Minnesota 10.18.16	wawawawa
StarlessCore 10.18.16	i knew you were a moron
AlexKzillion 10.18.16	Who needs econ when you can jam mars volta?
Minnesota 10.18.16	yea academically I'm about as bright as a pair of scissors still intelligent enough to tell you american football is shitty
Divaman 10.18.16	Not that easy, at least not in NY. My daughter looked into it, but ultimately decided it was easier to just get her diploma.
Mystletainn 10.18.16	do you have a continuation school in your area? if you're behind on credits you can graduate pretty easily and quickly if you do your work, at least that's how the one in my city is. If you're not going to go to college look for a decent job with health benefits, school districts usually offer a lot of different kinds of jobs.
tempest-- 10.18.16	so u dumb af but pretty confident in yr taste.. consider music journalism, looks like you aint got many prospects anywhere else
Minnesota 10.18.16	you can probably guess what state I live in, so yea idk how similarly education is run here
Minnesota 10.18.16	@mystle have no clue what that is, don't know if those are things here @tempest can't write to save my life tho rip
hal1ax 10.18.16	sm0k
hal1ax 10.18.16	i didn't do well in school until i figured out what i wanted to study. without that incentive and motivation, there was no reason to try in school for me. maybe you just need to find something that you like that will be worth studying and learning about
StarlessCore 10.18.16	"still intelligent enough to tell you american football is shitty" dude youre like 17 and you said in a thread nails is the best band in grind/pv plz fail out of hs and get on welfare immediately. your best bet of succeeding rlly try in economics tho man, most important topic of our time imo
Mystletainn 10.18.16	a continuation school helps students such as yourself graduate with a diploma when they're so far behind on credits that there's no hope they will graduate on time regularly.
Minnesota 10.18.16	@star that is seriously the most bipolar comment I've ever seen on this site hahahshaha and yea @hal I have 0 interest in any subject even closely related to academics so sm0k
StarlessCore 10.18.16	stop listening to nails the only band in grind and pass economics you loser. 18 trillion dollar national debt what does it mean go
Minnesota 10.18.16	means sm0k
Mystletainn 10.18.16	when all else fails, sm0k
Boyproblems 10.18.16	Get a G.E.D. That's a General Education on Decency - ll Cool J
zaruyache 10.18.16	stay in school, and all that jazz. Look into trade schools if you don't think college is for you, look through all (ALL) the possible majors at your local-ish colleges to see if anything catches your eye/is a field you can imagine being part of for many years without going nuts and hating your life/would be physically and mentally capable of excelling or succeeding in at an acceptable level. You can always try community college first to get credits and figure out if more schooling is for you, before you decide to jump on the Debt Train to Studenloansville.
Potleaf420 10.18.16	I wish I could help you, but Potleafs don't go to school.
Minnesota 10.18.16	thoughts on cannabis corpse?
Potleaf420 10.18.16	I've had to bury family members
p4p 10.18.16	2 options: flippin burgers or roll a chipotle burrito
adr 10.18.16	sell weed
Sinternet 10.18.16	start a rap career
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	Just get a tutor. Study hard, you'll get it man. Don't fucking drop out, Jesus.
hal1ax 10.18.16	put that pretty little mouth to good use
Minnesota 10.18.16	"start a rap career" already in an avant garde hardcore band sorry
TVC15 10.18.16	I have a friend who took the GED freshman year. Dude has been wasting away on drugs since; chill guy to get high with and all that but dude has no direction in life at all
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	"put that pretty little mouth to good use" This thread got dark
Sinternet 10.18.16	avant-garde hardcore rap career
Nazzadan 10.18.16	Highschool is easy as fuck and a VAST majority of students graduate, please don't be one of the stupids that don't. Just study hard, get a tutor, and pay attention in class instead of making lists on a music review site.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	What Nazzadan said. That times a thousand.
Chortles 10.18.16	sputnikmusic staff writer
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	LOL just went back and read this, Starless is hilarious
hal1ax 10.18.16	that's terrible advice. ya man it's easy studying is easy ya man get a tutor. his problem is he's unmotivated, not mentally deficient
Nazzadan 10.18.16	Here's your motivation: If you drop out you have to work harder to get your GED as opposed to just staying in school for another year and finishing. So it takes longer and you work harder than if you had just done it correctly the first time.
hal1ax 10.18.16	that's more like it. dropping out of high school is going to make your life down the road substantially harder. just try and find something to look forward to academically. fucking art, music, wood shop, whatever the fuk
JWT155 10.18.16	I mean I was an Econ major, what problems are you having?
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	Well, he should be motivated if he wants to not waste years of his life playing catch up once he has to afford things like food and a place to live. I don't have to tell him that, but it's a bit more real once High School/College ends.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	I know it sounds harsh, but c'mon.
BallsDeep 10.18.16	Start researching existentialist philosophies brah and you'll come to the conclusion that it ultimately doesn't matter what you do with your life, just live in the moment and enjoy each day fk planning ahead, do copious amounts of class 1 drugs, fuck anything bipedal untill your cock is raw, form a hopeless anarchopunk band with other angsty deadbeats, cover yourself in impulsive ink, take up stamp collecting etc the world is your playground really. thank me later
Egarran 10.18.16	Gonna listen to some avant-garde rap now.
