Huzzah, I'm on the home stretch! Two more semesters and I have my Econ degree!

And here I am at 10:32 AM browsing Talkbass. I love that I don't have class until 2:30

anybody else starting classes soon?

Econ? At least you'll know why you won't be able to get a job when you graduate....

Just messing with you-enjoy your really expensive piece of paper!

I kid, I kid-you're at least better off than the guys who "got a degree" in botany.

My last semester for a Masters of Engineering (Chemical) began last Wednesday. 15 more weeks!

As soon as I finish, I'm buying myself an Omega Seamaster Professional. Can't wait!

Awesome choice in watches! I start my final year next Monday and when I graduate I am convincing this guy (www.archerwatches.ca) to makes me a limited edition Areo 45. Doesn't hurt that he is my uncle.

Dangit, me too. Nice watches, and pretty reasonable prices. I'd be all over a Stratos or a Ref. 1440 with an automatic movement.

AFAIK he doesn't make a watch with an auto movement anymore and one of the two he ever has is strapped to my wrist right now. Drop him an email and he might be able to work with you on something.

This is my senior year, but I'll be taking a victory lap for another year to get my dual major/minor. Hopefully it'll by me some time to get a few more internships as well.

All the best in your endeavors! And, down the road-when they ask, "when were you in college?" You can answer-back during the depression.

I'm starting back to school next Monday. I'm a second year doctoral student. Whereas getting further in your course work as an undergrad is exciting, because it means you're getting closer to being done, getting further in your coursework in a doctoral program is depressing, because it means you're getting closer to your comprehensive exams and dissertation.

Watches? When I graduated college, I celebrated with a new Carvin Icon (though a bunch of people gave me watches), and when I graduated from my Master's program, I commemorated it with an Eden head.

I go back Thursday. Although I just graduated from high school, I'm on my second semester. Ultimately I'd like to pursue engineering.

I really don't want to go back, but I'm hoping to meet people too since I don't have any friends left over from high school.

I am confident you've heard this before, and you may or may not have taken it to heart, but college is most definitely the best years of your life.

Enjoy your senior year every second you can, soak it all in, and have as much fun as humanly possible (while still graduating, mind you).

Life is most certainly not the same once you leave college, and for most, it can be a rude awakening to enter the workforce.
