This reminds me of an old scam I often heard about during my time in New Orleans.

A young man would approach you in the French Quarter (stop it...it's not going there...get your mind out of the gutter) and say "I bet you $5 I know where you got your shoes."

You, believing there's no way in the world this guy could tell you the name of the store, take the bet.

Gleefully, the guys responds, "You got your shoes right there on your feet on Bourbon Street, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now pay up!"

And then you, feeling your were scammed, would refuse to pay. The guy would hound you, demanding his money, his friends would come out of the nearest shotgun house, with a shotgun, and you would run for your life down St. Peters.

Or at least that's the way it was told to me.

Lol, so true. I know countless people that went to college for a useless "Spanish" or similar major and now are doing bar-tending or some other crap. This only encourages me to go knowing what I want to do and actually having a plan. Too many people go to college just for "the heck of it.

Oh ya, forgot ur close to college Jack... What is it, next yr?

Ya dude, def dont go to college just for the hell of it... Dont take me wrong, if u do that ur gonna have A LOT of fun, but the outcome aint so great, especially after spending so much money... if it was free like it should (like other countries), Id say f*ck it, but def dont do that, too much money to just have fun... College is mos def the "funnest" ull have in ur life, but make sure u take on a major that makes sense... Good friend of mine did community studies (whaaaat?????) and now cant get a job...

Here's my advice: work hard, party even harder, college is not for sleeping (keep that in mind, I used to sleep 5-6hrs) if u do that ull def see that college was very worth it :)
