    Honestly, this is the one thread where talking about Wiggin is on topic!

    Again I must humbly insist that you fuck yourself

    But seriously have any of you even met a real hipster? I mean a real hipster, not someone who just dressed like they could belong to any number of scenes.

    It is a distinct aroma

    Why don't you two take it outside.

    We're trying to have a peaceful family dinner here and you're ruining it. Great, now look what you two did you made your mother cry.

    wiggin money is everywhere for school as long as you are competent. there are literally scholarships and grants just waiting to be had

    Not for me!

    My grades suck, and as far as financial aid goes we make just enough for me to not get anything but not enough for it to be easy to pay for school

    fastweb.com. If you make it your job this summer to simply comb through this website and apply to scholarships/grants, you will most likely get some. Also, you should become independent of your parents. You will immediately (since you're talking about not having a very good job or one at all) get a full pell grant.

    Then, go to community college, and transfer once you get two years/ general studies out of the way. Did you know that lots of universities now have "Promise" scholarships, that will meet the deficit of the pell grant to incoming transfer students? They do! They have gpa requirements, but if you're not getting good scores at a community college in general studies courses then maybe school just isn't your bag.

    And if it isn't, vocational studies at com colleges are great ways to get skills for jobbing it up. Some Ag schools will actually take vocational credit, and you can transfer those credits to start studying for a bachelor's degree in managing a business in your field!

    Wiggin right now you need to realize that this is the cave on Dagobah and right now you should be emerging from it, looking at your posts, while I say "This is why you fail."

    Sure I'm just going to get pissed off and start bitching and irritate everyone even more

    So I mean

    If you want to be the cause of it go for it

    If you want to be angry and pissy on the intertrons, don't blame others for it or your failures. Man up, take charge, and find a different way. Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome.

    Except I don't blame anyone else for my failures

    I just blame nine tenths of the people here for being utter assholes who just love to seize those failures and never stop reminding me of them

    Soooooo
    So you're a pussy who blames people he doesn't know for mean things said on the intertrons?

    Grow up Peter Pan. The real world is mean and tough. There's nobody there to hold your hand and wipe the sniffles away Mary, so rather then cry about it man up and move forward with something else.

    If that doesn't work, cry about it on an internet forum. That will solve everything.

    The medicine bottle is actually a cleaned out oil jug that is refilled with whiskey and sits out in the garage so mom doesn't find it.

    Nothing too awful really, it's just as disappointing as I expected having a real-life-monday-to-friday-office-job would be. So In a way, I guess it didn't disappoint. Philosophy!

    Dad hides 6 packs of beer in the toilet tank so he drink a few quick when mom thinks he's dropping a deuce.

    Ah, I definitely know how that goes. I was really disappointed with my first few "real jobs" out of college too. Eventually I got so sick of it that I moved across the country to work in the game industry for way less money than I'd have been making at this point working on non-game software, but it's still less disappointing because I'm actually interested in the stuff I'm making.

    So now I guess I just get to be disappointed by my probable inability to ever buy a house in the area where I live, heh.
