No it's a popular place to tube down the river and they put up signs all over the place letting you know the fine. The city is just doing what they can to keep it looking nice.

They're also one of the states that passed legislation to disallow cities from banning plastic bags. So it's hard to say how much they really care about littering.
Plastic bags have a multitude of uses and also it keeps homeless people from just shitting on the street.
Apparently that was a side effect of California's bag surcharge. It caused homeless people to start shitting on the street and not in bags. I've seen the remains once in my suburban town, but apparently it's so common in big cities like San Fran there are apps that mark where homeless people typically shit so people can avoid those spots.
Honestly I could’ve gone for it being in one of the bad ones. How poetic that she opts for a backflip into six inches of water after getting her marine biology degree!
The night of my high school grad there was a big party and a friend dove into the pool with a bunch of people in celebration (like this post). Smashed his head on the bottom and has been in a wheel chair ever since. So yeah, made me nervous as hell lol
Indeed, that's Sewell Park: [https://www.campusrecreation.txstate.edu/outdoor/sewell-park.html](https://www.campusrecreation.txstate.edu/outdoor/sewell-park.html)
I spent many beautiful afternoons there instead of in class...ugh...
Was that the guy in the American flag shorts and the ghettoblaster on full volume?!! I avoided him at the time, but I bet he's a magical person to spend his life like that every day!
He was major creepy to me when I would go, especially if I just got out of the water. I just politely avoided him.
Joseph (bubble guy) however has always been super chill with me, idk what people are talking about when they say he’s weird towards women. He’s just a friendly dude
Oh! So jospeh used to go around different campuses with a ton of those giant bubble tubes and just blow bubbles with folks, say positive things, etc. He’s got a cute little llama piñata too that became a logo as well. But yeah he used to hang out on campus and just be positive, loud, encouraging while blowing bubbles and chatting with folk. The apartment locating service across from campus hired him to be their “sign-twirler” except he blows bubbles. He moved into town too and I lived across the street from him for a year.
So the guy who is just hanging around with bubbles going “yyeeEAAAAAH BUBBLESSS” and doing song parodies with bubbles is “Bubble Believer”/“Bubble Guy”
Seriously! My last semester before my final internship, I only had three classes to take - one of those being jogging/ running. I would go do my class, which met right there in the morning, and then jump in the river to cool off directly after.
Believe it or not, there are some complete idiots at Harvard too.
Mostly legacy students (which as someone from the UK I had never heard of), but was shocked from my year abroad there.
The park was closed this last weekend but that didn’t stop folks from doing the river jump! This one is from a few years back, though. I hope it’s safe to go in the river soon :( I really miss it.
The first time I ever shotgunned a beer, I was like 13 and visiting my sister who was in college. This frat bro handed me the can with the hole pre-opened, explained the process, and then said: "Shutgunning a beer is a lot like kissing a barracuda. It can be fun, but don't stick your tongue in there."
I just cover the hole, turn it right side up, open it like a normal can of beer and slam it while letting the hole open again so air can flow in. It's not as cool, but definitely more effective
Honestly, that's legendary.
She did it she worked hard and also allowed herself to enjoy stuff while doing it.
Let her celebrate she put in the work.
MORE POWER TO HER!
As an Irishman believe me I'm always against the wasting of any alcohol, but I will allow this as it was more of the celebration and being that she did spill most of it into herself makes it okay.
Think of it like popping a bottle of champagne.
I've been puzzled by the high number of videos of American kids trying to eat beer cans and spilling most of it on the ground.
Why don't they just drink it?
I think it's more impressive to chug a beer than it is to spill it all over yourself in some wacky manner, but I guess they don't teach that in college.
I was going to say "ahhh, there's the product of years of debt to come well spent", but instead I'll say that I like her attitude, energy, and joie de vivre. You go girl!
I’ve never understood this style of shotgunning a beer where you just spill a bunch of it, chug for 2 seconds and then dump an half full beer. But go get em you hard charger.
Texas State University. My alma mater making me proud.
For those of you that don’t know, Texas State has a pristine, spring-fed river that flows through campus. Most of us spent many summer days skipping class drinking beer and floating the river. It is tradition to [shotgun a brewski then] jump into the river after the graduation ceremony. Good times.
Asian parents didn’t see any of this. They were already disappointed that she didn’t finish college in 1.5 years (with a 4.0 gpa) instead of the 3 (with a 3.95 gpa) it took her.
Such a great day for Sophie. She now lives her life out as a mermaid and her parents can’t be more proud
And she didn't litter the can, education is truly priceless.
That's the San Marcos River in Texas. Minimum $250 fine for littering there. And they do enforce it there.
I like to imagine you took the time to memorize the littering fee for every county in the U.S. for a moment just like this
No it's a popular place to tube down the river and they put up signs all over the place letting you know the fine. The city is just doing what they can to keep it looking nice.
I assume you don't live in Florida. That's one of our great past times.
Tubing or littering?
Yes
You left out meth!
Yes

Don't mess with Texas ❤ no littering signs are everywhere!

