words of Paul Arden

DON'T GO TO UNIVERSITY
___________

Going to university usually means, 'I don't know what to do with my life, so I'll go to university.'

A gap year confirms this.

They are delaying tactics.

Some people are lucky enough to know what they want to do early in life.

The majority have great difficulty in putting their assets to useful purpose.

I feel sorry

OMG lol
great quote

'Good marks will not secure you an interesting life.
Your imagination will.'

i agree ^^ wiv that
BUT

many people who bottomed out at school have gone on to be rich and successful have gone on to be society drop outs, addicts, alcoholics, benefit scroungers, hookers, underage parents, in debt, depressed, suicide stats.. these r jus the people ive met in my short, crazy life.. an i wear some of those labels myself. i kno u kno this shit anyway. i left school at 15 an i regret it every day. no amount of imagination is gettin me a job.. except mayb the one i've got, lol. ok, so im ramblin.. but, omg i fink school is so important, an ok, pass marks mite not secure u an interestin life, but no marks aint securin u SHIT

yeah man. i totally agree with everything u said. like... grades DO mean something these days. but its reassuring and nice to know that for the people who dont particularly have grades or schooling can go on to make something of themselves, thats a great sign of hope. some people choose to leave school, the ones who have it hard up... like some of the homeless kids i met... can STILL achieve something. gives me hope. and makes me think (for once) that the world can sometimes be a nice place. obviously, it seems harder for people without grades, and that is the SOLE reason i'm still at uni. oh and the partying and the drugs and the booze and the sexy bums everywhere and tax dodging and the lack of responsibility and being able to wake at 4pm and *clings to youth* and....yea u get the point lol

Saw your post on livejournalUK or whatever it's called and thought I'd take a gamble and randomly friend you - fed up of thinking too long and hard about who I friend.

Add me back if you get the urge...
