The Official I'm Bored And I'll Listen To Your Problems And Find A Solution

[ARon]

I wonder how many girls reading this went and got some cornbread.

I have the chance to play basketball for a university, walk-on, no scholarship. I pay some rent and help my mom out a lot, also I'm in the process of paying off my grandfathers and brothers hospital bills. I live about 30 minutes from the school and I sold my car, too help pay. I would have to live in the dorms anyway but I still would want a car, I do not want to walk to class when it is snowing, plus I dont want to ride the bus around everywhere. So here is my problem.
School would of course cost me money, but playing on the team I would really have no time to work. Since I'd be a walk-on I doubt the alumns would hand me out money, plus I'd be a freshman and I would need to prove myself before being offered money. I could get student loans and not worry about that until later but then their is rent and so forth. If I choose to not play how do I look my mother in her eyes knowing all she would want me to do is follow my dreams. Would I be a failure? But then how do I look my mother in her eyes knowing I'm living my dream but being selfish in a sense, she wouldn't but I would think that. Do i put myself before my loved ones? Do I accept reality knowing me going to school is financially crippling? In a dream world, in a movie or something, it would be easy for me to say "Follow your dreams." But this isn't a movie and this is one of the biggest decisions I've had the oppurtunity to make. So what do I do? Go to school and play, or stay home and help my family out of troubled times? Better yet, how do I become Superman and do both?

Carmi, despite having 5 pages, why doesn't anybody take this thread seriously?

because most of them cant take things seriously on the internet. they think its funny talking shit for several pages and so they cant have a more serious conversation.

hmm, sounds like a hard decision.

its hard to give advice if you dont know all the exact informations but if you go to school, graduate, etc it would be possible to help your family even more, in the end, right?

but what happens during the time you are in school and cant support your family? could they handle everything on their own?

did you talk about your thoughts/fear with your mother? maybe she supports you (going to school) which would be positive for you...

It's a dark world... Sometimes it's good to get away.

yes, and i understand that. but there is one more serious thread in here, basically asking for help/advice, so it should be possible to not ruin this thread and continue the other non sense in another thread, isnt it?

there are loans that you can take out that will help pay your rent and living expenses. that is what i did. i dont have to work at all. just concentrate on school.

i dont think you would be doing a selfish thing. this is a rare chance that may never come your way again. if this is your dream or could help open that door to your dream , how can you say no?

good things happen too good people, it may be hard at first but you will adapt and things will work out for the best in the end.

besides, if you work hard your freshmen year you might get that scholarship by your soph year. also might want to talk to the school about grants.

which university is it?

 

[linx]

that is not a problem sir, but a question. me thinks that.. no lol

wtf!

 

[Tru Principle]

who is tecca nina first? lol

Tech N9ne off of Strange Music, from Kansas City...

Quincy J. told me
Superstars are good providers
But
Two times out of ten
When we're on tour
Family's not beside us
What
Can a nigga do
When he makes ends
Add more to the time they spend
While he make ends
Everything else breaking
And the bond at the house
May end
And your wifey steady yelling
'bout quality time
And you think
With all the fame and fortune
Shit ought to be fine
But what happens
When the divorce papers
Just gotta be signed
And you lose half
And your children
Cause you gotta be N9NE
I wanna relax with them
And spend time
To the maximum
But if silence is golden
Then me making noise
Is Platinum
I gotta be Tech
And Daddy
And Hubby
But music
Women mixed with family's ugly
I know and you know
That hell will be
Hot for a nigga's infidelity
But until then
God forgive me
For any promises that I broke
Family
Can I be
Forgiven
For all the liquor and weed
That I smoke
When I succeed will I cope
Will I still breathe
Without both
This ring
Tech N9NE
I don't know
But when I go
I'm leaving out dope

I hate you when you destroy buildings
And kill millions
Of children
From black white Chinese Cicilian
I thrill
When you feel sin
Dealin drugs to billions
Awaiting your death
Miserable until then
I wanna put my Rebox
And get on top of his esophagus
And watch the Appocolypse drop him in Necropolis
Never was menogamus
Doggin is
Your botherin all of us
Gotta get loose from those to ex to soddomus
I hate what you stand for
Hate all your scandals
When your life's baned for
I will not burn a candle
The way you live is not easy to handle
You vandals toss 666 in your blood sample
Yo
The world is very different now
No more hugs
Just shrugs
And Crips and Bloods
And drugs
Nazis show no love
Never we be equal
My name is The Grinch
This song is dedicated to the evil people

The problem about grants and so forth is I never did good in High School because I was never there. I graduated in 5 years barely, still scored a 32 on my ACT's and that is the only reason CU will accept me as a player student. Even if I got a scholarship in my second third year whatever, my mom wouldn't be able to afford her house etc without my help. It's not like we live in this huge house or whatever, if we move to a smaller house it would be an aprtment and that wouldn't really work with 5 people. Damn I hate this, I want no I need to go to school but damn. I'm gonna go talk to the coach see what info he can give me. Thanks.

Puff you said you got loans for rent etc. Being a player and a first year student I'd need to stay in the dorms so I don't think they would do that for me knowing it's not for my own house.

yay one serious problem.

well seriously, i think u should follow ur dreams. ur mom will definitly understand. and even if she doesnt at the very moment, she will later on. cuz after all its ur life and u dont wanna regret the choice of not playing basket in university all of ur life. i mean, a dream come true is the best thing that could happen to u. or do u wanna stay home and help ur family but this with regret.

because as said by bereal, they think internet is only about jokes while its not. while this thread i first made it cuz i was bored, i think it could have turned out into something quite interesting, but other people who were also bored made it into freeposts. at some point yeah i was happy it was taken seriously because it was entertaining for the moment. but whatever, i think it could have turned out to be one interesting thread compared to all those traz and prison threads that i cant stand anymore.
