Biggest lesson life has taught me is nothing really last forever. The story of my life is "It was fun while it was lasted"

To those who are currently in school (college). Don't sit and think that once you graduate jobs come begging for you. Truth is, a bachelors degree is nothing more than the modern day highschool diploma.

A bachelors is a minimal requirement now and holds no power other than that. In today's world it's masters of bust unless you have a connection.

Not true. Depends on what kind of bachelors degree you have. Business bachelors degree? Sure you're somewhat right. STEM bachelors degree? Not even close

The one about not telling anyone your plan or where your going is so true. I feel that I will accomplish something if I just keep it to myself and don't tell anyone.

Even with that they look more at your experience than anything. The degree itself isn't the end all be all
Let's also not disregard job competition, demand, "living" wage, cost of living, and job longevity.

All on point.
This bothers me like no other.
You should have ~50 pairs.
anything more and your not wearing a lot of them.
Unless you just got $$ like that, then it doesn't really matter.

*When you found the right one, KEEP HER.
And if you lose her, fight until you can't anymore. That said, don't give your heart out to just anyone, either.
*Hard work is the center of everything. From job/career success to getting your *** in the gym and becoming a healthier you. You ******** do it, no matter how hard it is.
*Life doesn't wait for you to be ready. Seize it, take hold of it and conquer it.

Ditto on the buying too many shoes thing. I'm sure we've all been there. The truth is shoes impress dudes.

Maybe with science and math a masters is required more but tech and engineering majors can easily find a job without having a masters degree

They really don't with an engineering degree you are pretty much guaranteed the average salary with a 2.5+ GPA. This is all only if you actually try getting a job, I know a lot of people that don't even try (start applying after graduation, apply to 1 job a month, etc) but complain about how they can't find anything.Even with that they look more at your experience than anything. The degree itself isn't the end all be all

Man all I can say is I'm blessed for landing a job months before graduation, a lot of salty people in here. Just keep applying.
But back to the topic. Reality checks for me :
-Sneakers are a waste of time & money
-Don't treat a CC as cash (will make sure my child will never have to resort to this)
-When you start making a lot of money people start treating you differently
-Learn to be content with life, or you will never be happy (daily struggle for me)

oh so many tough experiences. I would say that dealing with people in society varies from place to place. I feel like the US is definitely a cold place.
definitely look after your own needs. everyone is trying to come up and people will use you if you let them. people will stop talking to you if they don't think they need you any more.
Other people's opinions don't really matter when it comes down to you doing something. It's up to you to act when the time comes. People can send you up to the batter's box but you have to swing the bat.
Shame and regret never changed anything in the past.
Enjoying life is much easier than being pessimistic about things and feeling like you have something to prove all the time.
Everyone dies, so you don't have to be afraid of them (unless they're coming after you with a weapon).

Seeing a starving child in Nigeria
Living on my own, supporting my parents
Seeing my father getting old. strange to see a strong person slowly becoming old and dependent
Homies surviving cancer
Realizing how much time I have wasted
Women I messed with getting burnt
freshman year of college walked to BK and saw a woman shooting up dope in the parking lot. Got my food walked out and she looked dead. cops and ambulances arrived all that jazz
Realizing how many people here in Milwaukee are carrying :x legally and illegally
Some young men are nothing to mess with. Young dudes out here really don't care if they get life or get got.
My life with and without religion.
Family and time is truly all I have and they both will be gone relatively soon

I feel like only folks still in college think this way.
