Why couldn't Will ever get his **** together on Fresh Prince?

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Even in the last episode he's struggling to find a lil apartment while everyone else is doing big things. Ash gonna be a model. Hilary got a show. Carlton going to an Ivy League school.

Will proved numerous times over the course of the series that he was an intelligent and articulate young black male. He even beat Carlton on the SATs (or whatever it was). Remember the.. ... "91 percentile ..." ... He pissed away his basketball prospects too.

My nikka stayed slayin dimes but when it came to balancing his life he was in his mid 20's still fukkin up.

I wondered the same thing....that's what makes the last episode so sad for me to watch lol. He just looked so damn sad at the end of that episode talkin bout "...I'm definately gonna miss you C..."

Subconsciously he just wanted to go back to Philly.

Never followed the plot of the Show, just used to watch in syndication 2-3 episodes a day after school.

Will even got accepted to Princeton