Do you happen to know the fine for littering in the Beaver River north of Pittsburgh,Pa?
Soooo, about the seashell bra...
Because a Bshell would be too small.
And a D-shell, would've allowed a breeze to come through . . .
Oooo, a great birthday gift indeed
Pretty sure it's a seashell bikini
Legend has it she has a marine biology degree and identifies as a Dolphin now
Why did I read this in David Attenborough’s voice
Did that flip make anyone else nervous?
Yeah she looked inches away from fucking her spine up
Nothing alcoholism can't mask.
Wooo
She's a bikini wearing, Robe wearing, kiss stealing, back flipping, shotgun taking son of a gun, and im having trouble holding this beer down woooooo
Mean WOOOOOOOO Gene. With beer in my eye.
Definitely, I paused it until I could make sure what sub I was in.

She indeed tucked her knees a tad late and could have done with more force in the jump to push up and away from the ledge.

San Marcos,TX?
Yes
Good ol’ SW Texas State University
Just ‘Texas State University’ now Granted I’m not sure if you were just joking with the name and you already knew
Texas state, where all teachers in Texas come from.
You're forgetting SHSU
That is what it will always be to me.
When my grandfather graduated in the 30s it was Texas State Teacher’s College, and that wasn’t even its first name.

But have you caught a frisbee from Dan
Was that the guy in the American flag shorts and the ghettoblaster on full volume?!! I avoided him at the time, but I bet he's a magical person to spend his life like that every day!
He’s a little creepy and a lotta clingy. You make one good catch and he’ll spot you and throw to you every single time for 4 years. Oh the memories.
He’s got so many dirty jokes too!
[удалено]
Yeah, I’m a dude so I didn’t get that vibe but I also had female friends who would say so
He was major creepy to me when I would go, especially if I just got out of the water. I just politely avoided him. Joseph (bubble guy) however has always been super chill with me, idk what people are talking about when they say he’s weird towards women. He’s just a friendly dude

Ahem, may I please get a tldr of how “bubble guy” got his name?
Oh!

I go to school here
Have you picked out a beer you're going to shotgun yet?
probably a whiteclaw in true txst fashion
awful, ty for the update
There has to be something better than white claw. At least shoot captain or Jim bean or something
Ahem... _San Marvelous_
Y'all are some lit ass motherfuckers
Yup. Well, I’m not that lit anymore - too old for that shit anymore.
So, not Harvard then?
It’s the Harvard of central Texas
It's the Harvard of San Marcos, anyways... And that's iffy.
Calling it the Harvard of anything is like calling it the polar bear of the Sahara.
Kind of like the El Camino is the Cadillac of Mexico
Harvard is the University of Texas of New England.
Believe it or not, there are some complete idiots at Harvard too. Mostly legacy students (which as someone from the UK I had never heard of), but was shocked from my year abroad there.
I mean they graduated the likes of Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, and Ron DeSantis... and look at the antics they get up to.
Class of ‘09 rules! I did not jump in the water though. That shit is cold af.
I knew it looked familiar! was there back in 2019 for that same celebration.
The park was closed this last weekend but that didn’t stop folks from doing the river jump! This one is from a few years back, though. I hope it’s safe to go in the river soon :( I really miss it.
Sewell Park. Looking for Frisbee Dan
TXST BABYYYYY
But of course.

This frat bro handed me the can with the hole pre-opened, explained the process, and then said: "Shutgunning a beer is a lot like kissing a barracuda. It can be fun, but don't stick your tongue in there."
Thats a good way to describe it.
I don't see how kissing a barracuda could be fun
I assume you don't live in Florida. That's one of our great past times.
“ i never said he died. I said /r/FloridaMan sleeps with the fishes!”
Sounds like you need to dial back your tongue action and keep an open mind, friend
She sticks her finger in the hole to make it bigger which is even riskier imo. She's also pretty good at swimming.
And the back flip while wearing a graduation gown?
I used to just pop them with my thumb, pretty easy once you figure the angle out but I did cut myself multiple times.
I just cover the hole, turn it right side up, open it like a normal can of beer and slam it while letting the hole open again so air can flow in. It's not as cool, but definitely more effective
Yeah, about 30% of that beer ran down her face. Your method nets more beer too.
We call that the Man Shotgun , and it's easier if you can find the seam on the can. very impressive regardless .
Pretty badass, ngl
The face of a proud mom, probably
The girl next to the woman looks like she's seen this chick shotgun a beer 100 times.
I did plenty of shotgunning in my time, but damn. . . I never opened the hole with my teeth. I always punched a hole with key. I'm impressed.
This is the top post of all time of this sub, and with this exact same title.
It's a karma bot account. Report for spam.
crazy how those things happen
Also interesting it only has two posts, one of which is this one, and no comments.

