Ugliest UC Campus Thread

[jas0n]

Although I am probably younger than most of you, it took me 17 years to understand my mom. During my "rebellious" years, I always held contempt for mom because I believed she did not hold a solid educational foundation like I did. However, after 17 years, everything has become clear to me. My mom will always be greater than me with the many years she has been in this world, whether it be in Vietnam or America. Wisdom is directly related to age, and I will admit I definitely do not have 1/100 of the wisdom my mom has. I, personally, have never slept in the middle of a gun fight in my entire life. I hope you guys take it back when you get older ^^.


to collegemom16: I might end up at UCI =|. I think you know how I might feel...

jas0n,

Your mom, I hope you understand, is not the entire adult population of the world. Your mom was forced into becoming wise by the hardships she faced in life.

If you want to hear the story of an unwise adult, talk to me about my own dear mother. She makes Charlie Sheen look like a 1950's TV family dad.

[collegemom16]

Don't worry jas0n, you will succeed wherever you go. Don't let this thread get you down. You are such an awesome person. I'm sure there are many great kids at UCI just like you.

[jas0n]

I understand my mom is not the entire population, but, shoot, she brought me into this world. And dammn am I happy about it.

Let's say you are 20 years old, and your mom is 40. Let's also say you watch a rerunning 24 hour show for 20 years, and your mom watched the same show for 40 years. It is extremely likely your mom will be more knowledgeable about the show (down to what second has tear in an image). Your mom has seen the world for 40 years, and you've seen it for 20. Sure there are ridiculous mothers out there, but they lived much longer. A mother can even be a prostitute and have more wisdom than her child.

(I understand there are many exceptions, but these exceptions are not the majority.)

jas0n,

Just because someone has experienced living doesn't mean that they've learned from it. People have an amazing ability to let life's lessons pass them by.

I think that the thing that made me realize just how many unwise "adults" there are in the world was going out and working on a daily basis with them. There are some wise ones, and there are some not-so-wise ones. And I usually find that age isn't the determining factor. Sure, given time, we hope that people will mature and become wiser, but I don't know that there's a necessary correlation.

[blinkblink]

I dunno. I don't think that the more exposure you have it means the wiser you are. It's how you react to the exposure and how you let it shape you. Oh and I love my mommy

And did this thread really get you down jas0n? I actually find it refreshing. If anything is going to get you down about UCI look no further than to collegemom. In my opinion.

[jas0n]

Hai hai, homie gee slice with a skillet.

Now, urusai yo kudasai. =P

I rather not argue about this; time will deal with this.

edit: I've actually not favored UCI for 10 years now, but w/e... I might end up there. I'll find some pride in it sooner or later.

[tenchi]

lol, jason. if you are going to use japanese, learn how to say it. i think you want to say shizuka ni shide kudasai. (Please be quiet)

[jas0n]

All good, I'm Vietnamese and intend to take Chinese in college ^^. All I know is that phrase is normally used in an offensive way: "Shut up please!" I watch a lot of anime for entertainment, and I've consistently heard this phrase so I decided to use it for a joke. My mistake if it's wrong. It shouldn't be though...

[tenchi]

don't worry about it. My friend does it all the time.

[collegemom16]

Jas0n I think it translates to mean you are loud (bothersome) leave me be.

[tenchi]

collegemom: I don't know where you get that translation. Jason's japanese sentence doesn't make sense. It say: Its noisy, Please. urusai=noisy. yo is a particle. Kudasai is please, but you have to add verb(te form)kudasi. So the particle yo does not fit into this sentence. for example to use kudasai: okane wo kashi de kudasai.( Please lend me some money)

oops, just realize my sentence is little bit wrong. Its shi te instead of shide.

[yackityack]

So much tension in herre...dot dot dot...

[jess067]

I live close to UCR and I'd say... UCR.

Much tension indeed... kinda funny that it started from a mere misunderstanding.

I'm from Laguna Hills and I would have to agree with Collegemom that UCI is ugly. The only cool thing about the campus is the In-n-out.
