damn brehs... bein among/the first man in your fam to graduate college appreciation

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

That's bananas...its powerful moment. Do you think your gonna cry? (any of you that are the first)

i don't think so, but its always the chance. i aint cry went into a tantrum after i turned in my final assignment. just acted a damn fool, and i wasn't plannin or expectin to, it just came over me

Anybody else feel like this shyt places alotta pressure on you, especially from your female relatives?

Because most of the men in your family fell off

not for me. i've always been the one to stand out, but i never felt any pressure. ironically i wish i had though, it took me 6 years to get here cuz i was so lost and unfocused/motivated. for a lil while i seriously considered droppin out, that kinda pressure woulda helped me put things into perspective and get my shyt together. i'm my own motivation now though. its no more games when i hit grad school

ditto, never understand why people viewed graduating college as some huge milestone. Same with HS


especially considering the fact that the large majority of college graduates remain broke and in the hood

Oh word, then how come the majority of America doesn't have degrees?

nah, I'm just saying, i know alot of people with degrees who are still in the hood, my moms had a BA and yet I grew up in the ghetto b. I wish that having a degree automatically meant everything would be all gravy and successful but most of the time it doesn't.

shyt is almost equivalent to graduating from HS nowadays, some degrees obviously hold more weight than others tho, alot of us are just wasting dough on some BS degree that will never get us a job yet we feel like we've accomplished something just cause we got one? whatever makes u feel good about urself b, all ur really left with is a piece of paper to hang on the wall and mad debt most of the time.



I'm all for higher education/enlightenment, i just don't like the way the shyt is handled in our society and institutions tho, all they care about is milking these poor naive students for all their money selling them pipe dreams while throwing them out there into these markets were there are very little jobs, if any.



and If ur lucky enough to find a job you'll be spending the rest of ur life paying off student loans....


The fact that college education isn't free in the U.S is criminal,(especially when its free in parts of Europe and Cuba) but that's another discussion. It's all about business here, not the prosperity of the citizens
