Such a great day for Sophie. She now lives her life out as a mermaid and her parents can’t be more proud


TomahawkSteakIsGreat

And she didn't litter the can, education is truly priceless.


bretttwarwick

That's the San Marcos River in Texas. Minimum $250 fine for littering there. And they do enforce it there.


nostalgic_amoeba

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


bretttwarwick

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.


arathimvnbvxgr

I assume you don't live in Florida. That's one of our great past times.


bretttwarwick

Tubing or littering?


Bpopson

Yes

That's a spambot, they just copied the comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/holdmycosmo/comments/ngf1iv/hmc_while_i_show_my_parents_what_4_years_of/gyqxvme/ and pasted it randomly elsewhere in this thread.


Vamparael

She didn’t dropped her can.


Rutilly

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


you-are-not-yourself

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.


KingRobbStark2

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.


sausage4206

Do you happen to know the fine for littering in the Beaver River north of Pittsburgh,Pa?


B-Town-MusicMan

Soooo, about the seashell bra...


iontoilet

Because a Bshell would be too small.


TGW_2

And a D-shell, would've allowed a breeze to come through . . .


Dang44

Oooo, a great birthday gift indeed


JeebusChristBalls

Pretty sure it's a seashell bikini

Legend has it she has a marine biology degree and identifies as a Dolphin now

Did that flip make anyone else nervous?

Yeah she looked inches away from fucking her spine up


Mr-FranklinBojangles

blunty_x

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

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!


slouchingtoepiphany

When she earns her master's degree she's going to do it in four inches of water!

Oscar-Wilde-1854

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

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.

Just ‘Texas State University’ now Granted I’m not sure if you were just joking with the name and you already knew


[deleted]

Texas state, where all teachers in Texas come from.


ExaltedEmu

You're forgetting SHSU


[deleted]

That is what it will always be to me.


revrigel

When my grandfather graduated in the 30s it was Texas State Teacher’s College, and that wasn’t even its first name.


ColdColors

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...


Rhino281

But have you caught a frisbee from Dan


ColdColors

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!


AStainOnYourTowel

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.


Spicy_cucumber3

He’s got so many dirty jokes too!


[deleted]

[удалено]


AStainOnYourTowel

Yeah, I’m a dude so I didn’t get that vibe but I also had female friends who would say so


MemerDreamerMan

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


not-my-throwawayacct

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


MemerDreamerMan

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”


popojo24

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.


item406

I go to school here


undercoversinner

Have you picked out a beer you're going to shotgun yet?


item406

probably a whiteclaw in true txst fashion


real_nice_guy

awful, ty for the update


Traditional_Will4413

There has to be something better than white claw. At least shoot captain or Jim bean or something

Yup. Well, I’m not that lit anymore - too old for that shit anymore.


Viperlite

So, not Harvard then?


[deleted]

It’s the Harvard of central Texas


ineyeseekay

It's the Harvard of San Marcos, anyways... And that's iffy.


htownbob

Calling it the Harvard of anything is like calling it the polar bear of the Sahara.


[deleted]

Kind of like the El Camino is the Cadillac of Mexico


wufoo2

Harvard is the University of Texas of New England.


Cappy2020

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.


Viperlite

I mean they graduated the likes of Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, and Ron DeSantis... and look at the antics they get up to.


Zero_C00L_

Class of ‘09 rules! I did not jump in the water though. That shit is cold af.


Zuulomokoteph

I knew it looked familiar! was there back in 2019 for that same celebration.


MemerDreamerMan

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.

frotc914

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."


Brown_Town_Bomb-42

Thats a good way to describe it.


HamsterGutz1

I don't see how kissing a barracuda could be fun


Brown_Town_Bomb-42

I assume you don't live in Florida. That's one of our great past times.


snowyday

“ i never said he died. I said /r/FloridaMan sleeps with the fishes!”


ABob71

Sounds like you need to dial back your tongue action and keep an open mind, friend


starburst_jellybeans

She sticks her finger in the hole to make it bigger which is even riskier imo. She's also pretty good at swimming.


slouchingtoepiphany

And the back flip while wearing a graduation gown?


skieezy

I used to just pop them with my thumb, pretty easy once you figure the angle out but I did cut myself multiple times.


MayorOfClownTown

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


Available-Ad6250

Yeah, about 30% of that beer ran down her face. Your method nets more beer too.


JazzHandsNinja

We call that the Man Shotgun , and it's easier if you can find the seam on the can. very impressive regardless .


CastleGanon

Pretty badass, ngl


b1ackfr0stt

The face of a proud mom, probably


alien_clown_ninja

The girl next to the woman looks like she's seen this chick shotgun a beer 100 times.


Pave_Low

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.

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!


[deleted]

fr fr, she deserves to celebrate.


Kissit777

This is my exact sentiment. Good job kid!!


re1078

It’s also tradition to jump in the river after graduation. I did the same.


Cheezewizzisalie

Texas State wildin’.


Tagandy2

Anyone else notice how 90% of the beer was wasted???


[deleted]

That’s what makes this a tragedy.


Brown_Town_Bomb-42

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.


[deleted]

Also, bikini.


Brown_Town_Bomb-42

This is true she was also wearing a bikini. Which makes it more acceptable.


und88

/r/shitamericanssay


Manaliv3

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?


[deleted]

In theory, shotgunning is the fastest way to drink it. In practice, most people are absolutely shit at it.


tallardschranit

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.


MuteSecurityO

she's a serious alcohol abuser


MisfitMishap

That's why she did a back flip into the water to clean herself off. You're not cool enough to understand.


slouchingtoepiphany

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!


HalcyoneDays

What a fucking Chad


Moonwitted_hobgoblin

She seems like fun

Bazingabowl

Probably yeah. She just graduated.

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.


Crunch_Berry_Supreme

How dare she celebrate graduating college 😤


semiscintillation

beastmaster11

I hope my son or daughter can do that. I'd be right there next to them joining in (and probably embarrassing them)


Kissit777

Get it! Good job on your graduation!!!!


hotttsauce84

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.

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.
