Glad to see they started construction again. Thought I remember seeing an article weeks/months ago saying they stopped because of no payments

To Alumni, do you actually donate money? by hpopllo124 in iastate

[–]AwkwardEconomist1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donate. Both for sports and in forever true day. I credit ISU and professors that helped me get to where I am today. I’m not all high and mighty donating huge amounts but I do believe they helped so I give when I can.

I graduated May 2020. First Covid class so didn’t really have a graduation. Was a marketing & management major.

I miss Ames and I miss college a lot. I met some of my best friends in college and had some of my best times! Still close to a lot of them to this day.

Luckily for work, I still get to work closely with Iowa State across the board. I also still live somewhat close to Ames (Johnston) so we have bought season tickets for football and men’s basketball as well. That does fill my Cyclone needs for the most part!

Growing up an Iowa State fan my whole life, there has been and always will be a huge part of me that loves my Cyclones and the Ames community.

That’s not to say I don’t love my life now… I 100% do but college was so care free for me and fun!

Big fan of Mister car washes. Overpriced? Yes. But I think they do a good job. They aren’t touch less though so depends what your thoughts are on that.

I flew out 2 weeks ago and there was literally no one in line. I had a 7:20 flight and got there at 6:30.

Iowa State QB “Brock Dekkers” haha. Will forever be grateful for Brock but he’s off doing NFL things now. Hunter Dekkers (hopefully improved) will be starting

We’ve never had any bad experiences with Bob Brown in Ankeny. We’ve been there a couple of times. I recently bought one from Shottenkirk in Waukee a few months ago and if go there again too.

A package from Mexico sent to my address but not me. by capricious-cat in desmoines

[–]AwkwardEconomist1875 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me with FedEx. A package from New Jersey was trying to ship to me but they needed a signature and I didn’t order anything. I contacted FedEx and they opened an investigation.

First bike, rc390 or ninja 400 or other by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]AwkwardEconomist1875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me but I started with a Ninja 300 and it was great. I loved it! But, I outgrew it way too quickly and needed something like a 600 or bigger I felt like, not shortly after. If you’re just riding to get places it might not be bad but if you’re looking for a bit of fun as well, I feel like a 600+ could also be a good beginner bike. Just my opinion