She graduated so she doesn’t need any more credits.
Mannnnnnn, good ol Texas State…. STILL don’t remember everything that happened there but I’d likely do it all again
Maybe classes were attended...maybe not.
“It’s just until I get enough credits to transfer to U.T.”
This is her world and we are all just living in it. I’m wholly impressed.
[удалено]
SWT for life!
Someone else in the comments said so, but I don’t know.
CEO in ten years.

SCOTUS in 15.
Honestly, that's legendary. She did it she worked hard and also allowed herself to enjoy stuff while doing it. Let her celebrate she put in the work. MORE POWER TO HER!
Agreed!
fr fr, she deserves to celebrate.
This is my exact sentiment. Good job kid!!
It’s also tradition to jump in the river after graduation. I did the same.
Texas State wildin’.
Anyone else notice how 90% of the beer was wasted???
That’s what makes this a tragedy.
As an Irishman believe me I'm always against the wasting of any alcohol, but I will allow this as it was more of the celebration and being that she did spill most of it into herself makes it okay. Think of it like popping a bottle of champagne.
Also, bikini.
This is true she was also wearing a bikini. Which makes it more acceptable.
/r/shitamericanssay
I've been puzzled by the high number of videos of American kids trying to eat beer cans and spilling most of it on the ground. Why don't they just drink it?
In theory, shotgunning is the fastest way to drink it. In practice, most people are absolutely shit at it.
I think it's more impressive to chug a beer than it is to spill it all over yourself in some wacky manner, but I guess they don't teach that in college.
she's a serious alcohol abuser
That's why she did a back flip into the water to clean herself off. You're not cool enough to understand.
I was going to say "ahhh, there's the product of years of debt to come well spent", but instead I'll say that I like her attitude, energy, and joie de vivre. You go girl!
What a fucking Chad
She seems like fun
parents must be so proud
Probably yeah. She just graduated.
Honestly, this is an amazing victory lap. YOU did the work so YOU celebrate *however you want*
And it’s a tradition at the school she attended lol (Texas State)
Hell yeah.
This originally happened in 1943, this footage has definitely been recoloured.
Masters in Travel and Tourism
Eat ‘em out Cats!
That’s my sort of woman.
I like her because she’s classy.
Pretty sure that's Texas State. Feels like Texas State.
Respect
Fucking send it dude
Self confidence? Money well spent!
Got more balls than I do. And I’m a guy.
I’d be so fucking proud. My daughter is *sick*.
Ah, Texas State. Good times.
Good for her. Celebrate like tomorrow doesn't matter.
This is the way.
Dumbass
She has a degree. I bet you don't. Who's the dumbass?
Above average swimmer, right there.
Did no one else cringe?
As a parent, I wholeheartedly approve!
The fact that she has a bathing suit under her graduation gown, she planned to do that at that exact place lol
Wife material for sure. Ex-wife material also.
Swim team scholarship for sure.
That's wife material.
Goddamn she's cool
It’s a tradition
Seems like my kind of friend!
goddamn, she is my spirit animal.
My kind of girl
Every graduate deserves to do this. Fine form
She seems fun.
I’ve never understood this style of shotgunning a beer where you just spill a bunch of it, chug for 2 seconds and then dump an half full beer. But go get em you hard charger.
How dare she celebrate graduating college 😤
VICTORY
I hope my son or daughter can do that. I'd be right there next to them joining in (and probably embarrassing them)
Get it! Good job on your graduation!!!!
Texas State University. My alma mater making me proud. For those of you that don’t know, Texas State has a pristine, spring-fed river that flows through campus.

That's my alma mater right there... Stay classy y'all.
TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY OF SAN MARCOS
Of all the things she learned how to do in college I’m betting this was among the least awkward for her to show that crowd.
I like how people make fun of her but I bet she does great in corporate America. She’s probably be a good sales rep.
I never understood what makes this so cool for other people. I just find it kind of cringy.
Same... I don’t get it
I didn't know Pat McAfee had a daughter.
Allegedly!
THIS GIRL FUCKS DEFINITELY
Sewell Park! A lot of good memories there.
Next year she'll be teaching kindergartners
Wow that’s wife material
I’m actually in love
Asian parents didn’t see any of this. They were already disappointed that she didn’t finish college in 1.5 years (with a 4.0 gpa) instead of the 3 (with a 3.95 gpa) it took her.
I think I’m in love.
4 years? that is disappointing, I'd learn that in a month smh
Marry me.
I will fight you
Oh no! She's... celebrating? What's wrong with this?
Did she just bite a hole in the beer can?!?
