The Official Girl Help/Issue/Talk Thread 2: Re-Entry
I would say college does a lot more than just provide you with knowledge.
Let's say you learn to think more efficiently, or learn to analyze text more deeply, or just grow socially from your time in college. Wouldn't you say that all of those things are, in a sense, becoming a smarter person?
Sure, maybe your IQ isn't any higher, but you have gained skill sets that benefit the way you navigate and perceive things in your life. In my opinion that is definitely getting smarter.
Then again, everyone's college experience is different. I think that the potential is certainly there for more than just gaining knowledge though.

Everything you just mentioned is basically what I gained from growing up in the hood for a majority of my life. Ask someone like Smuttny, he'll agree.
jesus shut up about the hood. you're not from compton
To his credit there's literally nothing you'll see in Compton that doesn't happen in the Bronx. Fortunately I just know how to articulate my experiences a little better than he can. You absolutely can receive an education outside of school if you are inquisitive enough to absorb your environment correctly. Not to say that college isn't a platform that gives you opportunities to expand your mind, but it isn't for everyone, and those who don't participate aren't inherently inferior on an intellectual level.
lol absolutely notim the type of kid that would laugh at your gang for thinking theyre tough
When did he mention being tough? I think he just hypothesized that you would feel out of place in his natural habitat, and thus would behave as if you were uncomfortable. Which makes all the sense in the world, considering that you needed to reference Compton as if it were some mythological place he wishes he could relate to. Basically indicating that you don't know anything about where he actually is from, or the aforementioned "hood". Your statements make me presume that you haven't ventured far enough to understand a social climate very different than your own. Call it a sixth sense, but I'd make the assumption that the radical differences in your upbringing and general attitude make it easier for you to hate someone like him. Perhaps hate is a strong word, but you do make yourself out to look salty and aggravated by just about anything he posts. I suppose you're "the type of kid" that considers himself better than certain people that they don't understand. Maybe you both have that in common from time to time. From my vantage point, it seems like your college education doesn't make you exempt from frustration.
My suggestion:
- go to www.ebay.com
- purchase a parachute.
- hop off his meat.
Some people just have no clue Smuttny, not worth the effort to try and paint a picture for em.
Agree with ya Stobs but me hangin out in the streets honestly taught me a lot more than Moose is learnin in college and will apply to his every day life and that's straight facts.
Like I said before, I'm usually high when I post on here and don't really take the time to make a proper post but I'm a decently smart person. Definitely couldn't tell by lookin at me or seein me out in a casual environment but put me in a academic or professional environment and I'm a completely different person.
Niggas don't be askin for shit, we want it we take it. Been layin real low lately though, honestly gettin tired of the bullshit that comes with the street life.
Are you having fun reinforcing shitty stereotypes? This is a totally preventable lifestyle you're living brothaman. I hope you lay low for good.
i just honestly think it's hilarious that plat think he has learned more from the streets than i will from college
it's downright embarrassing. maybe this would work if you had any drive to do anything, but you don't. it's apparent through your kickstarter campaign for an xbox that you aren't doing much, it feels like just two months ago you were sending applications in to dead beat jobs
i know college isn't the end all be all and i experience that everyday. my dad never went to college and his income is still probably in the top 2.5% of the country. he got to where he is by working 3 jobs at one point for technology firms and applying himself. so he learned goal setting and motivation, but it doesn't sound like you have any of that as you just post pictures of yourself smoking dope and doing shit. even with all this being said, my dads biggest regret is that he didn't get a college degree. even though my family lives extremely comfortably, my dad said he has been offered promotions at JnJ that have salaries of upwards of $1,000,000 but he can't accept them because he doesn't have a degree. also times are different, it's a lot more difficult to enter an industry with no degree
so you can sit there and justify to yourself that you're smarter than me and have learned more from the streets than i will in college, but when i have job security and a job with a serious future i'll be happy that i went to college.
at the end of the day, you're the kid that my high school would laugh at for going no where and thinking he was hood. sorry
