Fuck College

Good to know that no matter how stupid I may seem, TelCat will always lower the bar for others to walk over.

DTF, look it this way: you might be dumb, useless and good for nothing. But the worse the university is, the more hot chicks there are. Not that they are more attractive, but since they spend more time applying makeups, they do appear to be better looking.

P.S. think it this way: Einstein was rejected from universities and Bill Gates never graduated. Seriously not being able to get into Yale is not the end of the world.

fucking straight. i got accepted to UNT, LSU, Centenary, and UT-Dallas, but I'm at LSU-Shreveport for financial reasons

You should remedy your financial situation and go to UTD.

We have a killer chess team. ^-^

Tiny hands? Like carni-folk? Ph?

[Spider]

There are hot chicks at all the schools, don't worry. Yale is for people with tiny you-know-whats anyway.

Meet me at Foxwoods.... fox-woods

Mohegan Sun > Foxwoods. I grew up in colchester, but moves to Willi-rico for school. Then joined the army. Im about to seperate from service and come back home though. Wanna go to the casino for new years? I'll be going with my wife and a couple friends.

[Scoop]

I got accepted into UGA. HF mates.

[DoTheFandango]

Thanks alot guys. I took myself out to spend money I got at Christmas and just basically realized it wasn't the end of the world.

Further, "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" is possibly the best song ever.

you know when youre drunk and you tslk to your fridend online and they thinkmyoure a comp;lte arsehole

yeah that just happened

[Liquid Blue]

Exactly, at least you aren't me. Look at me, I obsess over 80's cheese metal, TiVo episodes of Rob and Big and compulsively do my laundry. Actually, fuck that. That's ridiculously awesome.

I meant look like a goober, but hey that works too

I'm still in touch with 90% of my good high school friends, lots of them are in town a lot, and even a few of the ones that aren't I talk to on the phone or whatever. Maybe PJ's friends just sucked or something. On the other hand, the friends I made in college I basically never talk to.

Screw your townie friends, Face! Just kidding. I only keep in touch with 3 of my friends from high school, although I can't really count the college friends since I'm still in college and see them (once break is over). Friends are friends no matter what, if they think you're a loser because you didn't get in a certain school then they really weren't great friends to begin with. From the few "AP" classes I took in high school, while there were some very cool people there were also elitist snobs that let their gifts get the best of their common sense, much like blonde bimbo cheerleaders.

Besides, this might seem like a big deal now but it's just another drop in the bucket. In ten years you're going to be worrying about mortgages and how you're going to pay for that wedding ring or which co-worker is sleeping with the boss...it's not the end of the world, just another earthquake.

i'm finally going back to school in the summer, yay! here's hoping this time is the charm.

on the topic of friends, i now have friends from four different cities because of four attempts at going to school and what peej said is absolutely correct in my case. they're true friends, brosephs through and through. on the other hand, i only still talk to one person i went to high school with.

[Facetious]

One thing I can add: as much as most people hate to admit this coming out of high school, you aren't going to stay in touch with the majority of your current group of friends as you proceed with your life.

yea at least you aren't peej, for instance.

Lots of good advice in here, DTF. One thing I can add: as much as most people hate to admit this coming out of high school, you aren't going to stay in touch with the majority of your current group of friends as you proceed with your life. I'm talking 90-95% of them. I stay in touch with two of my friends from high school. Two. And only one of those is on a regular basis (and she wasn't even one of my best friends back then). Like LB said, sometimes I like to think life gets in the way for a reason. You'll make new friends, trust me...you seem like a pretty decent guy- you'll be fine.

Friends made in high school, for the most part, are people that you happen to get along with because you're both coincidentally in the same place at the same time. That is the strongest bond you'll have at that time. The friends you make in college will be more lasting because you'll connect on a lot of different levels from the get-go. The friends I made in college/university/BOOK LEARNIN' PLACE/whatever are easily my best friends now.

Good luck, skippy. Mind if I call you Skippy? Of course you don't. What's that? Don't get all fucking uppity with me, Skippy. I'll turn this damn thread around.
