Happy days! My son graduated this weekend. I'm very proud that he graduated on time, with a decent GPA from a school which wouldn't have accepted him if he wasn't an athlete. Of the group of about twelve recruits who entered Pitt with him four years ago only three graduated on schedule. Now if only a job offer would materialize.
Financial freedom.

He also had a very active social life. I think this is an inherited genetic defect from his mother's side of the family.

Wow that's an expensive education system you have there. Did he get athletic scholarship (cheaper?).
University was the best time of my life, I loved every second of it. It's all downhill from there – onto the real world LOL.

Congratulations! I can really sympathize with the cost, considering If I go to Oxford this fall my 5 year running tab will be $250,000...
But seriously, the truly great thing is that your son now has the foundation for a productive life, and he must have enjoyed himself building that foundation, which is the point of college, isnt it?

If this works, here is a pic of the two good looking members of the family at Mount Washington, overlooking Pittsburgh. If not it's a X.
