Graduation's just a few months away but I'm not ready to say goodbye to anyone yet.

This was pretty much how I felt for an entire year leading up to graduation. I even remember already feeling wistful when I was cleaning out my dorm room on the last day of my junior year. It's a 180 from high school graduation where everyone can't wait to be done and move on to the next thing.

 

Just a little advance warning: if your reaction to graduating is "what now?" that's normal, especially if the degree doesn't naturally lead into a clear and immediate job. Hell, my degree did lead into just one kind of work, and yet I had no idea what I was going to be doing that next fall when I graduated.

Basic Instinct was pretty wild. Good stuff though. Verhoeven can shoot a movie like nobody's business.

Dirty Money on Netflix is fantastic. 

 

The second episode about pay day loans has full access to the bad guys who still think they’ve done nothing wrong.

When your friends somehow decide getting up at 5:30am on a Saturday to go buy Bagels right when the store opens is a good idea, and drag you along too?

Are they poor people bagels?

 

(I saw Molly’s Game today.)

[DeeCee]

I like a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onions and capers.

Any idea how to fix the forum so that it doesn't squish the threads to make way for the background on the right? Just started happening today on my computer...

I mean they’re good but cheap.  We got bagels and coffee now we’re going to the panaderia.

TBH, I'm not even trying for a traditional career post-grad. Just gonna try to find ways to get by until graduate school in either 2020 or 2021.

My favorite is a multigrain bagel with cream cheese and guacamole. Topped with lemon pepper.

If you also toast the bagel before adding all the toppings, you have amazing taste:)...

Guys, I have made a survey of 10 questions that asks for Feedback for this year's BOFFYs, as well as feedback for this year's BOT Top 100 Movies of All-Time List.  It'd be appreciated if you took the time to fill this out!
