Nothing as difficult as whether or not to get a nipple ring or a "my mother never loved me" tattoo, but a tough choice just the same. I'm going to go to grad school. In trying to decide whether or not to participate in post-graduate studies, I did what IVe always heard you should do when facing life-ordeath choices. I made a pro and con list. Obviously, the list is completely unscientific and basically useless, but, what the hey, I decided, didn't I? The reasons to go to graduate school, as I reckoned them, are: 1) Graduate school is the chance to further my education and become a more productive member of society. 2) I could make more money when I finally go to work. 3) I get to delay my job search for another two years. 4) It gives me more time to start that Meat Loaf cover band I've dreamed of all through my undergrad years. 5) I get more letters after my name. 6) Hie letters "GRE" are the first three in the word "great!" 7) I can skip the milkshake line and start working at the drive-in window right after I graduate. 8) I can impress people with words like Impecunious" without looking like Fm showing off. 9) It's fun to irritate fellow grad students by cheering for your undergrad school at football games. 10) More irresponsible nights watching USA "Up All Night," home of such film classics as "Earth Girls "?attack B Student Media Russell House-USO Coli Lee Clontz I Jimmy DeButts Editor In Chief Sportt Editor Susan Goodwin | Kim Truett Viewpoints Editor rooto Editor Steven C.
