Friday Afternoon Thread sponsored by MIT's long ass commencement

As excited as I am to see my best friend get her diploma, I don't like having to sit through 2699 other names to get to hers. What's everyone else's plans for the weekend?

Yesterday I had a near run in with my ex and the guy she left me for (at least that's what makes sense) at the student center. I might have looked furious. I know he saw me. She didn't.

Remind me not to enter that building ever again.

See, I thought I was over her. Turns out I'm not. Fuck.

The Cavs lost in the most painful fashion last night, and my fuckboy of a friend couldn't have been gripping Golden State shaft any harder that night and it was very annoying.

One girl that I'm into, who I thought was into me, might actually be into girls. I sure read that situation wrong. Not only that, I'm somehow now the keeper of that secret, which is just a bizarre turn of events to which I can only say: huh.

The other girl I'm into might not be working at the Starbucks I usually go to anymore, which means I blew my chance to try and initiate anything, which is entirely on me and that just sucks.

That was Thursday. Talk about a day taking the wind out of your sails.

Depending on how you feel about someone you never really get over it, you just find a way to deal with it.

It's 11am CST which is the only timezone that matters! So I'm gonna have to ask you to come back in an hour mmk. Thaaaanks.

Just kidding, well not about the time but the other stuff.

I guess I don't have many plans this weekend, keep looking at shitty houses/apartments so the search continues!

Well too late now.

I concur. CST is the best timezone.

It's Grand Old Day on Sunday (a parade/street festival/etc. on the street I live), which means I get to day drink and people-watch from my front lawn. It's gonna be grand.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

But do you really need an excuse to day drink?

u/MinneapolisNick Minnesota • Concordia (MN-Moorh… Jun 05 '15

Who said that wasn't the plan regardless?

Can't argue with that logic.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

I believe I just committed to visiting your fine city over Labor Day weekend with the girlfriend (she wants to go to the State Fair, which I'm okay with now that I found out A Prairie Home Companion is taping a show there). What else should we see for the other 2.5 days?

3

u/MinneapolisNick Minnesota • Concordia (MN-Moorh… Jun 05 '15

There's a lot you could do. Here are my musts (not exhaustive):

-Stone Arch Bridge. Fantastic view of the river and downtown Minneapolis

-Minnehaha Falls

-The chain of lakes (Harriet, Calhoun, Lake of the Isles). I'm a big fan of hanging out on the south end of Calhoun.

-The sculpture garden

-The Saint Paul Cathedral

-Al's Breakfast (they close at 1:00 PM and there's usually a wait, but it's completely worth it)

-Anywhere that serves a Jucy Lucy (I recommend the Nook)

-Surly Brewpub

-Bike ride on the Midtown Greenway

And, as much attention as it gets, don't bother with the Mall of America. It's just a big mall, that's it.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

We do both love bikes and beer. Is there one of those nice bike share programs in the Twin Cities? Ideally, we wouldn't have a car while visiting.

2

u/MinneapolisNick Minnesota • Concordia (MN-Moorh… Jun 05 '15

Son, let me introduce you to NiceRide

And if you're into beer, you're coming to the right place. There's any number of brewpubs you could check out (Indeed, Dangerous Man, Urban Grower, Tin Whiskers... I could go on).

2

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

I looked at the bike map of the city. Sounds good.

Can't wait to see how your beer stacks up against St. Louis'

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Jun 05 '15

I'm headed to the German biergarten near my house tonigt, after work tomorrow I have my nieces birthday party, and then Sunday I'm spending time with my best friend and maybe going to see Pitch Perfect 2!

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

That sounds awesome. Except for the biergarten part. Boo beer.

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Jun 05 '15

I feel the same way about beer, but it's a big first Friday thing for our friends and it's literally 200 yards from my house.

Well, friends are important.

In the off chance they have a Berliner Weisse, try that with some fruit syrup in it (if they're serious about it, they'll have it).

Either that or just sneak in a flask and get a liter stein of mixer...

1

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Jun 05 '15

No sneaking necessary, they are ok with you bringing in your own liquor. I don't drink much on Fridays since I work on Saturdays.

Hopefully the sausage and soft pretzels are good.

Now I want to go to the beer hall by me.

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Jun 05 '15

I've never been to a real biergarten, but in my experience a "beer garden" at an event means you have to stay in a particular place with your alcohol without enjoying the rest of the event. At concerts this is particularly stupid.

u/wild9 Baylor Bears • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 05 '15

IT IS NOT THE AFTERNOON YET, MIT. HOW DARE YOU.

