Skiing is serious business.

Me chillaxing in Europe with my doggy friend.

[Mutant Sheep]

Dog friends are good friends. Human friends are just hot.

A couple of songs from my band, Vireo. Heavy blue-rock sound. Suggested if you like: Grady, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Black Keys, lots of Canadian rock.

Hurricane

Like a Dog - A fan cobbled together this little promo video for us with some clips of gigs.

Would love some feedback!

Well, I'm certainly impressed.
Not much I can give in terms of feedback considering my lack of any musical talent, but I certainly like your sound.

I'd add Dead Kennedies to that list of "If you like..." if I were you. Although that's not much of a connection. I think it's just the vocalist. Maybe I'm weird. Anyway...

Chilling at sports games and such.

In that first picture your hair reminds me of my brother. Which is weird because you don't actually look much alike.

Gwyn is at university!

... so, apparently Frosh is just a Canadian thing. For some reason, other universities don't have a week-long party/orientation thing before classes? Well, this one is from one of the Frosh events.

Spoiler

Drinking crappy beer on beach day, in the middle of the day. Beach Day was so much fun. Getting back was NOT fun.

This next one is just a random night I went to.

Spoiler

That night involved drinking at the football game, then drinking and partying at rez, then going to the campus bar to the SLASA (the (something) Latin American Student Association)'s party, had a few drinks there, then one of the girl's friends (not pictured) invited the rest of us (literally just the people in the picture) to his apartment, where we partied more, until we eventually went home around 3:30 in the morning. Got up the next day, was still solidly tipsy. Did not sober up until noon. That's a personal record.

My first college has a week-long freshman orientation. Except it's all about writing and crap like that, not meeting people (outside of class) or drinking (well it is a "dry" campus).
My current university just has a two-day orientation thing, and I'm not even sure which of the two experiences was more of a drag.

Silly troll, the sports are in the other direction. That way lies but madness, and by that, I mean the cheering section.

Nope, we don't. We have a fortnight-long party/orientation thing before classes. And here I thought everyone did just as us...

I'm older than I look. Promise.

The sample I got from a friend who also happens to be a semi-professional photographer.



My puppy, asleep on my hand. He's my guy.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Well, mine was over a fortnight. Especially cuz it didn't really stop until classes had already been going for over a week... So it was more like half a month.

Partially cuz QC is one of the only places where the majority of first years are drinking age in north america, our frosh involves a LOT of drinking. One memorable night started with a few beers at noon, then we went on a pub crawl downtown, then we breaked for a few hours, then we predrank at one of the frosh leader's houses which was fun, then we went to a club.

I have never seen so many Americans learning their limits as I did the last month.

Pretty, although I think black and white photography is a bit silly when not properly justified. Not as bad as Instagram blur, but it's a bit of the same thing...

Yeah, we begun with lectures after a week as well. And yeah, pretty much everyone but those who started school early are of drinking age by then. There's actually a saying that Uppsala University creates almost as many academics as alcoholics. Lots of partying is what the student life is all about.

I'm a terrible student.

As a US resident I'm still underage. I went to school young, so I'm only eighteen as a junior in uni.

[Teddy]

18 is legal age for drinking here in Sweden, and unless you started school early, you're going to be at least 18 when going to the university.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I can't tell which one you are in that first photo Gwyn, but you look older than I remember in the 2nd one.

Also my friends. I mean, who goes to school sporting events to watch the game? Pfft.

Yeah, that's standard. I was sixteen when I started college.

It's a thing over here in Aus, but we call it O-week. You can either play it straight and just sort of learn about the uni and what being at uni is like, oooor you can be drunk for an entire week and maaaaaaaybe be sober for classes come the following week :P

I'm the one on the far right in the middle of saying something. The embarrassingly thin one with no shirt. I burnt so bad that day. Sunscreen is for people who aren't me.

And I love this one because all the drinking is fully put on by the school. Even though the McGill Daily disapproves of the drinking and immature chants. I don't think there's a single song or chant that I can post on this forum...

You are very skinny, Gwyn. Decent tan though.

Hmm, can't say I see the similarity myself (not much punk in our stuff), I'll have to give some DK a fresh listen!
The vocals/guitars are me.

Gwyn's all nekkid and stuff.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yep, we call it introduction camp. At college it's usually a weekend or 3 days long, and at Uni a week long. Not that much fun for people who don't drink though. Tons of fun for people who don't mind getting a tad drunk or are still naive about the ways of alcohol and want to be introduced.

[Zherog]

Way back in the dark ages when I started college (aka, 1988) we had a weekend orientation in July, and then started school the last week of August, with Freshman coming on campus a day before everybody else.

Orientation is where I met my wife, actually. ;)

You have nothing to be ashamed of sir. On that note, I do. For I was hanging out in my friends "shaggin' wagon" ... Good times.

I also somehow oranged my tongue. Still confused about that one. (Warning, photo is IN YOUR FACE.)
