What Are You Saying Today? (AKA The Random Thoughts/Blogging Thread) - Page 3

I don't tend to frequent bars that might actually deny me (or anyone else) entrance. Now that I think of it, this holds true for more than bars--it goes a lot toward explaining how I ended up at the college that I did.

I'd read the discussion (or listen to it, whatever).

The acceptance rate is 38.1%, which now that I look at it classifies it as one of the most selective major national universities in the nation. But I only really applied because I thought I would get in and it was within 20 minutes of my house. I had loftier expectations when I was in high school, but I missed half of my senior year due to illness, and that kind of derailed my college ambitions. Now I just need to figure out what to do with my 70K in debt and degree in philosophy. As for frat parties: ugh. I can play beer pong and drink Natty Ice in my own backyard without worrying about whether I will be denied entry. The social life at my campus is pretty terrible. I still hang out almost exclusively off campus with people I went to high school with. If you want the name, it's number 31 on this list (in PA): http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...udoc_brief.php

I'd read it, but I don't think I would understand it.

I also don't get the appeal of cheap alcohol. Much like cheap watches, it seems pointless.

From what I can tell you don't go for cheap anything.

Life is too short for cheap stuff.

Perhaps. But my bank account is too small for expensive stuff.

How much credit card debt can one be in before he is deemed irresponsible? I'm a student so I only work part time at a crappy retail job and I have about $1,000 on each of my two credit cards. This time last year I had $0 dollars on them. Should I stop buying nice pants? Or just start eating fewer meals?

Bank fraud, forgery, and a ten-year prison sentence? I think I can deal with the occasional can of tuna fish instead.

I'm going to eat egg whites and oatmeal now. Yum.

good morning sf
