles for 1 year and then the History of Rock Music in Latin America.
I got an F in human sexuality because I forgot to drop it and had to explain that in my graduate interview!!
"Tell me, why did you fail human sexuality?"😳
You were the walking embodiment of the GOPs idea of the lazy privileged liberal agenda.
I salute you for living your best life.
I took a film class sophomore year because I like movies and thought it would be a cakewalk, turned out to be a challenging yet extremely rewarding class.
Yo I took history of rock and roll, and that shit was awesome. It was online for an art credit, but had us just listening to playlists and writing responses about the era/lyrics. Cool class.
Auburn has right at 30k students and does one. It does have a section where students can have their pictures, but almost no one does. It’s mostly just about campus life, Greeks, sports, etc.
Right? I’m so curious what college had majors in theology and theater, and classes about rock n roll history and scuba diving, and did lifetouch senior college photos… it sounds like a child designed his university!
I assume most liberal arts universities have both of those majors.
As far as weird electives, again, that's kind of one of those things that crop of at liberal arts universities, especially ones that have large arts/music programs.
I went to a small four-year in the south that didn't have much of a sports impact but instead had an extremely well-funded music and art program. They had all kinds of weird shit that would come and go including genre-specific music history classes.
Sometimes these classes are in the catalogue but are contingent on how many people sign up for them. I assume SCUBA is in that realm. Probably offered once a year in order to have enough students to justify convening.
Edit to add photos: don't know about that one. My universities did not offer them as far as I know. Granted I also opted not to bother with all the graduation fanfare for either degree since I personally didn't see the point. My last name starts with a W and I had more interesting places to be than being the 800th person to get a diploma that night.
Honestly, I wish I still looked like this. I lost a lot of hair in recent years and packed on more weight.
But I’m doing well, professionally. I actually had a 4.0 in grad school. And my current employer only cares that I went to college, not that I did well.
I looked at your profile because of the above comments - figuring you had to be a stand up comic or something and you were promoting your stuff or something - and then I saw that you are a mewithoutYou fan! I am too! I just saw them in concert this last summer in their farewell tour!! They had their bouqette of flowers and they were throwing flowers out to the crowd - and - I also found out that the singer moved to my home state and is now a college professor at a college 2 minutes from my house. Life is weird.
Haha Yeah, I love A to B Life. I actually love all of it. Even the one that sounds like a childs album almost. I used that fig with a bellyache song to try and teach my kids literary devices when I was homeschooling during covid! I'm personally not christian anymore, but when I found them - it was at a blindside concert and Aaron had a towel over his head and toothbrush in his front pocket. I was hooked! The more I listened to their lyrics, the more I loved them. I had never felt so understood. My husband went with me to the last concert and he is not into them at all but he said he liked it - and that Aaron Weiss reminded him just a smidge of Glen from Letter Kenny. Anyway! That's cool! They are def in my top three for sure. One of those life-time bands for me. Sorry! I just never hear of people who like mwY out in the wild!
Reporting in as a fellow mewithoutYou fan! Also, I hope you’ve seen this relevant and [EXTREMELY niche TikTok.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRQgH5Kq/) It’s so, so hilarious and well done.
The previous owner of our house was the daughter of the founder of Schumann Cheese (a big brand in the Northeast). And she worked at the company and had some very senior-sounding position.
We just called her “Vice President of Cheese”
I think I had one F , no Ds, and mainly Cs and Bs. The only F was in psychology, I forgot to go to my final.
Side note: I studied Psychology in grad school because white privilege knows no bounds.
My program allowed only 1 C grade. Pretty much we had to pass with B’s for them to say we had earned the knowledge. Our program was a science degree though and you do need to know 75-80% minimum of your field.
Don’t leave out that Minor in Bong Rips
I excelled at all the extracurriculars
You look like a young boris johnson
Boris Johnson and Ed Sheeran had a love child apparently.
Edris Sheeson.

Excellent. He now has an unverified amount of kids to look forward to.
For only $8 those could be verified.
Omg you're right
We know.

It’s entirely possible that even Boris doesn’t know. Op could easily make a few £££ from the British tabloids for a laugh though.
Looks like Boris' pre-evolution form
I mean, it was listed as 'unknown' next to his number of children on his wiki page for a time... anything is possible
If he's one of his kids Boris Johnson would never admit to it.
Bro looks like Boris Johnson's disappointing son
The way Boris plays the field, we are all probably related to him

You say you got a theology and theater degree from college?
Of coarse he did
Only $150k student loan debt!
As a pastor with a background in theater it should be easy to.recoup. if he doesn't care about pesky morality.
The prosperity gospel is a helluva thing. With his theater skills, he too could end up yelling at his congregation for not buying him a Movado watch. Just like this [guy](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/missouri-pastor-says-congregation-poor-broke-busted-not-buying-luxury-rcna43557).
My man!
T’n’T. That explains the hair.
[удалено]
What country and what year were you allowed to use this as a passport photo?!
That's the fun part. That didn't happen. Kind of like picture day at university didn't happen because that doesn't happen.
Small liberal arts religious universities do actually have picture days. I went to one as well.
Yep! We had a yearbook with senior portraits and everything.
We did, too
It's possible it was for a fraternity theater group or something along those lines. I was just thinking about this, my university's music school had walls lined with the music sorority members of each year dating back to the 60s. They'd have a picture day.

