official thread, some of the thing i read i needed at the moment
People who say these things are just bitter cowards that are/were too scared to pursue their own dreams.Actually the Best advice i can give is:
Do whatever the fukk you want when ever the fukk you want... or figure out a way to do it if you don't have the means Right now.. you may even have to use a few people to do it.
thats how i live my life.... just like fukk it.
people will say
you're crazy
ignorant
dumb
insensitive
blah
blah
but you will wake up at age 30 and be like GOTTDAMN i fukking did it all so far.
I'm 29 this week. But I let a lot of people detract me from personal goals with opinions like that. I would rather have at least tried some shyt in my early 20s and flopped 1,000 times over, than live with regret and thoughts of "what if".
Just go for whatever you're into while you're still young. shyt only gets harder to start new shyt as you get older.

went thru entire thread and there's some knowledge in here
keep it up brehs
keep it up brehs
There are people who knew what they wanted and got to where they were headed. More power to them. I was not like that. I graduated at a time when unemployment was high. Guaranteed to have a job 4 years ago was a reality. Four years after I entered college and finished, not a reality. I was unemployed and living at home with my parents and working a part time job with other people whose education ended at high school.
At least I could live at home for free, but my career wasn't headed where I though it was going to go. I was seriously looking at joining the Army, but I had really bad eyes and thought having thick glasses in the Army wasn't a good idea. Plus I would have to be outdoors a lot and I never really like camping, fishing, outdoors-ey crap and stuff. I knew that I wouldn't be comfortable so I didn't do it. I don't think I was ready for it so I probably would have wanted to leave if I joined. Looking back, I should have tried to get into the Air Force or Coast Guard.
You have to take what you have and try to leverage it. I also found that I didn't limit myself to living in or near my home town. The jobs that fit your background might not be where you want to live. You have to pack it up, say good bye to your homies to make it happen sometimes.
Things may not happen in your "timeline". Your current situation isn't the be-all end-all. I am way ahead of where I was after I got my first degree. It took years though.

Have a job or an Internship lined up before you graduate.
Keep up your education even after you've graduated, there's so many things out there to be learned. Pick up new skills and keep your mind sharp brehs and brehettes.
And also stop and take a look around once in a while instead of just rushing through things because time flies brehs so make sure you enjoy it.

this is so true. My big mouth has gotten me into certain situations that I would hate to re-live. Not saying I'm lucky to be alive, but there has been a few oppurtunities and relationships I have messed up due to me talking so much. It's one of my strengths (as in communication) but it's also my weakness.
On another note, this thread has so much truth and good advise that I would hate to be ignorant and not apply some of it into my life.
Still not so sure about the credit card game though, i feel like I'm making it more complicated than it is.

Just 22 going on 23, but:
If you can, check a job for filling out an app, like go into business and try to get a feel for the atmosphere and the demographics of who is working there. I know, it's tough out here with the economy and folks are looking for anything but doing these thing can really help you not waste your time with garbage interviews.

i'm a young bruh. I'm going to give advice from what I went through to bruhs my age or younger.
1. Always wear a condom, fukk all that pull out game strong shyt. Unprotected sex aint worth the trouble....
2. If you're a soon to be graduate, living at home isn't a problem. Don't rush shyt, let things flow. For every plan you have have a plan B, C, D, and E
3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, partying can wait, but if you like to party do everything in moderation.
4. Learn to stop fukking with people. If you're boy or shorty ain't shyt, stop fukking with them. They only hold you back.
5. Enjoy life man. Just enjoy life. I lose a homie or two every year. And they all young like me. It could be me next year, so you gotta learn to enjoy yourself to the fullest while maintaining some stability in your life.

Also... don't let anybody try to shame you into that you're not dreaming big enough.
not on some "my only goal is to have the Jordans that come out each release" type shyt.
If all you want is a safe place to live, a decent job, money in your account when you need it, and your check engine light to never be on....then that's ok.

Don't take ANY type of advice from the Coli (even mine, but if you do) FIND a mentor (preferably living human but books can count) that has actual PROVABLE success in an area you too would like to succeed in and study from them.
Couple things come to mind -
-Unless you're trying to have a kid, use a condom. Should be non-negotiable, even if she's on birth control (or for the brehettes, you're on birth control).
-If you're booksmart and have the opportunity, try to get a scholarship. I was very booksmart in high school (and got really high ACT/SAT scores) but was too lazy to do any work and didn't get good grades. Because of that, I got into college but had to take out loans to pay most of it. And I'm still paying them back today. Don't be like acri1.
-Pick a marketable major in college. Not saying everybody needs to be an engineer, but you should pick something with at least some real-world application. And start applying for jobs before you graduate. Find an internship if you can.
-Live beneath your means. Don't get the most expensive car/apartment/house you can afford. Get something you can easily afford. It's worth the reduction in stress.

Another thing.... do an HONEST asessment of yourself... your skills and abilities... if you cant do something you cant.. its cool....
problem comes in when you portray you can and then when you're called out your work sucks ... then you wanna start blaming that the boss was being difficult, they didnt explain what they want, yadda ya ....
sometimes its just .... you suck... accept it, fix it and move on
