Emergency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you retarded or just another lazy ass punk kid? I guess both. I worked full time and still went to school, paid my own way, and managed to do my assignments. The fact that punks want someone to make it all easy for them, so they have enough time for texting and facebook is just a sad reminder of how this country sinks lower generation by generation. "Mommy and daddy take care of me" just turns into "Government take care of me"

Its going to be a really weak United States in another 20-30 years. 25th in science out of 30 developed nations, 21st in math, but #1 in confidence. Thats America's children today, all confidence and bluster, but nothing to back it up with.

so lets take a typical scenario

go to class from say 8 am to 4 or 5pm MWF .......what full time jobs aside from oil rigs and the like allow one to work T/TH Saturday and sunday? sales?

waiting tables or pizza delivering it would be pretty hard to come up with 1400+ gas and food.

im just curious.

I never hated my parents, in fact they were fantastic. But I could make it on my own and not put the financial burden on them that they didn't need. Coming from a pretty poor home, maybe it instilled hard work to do better instead of riding the easy train.

maybe if you wanted to help your parents financially you should have stayed at home and paid THEM rent instead of someone else.


just a thought since it doesnt cost them any extra money for you to stay in their house......after all they still live there whether you do or not.

pay for your food and maybe help with electricity and fuggidaboutit

lemee see, thats 24 hours of class isn't it? Should be able to hit 120 credit credit hours in 5 semesters that way. Oh wait, i'm leaving out time for lunch, so its only 7x3 for 21 hours a semester, so 6 semesters or 3 years. And I guess you expect that there aren't any jobs on night shifts either? please, give me a break. You can easily work 40 hour jobs, hit 12 credits a semester and 6 over summer for your 30 credits a year.

you misunderstood.


class one 8:30-9:45
class two 10-11:15
class three 11:30-12:45
class four 1-2:15
class five 2:30-3:45

then you gotta drive home ( in my case i lived in colorado with the light rail thank God it only took about 35 minutes )

thats 15 credit hours - 8 semesters

all of that is assuming you get perfect scheduling and have no layovers and you dont eat anything or have any breaks whatsoever

night shifts? so race home and work from 5pm to 1am? then wake up at 6:30 or 7 for school the next day? lol no thanks.

sorry man all of that sounds really inconvenient and definitely not optimal for college and getting good grades. its possible but its definitely not optimal.

So your classes were 1.25 hrs x 3 to get 3 credits? And if you go to school year round as I said, you only need 12 credits during the normal school year. Also that above is 830-345, so you almost clipped an hour off of 8-4 at that point. I guess math isn't really a strong point for you?

Yes, its easier when you can be lazy, and not provide for yourself as an adult.

Yes, how terribly inconvenient to be self sufficient and an adult. As I said before, its going to be a sorry ass USA in the next 20-30 years with that sort of attitude so common.

I guess math isn't really a strong point for you? last i checked no one knows the teleportation move lol? the class ENDS at 3:45.....walk to your car 4pm....drive home 30 or 40 minutes like stated above.....and you are walking in the door around 4 30 almost 5...... good points though i guess?





Yes, its easier when you can be lazy, and not provide for yourself as an adult. yes very lazy that i want more than 5 hours of sleep and maybe time to breath for a second each day lol? much less have a girlfriend or a gym membership.

i just want to make this my last point :

yes, its possible to work your ass off to the bone from 18-22 and get through school with no ones help.

but why would you want to? time is irreplaceable and invaluable. you can always make more money but you can't replace lost memories or relationships.

fine you are awesome and the king of the world cause you got through college solo.

i'd rather take my time getting into the rat race that i'm going to be in the next 30 years.

thats just my way. yall can do whatever you want

I live in my parents, but I provide everything for myself besides rent , that said I live in a one parent household school 12+ credits and work 40+ hrs hit the gym 2x a day, and still have some time left over for cookin my 6 meals. and other minor things. I understand having to work your ass off for every sock u got I had to do it my entire life since my family was right on money being refugees.

I'm starting to like this thread alot, its amazing how long a day is and like arnold said, if u sleep 8+ hrs, u only need 6 so sleep faster lol so true

I may be exaggerating things a bit, but I see it as a big piece of the slow decline of a America, that lack of personal responsibility. The whole "somebody owes me something" mentality, people not acting in a self reliant way but expecting to at the same time have full say over all of their actions. When you go to a hotel with a no pets policy, if you bring pets, they kick you out. If you rent an apartment and do damage to the place, you lose your security deposit.

My oldest daughter is 14, and she's fully under the expectation that when she graduates high school her choices are the military, find a job and move out, find a job (so she can contribute to the household expenses) and work out student loans + grants + scholarships to pay her way through college. Is it because of a lack of income here? No, me + my wife fall together into somewhere between top 5-10% incomewise nationally (courtesy of the IRS telling me that each year). Including property taxes, I pay over $20,000 a year in taxes, which is depressing. But at the same time, rather than viewing it as being shoved out into the rat race, she sees it as the start of her adult life, making her own choices and having freedom to do what she wants how she wants.
