So, school has let out for a lot of you college kids. Here you are back home, partying, reacquainting yourselves with each other, having copious amounts of unprotected sex with people you've known since elementary school. It's pretty awesome, I'm sure.
For me, I didn't want to go to school. Like Morgan Freeman said in Shawshank, "Institutionalization blows." Or something to that effect anyway.
I had my reasons for not going. I had dreams to pursue, I had a big city to tackle and I honestly am terrible at the whole school thing. The biggest reason, however, was the price. I didn't see the correlation between ten thousand dollars and an education; I thought, "Hey, why don't I get a job and make a lot of money instead of spending a lot of money."
Today, I'm no richer than the poor college students looking to bus tables for beer money.
Whether I went to school or not, I've successfully spent ten of the ten thousand dollars I've made since employment. Hilarious.
But, Andrew... You're pursuing your dreams in a big city, all the while living it up, right?
Oh, hell no. I'm doing stand-up in front of depressed, alcoholic New Yorkers who are probably going to have sex somewhere later on that night. And truth be told, that's the only reason they're laughing at me.
"Ahaha, this is almost as nice as the date rape later on tonight..."
Go to college, folks. Really. 'Cause regardless of your age, there is absolutely no way you can not spend a lot of money when you're starting your life off. Perhaps it's trial and error, perhaps it's the misuse of all this new found freedom; I like to think it's God oiling up your asshole for the eternal ramming of life.
