flunkin outta college. fcked up in the game

[clbenzlove]

U kno what tho?

look man, what encourages me in school is i think about what my life is gonna be if i dont finish, i aint tryin to be a factory 9-5 paycheck to paycheck, hooptie drivin, strugglin to put my kids on a basketball team or not goin on vacations with the wifey man, i dont wanna jus do it n life man. i wanna live good.

and all that money u put in is like throwing it in the garbage, u gotta study like ur life depends on it man, this aint no fuckin joke, fuck friends cuz in the future they gon be eatin while u was behind thinkin they was playin around or vice versa when u make it u gon be like "yo lets hit this party" then yo friends gon be like "man, i wish i could afford to go out" cuz think about it man in the real wrold u got:

Mortage/rent
Credit car bill
property tax
Car Insurance
telephone/cable/internet bill
cell phone bill
kids (if u have any)
electricity bill
water bill
life insurance.

Are u gonna be able to pay that with some bum ass job? even if its 5 dollas over minimuk wage those jobs are suitable for niggas that are between age 20-28.
after that u wanna eat my nigga. by the time im 28 i wanna make 40-45 an hour my nigga n be workin double time as a nursing practioner. think about the benjamins man, balance study/work n hoes.

BALANCE fuck the IC, it aint gon do shit for u its a waste of time if u cant balance ur work my nigga good luck in IT. BUT one more thing

Real shit. This was the same shit i was thinking when i went on warning. Fuck that I can never give up on school, because that lifetime of 9-5 aint the business...This right here is a great motivator

When u study u should use a method called: SQ3R. which stands for: Survey (skim everything get a preview) Question (what should i know?) Read (study ur fucking ass off) Review (skim thru it again) and the most important Recite (if u cant recite what u read read it again)

U wanna study everyday n im not sayin 4 hours a day or nothin im sayin 30 min each class or even a hour if u really want As because. 3 weeks prior to the exam u UNDERSTAND the material so 3 weeks prior all that stuff u studied will be like review.

what u wanna do is study everyday for each class and on a sunday u review everything from that week. and finals/ midterms will be easy, and youll automatically get AT LEAST a B. thats the least i swear to u my nigga. obv u dont have the intellect to jus pick things up, ur like me.....an idiot, so what does a idiot have to do, he gotta work harder then everybody. but u can still have fun after that, what u do after 8pm on a weekend? u go ham n party BUT u have to finish ur work first, dont get caught up my nigga, remember what u there for dont throw ur money away man, thats stupid.

Good luck homie, hope this helps

 

[7figz]

would another university accept a student that flunked out? That would be lowkey dope to have some new scenery. Cuz I mean community college aint too appealing but if a nigga got to...

I'm betting a lot of colleges are willing to take anybody who could pay the tuition.

 

[bayarea88]

shit I been there dude...so I can relate. And the crazy part is you realize that nobody really CARES that much about you finishing school or not. Ask your folks right now for 10,000 to cover school expenses and let me know what they say. Chances are they will look at you and laugh and walk the other way. More or less your folks just wanna brag about you being a 'college graduate' at some lame ass dinner to boost their own egos or on perception alone. of course, not everyone is like that but you catch my drift. You gotta stand on your own two feet. College is a hell of a start and if you can pull it off without putting yourself in financial suicide, I say go for it. Maybe just do it at a pace that works for you. Hell, You may wanna finish what you started on principal alone. I think one of the things people miss about college is that you were able to finish something that you started.

 

[Stew]

Man school aint for everybody but If you want that IT gig I think u may have too.

I pretty much used school to get out of the small ass hick town I went to High School in. I bullshitted in HS taking easy ass classes, got fairly decent grades cause thats all pops wanted to see. He didnt really care If I went to college or not but I figured that was my only way out of that town so I got accepted to Devry in Atlanta so nigga was happy as fuck. When I got up here, I was in for a rude awakening. By far the worst year of my life, started to party all the damn time and said fuck this school, partly cause it was some bs and partly cause it wasnt for me. I ended up getting a full time desk gig, got kicked out of my homies "dorm" so I had to move back home for a couple months. After that my homies and I got our own apt and I moved back up and its been all up hill from there. Just gotta keep grindin whether it be school or just work. Itll work out one way or another If you dont quit.

 

[blackdemo]

By the way with the idiot comment dont take it literal i was joking but in reality 70% of college studnets aint really pickin up shit n they gotta learn for themselves, the other 30% are people who jus naturally get it, and are able to to comprehend within a lecture, shittin on niggas with they 3.8s. But people who work hard n balance can easily get a 3.8 as well.

