The Whining and Bitching Thread

[False Joe]

Dunno how it is in America but I find uni better because you don't really feel judged.
Everyones abit of a scruffy bastard, and you can generally have a conversation with anyone.

 

[Vimana]

I don't even plan on going to uni in the states.

@Joe: Exactly. It's the same way here, given that the school is big enough not to be preppy and cliquish. Cliques are a bitch in high school.

[zabu of nΩd]

A clique is how a lot of (or most) teenagers organise themselves socially in middle/high school. It's a group of people you hang out with virtually all the time, and which is generally very unaccepting of people outside the clique. Kids in grade school are generally just very closed-minded when it comes to meeting or talking to others their age.

FUCK NEW ENGLAND. Snow gtfo.

.
This isn't even snow, it's just sludge raining down from the sky. Fuck this.

I'm not really complaining, but I'm really glad I'm planning on taking a year off after graduation, because I am NOT in the right mindset to be going to college. I've been apathetic all through the process (I didn't do much research on any of the colleges, just picked some good ones I had a decent shot at in places I liked without having any idea what those schools were good at - the fact that I've been admitted to an excellent school with a notable department in the field in which I expect to want to study is pure coincidence), and now apathy is setting in about schoolwork too. The "who cares, it's second semester" attitude is really easy and tempting, but it's not the attitude of someone who is going to succeed in college come September. I really need this year just to cool off and get myself excited and motivated about my future and about learning again.

I don't know if it's a great idea to skip a year between HS and college. If you thought you were apathetic now... just see what 12 months of doing nothing will do to you. Unless you are planning on doing something particular (work, volunteering), or if you have Jew levels of money to travel or fritter away, you'll be bored. Blowing off the 2nd semester of senior year, and then relaxing in the summer should adequately refresh someone for college. Besides, unlike HS you generally are going to be taking courses that interest you.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

And you have more free time and it's just better overall. Don't take a year off br0.

 

[MasterOLightning]

In addition, your friends will all be away, and you'll have to hang out with the stupid kids who go to JuCo.

 

[Vimana]

I'm taking a year off to focus on studying some languages.

 

[mutantllama]

my sister took off the first semester, and took just one class at a local college.

 

[Ross]

i have school tomorow and i can afford to skip again

gay

 

[MasterOLightning]

I don't get you people. I couldn't wait for college. If you don't have a blast, it's pretty much entirely your own fault.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I agree. I don't even "party" and I totally am in agreement.

 

[mutantllama]

Quit lying, we know you like to go out and fuck tons of hoes, get drunk until you pass out, and then wake up the next morning and do it all over again!

*edit*

I wish I could do that.
Well mostly the part about fucking.

and you dont.....why?

 

[cookiecutter]

WAIF I agree with V5 and MoL. College rules. You do not want to postpone it. Everyone gets a little bit of senioritis.

 

[seedofvengeance]

College is gay.
It all goes downhill from here, WAIF.
Suicide is my best suggestion. Go out on top, get a full page in the yearbook.
