been thinking of this idea for a while...

why dont we see what kind of people we have on this site? yeah this is basically an epic claim thread but please be honest. for example if you attend M.I.T. or you have a world record or something like that then post.

lets see how far NS people go in life.

I'm headed to grad school in September in NY, I live in Mammoth, I own my own business, I ski 5+ days a week, I'm living in france/italy for a month in April to ski.

I haven't cured cancer or anything, but I think im doing relitively well compared to the majority of my peers.

I'm about to be published in Nature and I work with a professor who will probably win a Nobel Prize in the next couple of years...should have 3-4 high impact publications in the next year or so.

That's pretty prestigious if you know much about science...Nature is the most prestigious journal in the world.

im not happy. going no where in life. cant justify college money and general labor/minimum wage jobs suck to pay rent on. moved back in with mom, cant even buy weed anymore cause i have no money. not a whole lot of friends here cause i didnt care for HS. so i came back to nothing. fml

congrats to RACHY though. seems like youre a real winner...

I'm spending a year in america NOW, mostly to ski. I know Paddy Wallisch, and watched x games men superpipe final from athlete support and talked to a lot of cool athletes and ski involved people. I am a junior high school honor student, and I take AP classes...

I love my life, and thats a claim for me!

You can change that though. If you're not happy, it's your own fault for letting yourself get that way. Yes, I know the economy sucks and finding a job is hellish. But if you're not consistently looking, who do you have to blame? There's always something better. I have faith that you can turn it around.

i look for jobs er single day girl. its dumb as fuck too - apply at one place they say they dont need help then 2 days later they advertise in the paper? ok.
these are low to no skill level or experience jobs too. wtf. im trying to turn it around. college - great idea but i have no fuckin clue what to go for and am not about to waste another 10 grand in a school that ultimately does nothing for me. i did that already, its dumb.

I'm one step away from being a full blown alcoholic, I have sleeping disorder, I'm never quite as healthy as I should be, I attend college but had a poor showing during the fall semester, and I spend quite a bit of my time alone. I don't ski nearlyy enough despite being 30 minutes from the mountain, and my left ankle is still swollen from a grade 3 sprain over 2 months ago.

I love my life!

damn i should answer myself...

i have a 129 IQ

next year 4 out of my 5 teachers suggested i take AP classes for my freshman year as long as i "step up and keep up with the homework"

im probably not going to though. just cause i hate homework.

ye that's a kick ass one,
Worked all summer from 530-10 at night, bangin a fucking goddess along the way. Saved up enough, now i can ski in Cali till the end of May without having to work one day. Pretty much all I've done with my life, except smoking far to much weed.

My friend and I won and split $10,000 on pokerstars (1st place in $11R tourney)
I've had sex.
I've helped my friend steal a shit load of plants from a guy who robbed him
I have repelled, but nothing near the size of a skyscraper


On another note, I took 7 AP courses in HS, Currently an undergraduate Mechanical Engineer. Helped my dad start an engineering company that is growing rapidly and has a lot of potential. I have designed parts that go on telescopes and satellites. None of this was given to me, I worked for it all, and I have so far managed to pay off a substantial amount of tuition on my own, my parents help with little of it. I am still not content with my life and have my own issues, but I am striving to be more appreciative of what I have accomplished and this thread is a much needed refreshment.

I get paid to ski.  I design jumps, rails, jibs, etc.  I save lives as a patroller.  I am going to the University of Wisconsin -Madison.  I'm going to get 80+ days this year even as a full time student without a car at school.  I think i'm doing alright.
