People are jokingly asking USC to consider admitting their very gifted dogs

Unleash the scholarships!

In the wake of the college admissions scandal that shocked the internet, jokes about the situation have proliferated. The first round consisted of people tweeting out the “old-fashioned” ways they got into college. Now, the dogs want in.

People have begun posting photos of their pets along with their “credentials,” asking USC admissions to accept them. (For those who are not steeped in this scandal, actress Lori Louglin allegedly bought her daughter’s admission to USC.)

We must say, these are some fetching applicants.

Hey @USC,

My dogs are pretty good at water polo. Can you designate them as recruits?

Thanks!

Everyone’s joking about the ‘old-fashioned’ ways they got into college

sudshr47 March 13, 2019

Everyone has a different experience applying to colleges.

Some take the traditional route by working hard in high school, studying for standardized tests, and writing a thoughtful essay, while others leave their educational fate in the hands of their parents.

After news of a college admissions scandal broke on Tuesday, many people were compelled to reminisce about the “old-fashioned ways” they got into college.

The scandal involved dozens of parents — including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Louglin, who reportedly shelled out a lot of money to ensure their students were accepted to colleges. But that’s not how people got into college in the good old days. Read more…

PepsiCo’s new food delivery robots are every college stoner’s dream

sudshr47 January 4, 2019

You’re hungry, you’re parched, you’re terrified of the outside world, and the prospect of moving off of your bean bag is a true impossibility. What is there to do? For some college students, you order from a snack delivery robot, of course!

Ladies and gents, meet the Snackbot.

On Thursday, PepsiCo announced that is is rolling out a fleet of R2D2-lookin’ robots at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. — to deliver snacks directly to hungry co-eds.

The robots are basically cute vending machines that can roll around campus on their own. They look a lot like a cooler on wheels, and students can order the robots to deliver snacks to them from PepsiCo’s Hello Goodness line via an app. The university is apparently “thrilled” to have them, according to its director of e-commerce Matt Camino.

A resourceful student turned to Tinder for help studying for her midterm

sudshr47 November 9, 2018

A student struggling with math turned to Tinder for last minute help.

College sophomore Maddi McMaster has taken calculus twice, and she was at her breaking point right before her midterm.

“My strongest subject is definitely English,” she said over Twitter DM. “I’ve always been terrible at math, so God knows why I chose an engineering degree when I first came to college.”

She had “procrastinated with studying,” and the high school junior who usually helped her out with homework wasn’t on campus that late.

Apple Wallet will support college student ID cards

sudshr47 October 2, 2018

Good news, coeds.

Apple announced that it’s launching a pilot program with three universities to support student ID cards in Apple Wallet. Students can add their ID cards to Apple Wallet, allowing them to do things like access dorms or pay for cafeteria meals holding their iPhones or Apple Watches above card readers.

Back To School College Culture High School Memes

Meme perfectly explains the difference between freshman and and senior year

sudshr47 August 28, 2018

There’s something so embarrassing, yet sweet, about how excited you were before the first day of school freshman year.

By the time senior year of high school or college rolls around, it’s easy to catch yourself doing things a bit differently than the wide-eyed kid you were four years ago. Thankfully there’s a meme that sums up the self-awareness perfectly.

After freshman year, levels of enthusiasm when it comes to getting school supplies quickly drops, right alongside a steady increase of the unshakeable plague that is senioritis.

Night before first day of freshman year: Ok I have my backpack, notebooks, color coded folders, pencils, pens…

Night before first day of senior year: Ok I have one piece of .7 lead…

College Facebook instagram Students University

Instagram returns to Facebook roots with university-based groupings

sudshr47 August 26, 2018

When Facebook started off it was essentially an online yearbook based entirely on where you went to college — you could only log in if you had a .edu email address.

In the intervening 14 years the social media platform has changed the digital landscape (to put it mildly), acquired other networks like Instagram, and moved far from its university-based networks. But now Instagram is considering a feature very similar to Facebook’s early days.

A new feature reportedly being tested allows student ‘grammers to join networks or special communities based on their school affiliation. Read more…
