It's your beave. How you doing? Thank you. Go Better. No Beavers. We don't say Beavers. We say No Beavers. Everyone tells me it's always dark and rainy outside, but it's not that bad. No. Yeah. This is the best it's ever gonna get. The other eight months is just total gray. What is that thing? Those are the starships. You're gonna think they're cool at worst, and then freshman year, you're gonna have a weird obsession with, like, bullying them. And then after that, even though they're annoying, you'll be chill with them. Do you know what dorm you're in yet? Either Poling or McNary. Yikes. You're doing weird, bro. There's no cars coming. Exactly. You only cross when a car is about to hit you. You gotta keep them on their toes. You're telling me I can ride these whenever? Yeah. But watch how much you're spending on them. Last year, I spent $200. So what's the best dining hall? Your favorite one is probably gonna be whatever is the furthest walk from your door. If a panda, I'm gonna be here better day. It gets old. No, dude. I love panda. It gets old. So when's your registration day? One of the later ones in August. You're gonna have all eight AMs and night classes. I'm hyped for the game days, but I just don't wanna wear orange. Dude, I know you're gonna think it's weird, but once you start going here, you're gonna think it's tough.
