If so, do you have an insurance on your name or are you added under your parents' policy?</p> <p>I got a good deal to buy a car, but am stranded with no license and no clue on how to get my name added under someone's policy. </p> http://forum.umbcunderground.com/topic/beer-at-quadmania-2010#post-82 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:30:12 +0000 ender 82@http://forum.umbcunderground.com/ <p>I heard there might be a beer tent at this year's Quadmania 2010, does anyone know if there is any truth to that? </p> http://forum.umbcunderground.com/topic/the-spot#post-58 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:35:07 +0000 Ih8l8nite 58@http://forum.umbcunderground.com/ <p>Most forums I've been to have a chat thread.

I know most are probably in the same situation of not having enough but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. I am in a situation where I am married, my parents are divorced and I have in-laws. It’s a sticky situation to figure out who to ask to sit on the lecture hall. So if anyone has any tickets they are willing to give up, PLEASE let me know.

I'm guessing that at least 90-95% of students are on Facebook... what do people think the number is like for Twitter? What are students thoughts on Twitter. Is it the "next big thing?" Does it rival Facebook? </p> http://forum.umbcunderground.com/topic/world-of-warcraft-players#post-46 Thu, 21 May 2009 20:53:08 +0000 seele 46@http://forum.umbcunderground.com/ <p>The semester is finally over, more time for video games in dimly lit and temperature controlled buildings!

Here are some quotes in case you can't get to the video right now:</p> <p>"My freedom will be taken away." "I'm part of a NJ Church group punished by the government because we can't support same-sex marriage." "I'm a Massachusetts parent helplessly watching public schools teach my son that same-sex marriage is okay."</p> <p>Ugghh! Seriously? We still have people out there like this and we're still having to fight this hard for such a basic liberty? </p> <p>I'm starting to go through their blog and leave comments. I'll be polite, but stuff like this shouldn't be allowed to just live on the internet without hearing opposition from the people who find it offensive. If you feel similarly, I encourage you to check out the Courage Campaign (https://secure.couragecampaign.org/), to leave comments on the National Org. for Marriage blog (http://nomblog.com/), and to spread word to friends.</p> <p>Much thanks everyone,<br /> treeveins </p> http://forum.umbcunderground.com/topic/ncaa-championship-game#post-16 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:16:54 +0000 treeveins 16@http://forum.umbcunderground.com/ <p>What'd people think of the NC vs. Michigan State game last night? </p>
