Oso planning to go pro
When my son was 13, he tried to "get" me by asking: "What would you say if I got my ear pierced?"I smiled and said, "Go for it. Pierce both of them. And your nose. And your scrotum, for all I care."He's 31 now. Still no piercings.
Do you all conduct body checks on your adult kids or just take them at their word. I mean I 100% plan on getting a tattoo... my mum will not be told so how do you know you aren't on the receiving end of that?
I always told my kids that the day any of them got a tattoo or a piercing in a place other than an ear, it was time to move out of the house. My two sons and a daughter made it through without having to move out....And ear gauges. I don't get it.
Some tattoos and piercings are functional. ZFB often brags about his several well-placed bullseye tatts.
Colleges that have a mandatory one-day orientation-ish event in the middle of the summer. Sure, we’re having a good time, but what a pain in the ass. Does Marquette do this?
Marquette's is just before school starts. Xavier's is just before school starts.I think large schools do it to break up the number of students going to orientation at once and maybe are limited on student group leaders. Other than that it makes no sense.College of Charleston was rational. They had an orientation in the middle of summer unless you lived more than 75 miles away then you would come just before school started.
Marquette's is just before school starts.
Schools do this early in the summer because it gives them a more firm picture of their fall enrollment, financial position and what class sections they may need to add or delete.
Purdue also has an extended orientation right before school starts. It’s optional, but I loved orientation so I wouldn’t let her miss it. The one today - which is billed as mandatory unless you claim hardship - is for advising, course selection/registration, financial and other info. We’ll see how useful it is. My daughter is thrilled to be on campus again, so there’s that...I guess.
Creighton has an optional summer preview, multiple sessions you can choose from and then a required welcome week at move-in Saturday that goes through the start of classes the next Wednesday
I'm still buds with my Preview roommate from 1996.
Do the folks at Creighton realize that Saturday-Wednesday is not a week?
