Sweet jesus. I thought this was a troll post for a second. I went there, so scream bias all you want, but its grossly exaggerating. I'll preface by saying I knew stupid rich kids who did dumb shit thinking they were bullet proof, some got off, some didn't. I'd imagine his opinion came out of two stories, unfortunately within a few months of each other, in which sorority formals resulted in drunken vandalism and property destruction of the venues. Chapters were disciplined and fines were given. There was no buying out of trouble and it was a HUGE black eye for the university. In terms of the overall perception of the school, its preppier and more affluent than some midwestern schools, but again, big exaggerations in that bullshit broad sweeping generalization. Its a PUBLIC school of almost 16K kids. Its not some small, ridiculously expensive private school that caters to only the affluent. I heard way more stories of ridiculously spoiled kids from the East Coast doing shit from my sister at U of Wisconsin than I dealt with. The fact that the Greek System includes almost half the student population will go a ways in perpetuating stereotypes as well. People see kids in frats, at a school that has alot of kids wearing polos and boat shoes, and assume they are all filthy rich shit heads. Having parents that make ~$90-100K a year means you are well off and maybe, depending on the family, spoiled, but that doesn't put you in a category of people that can do whatever the fuck they want with no consequence. All it takes are a few idiots, a few wealthy students, and some J Crew clothing and suddenly its Trust Fund U where students get away with murder. My alma mater has its faults, and I'm more than happy to point them out and I don't blindly defend douchey fellow alums, but it was a good school in an idyllic setting and other than higher admission standards and recruiting targeting at good/upper middle class suburban HSs in Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan, I don't think you'd find it much different than other similarly sized schools across the country. EDIT: Also, its called Miami University after the Miami Indian tribe that originally owned the land the University purchased. The school is located in the Miami River Valley, etc...
I was popping a zit in el husband's ear. It popped back. it flew up 8" to hit me in the face. I ran to the mirror to find it. Oh god, where is it?!?? IN MY EYE. His zit flew in my eye. He about died laughing and had just enough time to snap a picture. This day will be forever documented.
I never thought I would say this, but... can't you just talk about poop, like you normally do? For a hot girl, you are gross.
The Florida Miami is named after the Indians from the Ohio area for some reason. Miami (Oxford) does have a larger amount of the grating preppy students from around the area. They had a string of incidences with their Greek system throwing formals and absolutely trashing the venues. I partied up there a handful of times but I had a shit ton of fun. Green Beer Day is fucking awesome. They also have a high ratio of very very hot girls. *JWaggs beat me to most of my post. It was TLDR the first time I scanned through.
It is a fact that Madison* is home to some of the biggest douchebags in the world. *By Madison I mean the entire state.
Let's all make fun of this idiot. I mean... how dumb do you have to be? There's a comment down below that alludes to possibly a dumber crime he committed earlier in the year. No idea how true the falling asleep part is, this is the only article I found on it.
God I just learned way more than I ever have about Miami Ohio and Miami Florida! I can't wait until I use some of this info during my Wednesday night bar trivia!
And that question is, how old is 24 really? I feel 24 is the eve of uncool. On the cusp. Overreaction? I'm taking it difficultly.
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/</a> Seriously, though, it's just the time when most people are finally over the college years and looking at what path their adult life might take. Coolness is a concept that people overrate. It's basically a skinny tie that goes in and out of fashion. Confidence is the black suit every guy should have.
