In high school, I bascially took a similar approach -- I was focused more on working than caring about college and then in my senior year, I really goofed off. I ended up not being accepted anywhere (and frankly, I'm smart, so I was essentially a moron for ****ing around in high school) and ended up going to BCCC.
I ended up never looking back. I got into the 2+2 program at BCCC (transfers all credits to a certain instiution you sign an agreement with) and I then went to Temple. I got my bachelors degree and I still worked and had fun. I gave it my all and I glad I did.
Also, EARLY on in my senior year of college, I went out and got an internship. Not many of my peers did this. I signed on with a pretty respected firm in center city, and then EARLY on, I started looking for full time jobs.
Guys, I'm not the smartest person in the world. At all. In fact, I'd say I'm pretty street smart, but book smart is something I am just not, nor will ever be. But in showing a lot of companies some maturity, drive, and desire, I got a lot of offers BEFORE I graduated.
No complaints now -- I work for Pepsi and I am in my 3rd building and just got my 1st promotion. There is nothing wrong with working and taking time off, but I know I like making money and saving up to buy a house. Then, when I walk into the restaurants and mall stores in my area and see kids who I went to high school with, its a little more gratifying telling them what I do now for a living, especially if they were jerks in HS.
A lot of us are motivated by different things, but I quickly found out what motivated me and I've never looked back. Just my .02
I have Joey MacDonald on my fantasy team. Picked him up early in the season, within the first week....
I too took him but, is he hurt now? It takes Yahoo forever to update.

Well thanks for the advice. I just needed time off it was stupid I should of just not gone at all last semester. But thanks to insurance companies I have to go. If I don't go I get kicked off. Total ********. I too work and go to school it sucks but, I get through it. However, I am back in school this semester and I'm sticking with it.
i might go to bamboozle, but only if i can afford it. i figure they won't play too too long on those sets anyway.
i am, however, most definitely going to go to as many shows as possible when they do their headlining tour.
you realizing my avy is exciting, i don't know too many people outside of a few friends who even know who tguk are.
im trying to go, and tguk rule.
I said **** college all together andended up working. i make decent cash, but im trying to get into a tradeschool now because i LOVE working on cars. So thatswhat I plan to do.
i have every intention of going back to school part time to get my bachelors. i just wanted to start working full time, save up some money and move out of my parents house and do my own thing.

Wow, I didn't know they were doing a headline tour. I love tguk I just bought something to write home about and four minute mile on vinyl..can't wait to get them in the mail. Two of my favorite cds ever. The band I'm in now we're joking around about doing a tguk cover but, no idea what song! so many greats

Sonny are you going to Bambozzle to see the get up kids? I'm thinking about going up with my buddy.
I already have tickets for Sat and Sun. I've been to Bamboozle the past 3 years and had a great time each year. (I even went to Surf and Skate before Bamboozle when it was at Asbury Park)
I love college...except for the whole going to class aspect
I loved college when I was there. Class was def the worst part. The best were parties and all the crazy things we did at like 4am for no reason. Like riding Razor scooters in the hallway of our building until getting yelled at.
I much prefer your new avy too. I love Cannon and all, but if he came to my house without a shirt on, I don't think I'd be as excited as any of the females on the board. Plus, RANDY JONES LOOKS CRAZY!
I don't constantly go at you with the sex jokes. In fact, most of the stuff the other day was stuff other people said, and I laughed and added a bit. However, I'll lay off you a bit. My bad.

Agreed then.
I also prefer this avatar. I had to bust it out from last season, as I feel it is very fitting with the current situation on this team. For as ****** as he plays, Stevens refuses to bench Jones. He does look crazy though. I like to think that the reason he has the blanket up though, is because he's trying to whisper sweet nothings to Stevens.
