Basically my cursory research on j-schools made me think to apply to Minnesota, Mizzou, and MoState. Mizzou told me to get stuffed, so I figured I'd at least visit here in Minneapolis since I got accepted and see if it's worth a shot.

Figured I'd be more of a javelin guy myself.

But seriously, I don't know why I'm timid in this situation... I guess I'm too used to having friends to hang out with in social settings I'm too chickenshit to roll solo.

Go watch like 3 movies by yourself, spaced out weeks of course. That will slowly build your confidence. Then start to go out to restaurants by yourself and after that nothing will phase you, and you can get laid whenever you want. Guaranteed to work.

Surprised there isn't a 1-800 number attached to this advice.. Or an ad for a 7 disc DVD series which includes a regimen in solo-restaurant and moving going that I am in fact taking part in said 7 disc DVD series.

Are you planning to move? I have you talked to North Dakota State here in Fargo?

Have not. I pretty much figured take three shots of applying as a transfer, let the options shake out as they may, then decide what to do. Unless I'm wowed by what Minnesota is selling I'll probably be at MSU for three semesters.

Full disclosure here; I actually do say this out of habit after I started saying it in jest to acquaintences of mine who actually pride themselves on being Affliction clad, just-got-back-from-the-gym-gettin'-Swoll, asshats who refer to each other as "brah". Most of the time I'm mocking people when I use it but now I actually use it in conversation with friends. My German great-grandmother who had to teach herself English is probably rolling in her grave for the fact I willingly use horrible versions of the language... That and me being chickenshit.
