lemme say the TRUE cons of college Posted on 09-26-2004

Afro-American
Washington, DC
HAHAHAHA! Shoya, u killin me dawg! And u do not have chickin pox on your face. Shut up! You are beautiful . U are on point with it sistah. I don't know about the natural hair thing tho. Shoot, i find that sometimes wearin my hair natural is more upkeep than when i get it pressed. Naps are no joke dawg :lol: Let's see if i can think of some more... :arrow: contrary to what peeps may say...more than likely, you WILL NOT find your husband in college. Bump that fairytale ish :arrow: maybe in highschool being a "teacher's pet" was uncool. But in college...it just might be the difference between an A & B. Betta suck up that pride and kiss some tail! :arrow: cafe food will do one of two things to ya A)turn ya into a blimp from eating that ish or B)turn ya into a skeleton for not eating that ish. Either way...u lose :lol: :arrow: "Can i come over & kick it?" can be rightfully translated to "can i come over & cut?". Be ye not deceived ladies...be ye not deceived. :arrow: Spades can almost be equivalant to an olympic sport. Peeps will stay up all hours of the nite for that ish...it's a trip. :arrow: A male "friend" is liable to hit on u at any given moment. Why? BECUZ U HAVE NO MALE FRIENDS! Male friends are just guys who either tried, got rejected, and opted for the "friend" route or...they just haven't had a chance to get at that yet. :arrow: peeps will change on u in the blink of an eye. That girl that sat next to u freshman year, shoot...she could be pregnant this semester. That dude that u used to talk to, dang...he could have an STD. Hell, half of the peeps u knew when u first got to school...come senior year (hey, even soph. year)...they'll be ghost :?

~they still don't treat you like adults...in some cases, you wish momma was around to tell the woman in financial aid off... ~they treat you like a criminal...like you are going to steal something out the library...s it....they owe me a book for the 24000 dollars they get each year... ~You might find "The One"...but please believe...he ain't always what you expected...but that boy drives you wild ~When people say...don't go to college with a boyfriend...9 chances out of 10...thats going to be the realest thing you've ever heard ~its not always true that your male friends will try to get at you...sometimes it is...but when they don't try to get at you...you better believe that you are their little sister and they will kick a **** **** for you ~when yo momma say "o.k. i ain't gone call you no more this week," its a good chance that she'll be doing a "i ain't gone call you no more this week" follow up sometime tomorrow ~just because they show you all the nice dorms during your visit...doesn't mean you'll be staying in one...its a good chance that your residence will be next door to the projects *cough*cough*beckwith*cough*...damn...i must be coming down with something ~Never...I mean Never...give a **** to much attention because you never know if its really wanted and he will smile in yo face and clown you with his boys (and in my case...one girl)

[color=green}:arrow: None of the computer labs ever work when you really need them. :evil: :arrow: Professor office hours are just facades, and it is all a game of cat and mouse or better yet hide-and-seek. :arrow: The football team always knows how to fucc up a good party. Why they alway gotta fight when the good songs come on? :evil: :arrow: Just because you study desn't mean you'll get an A, because the professor will always throw something in there to confuse the hell outta you. I know some of the stuff that be on my tests I have never seen a day in my life. Just because you don't study doesn't mean you'll fail :? . :arrow: Anything that has a grek organization's name on it will be a success, even if you cleaning up the campus. This is especially true here if it has Alpha Phi Alpha on the flyer. :arrow: When the wrong person approaches you your name will suddenly become Ashley (or maybe thas just me). :arrow: The people you want to remember your name will always forget, and those you want o forget it will always remember :x . :arrow: College bookstores are ripoffs. :arrow: Your social life will become non-existant if you move far away from home. I have never spent so much titme in my room in my life. D@mn I'm bored. :arrow: You will ever want a job anytime in your life more than you do now.

All so true, especially about the cafe food and the bookstore. I swear, it seems like if a Spelman alum has written ANYTHING, they will make you buy it! :x

I am definetly feeling this post!! As a SENIOR at UMES *University of Maryland Eastern Shore, I have some things to say!!! :arrow: One: Thugs don't go to college... :arrow: Two: Food can be crap, so you have know how to make "quick meals which consist of HotPockets and Cup-o-noodles :arrow: Three: No matter how you don't like/agree with your family, you are going to miss them at some point and time :arrow: Four.. Choose your friends wisely. Don't tell everyone your business. Keep some things to yourself that you don't want the whole yard to know about :arrow: Five: College is a struggle. Sometimes you may want to quit, but just know that things will be better once you get that degree :arrow: Six: Like previously stated, graduating in 4.5 or 5 years is considered a major effort. Sometimes you have to stay an extra semester/year. Just look at it as more preparation for the world out there. It also gives you an opportunity to know more about human nature :arrow: Seven: Finally, be wary of that man with the rims/banging car. More than likely his mother bought him that car, and he bought no books this semster!!!! Peace n Stay Cool!! UMES SENIOR #1!!!!

awww...eyez just kiddin . It's possible yo. I've seen it...like...twice. hee hee :lol: . Okay, i'll stop. But yeah, it is possible to find love in college and big ups to the women that have found it. You're blessed, know it and appreciate it. Keep ya head up Mila & quannicab. Good things come to those who wait for it. Patience is virtue :wink: And oh yeah, to answer some of your questions quannicab... :arrow: I do think that college is a definate place to "find yourself". There are peeps from all over, so many things to get involved in, so many experiences thrown at u, so many different courses to take...just a plethora (gee i love that word...pretty ain't it? ) of things to help u find your niche. But it's up to the individual to take advantage of that. I know that i am definately falling into my destiny and learning new revelations about myself daily. :arrow: And don't stress yourself over the hubbie thing boo. Whether it's in or out of college, your prince will find YOU, and when he does, you'll see that it was worth the wait. :arrow: There are real peeps in college. Everyone isn't fake. U just gotta surround yourself with like-minded folks. :arrow: A guy who wants to kick it and not cut? Yeah...i heard that they exist...i'll have to get back to u on that one tho :lol: :arrow: and why do black people make life so hard? Becuz life IS hard. Wasn't promised to be easy for anyone. Nope, not even for Blacks. Sometimes it seems like we make it harder for each other. But Lord knows that's a mentality that we've been shackled in from years of oppression. When will we ever free ourselves :?: ...who knows :?:

You might find hubby in college but you, in some cases, have to lack any other activities other than school...schoolwork...ole boy...schoolwork...ole boy...and if you get a job....its schoolwork...work...then ole boy...and in the end somebody is going to be don wasted money on a room because one of you will always be in the others room...if you want a real relationship in college...you have to be ready...and sure that thats exactly what you want...i wouldn't suggest gettng involved as a freshman because you need time to see the sites....
