Friday Wisdom — College

Posted on 05/17/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

Today our grandson is graduating from university with a degree is computer science so here’s everything I know about school:

The pilgrims traveled on the Mayflower. College students travel on Scholar-ships.

I remember that in college I was so broke I couldn’t pay the electricity bill. Darkest days of my life.

I was reading a new research paper about a university study of earthquakes — it’s on shaky ground.

What is an optimist? A college student opening his wallet hoping to find money.

What is the main difference between and American student and an English student? About 3,000 miles.

Did you hear about the thief in the music department? He was caught taking notes.

I knew a math major who was obsessed with discovering the largest known prime number. Wonder what he’s up to now.

At Christmas, a father got a t-shirt in the mail as a gift from his daughter who was in college. The note inside read, “Dear Dad, it’s not much, but it was all you could afford.”

The professor asked his student, “Are you ignorant or just apathetic?” The student replies, “Don’t know and don’t care.”

    Congratulations! I’m trying to reconcile the fact my own oldest grandchild is about to enter first grade. We can’t be that far apart in age 😉

    I was an optimist back in college, I even have a picture with me looking into my empty wallet. I miss those days and I wanna say to myself with Steve Jobs: stay foolish, stay hungry…
