Whatsamatter U

The record books are wrong.  Zero doubt.


Although I have two children who graduated from a school with the largest living alumni base, Indiana University, there is a school with a far larger one. 


And that is, Whatsamatter U.  I along with all the other graduates and current attendees are enrolled free of charge.  In fact it has open enrollment, and no age qualifications.  There are no standardized tests outside of being human.


I officially was accepted and entered into my first year at WU early in life, age 9 or 10.  Having done something that even I recognized was a little “off the beaten path”, my father (and if my mother knew, she left it to him to call me out on it) said to me, what’s the matter with you, [Berman]?  That one was a very short course I took, passed, and have yet since to repeat.


There have been other courses, too.  Many in fact.  I took enough classes to earn my Ph.D.  Thank God I graduated; there have, however, been moments where I almost enrolled in post graduate studies. 


One of the best parts of WU is that it is completely free.  No tuition, no alumni fund drives.  And it has open enrollment.  Alternatively, there are no vacations, no summer breaks.  Classes are 365 days a year.  And also no discharges to go home.  It’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


If you are still attending classes, please ask yourself why.


If you know current students, please provide that alumni support we are famous for.


Wishes for a great day,

Each one a gift,

David/