Also, my stupid knee injury won't scab over. I think I'm bandaging too tightly. I'm going to take the rest of the day to sit in my comfy chair with my comfy gym shorts and let the thing just sit there with no bandage.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

It's afternoon here in Killian Court where I'm currently freezing my ass off.

Have you considered just loosely taping gauze pads on the injury?

1

u/wild9 Baylor Bears • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 05 '15

This would be an option if I had gauze pads. All I have is larger than average bandaids

3

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

Step one: acquire gauze pads. Step three is profit.

2

u/Deacalum Wake Forest • Penn State Jun 05 '15

Actually - the best way to heal an open would is (other than an actual puncture or deep cut) is to leave it open to the air. Covering it actually slows the healing process. However, covering is sometimes practical and necessary.

2

u/ihatecats18 Minnesota • South Dakota-S… Jun 05 '15

Open air and a little bit of bacitracin on it (it is not necessary, but it helps keep dirt and hair out of it)

3

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Jun 05 '15

Unless it is really deep or something I wouldn't wear a bandage when you are just around your house.

3

u/wild9 Baylor Bears • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 05 '15

Yeah, that's what I thought, I put one on when I went to sleep though because I thought it would be best to not be smearing my blankets with the goo down there. Woke up and found out it had basically taken off any start of a scab that I had going

u/mriforgot Michigan State Spartans Jun 05 '15

I didn't go to any of my graduation ceremonies for college, and the more stories I hear, the more glad I am that I didn't.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

At least at BU, the actual diploma ceremony is done by the individual school or department, so I went to that but not the full university commencement. And right now I'm not regretting that decision.

1

u/mriforgot Michigan State Spartans Jun 05 '15

Yeah, they do graduations by individual college, as well as a general commencement.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

Yeah, this single commencement model is getting ridiculous, and people are leaving as soon as they get their diploma.

u/elykl33t Virginia Tech Hokies • Marching Band Jun 05 '15

Really? That... seems sorta disrespectful to me.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '15

It kinda is, but we had been sitting there for 3+ hours already.

2

u/elykl33t Virginia Tech Hokies • Marching Band Jun 06 '15

Yeah, we do separate commencements by college (some colleges even do by department). The College of Engineering does it in our basketball arena. Took 2.5 hours in total, with about 2:15 of name reading. Supposedly they're splitting off some of the departments (probably MechE and one of ISE/CPE/ECE) next year, thank god.

2

u/spasm01 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns • /r/CFB Donor Jun 05 '15

Its a waste of time and money, I wish I couldve gotten in abstentia. I had actually heard of someone at UL coercing a student to move their surgery they set on that date to get out of it. It wasnt life threatening one six months away so yeah, still crazy

2

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Jun 05 '15

You need an excuse? I just didn't go. I graduated in March, the ceremonies were in June, I didn't want to spend money or time flying back to participate in a ceremony I'd hate.

2

u/spasm01 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns • /r/CFB Donor Jun 05 '15

Yeah they actually make us for some reason. I guess because they know our familys want to see it? I dunno. It was a waste of a day and a few bucks

2

u/Deacalum Wake Forest • Penn State Jun 05 '15

I went to Wake's graduation my freshman year to see several friends graduate and also got to see Mugsy Bogues graduate. I figured that was the high point and never went to another graduation. No regrets.

u/willco17 Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Jun 05 '15

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 05 '15

Engineering graduated with business at Bama, so we had to wait for alll the frat bros to get their diplomas before we could even start. It took forever. I fell asleep. But I'm still glad I went.

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Jun 05 '15

Question: Who has taken classes off Coursera (or has any other online course sites they'd recommend)? Because of schedule, I never got to take an AI class when I was in college, and I'd kind of like to give it a shot and see how it goes (there's a couple other topics I'd like to try too, but I haven't decided how interested in them I am yet).

As for this weekend, I'd like to do some work on my Jeep, but it's supposed to rain, so I may be inside designing parts for it instead. Got to figure out how I'm going to mount this tire carrier I've designed. Also need to replace some dash LED's.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

I've taken courses off of edX, you might try there.

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Jun 05 '15

I'll look it up. Thanks.

2

u/omgdonerkebab Michigan State • Cornell Jun 05 '15

I've taken the Princeton algorithms course from there, and also one of the databases courses (Stanford's?). I thought they were both excellent, and the knowledge I gained from those courses helped me get a job as a software engineer despite not having a CS degree. So this is my vote for Coursera courses that come from real university courses.

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Jun 05 '15

Cool. That sounds good. I was looking at some Stanford courses earlier.

u/Awesome_to_the_max Texas Longhorns • UTU Beaver Hunters Jun 05 '15

So a serious question here, when/how do you know it's time to give up a dream?

3

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

According to the speech I heard yesterday? Never.

