Fuck College

[Facetious]

-i went to a magnet school and consider myself pretty socially adept... but hey, different state, different results. not sure if you were saying "magnet = no social skills", face, but i'm tossing it out there.

I'm talking about magnet schools that let people in entirely on the basis of standardized tests and grades. Didn't you go to an art magnet school? Still, obviously, I don't mean that everyone at those places has no social skills. I just meant that if you are completely lame, and you go to one of those places, you can surround yourself with people exactly like you and not realize that you really have problems.

I love how everyother school like IKMs says that they are one of the best in the country

God this college talk makes me stress; only one more year :ermm:

I didn't even care about college shit until like 2nd semester Junior year. But I was in the college counseling office, and some 7th grader's mom called to speak with the counselor, and I was like "wtf? omglolbbqCHOCOLATE?!?!"

I need to stop being so egotistic on internet forums (even if I didn't do it in this one). That's my new years resolution. Can't wait to tell my parents

[DoTheFandango]

Cool, LB and Squeez knew what I was talking about B)

Paul, am I really an asshole? I, truthfully, don't want to be a belligerent asshole for no reason. I figure, now is the perfect time to start over with life. I can stop being a dick and then by the time a college picks me up, I'll be clean and clean minded.

In the beginning of November, I quit all drugs. Not in some straightedge faggot manner, but it an effort to clear my mind of jumble for a little bit. I've honestly never been happier with my life. I found a whole new set of friends to talk to, I've found new things to write about, and I've done more with my life in two months than I did for the other ten of the year combined. And it's not like I ditched the friends that do drugs, they ditched me more than vise versa. I have no objections to anyone else doing anything, and I'm not their conscience telling them what's right or wrong, I'm just there to give them a ride if they need it, or give them a slap in the face if they pass out.

This, in the long scheme of things, is a small roadbump, and I assure you that I will be happy where-ever I go.

(PS: When I say all drugs, I exclude LSD, though I don't do it that much anymore, and booze)

If I hadn't watched Little Miss Sunshine last night I wouldn't have gotten that joke.


such a good movie :wub:

I was rolling during the last scene, where the family dances as incrediably white as possible. Seriously, one of the funniest scenes in a movie ever.

Dear IKM,

At least I got the lead out and sent my application out early while still doing 10 other applications. What the fuck took you so long? Too busy jerking off to Proust?

For the most part, it doesn't really matter where you go to school, so just go to somewhere that you will really enjoy.

As for magnet schools, I had a bunch of SS friends way back who went to magnet school and they were pretty cool and fun guys. Even met one of them in real life when he visited Toronto. They weren't any less socially adjusted at all, just really geeky but then I am too and I went to normal public school...

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.

1) My older cousin (who took me under her wing when I dropped out of college) is the Speech Pathologist at Jack Jackter... From everything she's told me about the board of ed there... I hate that town.

2) I do not know what Willi-rico is, this cannot be a town, and if it is, it must be very very very small, or an abriged name of some town.

3) I have been to Mohegan for new years, it is a lot of fun, but very crowded!Although, youu have to admit that it'd be incredibly strange for both parties to have a guy you hardly know, let alone know online, to spend new years with your good friends and your wife.

4) I have plans for new years already and I tend to spend it with my children, who will probably fall asleep in our laps before the ball even drops (and if they don't, oh it's going to be a fun day for my wife and I on New Years day... wooo! Cranky city! :/ ).

5) I appreciate your offer, I hope to get to know you better in TW, you seem like a warm hearted fellow.

6) I agree, Mohegan Sun is much classier and extravagent than Foxwoods. I suppose I was going for an allusion-esque joke to see who knew about that fucking stupid song that plays over and over again on all Northeast radio/tv stations. No offense to Foxwoods though, it is still the biggest casino in the world, and an expansion is coming up soon for that that stupid place.


Edit: I just said no offense, yet I mocked it anyway... fuk. I'm glad you're feeling better DTF, we can all tell this because you're acting like an asshole again, yay! Good luck with everything, you have your whole life ahead of you.

and to sum up my thoughts on some other posts

-i went to a magnet school and consider myself pretty socially adept... but hey, different state, different results. not sure if you were saying "magnet = no social skills", face, but i'm tossing it out there.

-DTF, i heavily, heavily recommend going to a laid back school your first year. one, they're generally cheaper, two, you can get the partying out of your system and then buck up for Yale or whatever.

trust me. i took the low dive and went to LSUS. although it IS part of the LSU system, it's not LSU. at the beginning of the year i'd be working as a busboy at a restaraunt and my friends who go to Baylor, Tulane, LSU, etc... it was always awkward, like "yeah, i'm a busboy at a community college.. how's your free ride?" The worst part though is, (not being egotistic here), people generally have me pegged as a "smart" dude (decathlon, debate, the only middle schooler to have literary works submitted to, and then win first in, high school art competitions), and so they'll be like "So you stayed home, huh? You must be at Centenary (which is a very expensive, very prestigious college in my town), and then I have to be like "nope... LSUS." and cue the condecending stares.

but more than half are failing out 'cause they discovered drinking during freshman year, which is generally the hardest. the dude from baylor lost all his scholarhips, the dude at georgia tech is now going to louisiana tech (which is like the out-of-toen version of my college), the guy from tulane is taking a year off, the girl at UT got knocked up at a party and is coming home.

it's only been one semester.

meanwhile, i've been keeping pace with their partying - if not more - and i'm doing fine - actually, better than high school. my scholarship possibilities to the real LSU have literally doubled. i went from the possibility of a student loan to a near-free ride.

Haha, you haven't been to Yale? Boy oh boy, are you in for a surprise! Come up to CT some time and I'll show you around in a non-gay, totally hetero way. I know New Haven like the back of my hand, and I'd be glad to show you where all the cool kids hang out.

And by cool I mean completely lame, of course.

I have that same evaluation with movies.

There are movies that I acknowledge as being "good," but that I don't personally like.

Then there are movies like Starship Troopers and Grandma's Boy, which I know are completely lacking any artistic talent, yet I love them.

Dear DTF,

I only sent in my first application last week. Procrastination is like masturbation: it's fun until you realize you're just fucking yourself. I don't know how that responds to your question, but to stop beating around the bush: I've never even visited Yale. The only reason that I'm applying is that I'm being forced to (even though I'd probably like the school). From one of my perspectives, though, I'd prefer going to one of my safety schools and (hopefully) being at the top of the class than struggling to be in the bottom third of Yale's class, as I might want to go to graduate school.

In summary, cocks.

OH SEVEN ROCKS

I had to read it, and I just seriously could not pay attention to it. I could read like a page at a time before I completely spaced out. I'm not saying Moby Dick is bad, and I'm not saying that the ability to read Moby Dick doesn't translate to some job or another, but I'm never going to be able to sit down and read really wordy stuff that I have no interest in every day of my life, and I don't think I'm going to need to.

yeah, w.h. auden had a 4-point system for literature:

-i can tell it's good, and i like it
-i can tell it's good, but i don't like it
-i can tell it's bad, and i like it
-i can tell it's bad, but i don't like it

for me, moby dick is the second one, as well. books like, say, a million little pieces.. it's the third option.

Dear DTF,

At least I wasn't rejected by Yale (yet). I will be in April, but thats besides the point.
