I heard that the 7-11 near DigiPen is the highest grossing 7-11 in the Pacific Northwest. I wonder why... 🙄

Never expected anything less. Good for you.😊
Officially turns down the liquor offer

Perhaps you'll pay a few visits to that 7-11.

I know I would. I'm attracted to convenient stores like a fly is to a bug zapper.

If there were a college I'd want to apply for more than anything, it would be DigiPen. What exactly are the admissions standards for that place?

fairly high for colleges, from what I've heard. Basically, almost all of the graduates get jobs in the video game industry immediately after school ends, and have an average salary of 90000 dollars or so. The school is supposedly very tough, very geeky, and very efficient.

Congratulations! I am soooo envious...DigiPen was way out of my price range.

Congrats, Ganon. 😊 I go to a Community/Technical College. A lot of times, I'm not even considered a college student because of that. You're only a college student if you go to a University or an equally expensive college.

I know people, who aren't even planning on expanding their education, that make fun of me for attending a Community College.

I plan on visiting them all at their hamburger-flipping jobs when I make a lot of money, doing what I like to do, and rubbing it in their faces 😊

Good question.. I'm pretty sure its all about high grades and test scores in Calculus and Physics. My english blows donkey nuts, so that was a stretch..

also, since I have been to a prestigious college for a year already (Concordia College, Moorhead) they might have thought it was hard to get into this place, which it wasn't at all, but it all came together in the end.

and theplustwo - i'll make sure AGN is the first to know about new developments!

Foxy 23 Apr 2003, 18:22

Sweet!!! I hope you have lots of fun and learn lots of new things! 😃

(Hey, I have to add the "learn" part...otherwise I wouldn't be AGN's foxy mommy. 😉)

Wow, excellent Ganonator!!!! *wildapplause* 😃

/me tosses confetti into the air for Ganonator

College is a grand thing. My semester starts in fall. U of F all the way. 😃
