college beat

[otnemem]

I'd like to say that not everyone whose parents pay for college completely slack off. I have three brothers and sisters. My parents paid for all of our college educations. All graduated except one (who attended 1/2 a year at Dean Two-Year)—she's an artist so it didn't work out...

Obviously not everyone that is paid for slacks off, but it is way more likely that you're going to slack off if you're not going through on your own dime. Both of my parents can testify to that after being cut off by their parents after first year idiocy, taking a year off to work, then coming back way more motivated than before.

Just contemplating what I'd have to do financially to make university work for me right now makes my head spin.

Slight hijack. Just wanted to say that Zanta is awesome and I've seen him in my neighborhood. Thats one crazy [censored] up dude. Also, I'm assuming you go to Queen's. Good stuff, me too.
