6 years on newschoolers.com....

[midwest_rep]

Wow, its been 6 years since I first discovered this site. that's a long time. I remember because I was a senior in high school and it was during a break between lunch and my next class that I just happened to stumble upon a neat skiing site that was linked to the FreeRideZone.com (very cool website). There wasnt much on it at the time, just an ugly blue background and a lot of backflip mutes. But there was cool trick names.

In the six years that I have been "midwest_rep" on NS I have:

- never changed or updated my profile

- lived on 2 different continents

- gone to 2 different colleges on different ends of the country

- written 2 thesis papers and recieved 2 degrees

- lived in 4 states

- lived in a dorm, 3 apartments, 1 host family, and 1 house

- had the following jobs: landscape labor, Pepsi product distribution assistant, YMCA Day camp counselor, Keebler Merchendiser, Keystone Ski Instructor, BASS shoe salesman, Factory worker, and I now work in a Cancer Research Lab.

- tried 8 different kinds of drugs

- been caught using 1 kind of drug

- had 2 serious girlfriends

- purchased only 2 new pair of skis (still have my old yellow 1080s)

- had best friends from Japan, Scotland, England, Chile, Argentina

- Changed my life plan from being an author to ski bum to journalism to Classical studies PhD to medical school

- Skied mountains in 3 different countries and in 7 different states

- Watched and memorize every episode of Family Guy and Futurama

- Gotten so drunk that I didn't remember starting to drink in the first place

- Learned how easy it is to take control of life and make it what you want it to be.

Also, one time I pooped so much in this girl's toilet that it plugged it up and I was too embarrased to say anything so I just left and never spoke to her again.

[sniper_6]

ok this is the first thread ive seen in my 8 months here where the person who started the thread doesnt get ripped on by anyone. everyone is being cordial and offering congradulations. this thread is the nicest environment on the site. so congrats on getting newschoolers to not be dicks to each other for the first time ever. nice job midwestrep

When you an NS senior, getting ripped on it like a sin. You just don't.
