VS fashion show is on... and my budget cries.

If I could just die and come back as Candice Swanepoel that would be great. Thanks.

I'd come back as Lais Ribeiro. She is gorgeous.

That store is dangerous for my wallet! If I could, I'd live in VS sweats and jackets.

And that is some killer saving! It's like Extreme Couponing for VS.

I work for bath and body works so our discount works there and they give us an extra 10% off for christmas. I've been waiting for this for months so i could stock up.

Am I the only one that thinks it's cool to see your daughters gym on posters and stuff


When you go to the Aca cheer comp page they have like 4 pics that go by... And two of them are of vipers

And then you go to the athletics web page and you see vipers

And the summit pic link right below in the same screeenshot is another picture of a team of our vipers


And at nca nationals they had quite a few uniforms on a hanger but only a couple on a mannequin

And it's our level 5 uniform.

I guess it's just cool because we aren't a big name gym but they select our photos and stuff and idk... I put this in random because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one impressed

My girls' school is featured on our state high school athletic association page. They won state four years in a row about 10 years ago. Still makes me smile to see it.

We are a small school and don't compete any longer.

Is it common for upperclassmen to get meal plans at your school? Here it's just freshmen. And the only people who run out of swipes are fraternity pledges who swipe older guys in all the time. Everyone else is trying to use theirs right now, we have a few places where you can buy like a Gatorade or a Rice Krispie for fractions of meals and they're wiped clean right now. I have 11 days to use 55 swipes and I rarely eat in the dining halls. Swiped in 3 upperclassmen last night and my sister and a friend today, using 12 swipes and still have to use 5 a day to use them all... If only you could send your mooching friends to me!

That's so weird to me!
I think it's pretty common for upperclassmen at my school to get meal plans - ours are pretty complex though.

Freshmen have unlimited swipes for the dining hall

Freshmen have Purple (Pirate) Bucks which can be used at any of the other locations on campus like starbucks, chickfila, panda express, chilis, etc. Does not roll over after freshman year ends.

Upperclassmen have Gold (Pirate) Bucks which can be used at all of those places PLUS any athletic event/venue. I think I get $300 per semester and it rolls over until I graduate.

Then we all have a designated amount of Pirate Meals. Pirate Meals are predetermined meals from each venue and 1 meal = 1 swipe. I think I have about 40 meals per semester. For example, a pirate meal at chickfila is 8 piece nuggets, fries, and a drink. orrrr if you were to go to pirate grill it would be like a grilled cheese, fries, and a drink. Each place has a few different options you can choose from. Its up to you if you want to use a pirate meal (for the predetermined meals) or pirate bucks.

Upperclassmen have to use Pirate Meals to swipe into the dining hall.

Every one of our meal plans would have Bonus Bucks, which would be used when your meal when over. Each meal would have a value, like $5.75 for breakfast, $6.75 for lunch or $8.50 for dinner. (That's just an estimate but you get the idea.) Each meal plan would come with a set number of Bonus Bucks. Like, the 15 meals a week plan came with $200 Bonus Bucks. Any time your meal would go over that amount, you could put the rest on your Bonus Bucks, which could only be used for that and never carried over. You could also put it on your Carolina Cash, which was money that could be spent anywhere on campus or places in town that accepted it. Or just pay the overage in regular cash.

After freshman year most people didn't keep their meal plan. Greek kids would go on their house meal plan, and anyone else could just load up on Carolina Cash instead and use that for food on campus.

The meal plan sucks IMO - it is one of the only complaints I have. I think the Bonus Bucks don't come standard anymore - you have to pay extra. You can only use one swipe per "meal session" and a lot of times class times interfere so you may only be able to eat after 11 and then not again until after 4 and then late night, especially if you are not a morning person. You can only get a pre-determined amount for each swipe (i.e. a burger, fries and a drink is a swipe. If you get onion rings instead of fries, you have to pay extra). If you get a salad and it goes over on protein or weight, you have to pay extra. Portions on the entrees are small. I think that is why a lot of students don't bother with it after freshman year (in addition to most students living off campus after freshman year). If my kid is hungry after a meal, I can't imagine how a 19 year old 6' 200 pound male student is feeling.

I guess we have it easy - DS's meal plan is unlimited all-you-can-eat at the dining halls with added flex dollars ($90-400/semester) to use at other restaurants on campus. You can get either a weekday plan or a full week plan. And there's a basic and value option for each of those which changes the amount of flex $. I think he eats about 6 times a day, LOL!

I agree, I didn't like it. I was glad to switch to my house meal plan. You should consider just going just the Carolina Cash route next year, and you'll probably save money. (If you make sure she doesn't blow it all off campus )

Not gonna lie, my school had an unlimited meal plan, too, and it was the biggest highlight for me on the tour. It was a biggggg plus, especially after reading all these other meal plans.

Meal plans sound super complicated and expensive. I'm glad there is no such thing in Germany.

 

[Cheer Dad]

After reading all these meal plan posts I realized I have no idea how cp eats at school. #parentfail
