wow dude i agree with almost everything you said but that statement is probably the dumbest thing i've ever read by you. You're saying the easy way out is going to college and having a higher education? You think its easy going to college? You're the kid who went to a ski academy and got the boot half way through the school year, right? You're saying the hard way is ski bumming for a year while you're parents pay for your rent, your car, probably your food, dont act like you provide everything for yourself man, show me a pay stub with you working 40 hours a week and i will take back everything i said. there's nothing wrong with having your parents help you out, my parents are paying for all my rent and food,but i have apart time job, im not ashamed of not providing for myself, im a freshman in college, but fuck you for saying going to college is the easy way out, i wanted more than anything to take a year off and go out west and establish residency, but i decided to go to a school i didnt really want to go to so i can save my parents money til my sister finishes school and then transfer next year. And yeah i dont like writing papers and some of it is pointless shit but not everythings fair, if you want to make a a decent living you gotta go to college and get shit done, so dont act like you are smarter and better than all of us in college because you have the luxury of taking a year off and skiing for a year. I lost of LOT of respect for you with that post.
