I was surprised to find that the university signed off on my proposal to start a Student Veterans' Association and have agreed to fund it, once I submit a constitution and bylaws.

Does anyone know about this stuff?

My knowledge so far consists of mess meetings, the shitstorm of the Firearms Association, and The Wire

Hey duders,

I'm putting together a pass-down document from my class to the next class of vets in my program and I was wondering if anyone here had any inputs from their own experiences. I'm in a grad business program, but some experiences transcend schools/programs. I'd also be more than willing to supply a completed document to anyone that wants it (assuming I get enough to make it worthwhile).

Any thoughts?

I like the idea - it would've been nice if I had something like that when I started up college again back in 2005 - but what kind of inputs are you looking for? Admin pointers like not trusting the GI Bill to pay you on time? General stuff about how much you'll hate your classmates? Tips about not being the creepy guy at the party?

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I talked to my professor regarding the one group project where peer evals could cost me my Summa Cum Laude honor.

The dude is so loving chill, it blew my mind once again. He essentially said "Listen, I know how you work from last semester, and I saw that 80% of the mid-term group submission is your writing, so if the rest of the project is garbage, I'll grade you exclusively on the work you did and ignore the peer eval. I'll talk to the class about potential bad-faith evals like that tomorrow."

So I'm now gonna finish my poo poo by Sunday, and then just smugly play super-loving-clueless and innocent while the rest of my group continues on down on their Kruger-Dunning Spiral and giggles about giving me a lovely eval.

Talked to our outgoing no-fucks-given dean today regarding commencement etiquette, and he went "wear everything you can in a huge dumb heap, just make sure my honors society is on top" , and since I might get reimbursed for all commencement-related apparel, I'm thinking about going full retard and buying every single dumb item of honors bling that I'm eligible for, so I can walk around jingling like a rainbow-leper in two months.

the only honors society I'm in outside of the main school "honors program" just buys us a little colored rope or something, like the infantry.

The secret to calculus is making yourself forget EVERYTHING you know about math aside from the deductive reasoning aspects and then memorizing the different rules.

This. Basic math is fine. I'll even fanagle my way around excel formulas. Everything else is stupid because I don't understand it. I don't want to understand it either. Just like you don't want to know about the Johari window in communications or why your resolution is the way it is on YouTube videos.

I'll leave that poo poo for people that can do math. I need flexibility and don't abide well by solid rules mathematics typically applies.

Chill professor update:

He prefaced his talk by saying "this isn't necessarily specifically addressed at this section", and then went on to point out that he would consider coordinated or unduly awarded peer evaluations an act of academic dishonesty. There were a whole bunch of quickly-exchanged glances around the room, but my group mates barely even registered the speech.

Kruger Dunning is a hell of an effect.

Have a brief look at what two graduating marketing majors believe is sufficient effort and contribution to their capstone project (a strategic marketing plan).

quote:

Our two merchandise items that we want to really focus on are a Hydroflask and Fanny Packs. Both of these fit OCWC brand. We will leverage the social media platforms to promote the HydroFlask & Fanny Packs. In deliverable 6 we discuss a drawing for a free Fanny Pack by utilizing Instagram which in turn gets the word out about AZ Gives Day, OCWC and promotes the merchandise.

As previously stated in deliverable 2, we gave the suggestion of creating a sponsorship with Hydro Flask. They have sponsored XYZ. The company is all about giving back to causes that are near and dear to their heart. Hydro Flask has a new giving program called Parks for All. We know this would be a positive impact for x
“With our new giving program, Parks for All, we’re focusing our efforts on one overarching goal: supporting the development and maintenance of public green spaces everywhere to enable people to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilled lives. This extends to parks of all kinds and sizes, in the U.S. and beyond.” (Hydro Flask)

They also donate to nature causes. We chose Hydro Flask because they are the fastest growing hydration company in the United States. Which means two things for x. They have money to help support, and this is a very popular product that many consumers want. Hydro’s market placement is in the Outdoor arena, Natural Food, Coffee and Beer channels. Since we want start with Arizona College students (deliverable 6). We feel the Hydro is the perfect fit for both parties involved, x and Arizona College Students. Hydros also promote using a reusable bottle instead of carrying plastic water bottles to the creek or in nature and just leaving it in nature.


Pictured above is an example of what the Hydro Flask could look like. We chose this very colorful design because it shows the beauty of Arizona, specifically x. We chose the colorful photo catches people’s eyes and promotes the thought process that Arizona is beautiful state and we need to take action to keep it that way.

Our second and final merchandise piece is a Fanny Pack. We know the Fanny Pack is a great way to have a bag to carry snacks in, but also they can put the trash back in the pack and carry it back out. Fanny packs are trendy with college students which are our initial target market; therefore, we feel like this will be a perfect match.
x can create any type of merchandise that is requested including fanny packs. (see Deliverable 6 for pricing)

His favorite "profanity" was "dirty sow." He also referred to hired help as "Tobies" and legit did not know what that meant.

Actually a really good dude, just way funny for reasons beyond his own comprehension.

We had a kind of slow Asian dude in one of my units that all the black guys called Toby and I'm pretty sure I was the only non-black person who got the reference or it would have been stopped, but I was a grossly irresponsible NCO and let it slide because I thought it was funny.
