Advice for College....

[Alphamale1821]

It's a little naive to believe all that sh!t, that all you have to do is graduate as a frat guy, and then your life will be made from there. Every frat talks a lot of sh!t about their grand connections, but it's usually all bs.

Even making the grand assumption that you will get some great job just by being a frat grad, which is a giant and dangerous assumption, the average frat guy party animal has about a 2.2 gpa. That means that you will never in your life have more than a 4-year degree: no mba, no law school, no med school, no Master's of any kind. Over your lifetime, this will seriously limit your earning potential. The trade-off is four years (maybe five, lol) of beer-drinking in exchange for a lifetime of mediocre wages.

I would hate to be in your shoes, too, man. Those bigger fish are the ones with the graduate degrees that you'll never have.

Whether or not being in a Frat helps or not if you have your shiit together you can make it work out for you. It's the weak minded people who go to a frat and end up leaving with a shiity gpa because the don't know how to balance. I do plan to join a Frat and based on who I am I have no doubt that I will have a good time and will be one of the frat boys who have the best parties on college and bang the hottest chicks.

Is that to say that I’m going to lose all focus of my future and graduate with a shiity gpa. NO! it doesn't Only the fools who get to caught up in the moment are the fools who forget about their future. My social life and my academic life will both excel while I’m in college. Just for the fact that I sold my self short in high school, but I was a foolish kid back then. I'm determined to prove to myself that I will be the Best Leader I can while in college and also maintaining my grades. It's really not hard if you have the right mindset and balance.


However that may be too deep for some of the people here.

There are grad schools that accept people with low GPAs on a probationary status. Having a mediocre/poor GPA as an undergrad does not 100% guarantee you'll never have a grad degree. I'd be looking into it more if I had a clue as to what I'd actually want to go to school for.

Oh and I just remembered, I have a friend whose boyfriend graduated with around a 2.5gpa, and he got accepted into a couple fairly good law schools (he's actually a really smart guy, just slacked off a lot in college). So, yeah. Enough with the "if you graduate with a sub-3.0 gpa you can kiss your future goodbye!" spiel.

What law school did your friend get into with a 2.5? Whatever schools let him in are a joke, like Cooley or John Marshall, and he undoubtedly did very well on the lsat to even get into a crappy law school.

The grad schools that accept crappy GPAs are crappy grad schools that charge $20K+/yr for degree that will hardly get you a job. And you can only get into these crappy schools having a crappy gpa if you ace the admissions test, which is rare.

I can't believe that you are so naive to think that grades don't matter. But enjoy your delusion. The world needs overworked, underpaid, dead-end-job middle managers, too. Start shopping for your short-sleeve dress shirts now.

I will enjoy my delusion. While you're 31 and think you know all there is to know.

As I pass my four years of college with drinking and hooking up with more women than you can imagine. Then get hried into a very prestigious law firm headed by an alumni of my Fraternity that pays for me to go to Grad, Law school, because I am a people person that is good with other people.

Then when i'm 31, i'll be living a life you only dream of living, and not be a cynic poster on a self improvement website.

Hahaha, keep thinking that buddy. You have no IDEA what life after college is like. It's real easy to talk **** like that when you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh but I do know, especially when my graduation is around the corner, and I already have a job and am filling out my applications for Grad school as I type this, fully funded by my future/current employer.

Dude, life is gonna smack you and your smug ass so hard that you'll become suicidal when your delusions don't happen.

It's hilarious that you are lecturing me about how to get into law school, when I just graduated from law school two months ago. It looks like I am the one living the life that you are dreaming of, friend.

:crackup: Good joke!

Clearly the life I dream of is when i'm 31 to be on self help forums looking for tips how to talk to girls and be more confident.

 

[OrdinaryMadness]

BTW congrats Bible Belt.

I know that law school admissions have a lot to do with your LSAT score. My buddy had a kick ass GPA, but didn't sport the best LSAT so now he can only get into tier three schools.

I don't sport the best GPA (my school hasn't combined my CC GPA which kicked ass), but my goal is next year (my senior year) to buckle down a lot more and concentrate on my studies and then attempt some LSAT prep courses next summer, finish up my BA then apply next year.

Joining a frat got me carried away with partying this last year and yes, my gpa suffered. However I learned from that situation and I know what I have to do to carry on to a post graduate degree...which is work my ass off, like i did to transfer to the university where I am at now.

1. Isn't being dependent on a few frat friends to give you the connection required to get through law school a little... well... tenuous? I mean c'mon, it doesn't always mean he will be always following your best interest.

2. People come to university and pay that boatload (or with financial aid and scholarships) of tuition and boarding to get the education needed to get ahead in the fields they wanted (also for many, like me, follow some liberal arts to be well-rounded in all fields) and having a good time is certainly hoped for too. Friends and connections are an essential component to building the foundation to getting ahead in life, but so is having the knowledge, skills, and expertise (usually grades reflect on that) too.

Everyone

3. A sub-3.0 gpa is not the end of the world, actually few failures are ever final. Though you have to agree, a sub-3.0 gpa is hardly an ideal position. Isn't it better to put some effort in studying to have a good gpa while still going out and having fun? Also what's wrong with learning for the sake of learning?

 

[azanon]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, are you kidding me?

SOme of the best connections I was introduced to was through my frat.. sipping ****tails with rich alumni saying how they have top of the lien work for me after I graduate.

I would hate to be in your shoes man.

Just rememebr, there's always a bigger fish.

You'd probably give your left nut to be in my shoes. If i were you, I'd make sure and find out exactly who you're talking too before you go boasting.

 

[KaJaMo]

You'd probably give your left nut to be in my shoes.

Yes clearly I would give my left nut to be a 35 year old SOB on a website looking for tips on how to talk to women.

You think I envy a punk with no life and probably 1/100th the net worth of me? Get real, son.

 

[ChrizZ]

If you think you´re so much better than everyone on here then why are YOU the one arguing and desperately trying to convince everyone that you are successful in life?

 

[Interceptor]

Why isn't this punk banned???!
sheesh
Enough with this guy's sh*t.

 

[Cash37]

I need to know some good advice on transistioning from High School to Colllege. Anything that is definetly different from either? Should somethings be done differently in college than in high school? How is the experinece with women in the college life different from the high school life?

Its not different. Make friends on the first day. Most people met their core groups, long term relationships, etc. first week, first year.

 

[KaJaMo]

Yeah if I had your amazing net worth too, I would be on sosuave.net arguing with 20 year olds. :moon:

Finally, you managed to post without it being deleted 2 minutes later.

Hooray old man!

Lol buddy, and you are some one that comes to this site and talks sh!t sayin how he's better than everyone else. Your frat may be good which I doubt, so why not just keep it to yourself. Lol you think that you are so much better than all of these nerds at so suave but why not try to help them out with advice. No point to say how cool you are, you are not impressing anybody. Take this from a fellow male that also has testosterone running through his veins unlike many posters here (unfortunately) but thats a different topic.
