good will hunting a la belin
TheBelin: But I can think of cheaper ways to entertain myself, where I don't have to wait for 30 other people to play catch-up.
TheBelin: Hell, I even get paid to program here, and I enjoy programming immensely.
TheBelin: If I had gone to school for it, then i would be paying them to entertain me while I learn how to program. If you are interested in something, you can learn it without college. You will find it entertaining.
TheBelin: So, in your circumstance.... You are going to college, your first year will be taken with all sorts of "requirements"
TheBelin: you will be doing things that they require, so that your over-all debt increases. You may get a few classes that you like. If so, good job. You will know no-one at the beginning of the year, and will do great on your school work. Homework will get done, and you'll have all sorts of extra time.
TheBelin: Then you will meet people.
TheBelin: They are far more entertaining than your homework.... and your homework will begin to suffer, after all, you are in college to keep yourself entertained.
TheBelin: Then, second year... based on your first semester grades, you'll have passed your classes, unless you meet some REALLY interesting people. The second year has more interesting classes, since you've gotten a few requirements out of the way. You'll still know the same people though, and there wil be more of them this year. It gets problematic maintaining your social lifestyle with the classload, so something suffers. That's college when your only there to entertain yourself.
TheBelin: I hope you have fun, because that IS the whole point isn't it?