Ill be damned if Ching wong chang gets a better mark them me, fuck them east indians n chinese folk man they aint stuntin on me. thats another thing that motivates me, I wanna be better then all them foreign cats cuz they STAY stuntin on niggasmakin em look dumb as fuck im on par with all of em, we both got a brain n theres aint smarter then mine word up n ill have the same marks while still fuckin hoes, playin basketball, smokin weed, drinkin, its all about balance n i dont pick up sshit, im up in the library errday my nigga...errday

 

[bayarea88]

Don't allow yourself to "flunk out'....Say you got a family emeregency or you are homeless or something. Be a little creative...we are going thru some tough times dude so if people can't understand that you are struggling, fuck em...but save yourself the headaches by having something on your transcript that may not want down the road. Somebody will understand. Remember, you never know who may be willing to work with you until you actually ask. Just be nice and cool about it.

Cosign because some of these colleges are slashing classes and faculty members away to try to balance there bu/dget.

A teacher told me about that last semester. Cant lie it really does work for information you dont comprehend right away. Its most definitely helping me in my math courses

But again T/S you're not the only person.... I'm going for my B.S.CpE (bachelor in computer software engineering) I finished my AA this summer but those class was easy as hell for me. Didnt prepare for my major classes this fall term. Never really applied myself to math but I love technology and that is where the money is at.

I have a long road of math classes to pass but my passion to complete what i started is stronger than giving up now. AA dont mean shit these days so the Bachelor at this point is a must

 

[memphis2sacnicc]

and im sure this made you feel better about yourself, even tho ur lifes fucked up in its own way. who you foolin

hold ya head tho homie

Im gonna sleep better at night. :/

But know this, u are a self admitted failure. Keep hope alive my dude.

 

[-Vincenzo-]

Cosign. I went to school a lil late. Like 3 years I stuck around the city, working factory jobs. THAT SHIT WAS WOAT. Managers treating you like shit, being reminded that you could end up like the old bum ass niggas you working with if you dont change up, working from 4pm to 1:30am everyday, breaking your back unloading trucks all to get $1,000 and change a month.

Nigga that's all the motivation I needed. I got a 4.0 for 3 semesters strictly off of fears of having to work at Walmart again.

I'll let yall in on a tip. Don't you know how when the semester starts, the workload is light for the first 2 to 4 weeks.

Use that time to get ahead. Say you got the class book on the first day. While everyone is going to the back to the school parties, not doing shit, study one chapter a day. Like one chapter of Calculus on Monday, one chapter of Biology on Tuesday, one chapter of Macroeconomics on Wednesday.

Fast forward a month later. The class is only on chapter 7 and your ass is already on chapter 12. Professor be thinking you a genius and shit lol. Instead of cramming, crying to god that you pass the exam like most niggas, just go back to your notes from the beginning of the semester, review and finish playing Madden.

 

[Grahf]

It's all a grind mang. I'm studying comp sci and nobody likes weed out classes like Calculus 2 but a decent gpa in college is attainable if you have good time management. Plus fuckers like Khan Academy and PatrickJMT videos are a lifesaver. It's finals week where I'm at. Just put your distractions aside, shiet even deny pussy if you gots to. No amount of pussy is better than climbing one step closer on the ladder to success. Good luck everyone

 

[Mindstarter]

Yo can transfer to another school & finish ur degree.

I flunked out of college too, but it was during my freshman year and I had like about 15 credits...what I did was start all over again.

I transferred to a community college and got a start fresh with a new gpa and transferred credits, after 2yrs I transferred to another 4yr school which I'm currently at now, and my gpa is now 3.3 The issue for me was that I didn't like the first college I went to, it was too big, I didn't feel like my concerns about my education wasn't being heard, which in the end left me feeling unmotivated and lost, so I flunked out. After I went to a community college I realized that a small learning environment is what works best for me...and now I love going to school.

One thing I don't advise you to do is to start working a job and accumulate debt (buying a car, house etc.) , it will enslave you even further and keep you away from ur goals. I've been working on getting my BA now for like 6yrs...but it feels so good to know that Im almost done.

If u want to get into IT, u kinda need that degree unless u know someone in the field or ur willing to start from the bottom as a technician or something. Good luck with whatever u do.

 

[Black Boy King]

2012 bouta be the come up. wish a nigga woulda had the balls to tell my ppls college won't workin out alot sooner. sallright tho.. grind time

 

[Knives Amilli]

I know the feeling t/s. I aint fail out but I bombed all my 09 spring semester classes and got completely burned out on school. Had to reexamine everything I knew and made some critical life choices that so far I don't regret.

did u ever go back?

 

[Knives Amilli]

did u ever go back?

quick funny story:

I went back last spring semester to another school (changed my major and all) just to get away from my old school ("new environments might be good for me and all.."type of bs).

This school was one of those Devry type of shits where the classes are mostly afternoon, easy as fuck, and small. Good deal until realized that these niggas werent applicable for any state tuition reimbursement programs. And I'd be damned if I was gonna take out more loans (im already about 25k in the hole) to go to school. So now im transferring back to the same school I left in the 1st place, albeit in a completely different major that is more suitable for my lifestyle.