Mystletainn 10.18.16	Your motivation should stem from $ and more trees to sm0k These are the two most important things in life , oh and food
StarlessCore 10.18.16	no bad advice weed is ruining my wallet rn dont listen to him
JWT155 10.18.16	If you goal is to be able to do cool shit and bullshit then getting through high school and into a successful career is the only path that takes you there, almost everyone I went to high school with who dropped out now have tougher jobs than I do, make way less money than I do, have less free time than I do, and honestly have less access to vices and drugs than I do, and I don't even partake. In general, if you want to be able to live a fun, engaging life where you get to travel, enjoy the best pleasures the world has to offer and party your ass off, having a great job is the only option really to achieve that life dream.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	Ballsdeep, yeah
TedSchmosby 10.18.16	JWT155, what job do you have?
JWT155 10.18.16	I work in finance and my girlfriend's a consultant, and because of our career's we've been able to travel and do and see a lot of crazy shit. I just got back from a 3 week trip in Asia that was insane.
AtomicWaste 10.18.16	JWT got the knowledge. High school is free. Take advantage of that. Trade schools are usually a free option while in high school and trades pay well and are always in demand (plumbers make more than I do and it's pretty dope to be able to handle doing your own handiwork - it's stuff you come to appreciate). If you're not into trades, community college is cheap - if you don't know what you're doing, muck around with anything that catches your attention and do it there on the cheap. Some even offer 4 year degrees. tbh, I think GEDs are looked down on a bit more than traditional diplomas and you definitely want every advantage you can get in today's job market.
Mystletainn 10.18.16	@starless Don't blame the herb for your lack of self control bro
DrMaximus 10.18.16	"...take up stamp collecting etc the world is your playground really. thank me later" Yeah, food stamp collecting
BallsDeep 10.18.16	indeed haha
StarlessCore 10.18.16	"Don't blame the herb for your lack of self control bro" i love the herb dude but itll suck you dry!
hal1ax 10.18.16	the mystikal herb forced me into buying chimichangas in bulk sometimes i dont even heat them up before eating them
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	I don't smoke as much as I used to at all because of job, bills, life, etc. I usually smoke a bowl before bed, but that's really it so I barely spend anything on pot anymore. I used to basically devour that shit in college/couple years after college
StarlessCore 10.18.16	"I used to basically devour that shit in college/couple years after college" im out of college a year and d e v o u r i n g
Jeffrulesyou 10.18.16	What's your overall GPA this year? How many classes are you failing or is it just one? There's multiple things to consider. Don't drop out unless you have absolutely no chance and your mind is already made up. I dropped out junior year and got my G.E.D. the year after. It wasn't too hard at all honestly. Took a few classes and took some tests passed and blammo that was it. Went to college for 6 years after and have a degree. I don't know what your mindset is right now, but people telling you you're fucked if you dropped out is absolutely incorrect. It's entirely up to you at that point and if you get your G.E.D and start looking into things and try your best I'm sure you'll find some success somewhere, but you have to work for it man.
wham49 10.18.16	A ged is easy to get up will get you nowhere. In a culture where a college degree is a basic need to get most self sustaining jobs, you will be in trouble to find a decent job. if I were you and want to graduate, talk to your counselor about taking the ITED test, or at least that what it is called in my state. What it is is a test that will get you an actual diploma, without finishing school, so when you come to your senses and mature a bit, at least you would be able to get into a tech school to get an associates degree, that will allow you to earn enough dough to live on, if you drop and get a ged, prepare for a long difficult life
Minnesota 10.18.16	thanks for all the advice guys. knowing myself I'll probably stick it out and graduate, but getting insight is always nice
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.16	"people telling you you're fucked if you dropped out is absolutely incorrect." We're not saying that, we're saying it will be needlessly more difficult and more likely that he will have a much more difficult time. It would be wiser if he could just pull it together now for just a little longer, then he won't have to worry about this shit in the future.
JWT155 10.18.16	^ On top of that, many people who quit school and become successful did so because they had an idea or passion and decided to channel their time towards that than continuing their education. Bill Gates didn't quit school because he was bored and then started Microsoft. Chances are if you're wanting to quit school, specifically high school, and it's just because you're bored, it doesn't interest you, pure laziness, chances are you're a person who will need that high school degree the most, because laziness and just feeling bored is a great way to score you a job as a pizza delivery driver, working in fast food, local gas station, etc and as mentioned earlier, having the ability to have an abundance of free time and money to pursue your passions is the most achievable with a good education and a goo job, something quitting high school in most cases won't get you.
JWT155 10.18.16	Again, if your goal in life is to be able to have money, be able to bullshit, travel, afford ridiculous things and party in crazy places, that life is only achieved if you earn yourself a well paying job and that either happens by graduating and doing well in college or working extremely hard to work in a trade or join a union. A majority of the kids I went to school with who quit now either work multiple jobs to make ends meet or they're on welfare and barely get by, that doesn't sound like a life you want for yourself.
Egarran 10.19.16	TIL smoking pot is expensive.
Keyblade 10.19.16	high school was piss easy. like u really have to give zero shits and not go to any classes to be failing anything
