Kotonohoka Undouin!
Welcome to "Kotonohoka Undouin"! That's Japanese for Unusually Campaigner. Here, I'll place my most random messages, links to excellent anime, and more random s**t.
I quit college.
I'm gonna quit college at Tidewater Comunity College at the end of my spring break. I have not learned a damn new thing, the only classes that teach what I am majoring in are BELOW my level of knowledge (seriously, I finish my work in a matter of minutes, whereas it's supposed to take almost a day or two), and My grades in one class are just total; for lack of better vocabulary, s**t.


Sure, I did enjoy my time there. I met some amazing people, I learned a few things that I now annoy people with (BLACK IS NOT A COLOR. Time to visit Hot topic and become public a*****e #1), and I've learned MORE by just playing around than actually listening. My fractals? I learned that on the internet. My drawing coloring? From friends. Everything on my DA gallery, minus a few things, were learned from friends and curiosity, NOT college.

Monetarily speaking, I'm going to be working with my mother, since the job is something I can continue learning at. She runs a lawncare company, and deals with irrigation. I'm kinda new at it, too, but I'll be learning and earning money at the same time. As my father has always taught me, I should learn not just one thing and be a master at it, but learn many things and be good at them.

If all of the Computer careers are full, I'd be royally screwed if that's all I ever learned. But, Lawncare is always an open field. If I take time to begin working with my mother, I'll not only learn another profession, but I'll benefit in many other ways.
1. I'll get a tan from working in the sun so much.
2. I'll lose weight and FINALLY cut my hair.
3. I'll be paid. More money to work with ftw.

Those are a few perks for working with family.

After a while, however, a friend said he'd run an internet sales site, selling movies and games for great prices. I asked if I could assist him, and he said he'd allow me to help when he needed it. I even joked around, asking if I'd get a discount from the store. He said yes XD.

    it's good to see you actually have a plan for what you'll do after you drop out. i've had friends drop out and have absolutely no idea what to do and they're having real trouble. i'd tell you that it's hard to get jobs without a college degree, but since you're going to work for your parents and friends, i guess that won't be as much of an issue for you.

    it sounds like golf courses will be your friends. xd

    I saw this link in your signature and I just want to say: Community College isn't worth s**t. It's highschool v2.0.
    I hope everything works out for you but don't write off college just yet. There's plenty of time to go to a real college.

    Thanks for the concern. But, I'm not going to a golfcourse for any reason, except to golf XD.

    And sodium, I think I should've pointed out that I couldn't afford REAL college XD. Community college was the closest I could go.
