Things you do that you get money for. Ya'll have those right?

Plenty of Boyagers are in college trying to become smart and successful. Ask this in about 4-5 years.

I actually don't study for school. I really don't see the point of it all. School is a huge waste of time — it really only serves to control. I don't do my homework and I don't study for tests (which is why my GPA) As for my SAT, I didn't really practice for it, I was too busy. I took it without any sleep and no breakfast and did OK. Probably gonna retake if I feel like it. Anyway, the problem with school is that it shuns this natural and beautiful spirit of creativity and curiosity and instead replaces it with mundane rote memorization-based curriculums and asinine tasks.

Also, my vision of success is all about developing some sort of interest and then pursuing it. Teaching yourself new ideas and opening up your brain to the vast amounts of knowledge that is offered to us in this day and age. Read a book. Look around at the world. Research on the internet. Don't spend life doing nothing, life is precious.

I spend most of my free time reading books on mathematics and physics. Burning through material far ahead of my peers, feeding my curiosity and my own ambition to learn. I exercise and pay attention to my health. My thoughts have matured, my brain has progressed, and my penis has grown. My definition of success has nothing to do with the amount of money one has attained, the amount of professor's dicks one has sucked, nor the amount of pussy one has eaten.

What are you doing with your live? To be truly happy with where your life is going and to be in total control of your situation, no matter how things go. That is success. Are you successful?

I come here every once in a while expecting some of you to have grown, to have changed even in the slightest bit. To have developed some sort of enlightenment or experience from living on this planet just a little longer. I know I have. I may be 16.57534247 years old, but I am growing, and I am maturing. I consider that success.

I know I am wrong to assume that you all have been unsuccessful but that is what this thread is for. Discussion.

I love you all. Goodnight, and good luck.

tl;dr: go fuck yourself.

If you were going to say 'sucks', I'd like to see your idea of what a poor GPA is.

My cumulative is a 93. Grades are very inflated at my school so it's pretty shitty, most of the idiots I know have well above it. Too bad they're all retarded Asian study monkeys.

Oh yeah, well I may be receiving a promotion within the next month and a half and I only started in January. baddood;

im pretty sure we all do all of the above. we just don't brag about it because, what's there to brag about?
also, i feel i should point out, one could argue doing said things is "wasting your life doing nothing"

also according to your definition of success, im pretty successful. so thats good

you'll get so into this and grapple with a miasmic mess of potentiality, then start noticing the deterioration of causality around your interactions and a constant, unsettling quiet other notion, and learn about something entirely new that's far more exciting and far less relevant to everyone else's concerns than you would now guess.

I feel some intensely powerful idea dictating my existence and causing me to be continually uncomfortable, pulling everything toward my being at maximum speed to find more pieces. when I'm efficiently afloat, churning through this vague puzzle, I suppose it is success. in other words I only enjoy creating, which I believe to be the experience of the implicit, opposite of internalizing the explicit (your current pursuit)
