and i don't know about EVERYTHING on homiez list, but the whole "know your role thing", don't trip. It's just a way of tryna make u earn your respect, but I say "if u give it, u get it". The whole "process" biz is sumthin u will hear alot, but if you aren't in an org. then who gives a crap? Even tho this is college, you'll find alot of the same things. College students are nothin but old highschool students. Not much changes. U still have clicks and u still have identifiable groups. Except here, it isn't necessarily the jocks, geeks, preppies, and loners. It's the "motha Africa power to the movement poets", "the always suited future politicians of America runnin powerhall (located in blackburn)", "the carribbean cats always playin soccer near the flagpole on the yard", "the video hoe lookalike who's starvin for attention", "the collegiate ****", "the fashion divas rollin with the hottest labels but not a penny to they're name", and the most entertaining..."the former highschool loser who comes to HU & turns into a hoe becuz of the ratio".. Not everyone falls into a category. Most don't. But those that do, are easily identifiable.

I wish somebody would have told me that as a freshman at Howard I would have to go through a process. They woulda got their feelings hurt. Thats the problem with Howard, everything you do gotta be a damn process. I feel like my **** is getting hazed everytime i gotta stand in line for a validation sticker or go to the A building about something. If you are itching for a process, join an organization. And... yall leave DJ Bout it alone! He was the only one playing that real undergound A-town Sh*t up in DC and he not even from the South ( i dont think). he aight with me. The only thing thats really "out" at Howard IMHO is being hella thirsty. **** that claim they from this or that city when they really from the burbs. Girls that wanna be Americas Next Top model walkin up the hill from the Quad in stillettos.. **** that KNOW they aint hard talkin about they thugs, or worse, they that crips. why do we supposedly have HU gang bangers? GANG MEMBERS DONT GO TO COLLEGE! alright, im stepping off my soap box. Wait, one more thing! Remember when, and i think it was this year or the year before, when it was supposed to be a big **** fight between drew and carver on the yard? And when they both met up on the yard what happened? **** started playing music and dancin and Sh*t. All im sayin is keep it real, if you hard then u hard, if you scared say u scared, and if you wanna be the number one hot girl then why the hell are you at Howard? I thought folks came to college to get an education. People is too caught up in tryin to have this image when they get up here that they not focused and end up flunkin the f**k out. I know college is the time that you "find yourself" but i think **** is doing a little to much searchin and just need to embrace whoever they already are without trying to be someone they not.
I AM SORRY BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO COME FOR YOU ON THAT ONE....I WAS IN THE BIG CARVER AND DREW HALL FIGHT. WE HAD ALREADY FAUGHT INFRONT OF CARVER AND THE COPS CAME... THEN THE DREW HALL BOYS SAID MEET US ON THE YARD AND WE GOT OUR BATS AND WAS READY TO THROW DOWN. WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY WAS THE **** ONES TALKING ABOUT SQUASH IT AND WE WAS LIKE NAW AND THEY KEPT BEGGING TO STOP FIGHTIN SO WE WAS LIKE ITS WHATEVER BECAUSE WE ALREADY PUNKED THEM IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. SO IF YOU GOING TO TELL IT TELL IT RIGHT.

We get bookbags? But the dorm fights do seem silly. I understand people not wanting to look soft and what not, but y'all had bats and was ready to roll. I just think that's a lil silly, especially since it's all the same school and y'all could possibly be in the same dorms together next year.
