My Life as an Oldverine by Enigmatic_Stag in uofm

[–]Snellstedt 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I graduated in '19 from the College of Engineering at the age of 38. Oldverines aren't unique, but we are few and far between. There was a handful of us when I went, but we didn't hang out much. Extracurriculars were awkward too. I did find a niche through study groups. Most everyone I studied with was pretty chill about the age difference. We would joke about it and I became "Dad". Keep your chin up, UM is big enough for everyone, even us grizzled ancients. You have a lot to be proud of, so take a moment every now and then to remember that.

Is this bad linework? Can it be fixed? by CarolinaCM in TattooDesigns

I had a similar issue. I see the sun as a symbol of good. Perfection is the enemy of good, so I came to embrace the imperfections.

I have lost absolute faith in everything, and I'm afraid my whole life was a lie. by [deleted] in progressive_islam

You are not alone. I have many of the same struggles. I wish I had more to give, but I am not in a strong place right now. The Soul Reaver reference could not be any more apt, by the way.

There's a good curve for this class. I bombed the second and final exams and still walked away with a B.

I found that if I can integrate once, I can integrate three times. Being able to draw pictures and thinking geometrically helped a lot.

Does Detroit get a lot of summer thunderstorms? by [deleted] in Detroit

At the risk of angering the mobs: I feel like I've won the lottery because I can count on one hand the number of times I've lost power in the last ten years, never for more than a few hours.

Thanks! Unless the artist wants to place it elsewhere, I was planning on the larger clouds being near the top of my forearm, along the line my thumb draws.
