Parents of the HS Class of 2016 (Part 1)

@carolinamom2boys -sometimes I think we are the same person with the same son! lol :wink:

The only observation my DD shared with me was that sciency girls and political science boys don’t mix well. Whatever it means.

My daughter has had interest in boys, does not show it so they would never know. She had one boyfriend if you can call it that - glad that is over. All in due time I am sure.

I always read it as “Ms. Tomper” too! Lol.

D has dated, but dating is not the same as “going out” apparently, and it’s usually older boys or someone not in her own class/school. And THREE of them this past Christmas break all asked her if she would be willing to date them again, saying that they’ve never gotten over her. Must have been something in the water that week.

I didn’t date much in HS-I was quiet, shy and studious, but I hung out with my year-younger sister, who was loud, fun, and all around more popular. She got the dates, I got to drive, lol. Seriously, though. I bloomed in college, and told D that it’s likely she’ll find her people there too.

@Ballerina016 wonder how that works for a math/science boy with a strong interest in political science like mine.

DD just got into Cal Poly SLO as a Computer Science major.

@LKnomad I think the major reason for that statement was the way political science boys argue during debate competitions and in real life. My DD tends to describe everything in computer science terms. She said they argue in an infinite loop.

CONGRATS!! @Ballerina016

I’ve never dated and I feel too young anyway.

Congrats @Ballerina016

Congrats @Ballerina016! Did your D get an email or check the portal? My D’s still waiting to hear (for math). It’s one of her top three choices. Maybe she’ll hear today.

great news @Ballerina016 !

@Mom2jl I checked the portal. I believe they are about a week in a rear sending decisions, so checking the portal will help. Good luck to your DD.

Thank you @LKnomad @Mom2jl @Sophmore1

Awesome @ballerna016! Congrats!

@Ballerina016 Congrats to your D!!! <:-P

S is also in at Cal Poly SLO as a Computer Science major! <:-P

@Ballerina016 Congrats to your daughter!! She sounds like the female version of my S with the same sense of humor. Maybe they’ll end up as classmates!

Almost makes me with S had applied to SLO. It is a biggie at his high school with them even taking a group of students each year on a tour. My son passed. Oh well.

Congrats to your S! @happymochi <:-P it would be cool if he and @Ballerina016 's D ended up meeting

Congratulations @happymochi

It seems that they applied to the same schools and the same major so it is a great possibility.
:slight_smile:

Congrats @happymochi!

more good news @happymochi !!
