friend who's not cool anymore

[Grapes]

I was stupid for thinking Fnk was a good place to talk about this......How many times can i count, lets just smoke weed and party.

Yeah, that's exactly how people were shooting down your arguments.

What the fuck is the big deal with all this Skull and Bones nonsense anyways? Why does anyone care.. what are conspiracy theorists trying to assert?

That Dubya is hooked up with rich and powerful people?? NO FUCKING SHIT, GENIUS. What's so special about this Skulls and Bones society that they're a greater advantage than having every single right-wing tycoon and their money and influence in your back pocket? Do the members of S&B have super-powers or something??

[wum]

^ you'll be the first to go

[Grapes]

Really? You're the one who keeps trying to out their secret society.. I gotta figure there's a clan of shadowy hooded figures about to knock on your door any second!

Satanists would be a welcome relief from the Republicans.

as far as i know, there is no evidence of what these yale elites do when they have their skull and bones meetings. the claims that they lie in coffins and confess their entire sexual history is fuckin hillarious though. there is a funny quote from richard nixon (also a member from way back) that these meetings are the most faggy meetings ever. haahahah that was caught on the watergate tapes. hahaha

as far as i'm concerned, the media and obviously the conspiracy theorists love to eat up the name "skull and bones" because of the name. the meeting are incredibly secret so nobody really knows whats going on in there. you never know it might just be a gathering of rich ivy league boys getting drunk and doing mountains of cocaine with tons of hoes giving mad rounds.

1) They're, contraction, short for "they are"
2) Do you even know anything about Satanism?
3) And once again, where's your evidence?

the days are stressful enough already... why always be stressed?

I think some people have a hard time balancing school with fun though.. especially when they set high expectations of themselves, and maybe that's the position he's coming from. Because he failed miserably during his first few years maybe he just has a phobia of failure and fears that any temptation to have fun will drag him back into that same rut he was in a while back. For some people, cold turky is really the only way.. and maybe he fears that smoking weed is too much of a temptation or that once he gets into the habit he won't be able to concentrate on school again..

You personally may be able to balance school and fun well, but he probably just feels that he's unable to do both at the same time. I guess he's just reflecting that fear of failure on other people around him by criticizing their life choices.

Oh.. and it sucks that your friend totally rubbed it in your face and put down your faculty.. I know how it is as my sister graduated from sauder school of business and she would often put down the fact that I was in Arts and that the only thing an arts degree can do for you is help you be a teacher....but from my perspective, I myself can't help but feel that my sister is likely making more money right now than I ever will if I complete my sociology degree. Education certainly isn't the only thing that matters.. but I think that her experiences at UBC really did help her in a large way, as she did not get her current job via parental networking.

So I really don't know what to say :P other than the faculty of arts is sounding more and more unappealing to me.

I think your sister is just trying to upset you. Having a BA instead of a Bcom isnt as big as a deal to potential employers as she tries to make you think especially when youre talking about sales and marketing. You just need to know where to look, how to market yourself, and network as much as possible.

read this it'll make you happier

It would probably be a good idea to figure out what you would like to do after school before you start worrying about wether your education will be adequate.

besides you'd make a pretty good lawyer ;)

p.s a guy i know ended up with a job paying 86k a year + benefits before he even finished his Sociology major, he didnt even write one of our finals before he left. go anecdotal evidence!
