Class of 05, baby. Maybe this was just my schools but, Columbine happened in 6th grade for me and had an impact on us. It’s only gotten worse since then, but that’s easily the first school shooting I learned about. I have a distinct memory of my friend crying the day we were told about it.

 

Class of 2014. On the cusp of being a millennial and gen z. Everyone was shuffling sophomore year. 9/11 happened my first week of kindergarten.

 

I just got a few more grey hairs.

 

You guys aren’t getting any more weirdly specific info out of me in this thread. I graduated in ‘35 if anyone asks.

 

hi everyone when you graduated college what was your mom's maiden name and your city of birth

 

I mean, graduation year of college or high school is often on Facebook and or LinkedIn. I don’t think I’ve ever seen either as a security question. But maybe some programs do? It’s not a very good one.

 

Oh man, Columbine. I was in my “block class” in 7th grade when that happened and for whatever reason the teacher turned the TV on and we were all watching the news story unfold while a bunch of kids started panicking in class. Rumors started spreading wildly that it was going to start happening in every school and that we should all be prepared to run.

Columbine seems like a whole other world now that we’ve had like three dozen other Columbines or whatever. Real grim stuff.

 

Class of 17' here

@Blink182Bouncer and @Onlyadirector are cool, rest of you are just oldies

 

Class of ‘04. My back hurts

 

I now from time to time take evening "I'm going to rest my eyes for a bit" sessions at 7 or even 8pm #adulting

 

Class of 05. Everything since then has been awesome.

 

Class of '11 here

 

Ah I see this was really just her taking a shot at his progressive politics
“'You know, it's one thing to mislead people about your healthcare plan," she said.

"It's another thing to tell someone to her face that a conversation which you know happened didn't happen.' I mean, that would have been, I think, a really important moment for her."

can she please just go away?

 

I had no idea there were other Gen Z'ers in here haha that's great

 

anyone who says the line is getting blocked

 

I’m class of..









WHOLE PAYCHECK

 

Graduated hs in 2007!

 

Related to the "whole paycheck" joke, in the neighborhood that I'm moving to in Chicago basically the only grocery store is a Whole Foods. I've pretty much decided that I'm going to go to a cheaper store in a nearby neighborhood, but my mom keeps on asking me "why don't you want to go to Whole Foods." It takes every ounce of restraint not to say "more like Whole Paycheck" in response

 

Now you can tell her it’s because their CEO is a hack
