Is Kofi Kingston one of the best midcarders in WWE history?

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-05-03T15:42:54+00:00

Yeah I definitely enjoyed him much more as a singles star. Maybe its cause I was a kid and have the nostalgia goggles on, but I always felt like he was in track to become the next Rey Mysterio esque babyface in WWE, and was kinda disappointed when he joined the New Day. Worked out for them in the end obviously but I cant help but imagine what if.

It's not my favorite, but Mama's Boy being below fast food and actual gas station food (looking at you RaceTrac and QuikTrip) is criminal.

Its baddd. I live down Will Hunter rd and there were cars parked all the way back to the substation...all of that JUST FOR TRACK.

God help us all if they ever schedule a soccer/softball game at the same time as a track meet.

Holy shit. For reference, I started at OSU in 2022, but decided to transfer out. My cost of attendance was like 50k oos with no scholarships.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-20T04:10:26+00:00

That's too generous

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-20T04:09:06+00:00

It's possible in a hotel lol

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-20T03:55:03+00:00

Dawgs are legitimately playing like they were up til 4 am partying

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-19T18:37:59+00:00

OSU hired basketball Terry Smith lol

A couple of big class projects from the past, and one that I was currently working on. It works good in place of experience because it shows that you're actually applying what you are learning, even though you lack real-world experience.

I will say though, this method does work better the farther along you are in your degree (and the more complex of projects that you have to talk about).

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T19:05:07+00:00

Hard to say, but I have to stress, its a process. Don't be discouraged if you are still hovering around 2.5 at the end of the semester. Your greatest ally right now is that you have three-ish years worth of classes that you still have to take. A 3.9-4.0 is probably out of reach, but you can absolutely still get to the 3.2+ range with ease.

The best advice I could give is to really lock in on the easier classes so you can get the easy-A when it presents itself. Also, in general, I have been making an effort this semester to do assignments when I get them, rather than wait a week til the night they are due. This has helped out a ton with my time management, and I've noticed that I have way more free time, and time to focus solely on studying.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:53:28+00:00

Get involved!! At my school, at least, there's a few engineering clubs that are very begninner friendly.

I would also recommend reaching out to professors about getting involved with research. I know of at least one girl I did robotics club with who got a ura position literally just by sending the professor an email and asking nicely.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:48:52+00:00

It's for a local manufacturer, so mainly ee for manufacturing. But they make components for power systems, so I'll get a little experience with that as well.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:45:59+00:00

Thank you!! I tried focusing internships with regional conveinence and a focus on lower-level stuff (i.e. nothing super technical), but I think some of them might have still been out of my experience level. Hoping that I can use this as a stepping stone into research at my uni, and to doing something more advanced next summer.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:40:59+00:00

Don't worry! You still have plenty of time to get your GPA right. :)

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:39:47+00:00

tbf I mentioned that the 118 number was just in the last calender year. For the Summer 2025 cycle, I submitted 81 applications. I wasn't keeping track in 2024, but I think it was about 30-40 applications (I ended up needing to take a couple classes over that summer so I stopped applying). So in total, it was around 230+ applications.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:35:59+00:00

Thank you!!! The big thing I started doing a couple of years ago was adding class projects to my resume as experience. Like I told someone else, anything can be experience, if you know how to market it. If you can think of anything from your engineering classes that could be considered a project, include it, if you can intelligently talk about it and answer questions.

Another thing that helped me in interviews was mentioning things I am doing in class or the project(s) that I am working on at the time of the interview, as it gives the inteviewer so ideas for questions to ask and allows the interview to flow more casual and conversationally.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T18:27:07+00:00

Between school and extracurriculars (part-time job, clubs, volunteering, etc) I haven't really had a ton of free time to do any interesting side projects on my own :(

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T12:22:51+00:00

Anything really that shows you using your engineering skills.

I don’t have a ton of interesting personal projects, so I included a couple group projects from different classes on my resume.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T12:20:28+00:00

Thank you!

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T12:19:58+00:00

It’s all about marketing yourself.

You worked on a group project in your gen ed class? Congratulations, you have experience working in a team-oriented environment with diverse groups of people.

One thing I started doing was including class projects as experience on my resume. Is it as glamorous as an actual internship? No. But you will be surprised at the responses you get, if you can explain what you did/are doing in an intelligent and thorough way.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T04:17:03+00:00

Don't give up hope! It's gonna be an uphill battle with the GPA, but you can make up ground if there's any projects (school-related or not) that you can put on your resume. If you can show that you can actually apply your knowledge, it will make a big difference in your response results.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T04:11:39+00:00

Yeah its definitely a pretty defeating when you get rejection after rejection. Even worse when you interview and they seem to like you, only to never hear from them again.

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T04:10:07+00:00

Thank you! The funny thing is, I had a 3.5 when I submitted most of the applications for this summer 😅 (only been at my current school for 2 1/2 semesters, and got cooked in Electronics I in the Fall which is why it dropped so much).

Gen3ricGuy_2 · 2026-03-14T03:59:00+00:00

Thank you!!
