Is that the place?
 
i went to a school like that for once semester.

I was explaining something to this one kid I cant remeber what i said. But he was like "i did that once in prison."

ANd one time i took 26 hours to write a math test.
 
you guys are a bunch of idiots, you can tell youre all from a certain type of family and class... i have tons of friends and acquaintances that did awfully in high school and didnt go to college and guess what? theyre more successful than most of you stuck in the rat race for an ivy league sweatshirt. theres more to life and success than going to an impressive college
 
it is completely possible to go to do horribly in college and do well in life but you cant say they are more succesful than anyone trying to get into college because we havent had a chance to be successful. once we get out of college and into the working world you might be able to tell us who is and who isnt successful. and everyone measures success differently so imposing your standards of success on someone else isnt very helpful is it.
 
if yorue talking to me, i came off wrong if it sounded like im trying to impose my standards on anyone, cuz thats exactly what i was arguing against.

and sorry i came off so angry in my post but ive just had too much experience with stupid kids who think the only way to excel is to go to an ivy league
 
where is this school i want to go i have ADD ill fit in just fine ahh it sounds so amazing its like a dream school ide be out there blazin with you man in the morning
 
yea i was talkin to you but i get wat you are saying now. i was just annoyed that you lumped everyone who would like to attend an ivy league into that category. or at least you did originally. coincidentally i would like to go to an ivy league but i definitely know that there is much more that i need to do than just goin to a good college to succeed. it also happens that boulder is on my list of colleges im applying to. they have a great business program. anyways. i gotcha.
 
I goto my school once or twice a week for an hour or two. I do all the work at my house I just have to spend 20-30 mins with every teacher so they can check my work and make sure its getting done and im actually doing it.
