<p>Give the OP credit for owning up to his mistakes. Good luck, hope you get back on track, man.</p>
<p>Compassion is overrated. He acted like a dumbass at the CC and got horrid grades. Whatever happened to him as a result of that was well deserved. I have no compassion.</p>
<p>lol… </p>
<p>This is why people need to lose their virginity in high school, and get over that “first love” nonsense. Because if that **** waits till college…gg</p>
<p>HiJynx99…</p>
<p>u sounded about the truth…</p>
<p>I know, trust me. I lost my virginity at 16 and from 16-18 I didn’t have a care in the world, because I was in love <3 haha. Of course once she moved back to her native country (she was here on a 2 year work visa) I was like “woah…time to clean up my ****” and it was much much easier to deal with.</p>
<p>Actually I am not overly upset about it, as you can prob tell from my posts. Not sure if I’d have pulled off the final semester even if I didn’t fall for am ex-beauty queen. My heart just wasn’t into finishing off my undergrad at this time. Better that I realized half-assing doesn’t work now than finding out about it once I get into UCLA. I am still younger than the average junior year college student so I might as well take a year off and find something to do for the time being…</p>
<p>Wow this thread should be made into a movie…</p>
<p>Thanks for the happy ending Trivia! Made my heart tingle. Good luck!!</p>
<p>Can you all please stop underestimating the importance of a personal life. </p>
<p>So what, so he got rescinded from UCLA- he still learned a lesson, and he still had a good time, and he still atleast lived his life.</p>
<p>Plenty of people dedicate themselves to schoolwork and do NOT loose their virgninity in high school and what not. Actually a lot of you boys dont even become normal men (virginity or not) until post college anyways because so many of you spend so much time focusing on other things and avoiding a real life. </p>
<p>I was engaged by the time i went to college, it may have taken me longer but i wouldnt have traded in real life for college life anytime of the week.</p>
<p>Seriously, college is just 1 aspect of your life. Your personal life is a huge deal- at the end of the day, whomever you marry and have a family with is the biggest part of your life, not your job, or where you went to college. If you are normal, a job is a means to an end, it is a way to support your lifestyle and your family.</p>
<p>Ummm…no one is underestimating the importance of personal life. If anything, I am saying someone needs to live their life earlier on. In case you weren’t aware of this, school is part of your personal life. College is not just academic, it is social. Not to mention an integral part of your future. I don’t know about you, but I don’t plan to be bagging groceries in 10 years and fighting with my significant other about how we are going to pay our $113 walmart balance.</p>
<p>Your logic is ■■■■■■■■. So what he threw away an awesome education, he got to hook up with a chick! </p>
<p>I am unsure what this “real life” is that you speak of. As if attending school, having a social life, and working is not part of “real life.” Is it only real if we are dumb enough to be engaged by 18 or 21? Are you somehow more qualified to talk about personal life and real life? And “normal men” haha. Please to define this. Getting engaged by the time you are 18 or 21 (assuming you started college out of high school and or went straight to CC) is anything but normal. It just shows how immature a person is. Not to mention their insecurity.</p>
<p>Hijynx, you are obviously a youngin’ and a tard. Stop making a fool of yourself and go take a nap or something.</p>
<p>When you’re a beauty queen, aren’t you always a beauty queen? I don’t think you ever lose the title and become and ex. It would be like Michael Phelps saying in 20 years, “I’m an ex-Olympic Champion swimmer.” Once a champ, always a champ. </p>
<p>However, if you were using ex as a way to imply she had let herself go, then I could understand. Is that what you were trying to imply?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Malishka, I personally plan to make my job something I love. Something that makes me happy. My job will not be a means to an end. It will be an external appendage of myself that does much more than just provide me with financial security. I personally do not see myself working in a job that is simply “a means to an end.” If that doesn’t make me “normal,” than I don’t want to know what normal is.</p>
<p>Also what’s wrong for prioritizing college before sex? College is only a few years of your life. Sex? Well with today’s “technologies,” you can do that whenever. I, personally, would rather stick my nose in a book for a few years and then leave the rest of my time to stick other things in other places.</p>
<p>EDIT: ^^^ Though I guess one could do both at the same time.</p>
<p>Hyjinx: Losing virginity early on does not mean you won’t be chasing after girls afterward. I think the fact that OP was chasing after a girl, or was busy getting it down with her, has very little to do with him being a virgin. I think it has a lot more to do with him liking the girl very much, virgin or not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But what kind of job you have (which is largely determined by your college performance) is a large factor in determining whom you end up marrying.</p>
<p>I have to agree with Hijynx on this issue. Throwing away an entire year, or even half a year, is a huge time deficit especially for kids as young as us. The priority for most people here (whom I assume college is a very big factor in their life since they care enough to visit this forum) is and should be academics. Early 20’s is perhaps the hardest stage of your life because it’s the most important time of your life. It’s the time where you start establishing your base, building up your credential, and reaching out to professional community to get your name out there, and delaying the entire process will put you at a significant lag for your life.</p>
<p>The OP clearly made the wrong judgment with regards to prioritizing his duties. But he learned his lesson, so no more to discuss this further.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree with you on most part, but this statement is just wrong, not to mention ignorant.</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>What a stupid thread. Damn. </p>
<p>These people who want us to have “compassion” for this nitwit are idiotic. Have these individuals ever heard of individual responsibility? Read about it. It was one of the founding principles of this nation. </p>
<p>This guy screwed up and now he needs to face the consequences. He seems to be doing just fine with it, but others here want us to have “compassion” for him. What a joke. It’s people like this, who want us to have compassion for people who screw up, that lead to the degradation of society and people in general. No longer are people forced to “face the music,” “sink or swim,” or any other comparable clich</p>
<p>oprah IS the real world kiddo. she probably contributed more to obama getting elected than… obama.</p>
<p>Dhl: I am more referring to the “first love” syndrome that young people seem to always acquire. You can definitely chase women (or men) and do fine in class. However, when people first encounter “love” as they perceive it, they often put everything else aside and envelope themselves in the other person. And when it ends, they usually go through some sort of meltdown. Which is why that sort of **** needs to happen at a younger, less important stage of your life. So you know how to have balance.</p>
<p>And I stand by my marriage comment. I see no reason why anyone should be married or even engaged at 18. You have barely experienced anything and are locking up the rest of your life with a person you barely know. Sure you may “know” them as you think, but people really don’t develop who they are until after 25 or 30. Kids who have barely found their nether regions, shouldn’t be using those same parts to decide about marriage. Not to mention you have ZERO idea who you even are. I am NOTHING like I was just 3 years ago (at 18). And I am sure in a few years I will be a much different person as well. If I married the girl I was dating at 18, I would have shot myself in the head by now.</p>
<p>In regards to sophe, teleprompter technology got obama elected.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t get me started on Obama. The man is incompetent.</p>
<p>He graduated from Columbia with honors and was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. AA won’t take you that far, I’m afraid.</p>
<p>Hijynx, don’t assume your life parallels anyone elses’. No need for calling someone insecure or ■■■■■■■■ because they made lifestyle choices that YOU don’t approve of. That’s called judging, which “logical” (you seem to enjoy using this word a lot) people don’t bother to share out loud.</p>
<p>I’m not necessarily saying I support early marriages nor losing your virginity early, but that has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.</p>
<p>Keep your miserable nagging to yourself.</p>
