Rant About Whatever

PeppermillRenoI mean is the owner supposed to lose money?

My 6 months probably doesn't even cover her condo fees, taxes, and the cable for the year. (Mad appreciate that there isn't roko bullshit and I get ESPN was dreading no sports.) Summer renter is the income. There is plenty of affordable housing 15 mins away in Rutland VT etc this isn't Colorado. Seasonal rentals are old school and how things used to be done before airBNB fucked everything up.

WoFlowzNow ik how the rest of americans feel. tuition sucks. i got recruited to row at an amazing school, about a hour from a sweet park/mtn in the northeast. I’m guranteed admission but little to no aid and low chance at a academic scholarship, But the team was the best team i’ve met yet, coaches were amazing and campus was gorgeous. It’d be a dream but not for 82k a year 😭😭😭😭the american education system even fucks the upper middle class god dammit

WoFlowzy is school so fucking expensive, i did shit right? like I have a 3.8/93 overall, i took two AP‘s and 6 Dual enrollments. Yea my maths behind but ok? I did a fuck ton of meaning full extra curriculars that I founded not pay to play shit. and I played Varisty Soccer and Rowed and worked two jobs? like what more do schools need? Ok i’m white and upper middle class, i have a car and a good public school but i don’t have money to go to some feeder private school or pay 80k in tuition. 40k a year is even stretching it and that’s with help from parents and loans. y is school so expensive???

BradFiAusNzCoCaYeah dude you don’t want to be in the hole for $82k/year.

It’s because of student loans, demand, and a whole system that is taking from the next generation. It is beyond predatory at this point. Even $40k is a lot per year for a school. You can’t discharge student loans with bankruptcy. If you’re taking out loans that large, you better be a physician so you qualify for a physician loan otherwise it’s going to be a while before you will qualify for a house because your debt to income will be way too high. And once again - YOU CAN’T GET RID OF THEM.

theabortionatorHad some agro parent lady scream at me at the airport last night. Bunch of super toght connections and a delayed flight from the start. We made up just enough time it was worth giving it a shot. Gate closed on time l, no hold which was stupid but whatever. Missed it by 1.5 2 minutes if it closed 15 min out.

So they announced if you dont have a right connect fuck off and let people go. You know how people are though. Moving slow getting off plane, taking up the whole space coming up to the gate. Was running past peolle. Gave people the heads up. Lady was barely moving blocking everything. Gave a heads up. Almost stopped to get by them without running into any of them. I think maybe lady thought I shoved her kid.


Idk she was freaking out screaming at me that it's not okay and to calm down. Idk she was the one screaming. I was just trying to make my flight. Dumb fucks like her should at least stick to the side or better yet let the people run by.

But yeah missed connection barely and got screamed at. I think I only lost like 30 seconds trying to talk to her. I was taken off guard. I was like wait wut?

People are really stupid/selfish when traveling. You know people are going to be moving fast trying to make flights. 2 min would have meant being in NY instead of stuck in NC till today.

Either wait to get up, be fast, or very least stay to one side. That's basic etiquette.

Oh well. At least line was very short for the help desk and they didn't try and make the "weather " excuse so i got a hotel. Coulda been worse

WoFlowzstupid fuckin sister bought drake tickets without talking to me about it and now i owe my parents 500$ or it’s my one big christmas gift 😐

SlushSeasonOn top of the unlimited "free" money driving up prices, administrative bloat is out of fucking control. Instead of one councilling office, schools will have staffed "resource centers" for every separate identity group. Admissions marketing is sending out thousands of mailers daily and buying primetime tv ads. Schools are wasting millions annually on their football programs (except for the few profitable ones).
They'll try to claim that this stuff isn't funded by tuition, but that's bullshit. Whenever they need money for some new idiotic expense, they'll shuffle. money around and raise tuition to cover the balance

WoFlowz. y is school so expensive???

LonelyAdministrative bloat.

Greed.

Useless programs.

That being said, life's all about tradeoffs. Got into a school where I would be playing NCAA soccer. Decided to go to the school with better skiing/education and don't regret it. Still played club soccer in college. Could have been around even better skiing if I went out west, but then that would double my cost.

Life is all just trade offs and wicked problems my guy.

That being said fuck 80% of the administrative staff at any college anywhere. Your job is useless. You are useless and you should be ashamed of how much you take from society while contributing so little.

OregonDeada little skewed but understandable why people think this way. some of the highest profile institutions that do the most advertising/ marketing do have a lot of the bloat you are talking about. at some schools the costs seem outrageous for what people are getting for sure
in reality roughly 1/3rd of the higher education institutions in this country are non-profit community colleges. these places are designed to have the lowest possible cost for students and in many cases have the highest average wage outcomes among their graduates
there are also a lot of lower cost 4 year universities that have a similar mission and similarly low pricing. Metro State in Denver for example you can get full time tuition for a semester for under $5000.
usually these best deals are for instate tuition but some schools like the local CC here will only require like 90days residence to get in state tuition

LonelyYeah I'm definitely being hyperbolic but I would still feel pretty strong making that claim for most large universities that also have the large price tag along with them.

I'm a huge fan of community colleges. While they don't usually offer full blown bachelors or terminal degrees you are getting some of the best bang for you buck education wise.

Unfortunately, and this is another thing that really grinds my gears, large universities won't take community college credits 1 to 1.

In my case I took calc 101 in CC, with a professor that used to teach at the university I was going to (left the uni in good standing to be closer to family and avoid being tied to doing research).

I was not allowed to transfer that credit for calc at the uni. Got an A in the class. It ended up being used as a gym credit lmao.

oldmanskiUnfortunately there are a lot of people out there unaware of their surroundings. Airports are similar to the slopes. People stop or go slow in areas that hinder the people trying to get where they need to be. Glad to hear they sorted you out with a hotel at least.

theabortionatorFor sure! Yeah ill take it as a win honestly. Last time I was at thier airport they called it a "weather delay" and I slept on the floor. They're pretty shady about that these days. Cleared security super easy. Shoulda slept in another hour but got some decent sleep.

Stoked to see my northeast friends. Hopefully can make it work and see a bunch of them. Always hard woth driving involved. Lost a day already. Have time, but time goes fast.

BradFiAusNzCoCaIs it Charlotte airport? That airport is horrible for layovers

MinggUB is a great school and rather inexpensive. I went for 3.5 years (7semesters) for my first bachelors (did 18-20 credit hours per semester for the full time rate and graduated a semester early). Then I went back to UB for nursing for a year (4 semesters). I ended up with 24k debt total for 2 degrees. Just don’t dorm lol.

partyandBSdorms and the book store are the biggest fuckin scams out there

maaatttI love trix cereal but man do my bowels fuckin hate it, I guess trix really are for kids