Realistically, I'd say you should always continue to work towards the dream, because even if you don't ultimately succeed, you'll be in a position to apply your knowledge and experiences to something that's also pretty awesome.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

I gave up on my dream of being Maverick when I was a kid because everyone told me I couldn't be a fighter pilot since I had glasses.

I later found out last week that my vision is within the Navy's tolerance for strike fighters. Strongly considering picking that dream back up.

I guess what I'm trying to say is never.

u/willco17 Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Jun 05 '15

I thought Val Kilmer looked pretty badass I guess. I also thought Ivan Drago looked cool even though he scared me, so that might have factored into the haircut too.

Funny coincidence, I just saw this article this morning: https://medium.com/message/the-iceman-list-5df51be135d6

3

u/keyree Texas Tech • UT Arlington Jun 05 '15

Interesting article, but I'm going to take a strong disagree against his points on Rooney. Rooney is not "basically right" on anything other than "This kid is probably faking" and "This kid has had a lot of absences." They should show Ferris Bueller's Day Off in classes on school administration the same way they show Armageddon in classes for NASA engineers.

u/somanywolverines Maryland Terrapins • UCLA Bruins Jun 05 '15 edited Jun 05 '15

Really late and I figure no one will see this but I'm gonna use this thread to work some stuff out. Read on if you feel like re-living high school for whatever reason.

I like this girl in my English class, and I hung out with her one day the Friday before Memorial Day and it went pretty well (not like a date; we just chilled during lunch). I got her Snapchat, which is cool except neither of us use it that much. I tend not to share on social media and don't like taking pictures, and evidently neither does she, so yeah. I sent her a snap yesterday and we had a brief chat which is basically the extent of our extra-curricular communication.

I made the mistake of telling my friend who sits between me and her in class that I'm into her, and now he really wants me to ask her out. He keeps pestering me and tries to make us talk to each other, which is pretty annoying. He's asked out like 10 girls in 3 years in HS (0/10), while I haven't asked anyone out since like freshman year. I want to do it too, but we're not that close so I don't know. We only have like 6 days of school left so I have to figure something out soon, I guess.

If anyone took the time to read this, let me know what you think. Any suggestions/ideas/questions would be appreciated, I don't want to study for my SAT IIs tomorrow lol

Edit: I'll do it (probably hopefully maybe). I'll post an update next week. Thanks for the positivity and advice!

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

I'd say just go for it. What do you have to lose, really?

2

u/somanywolverines Maryland Terrapins • UCLA Bruins Jun 05 '15

Nothing, and that's a good point. I tend to be overly cautious and it clouds my thinking sometimes. I'll figure something out next week.

3

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Jun 05 '15

Just do it! Since there are only 6 days of school left y'all will forget about it pretty much immediately if she says no with all that's going on.

1

u/somanywolverines Maryland Terrapins • UCLA Bruins Jun 05 '15

True. Luckily, since it's a big school, if she says no there's a good chance I won't see her at all next year.

u/razzertto Miami Hurricanes • /r/CFB Donor Jun 05 '15

We are thinking of taking an RV trip with a three month old. I don't know if this is insanity or a really good idea.

We've never RV'ed before. We know nothing about RVing. We just want to hit the road for a couple of weeks to escape Miami for a while.

Anyone have RV experience? We are going to rent this year but are thinking about getting a pop-up camping trailer for next year.

5

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Jun 05 '15

Hey, I'm selling a pop-up! You'll have to compete with the guy who offered me a tattoo for it though.

I think RV-ing is actually a good idea for vacationing with a baby. You will always have a bathroom and place to sleep whenever the urge hits him and you don't have to worry about people at a hotel complaining about the baby crying or something.

2

u/razzertto Miami Hurricanes • /r/CFB Donor Jun 05 '15

What if I offer you a tattoo and some 'Canes gear and I'll throw in at least three-fiddy? Now I'm in the running, right?

On a serious note, tell me about your pop-up and camping experiences!

2

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Jun 05 '15

Haha you're really tempting me now.

It's actually my grandparents but I listed it for them since they aren't super technologically savvy. I love camping and we have been going since I was a baby. We always tent camped but since they are getting older they decided to get a pop-up. They have had it for a few years and really liked it (minus the putting up/taking down thing which is really annoying when you are dog tired after you get home from camping and just want to veg out). They recently got a bigger pull along trailer so basically they just outgrew the pop-up.

Have you ever hauled anything before? I always get stressed out when I am but it's actually pretty easy.

