Last topic before I leave out.....
What are some things that you have realized since you have been back home??
Here's my list:
-I am no longer a broke college student, I am a broke adult who needs a job ASAP! I get no sympathy anymore...lol
-Mommy and Daddy aren't lending me anymore money :sad:
-All my high school friends are ghetto, and 85% of them have kids
-My neighborhood gets ghettoer by the day
-Its cost too much to party in Chicago
-I can' get into any GOOD clubs w/o a fake id....
-I really don't fit in anymore, probably never did... :x
To be continued...
A VERY tryin' morning and I have a bad headache so excuse all my salt!
...wait till you graduate?????
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Wait until you get MARRIED
Wait until you have a BAD **** FRESHMAN
Oh, just you wait.... :-D
Here are some post Freshman year college REALIZATIONS on the real! Since my college freshman son done brought his backside home, I have realized the following:
* Ya is a BROKE...and I do mean seriously broke person who better hold on to these TWO jobs that we got you!
* Mom and Dad aint' lending you do-do. You NEVER pay back...so, here(throws money across the room) just take it and shut the "F" up!
* ALL yo high school friends and SOME of your college friends are ghetto.
* Keep sneakin these skanks in my house and you gonna be a daddy come Valentine's Day''06...
* Damn...do you EVER read a book???? WHEN was the last time you read a book? ( I realize that he don't read)
* We actually cant' wait for you to take your lazy **** back to school
* Yes, you do need to get yo **** up and go to the grocery store since you have eaten EVERYTHING in the fridge, on the shelves...
* Yes, the white neighbors (all we got) do think you were loud last night...It was 3:00am and the bass on the Navigator this morning was all the way up to 10...
* Yes, I realize that Today, I am a very angry mom...very! Son hit me with some 100% "BS" this morning. I went off and been mad every since.
I mo pray, take my power nap and then get me a nice glass of wine!
-No matter how much you think you have grown as an adult, your family will never hesitate to tell you otherwise
-Unless a guy has already finished college, is working to go to college, or already has a "real" job, maybe I don't have any business talking to him
-I have outgrown all of my "friends" from high school that are not in college
-You will forever be a puppet to your parents as long as they give you money
-I have developed a somewhat "bourgeouis" attitude (well, that's a lie, it's just become even more outward since I've been in school)
-I can't go to a club where you can get in with a white tee on anymore
- I can't deal with a certain "type" of people anymore, or stand to be around a large group of them
-I need to become financially independent
-I can no longer live at home during the summers, therefore I need my own apt. in New Orleans
-Aint nobody gonna take care of me anymore....so I gotta do it myself. That's 1/2 of the reason why school is in the backseat now.... more like in the trunk!
-The finest women will NOT become less materialistic...it only gets worse as the get older.
-Getting **** with a group of 4 or 5 trustable friends is one of the great things in life.
-I'm more conservative with my money. I almost let a couple thousand dollars just sit in the bank last year! Hopefully, that same $ will be all grown up in 5 years.
-I've learn to respect women even more than I did before.
-The thought of getting married/having children doesn't seem so far far away anymore.....
-After watching a few of my friends throw money down the drain, I realized that living in an apartment is NOT FOR ME. I'd rather pay a 35-year mortgage and have some property in my name. If I gotta live with mom/pops until I'm 24-25, it's OK.
-The scary reality that I may not go back to school has taught me that I MUST make life work in my favor as far as my finances/career future goes. Working in TV isn't all that bad, and if you stay at it long enough, you can make a really decent living.
I realized....
-It doesnt matter that I'm legal age, age isnt what makes you an adult. My mother wont consider me an adult until I get a job, and I'm not living under her roof (or using her money).
- I really am a broke college student....
- I have no friends back at home....after a few years in college, you lose track of all your friends from highschool or you change/they change, and it just isnt the same anymore.
- You will probably run into at least one psycho (on or off campus) by the time you graduate
:lol:
I have realized that even though I can't see it I am growing mentally everyday. I swear I have outgrown my "best friend" from home, and I might just cut her **** off.
- Its really NOTHING to do during the week days
- You actually will be ready to go BACK to school. I know I will be as soon as the Taste Of Chicago is over
- All of your friends who didnt go to college still act the same way...no growth in them at all
- I miss being able to walk in and out the house w/o saying " Mom I'm going to the store."
freaking **** man
COSIGN COSIGN COSIGN!!! Man im ready for school already and i only been here about a month! CHICAGO is kinda boring during the weekday espically now since everybody stil in school.
As others have said...
I realized that the word "friend" is very commonly and very loosely used. The people I considered my friends before.. well.. lets just say that I'd have a hard time vouching/risking my life for theirs...
I needed God more than I thought I did.. and it never hurts to have good Christian friends to reinforce his presence...
I am not superman... I swear.. I was in like 40 clubs and organizations, and I was a FINANCIAL & ACTIVE member... in all of them...
High School was SO trivial... nuff said.. I was MADE for college life..
Trust no one completely. My business is MY business... it makes no sense to give someone the **** that they **** you in the back with...
The funniest thing I have done thus far, was tell God my plans... and I promptly watched my plans go out the window...
Never burn bridges... I learned this the hard way... people are vindictive...
trust me... theres more... these past two years have been hell... (I know I'm giving a long "freshman" realization, but since I was only a frosh for one collegiate semester, I see no point in excluding meaningful lessons I learned along the way...)
the people in your hood are never gonna change...
mom and dad ain't gonna hold your hand anymore...
i appreciate my parents more when i left for school... hell i am 85 miles away and i visit my parents more than my two sisters who are on the other side of Charlotte
the younger kids actually look up to you... we the future... we can't do many things we used to do...
this is just a preview of what life will be AFTER college... the bills are coming, just wait till you get a house
