Graduate Students dreams...

Published 02 July 2010 by Adam Culligan

We have collected all the responses from our "Grown Ups" competition on unigrad.com.au and let me tell you, there have been some beauties.  Some of you out there must have had some awesome childhoods!  We have selected the winners and will be getting in touch with you all, if we haven't already, to get your movie tickets out to you.  Just so we can all have a little bit of a chuckle at the results, here are a few snippets from some of the better ones:

"I wanted to be the captain of boeing 747's, and whilst flying my passengers i would also provide the inflight entertainment and sing Tom Jones. I went to all the trouble of learning all the words to every Tom Jones song in anticipation."

"When I grow up I want to be the world champion at connect four. I've never been beaten. I reckon I have what it takes."

"I wanted to be as cool and famous as the Spice Girls, and be in an all-girl pop group. Funny thing was I can't sing nor dance! ...Dreaming was fun though... better than reality of Accounting exams!"

"A Transformer. I'd be a transformed Batmobile or DeLorean from Back to the Future with: massive guns (which I've now got), Laser Eyes, flamethrower, Wolverine claws, jet wings, a mean roundhouse kick, lightsaber, nun-chucks and the hidden ability to turn into a Super Saiyan Transformer"

"I always wanted to be the bulldogs mascot in the NRL, girls free footy and getting to bash other mascots - it was like the everyday super hero that had a free pass to do what ever he liked instead of saving people all day!"

"I literally wanted to be a tyrannosaurus rex. Being a competitive little tomboy, I thought it'd make me FAR cooler than all the smelly boys!"

and one of my personal favorites...
"A Fireman, cause they get the ladies..."

 Thanks again to all our participants and keep your eyes open for the next competition to come down the pipeline!
