    yes. I saw the politricks first hand. Had a male English Professor that favored the cuties in class and often gave them good scores for a lil somethin' somethin' on the side. I was inspired by him even though he was playing favorites to the hoes. ? taught me a lot. Ol' Mr Scruggs..lol

    If you can score a car, you will win favor with the hoes and be able to get some help with homework when you need it. it pays to have a female hungry for education on your team.

    I can attest to this...this bad creole chick I've been talking to invited me over to her apartment cause we were working on a project together..
    Couldn't really try anything cause she lives with 3 other people but I made a good impression so its just a matter of time before the sandclock finally run its course.

    Meet and know as many people as you can in these next 4 years. Your relationships with people in college well help your career in the future more than your degree will.

    Finally Finished HS and since I'm heading off to college (and the majority of the IC is 21+(?)) I was just asking for any tips you could throw out

    Appreciate in advance

    As you are still young try get some work experience in early before leaving college even if its just weekends and nights..Do not shy away from using employment agencies they are downright dodgy but most guarantee you work and you have higher chances of getting employment through them than applying directly to Companies. Also If you can, get a degree under your belt that would be great. Am not sure what your dreams /aspirations are but if you could learn one other european language other than English that will make you more marketable in the international job markets.

    I've gotten the work experience criteria down...the degree thing is the reason why I'm going to college and the secondary language thing is something I've heard is beneficial but would probably take some outside studying to accomplish. Appreciate the tips

    Most of the people I know who aren't from the state or don't have scholarships tend to live off campus cause its relatively cheaper considering the financial aid they get back. Personally I like living on campus so far cause of the convenience, the meal plan, and the fact that I don't pay for ? but if you feel you can save a few Benjamins I'd recommend you go for it

    I'll tell you this about college

    its all about timing

    get your grades in, network, DONT EVER PROCASTINATE ON ANYTHING

    as soon as the teacher gives the syllabus your ass better read at least 2 chapters ahead, so you can chill

    don't think ? like im only so and so, I got all the time in the world, ? that, this time is limited

    use it to your full adavantage, ? as many girls as possible, find out who has the hook up on the nice apartments off campus, you don't have to stay but just be cool enough wit em to bring ? back to smash

    go join a club, and become a leader, get your name known

    i'm telling you this from experience, im a junior and I wish i knew all this ? in the beginning, would have saved me alot of pain and agony lol

    and find out your strengths and weaknesses ASAP, so you can find out what you wanna do

    and when it comes to that, see it like this, regardless of what anybody says, do what makes you happy

    if you wanna run a business do so, just have a backup plan, you want to make money in music do so, just remember to have something to fall back on

    and most of all man

    HAVE FUN

    no worries as long as the condom doesn't break and you keep a good GPA

    HAVE FUN
