oh...only if you transfer then does it matter? like U of IFlaming_Maniac wrote:

It matters too, but the requirements usually aren't as high. That's why people are telling him to go to community college for a year and then transfer.
If you can't be assed to do the work for school, why would anyone want to hire a lazy brainiac?
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
/end thread. However, once you transfer over -your GPA may not, you start over again. That means if you fuck up on your first semester you will be placed on academic probation. That in turn places stipulations on your schedule by not allowing you to register for class when all the other bookworm can. Result of slim pickings? A shitty schedule. Not a good way to start off at your new school.eleven bravo wrote:

like everyone else already said, community college then transfer. you'll get your ass kicked in university. you didn't exactly skate by all that well by being lazy in high school, you sure as hell are not gonna be able to do the same thing in university.
i was lazy in high school and skated through with a 4.0 (weighted). came to university and couldn't do that anymore. first quarter i got a B-, C, F.

Work harder now, see what schools you can apply to that are realistic when you're a senior, if your pickings aren't great just go to community college and then transfer.
Chances are your local CCs probably have articulation agreements with U of Illinois that guarantee transfer of your credits and classes from the community college to Illinois. They might also have guaranteed admission agreements where if you take certain courses and get a minimum GPA you are guaranteed a transfer.

It's pretty simple.
You want to go to college you'd better start applying yourself big time.
If you're not prepared to turn it around then that career at Walmart is probably looking pretty good to you.

Also, telling yourself you'll do it tomorrow never works, because tomorrow never comes.
If you want to know how the next 5 years of your life will look, look at the last 5 and do nothing different.
People will tell you (myself included) that you've gotta apply yourself NOW for anything to change. But the ball is in your court.
Do it now, stop complaining and making shitful excuses, or shut up and fail. You need a proper kick up the arse.
Which reminds me, I've been telling myself for weeks now I'll clean my car out tomorrow. I'm gonna get onto that right away.

Do less of the stuff you have been doing (computer games, hanging out with friends, wanking) and start doing the stuff you haven't (studying and working hard to make a meaningful life for yourself).
fuck that shit man
party everyday

and then mooch off of others the rest of your life. sounds like a plan!
You could always aspire to be a sanitation worker. They make around 60k here(before taxes) and only work for 3-4 hours while being paid for 8(or more) hours of work.

however, even though i think college stats are padded, this also shows what is wrong with college. who needs school more, the top 10 or lower 90? elitist cunts.

Go to Southern IL Uni. a couple of my high school buddies went down there in Galena. They told me it was a party school...the professors cater to the student's party habits, of course that was like 25 years ago.
I find it ludicrous that there are application fees. I hated that when I was applying for uni in the US. As if tuition isn't high enough they also charge you a non-refundable fee just to get them to look at your application.