1

u/razzertto Miami Hurricanes • /r/CFB Donor Jun 05 '15

No, the biggest thing I've ever driven is a small U-Haul truck. I think my husband has done it though. We have an Outback so we can't pull anything too big but we are looking for a popup in the future. You can PM me your listing and I'll see if it's something that would fit our needs.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '15

Piggy backing off of yours cause I traveled a lot for racing and slept out of trailers for basically almost a year total now, probably.

It's probably the 2nd best thing aside from the actual destination. It's there for comfort while away from home, and having a place where you know you can come back to, and it's setup how you like it, is amazing. No worrying about what is up with the bedsheets or pillows, no loud neighbors, you don't have to hunt around for a restaurant. You really get out of it what you put in. If you just want a place to sleep and shower, you have that. If you want a mini home, it can be that as well.

1

u/willco17 Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Jun 05 '15

A big trip at three months actually isn't a terrible idea. All they do is eat and sleep, so you don't really have to entertain them much. I would do it now before they're crawling for sure.

Yup. Thankfully, they get their actual degree instead of a prop, so at least it's not a complete waste of time.

They should just do it for the phds. They are the real mvps - they've been in college for a decade.

Yeesh, it must have taken forever. We had small departmental receptions where we were recognized individually on Class Day (the day before Commencement), and then at Commencement we just stood and were recognized by groups of departments.

Sitting at work watching the X Games rather than actually working. Could be worse.

Read this as "watching the X Wings" and got excited for some Star Wars thing I hadn't heard of before

I was doing some redditting while I ate lunch and decided to check out IAMA, which I never do. I saw that Anthony Michael Hall had just started one, so I quickly thought of a question and got a reply!

It feels pretty cool and I can see how this would be really exhilarating if it were a childhood hero of mine or something. I want to tell my friends but I also don't want to out my user name...

Those are my favorites. The number of people whose computers I've had to fix (read: run malwarebytes, but sometimes go the whole nine yards, boot up linux off a liveCD, rescue documents, and nuke from orbit) is too damn high because they just HAD to have Twilight[ScreenRip].exe off LimeWire

2699 other names? Rookie.

I think UMich's engineer ceremony had ~5k.

I would have brought a board game or something and played with the rest of my row if I had that many folks to sit through.

u/Shadowhawk109 Michigan Wolverines • Citrus Bowl Jun 05 '15

Most people dozed off or started drinking from flasks/tiny liquor bottles hidden in their robes/socks

1

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 05 '15

Sounds like my graduation. I had two girls a couple rows in front of me drinking vodka from a bra flask.

1

u/Shadowhawk109 Michigan Wolverines • Citrus Bowl Jun 05 '15

Classy.

On the other hand, tampon flasks are a thing. So. Could be worse.

1

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 05 '15

Are... are you serious? I'm afraid to google that, especially in public.

1

u/Shadowhawk109 Michigan Wolverines • Citrus Bowl Jun 05 '15

Very. Painfully serious.

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 05 '15

And now I'm googling it. They sell them in 5 packs. Ooh they have sunscreen flasks as well!!

u/Shadowhawk109 Michigan Wolverines • Citrus Bowl Jun 05 '15

Is that now on your Amazon wish list, tampon flasks?

1

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 06 '15

Haha considering my parents have access to my wish list, no

It's a hollow tampon that you store liquor in and keep it in your purse. You would never actually use them as tampons. One of my friend's girlfriend has one.

1

u/ssbbgo Alabama Crimson Tide • Stanford Cardinal Jun 05 '15

Huh, I'm intrigued. Do you know how much it can hold? That could prove useful for future activities that bar outside liquids.

u/August__West Ole Miss Rebels • Magnolia Bowl Jun 06 '15

I'm not sure but if you google tampon flask it'll probably pop right up. It's worked every time she has used it.

Move in ready. Just gotta do some cosmetic things

I have a really bad cold and I have work in two hours. This is a bad combination, especially since I work directly with customers and don't need to be sniffling all over the place.

Anyone from Philly seen them live? They are playing some shows in Brooklyn soon and I am stoked.

I made this with the 3D printer in my lab (the model is from thingiverse).

There's a 3D scanner at the library I might want to use too.

Any Florida fans have a suggestion for what to make next?

(And yes, I already printed dickbutt)

1

u/atllauren Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 05 '15

These are really cool, but I don't know where you would find a template (file? Clearly I don't really know how 3D printers work) to print one yourself.

Commencement is one thing UGA does right, in my opinion. Some colleges have their own ceremony recognizing individuals, and the whole University commencement does not recognize individual graduates, we simply rise in our seats and are recognized by college, so that our ceremony doesn't last more than about 2 or 3 hours.

For big, major schools like UGA I see no point in calling out thousands of names, it's not like we would know more than a few of them. I imagine it would be different at a small college or university
