| Something about fake college life... |
| College - Sorry to have to break this to you Okay, so apparently I�m in college. Basically. My college walks like a college, talks like a college, and the dorms smell like a college. Except most of the kids that go there are yet to hit puberty. Whatever, beggars can�t be choosers. Here�s the truth of college. In all, those who say it was the best time of their life were far to drunk or high to remember it. Hey good for them, they�re not in my situation, which is kind of funny when you think about it. This isn�t a normal college; there are complete failures in pretty much every regard of life, the really rich kids that don�t give a fuck, a combination, and then the really smart kids. So basically it�s like any other college. For all you dumbfucks in high school who are in AP psychology and honors engineering and physics that are bitching on how hard coloring with crayons is and how insanely hard it is to build a fucking bridge out of toothpicks, I have news for you. College is not easy, and unless you get into a damn fine college and take everything pass fail it�s not fun. Some girl at my school put it best when she said �There are four aspects of college: Eating, sleeping, working and socializing. To do any of them semi-decently, you only can choose 2� It�s so true. The majority of your time will be eaten up by work. Well, ok that�s not true. If you are just going to college to say you went to college, it doesn�t really matter what you get. For everyone else who wants to go on to graduate school, or like me, transfer to an ivy �we-are-better-than-thou� school, you better damn well do well. Oh and I love the argument of �Once you get to college it�s all good and there�s no more pressure� This is the worst logic since communism. Once you get into college you, or someone you know is going to pay an insane amount for you to go. Unless you�re going for free, which happens once in a blue moon and usually has a catch. So basically you no longer can dick around and say �I�m going for free, who gives a fuck?� Don�t get your knickers in a knot though, there are some perks. First, you don�t have to explain to your parents that you didn�t want to go to class, you can just not show up a few times. Classes start later, which is good but counter balanced with you staying up later frantically doing homework. You�re the hell away from your parents, siblings and everyone you know, and if you go to college but stay at home I honestly feel bad for you. The only way to do college is to do your work with friends. Basically, get a really tight crew, and do everything with them. Go to parties with them, study with them, sleep with them. Everything. If you stay by yourself you run the risk of becoming apathetic towards everything and hating everyone. A great example is a friend of mine who got into UC Berkley, came here and now is not doing so hot because she missed a goof quarter of her classes by watching movies instead and sleeping though all of her math/science classes. Don�t let this happen to you. College can be fun, but if its to much fun, there�s a distinct problem because if that�s the case you�re either on academic probation, taking all 100 level classes, or have gone insane and enjoy doing work. Don�t let this happen to you. Recap time biotch: ~Do everything in groups during college ~Party hard Friday, recooporate Saturday, work your ass off Sunday ~God�s speed to anyone who takes all 9 am classes ~�Liquor before beer drink till yer queah, beer before liquor never get sickah� -Murph ~Work isn�t fun, it�s a necessary evil. Deal with it. ~If you fall behind in anything do whatever it takes to catch up or your fucked. ~Do not under ANY circumstance board at home. Just don�t do it. |
