My Son Got His First College Acceptance Letter

[Jekka]

TWU?

I have an acceptance letter from Michigan, but I'm still waiting to hear back from UT Austin, so right now things are up in the air.

[peewee's lovechild]

Badass! I'm starting my masters in Library Science in the fall, too.

What school are you going with?

UNT?
TWU?

[peewee's lovechild]

Nevermind, I just read the rest of the posts.

[peewee's lovechild]

UT would be nice, but I can't afford to move there right now.

Babies are expensive.

Babies are expensive.

And the bigger they get the more they cost.
Trust me, I know.

Trust me, I know.

Something to look forward to.

[peewee's lovechild]

I can't believe Duncan228 is Kyle's mom.

Cool.

[peewee's lovechild]

228 is hotter than ever.

[duncan228]

I didn't know I was hot to begin with.

[duncan228]

Something to look forward to.

It really is.
At every stage, every "milestone," I remember thinking "It can't get any better than this."

But it still keeps amazing me.
Being a parent is incredible.
Enjoy it, it goes so fast.

Yea, if you're a 20-some year old mom . . . I'd say you're hot.

If you're a man . . . not so much.

[duncan228]

Do the math peewee.
My kid's going to college, I can't be 20-something.

I am a woman though, so I guess that's something.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it.
I never thought I would, but I do.

I get all excited for the most re ed reasons.
I got excited because my baby has moved on to the bigger bottles.

Evertime she smiles, I crap my pants.

It's incredibly cool to see how she's growing and changing.

Yeah, I know.
I was sarcastic about everyone saying they thought you were 20-something.

But, you are a woman.
That's enough to make you hot.

[duncan228]

I figured it out after I posted.
Not enough sleep lately to detect sarcasm when it's right in front of me.
I mean, come on, it was peewee.

Those "re ed" reasons are some of the best.
I've loved it all, from the smallest thing to the big events.

228 is hotter than ever.

College is so much more fun than high school. It's way more exciting to be studying things you really like instead of the mundane garbage you get fed in the K-12 years. Anyways, good luck dude, and congrats.

no doubt.

there are only a small handful of courses you have to take to fulfill the requirements and then its done within 3-4 semesters, then its onto stuff you actually want to take.

[T Park]

yeah thats gotta be strange seeing your mom being called hot

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Is being thought of as younger than you are a compliment on a sport's message board? I'm not sure what to think...is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it's good no matter where you are.

Youthful but adult...not juvenile.

[bigfundamental21]

Congrats, Duncan228. I'm sure it will be one of many acceptance letters. Here's to your son landing in the best spot for him!

[duncan228]

Thanks Chopper.
I think that's what I was looking for.
That it's not juvenile.
I don't want to be confused with a teen. (No offense teens, but I did my time.)

You've eased my mind.

Nice ALVAREZ6.

Is UVA your first choice?

Well I want to study business, international business or finance, and UVA is really good in anything business, but it's just a tough school to get into, especially out of state.

I like Northeastern a lot because it's in Boston and is really good in international business and they have a co-op program so I'd work and make money too. Northeastern is pretty expensive but they gave me a good amount of scholarship money so it makes it realistic.

Thanks. That's the goal.

[duncan228]

Boston is a great city ALVAREZ.
It sounds like you know what you want, I'm sure you'll land in the right spot.
