My life revolves around school

<p>I’ve noticed this, the one thing I love so much is school, I used to hate school (still hate hs) but now college is all I think about, I mean I see college for more than just a place to learn, I see it as a place to meet a lot of nice people and have job…every thing I do has something to do with school…when I meet girl my key convo is about school and I’ve been so much more confident and open with them because I know what I’m saying and I have interest in it…I used to be the shy kid that girls came to talk to asking me questions that would make me hesitate, but now…I have so many topics and questions there can hardly be an awkard moment (I’ll start by asking what school you go to and what you major is) and girls love to see my interest! I just had to announce this college has changed me for the better. College is my getaway</p>

<p>Any one feel the same?</p>

<p>no. I am female and i preferred men that had well developed interests outside of school, but i get the scence you do not have much experience with women so this may be a good thing for you.</p>

<p>Good to hear you’re improving yourself altogether. For me, whenever it comes to conversing with a female, being the introvert I am, surprising them is always enjoyable. Maybe with an unexpected notepad and pen, ready for interviewing them…or playing a flirty game of “LEMON” or “MASH.” Rehearsing small-talk phrases inside your head will only take you so far. If you’re an introvert, try to bring up topics that you can really get in-depth with.</p>

<p>My only advice to you is to not let school consume your life. Otherwise, you will likely feel kinda lost when you graduate. Have you thought about joining any clubs on campus that aren’t academically based? That would allow you to stay in your comfort zone, but branch out and try different things. :)</p>

<p>I agree with KitKat.</p>

<p>Also, girls are secondary, if you stop looking chance is are that she’ll surface on her own (my life has typically played out in this manner). I suggest you pick up a hobby that you can lose yourself in. I think it’s awesome that school is opening the world up for you, but once you dedicate yourself into something that may ultimately disappoint you, well… your core may be shaken.</p>

<p>Invest your time in something else, something that has nothing to do with school! Maybe volunteer (go build some houses, teach underprivileged children, etc etc) or really get into a sport! Maybe fishing, kayaking, hiking, baseball, basketball, rock climbing… you know, something that takes time and dedication. </p>

<p>I recommend sports because I’m not really big on clubs. I like to keep my school life and my other life separate. Then again, I only play solitary sports because I’m just not big on human interaction when I’m trying to find my own place. I’m kind of a loner, lol.</p>

<p>Do stuff that makes you happy and quality women will flock to you. At least that’s what I keep telling myself…kidding, but yeah. Find a hobby.</p>

<p>yeeaaaahhhh… don’t sink yourself into school so much. i know school can be of some sort of a topic for you to talk about. but sooner or later, you’ll run out of ideas to talk about. go out into the sun or something, enjoy the weather. get a tan, you’re probably pale from studying so much in the library. girls like dark tall men.</p>

<p>Chicks dig guys with good jobs. How do you get a good job? You do well in school! Stick to the chicks that are into your school talk. You’re not looking for a skank are you? School will get ya the classy babes.</p>

<p>That’s true. But girls don’t want a guy who is ONLY into school. Have a social life as well.</p>

<p>“chicks dig guys with good jobs”</p>

<ul>
<li>If it was only so easy.</li>
</ul>

<p>Okay this is to every one, I said I see it for more than a school, it’s a chance for me to get an education, make new friend, have fun, and after get a job, basically college is my connection to my life, its like google, what ever I want I can find using it…for example, if I want a job, college, if I want to play a sport, college, girls, college…pretty much every thing I need comes from college…you guys think I’m only talking about studying, when That’s really the least subject I’m talking about…college is like that one popular friend that introduces you to every one. Remember this is my belief and It is true for me. Im a decent guy, in hs I hang with the popular guys and talk to a lot of girls but don’t even know if they exists out side of school lol…college is my chance to make close friends.</p>

<p>Nope, all of you are wrong, girls only care about how many curls you can do.</p>

<p>Curlz for the gurlz.</p>

<p>So why is this a problem?</p>

<p>Don’t forget though, curls only count if they’re done in the squat rack. Swing the weight with your back to really… Ugh, I feel dirty just writing that.</p>

<p>Seriously though, it sounds like you’ve got your head on straight.</p>

<p>Exactly, to maximize attraction while doing curlz, you should:</p>

<ol>
<li>Always do them in the squat rack.</li>
<li>Use anything and everything you’ve got to get the weight up (swing side to side, jump, scream, arch your back, etc).</li>
<li>Load 90lbs on top of what you can usually do without using the methods described in 2.</li>
<li>Make as much noise as possible while getting the weight up – everyone in the gym should know that YOU are doing YOUR curls, and THEY should know that.</li>
<li>Make sure to rest for at least 15-30 minutes in between sets while you cruise from workout machine to workout machine showing off your ripped biceps, from all those curlz, to all the gurlz.</li>
<li>After finished with your 2-3 hour curl routine, don’t bother wiping off any equipment used – YOU’RE paying for YOUR membership, that’s the gym’s job.</li>
</ol>

<p>OP, don’t listen to any other posters about gurlz, if you want to get these gurlz, you really need to get started on your curl routine now.</p>

<p>^definitely. and emphasize those z’s in those words. you’ll for sure attract some women.</p>

<p>It really is the *only *way.</p>

<p>Ek,</p>

<p>Don’t forget to do all of the above while wearing a TapouT shirt and shadowboxing in between sets. Shorts also to totally show off the chicken legs. Doing legs is for wusses.</p>

<p>lol, first of all, anything that involves men and squats can NOT be good.</p>

<p>second of all…</p>

<p>this just reminds me of my life prior to CC. I had some direction and I had some enthusiasm in school. I was more interested in spending time with my boyfriend and hanging around our houses when our parents weren’t home.</p>

<p>Of course he was #2 in our graduating class and got into every school he applied to, except Stanford. Me? Well, I had a decent GPA. 3.3 unweighted, 2100 SAT, two AP’s (thus a 3.6 unweighted).</p>

<p>yet I was rejected from EVERY UC I applied to. Meaning UCI, UCR and UCM (YES MERCED). I was also rejected from SDSU. The only state schools I have been accepted to were CSCI, SFSU and CSUN.</p>

<p>I saw many more students below my class rank and GPA get into SDSU and UCM. This was a wake up call that life isn’t going to let me just skate by.</p>

<p>I’m grateful for my CC, in the sense that it gave me a chance when no other school did. I almost went to SFSU when I realized that if I go there, I will never transfer. I needed to realize that school was a privilege, not something that is just handed to you.</p>

<p>Yes, Merced… jesus, I thought they would accept me! You should of seen my face when they sent me a rejection letter. I didn’t even think they printed those.</p>

<p>I’m curious to see if you have these same strong opinions about college once you ACTUALLY start it collegekid.</p>