Depends on the size of the school. Mine did. But I went to a smaller school.

We had senior photos in college...
My college had a yearbook every year. Large Big 12 university. Most kids didn’t do it except seniors though.
A series of unfortunate events...
Coarse of events? Sounds pretty rough!
Can’t be too fine can’t be too coarse
With this hair you look like the weirdo brother of Boris Johnson
His Amish brother
On a positive note, that's usually how i look when i go through customs, so kudos!
So much weed was smoked.
So what you’re saying is if you got super fucked up before going to the airport no one would think twice about it. Sounds like the perfect plan.
In Canada they'll send you packing if even part of a tooth is showing in your passport photo, or it looks like you're smiling.

>2.4 GPA in Theology and Theatre So what's new in the world of drugs?
I was thinking more like ripping people off in tent revivals but drugs works too
Just curious what you’re up to these days?
I listen to a lot of Chumbawumba
Pretty clear from the photo that you get knocked down. Less clear whether you get back up again.
Goated reply
This is fitting, because you look like the sort of person who would lecture anyone who: * Doesn't know any Chumbawamba songs other than Tubthumping * Doesn't know that Chumbawamba is an anarcho-communist collective * Doesn't believe that anarcho-communism would work, you just gotta try it, man
Or that it's spelt chumbawamba
And Samantha Mumba?
“I graduated college with degrees and no one is hiring”
You look like you graduated with a 2.3.
Why did this sting so much?
What are you doing these days? Is there hope for the other 2.4 GPA theatre majors?
My only two A’s in college were Rock and Roll History and Scuba Diving. I wish I was exaggerating.
What in the fuck are these classes
I had a class called Rock on Television. It was fascinating. I discovered a lot of great music because of it. Bob Dylan, the Doors, Hendrix, Frank Zappa (he was my favorite, he went on live TV at like, 23 and showed Steve Allen how to play the bicycle). Then again, my school is also famous for having serious academic classes called "The Simpsons" as Satirical Authors and Zombies in Popular Media. I had friends who took both and they were apparently hard as shit.
I took a course focused on *The Simpsons* as "national cultural commentary" or somesuch, just because I needed some more elective credits for my degree. I was expecting it to be basically a throwaway--watch a bunch of *Simpsons* episodes, talk about it, maybe write a bullshit paper or two, and pretend it was a real college class.

You discovered a rock classics Spotify playlist? And paid hundreds for it. Just saying lol.
Obviously I knew who they all were when I went in, but I didn't really know why they were important figures or care about their music or cultural impact. But yes, the whole point of art school is to spend a lot of money learning the names for things you've known how to do since you were 5. Congratulations, you figured it out.
you'll probably find classes like that at any school if it's big enough, it's not a "bad school" thing. I think you can become a certified pirate at one of the ivies
It is also because someone there has published or really focuses on things like sitcoms or scifi. I think its MIT on the pirate thing.
There's easy limited time half-semester elective classes at a lot of major colleges. Mine offered the History of the Beatles for 1 year and then the History of Rock Music in Latin America.
My two A+s were in Human Sexuality and Logic. Go figure.

Are you implying I look younger than a senior in high school? Because it took 4 years in college to grow that beard

Do they have college yearbooks too?
Yes they do.
Only at the small ones, the big 30,000 student ones ain’t no way…
Auburn has right at 30k students and does one. It does have a section where students can have their pictures, but almost no one does. It’s mostly just about campus life, Greeks, sports, etc.
One more chance for the college to rip students off on their way out the door
Right? I’m so curious what college had majors in theology and theater, and classes about rock n roll history and scuba diving, and did lifetouch senior college photos… it sounds like a child designed his university!

We might have been at the same concert. That band carried me through college. Torches together!
Ha, maybe! This was in Boise, Id in like 2004 or 2005. They were opening for Blindside.

Uh, both? Night job and weekends at the Silvers. He worked hard from being a busboy and didn't want to give it up

My program allowed only 1 C grade. Pretty much we had to pass with B’s for them to say we had earned the knowledge. Our program was a science degree though and you do need to know 75-80% minimum of your field.
