I start college in September. The British system works quite differently to the American, I think. Anyone can go to college here.

It's just a year to **** about before I go to University, tbh.

Bane of your existence

Only whites can go in America.

And Asian exchange students.

facepalm

I start in August. Good luck to you.

Um too reasons why you will fail in college :

1) Your inability to start a sentence with a capital letter.

2) You started a sentence with because.


What are you going to major in ?

The Unfan

1. I capitalized "I'm."
2. I started the sentence with "I'm" and not with "because."
3. Two, not too.

I'll be majoring in business administration.

That is some stupid **** to say. You know that its EASIER to get in if your NOT a middle class white American or Asian (public schooling anyhow).

College is not a waste of money and by no means is it the most important thing in life. Getting a good education IS important, but you can goto college make good greats and learn nothing. A good argument can be viewed here TED | Talks | Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? (video) as to how the current education system can lead to the destruction of creativity.

I would suggest going to college only if you are willing to learn. Not just academically, but socially and creatively. I goto college and have learned as much outside of the classroom as I have in the classroom, it is all about how you take it.

QUIT BRAGGING ABOUT GRADES. First of all what kind of validity is saying "i scored the top 99th percentile". Its about as valid as me telling you "I slept with Jessica Simpson last night and gave her a facial." Besides that grades are only a way to measure someones ability to take that specific test, which is geared to a certain way of thinking. My friend who I consider to be as smart if not smarter than me, in the same major, has a lower GPA by an entire point. Is he dumber than me? Hell no, I just perform better in certain areas based on what I am being asked to do. Grades can only be used to assist people in assessing intelligence levels, not determine them.

Whenever I hear or read a statement like that I feel like the person should be congratulated for pointing out the blinking obvious like they thought it made them ****ing Socrates. The mark that somebody gets in a test mainly measures how well suited they were for performing that test? REALLY?? How about we extend it to a full universal theory of the bloody obvious which can applied to all tasks in which people participate.

How well somebody performs a particular task can give an indication of how good they are at performing that kind of task.

Christ, I should have been a philosopher.
