10 years ago... could I buy a little more time, Bob?

I guess it would have been, "Become a lesbian, STAT!"

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." -Mario Savio

You are not ready to go to college. Take a few years and learn what it is like to work for a living, that way you won't screw off and take 5 and a half years to graduate cause you decided that foreign language requirements didn't apply to you.

10 years ago I was 10 going on 11, the fuck happened to my teenage years? :(

I would make some shit up like we are going to be enslaved by monkeys or something because I don't hold particularly dim views about how my life has turned out

This would have been before the Convention. Oh, OK, assassinate Dick Cheney too. I'm flexible.

EDIT: If you're a Secret Service Agent and you're reading this, bear in mind that by "now" I mean back in 2000. For both of them. OK? :blush:

Do not date Melissa, she's crazy; and do not bother to get a degree in Political Science, because even though you will be only two semesters short of completing the major, you'll decide you want to become a classical archaeologist. So focus on learning Ancient Greek and Latin, and major in classics (rather than deciding to do so your Junior year, which I am doing now :/).

If I could? Don't date that Romanian asshole, don't do more than 2 semesters in that network admin program, and go get a real university degree so you don't wind up with two useless college diplomas. Become a teacher instead of listening to dad's advice.

I have a Computer Networking Administration diploma and a Legal Administration: Law Clerk diploma.

I had originally wanted to go into English to become a teacher but my dad discouraged me saying that the market was saturated.
