    Two topics in one! I got accepted to UW and some vids

    Yeah so i got my acceptance letter today, so i was pretty stoked about that. I can't wait to go back to the westSIDE! (tri-cities is getting old and boring these days).

    But yeah here's some videos that represent my username a little better than the last thread.

    of course the angles don't really do them justice but the first one's about a 15+ footer from where i landed and, ok, the second is kinda weak, but meh

    I couldn't afford UW even if I wanted to go. Even then, I'd probably get my ass handed to me in class, UW is wicked hard. I know a handfull of people that pulled 4.0's in high school that got pwned last year at UW. Of course, if you can get through your first year, the second gets a little easier, and once you're in your area of interest the classes are way easier, so I'm told.

    ya, i have 4.0 too so i guess that means i'm getting pwned, but oh well at least their will be some things there to take my mind off the pwnage

    are you kidding me? i talked to so many people and they said that UW is NOT that bad first year. The only shock is lecture halls with 250+ people
    If it wasn't for you i'd have nothing to do

    Get ready for a rude awakening guys. Everyone I know says it's hella hard. Plus, you're gonna be tempted to actually have a social life and if you do that (which I suggest) you'll have to juggle that with studying.

    Welcome to the UW, its fun. Just to let you all know, it is hard, there are only a couple classes you'll get to take depending on your major that aren't too bad and the rest will be really hard. Try to figure out a major as quickly as possible too so that you will be able to take some of you general classes as pre-recs. The advisers are your friends.

    The only hard classes at UW I had were those specific to my major. The 100-level classes with 250 people were pretty easy.
    And if you get in a class with some Football players you know its going to be easy.

    I'd like to think that I'm smarter than the average Football player. They may know a lot about zone blitzes but I don't think that qualifies them as smart.
    Both groups of people are pretty stupid though. Anyone willing to risk serious injury on a regular basis is missing a few brain cells.

    The only problem with some 100 level classes is that they cover so much info and have very broad tests. I find my major classes easier because they are more about understanding than memorization.
