I got down College LOL

College isn`t a waste.


I waste a lot on eating out...something to cut back on.
other than that...not much else.

Edit: NVM Universities are a waste if you can do the classes at a local school.


I will save over $5k in two years by going to a community college.

i'm pretty much getting paid to go to school in the fall

Lucky duck, I get to fork the whole thing.

Maybe I can get a scholarship next year.

I notice a pretty big difference between 87 and 92 octane in my car....

I agree that weddings are a waste... just tell your girlfriend that... I also think diamonds are a waste.

I used to use acne meds to try and clear up my acne.. when I stopped using it and washed my face with just water my acne went away.. imagine that..

College is a waste also... all it's good for is drinking and meeting people. I have learned about 95% of what I know (in terms of work experiance) from just doing my job. Everyone I talk to says the same. But it depends on what your going for. A medical degree is a bit different then a network engineer degree. I just paid over $50,000 for a piece of paper. And I had to work my ass off for 4 years to get it.

Energy drinks... I don't know about your area but here they are very popular. Almost every single idiot has a red bull, monster or rockstar drink when they come to class. I don't get it. They cost $2 each and taste like piss warm beer. The thing that erks me is that alot of these guys complain about not having enough to pay bills and go to school. If you have the money fine, but if you don't and you have a red bull and a newport (cig for you non smokers) in your hand shut the **** up.

I agree to a degree (no pun intended) with the thing about college, I havent really learnt much in my degree that I didnt already know (that said, im doing a dgeree in a area ive always been interested in) but that bit of cow skin at the end is easily worth it in that it will get me a job in the industry that much easier, as its goes into "academic qualifications' instead of 'interests'..

Agree with weddings.
Agree with energy drinks

Candy, other then that nothing really. School has been payed for and I also get some extra money aslong as I attend class payed by the government.

Here it's near impossible to find anything below 95 octane (atleast never seen anything lower then 93). A Volvo is made for 98 octane but will adept to 95 if thats what it gets

The only classes at college that i find usage for are my engineering classes and i am working this summer as an intern at a company for engineering and i have learned more in 3 weeks of learning than in 1 year of college lol

and yea energy drinks are pointless, one minute your wired and the next your out cold so i find no point in them either

I find energy drinks helpful when im studying for a test, i start to doze off drink one and i cant sleep for 8-9 hours for some reason. But they are a waste of money and i don't drink them very often. But to me the biggest rip off is organic food, if you really knew that they use more chemicals for organic fruit. food, ect im pretty sure you wouldn't eat it.
