Re: Is wanting to be a professional slacker a good thing?
If you aren't going to end up with your parents then where???
You shouldn't smooch off someone else.
If you do get your own house and place, you better have everything down with paying for it first. you REALLY don't want to fall behind in that sorta stuff.
Forgive the crappy grammar!

Re: Is wanting to be a professional slacker a good thing?
First of all hallace, I want to have a job and a small apartment in the bay area, schools there have already been recruiting me for my grades, I have $20,000 in the bank already, from my grandparents. I can have a small apartment, a minimum wage job with no hard work, and a non materialistic life style. Second of all I was already angry by no one reading that I was going to college first, then you come and give an opinion, and let's face it we were already on bad terms, that slacking is a sin. So yeah, I was in the wrong with my response, but you were in the wrong by coming and telling me what I really want is wrong.

If it was immature, then don't play LOL.
Oh and groovemaster ALWAYS talks like that.
Cuse this really all began when you over reacted cuse he used "fucking high horse".
Then it was a sarcastic pissing contest after that.
SO hope that clears everything up.
Unless you both want to keep it up =/

Thanks hallace, glad you caught the sarcasm through the computer, he didn't. So if he didn't and got offended by anything I said I begrudgingly apologize.
Re: Is wanting to be a professional slacker a good thing?
Alright Fuck you both I'm done with this forum. Like I said people like you and me, don't get along. Whatever you do in your real life is totally up to you, whatever place you end up with.
Re: Is wanting to be a professional slacker a good thing?
I have no idea what happened in here, but anyway... I think you should look for something you're interested in. Until last year I thought I was going to be a dirty hippie traveling trough America because I'm quite lazy and I wasn't interested in any real career, just wanted to "enjoy life", and then I met my soul mate physics.
Re: Is wanting to be a professional slacker a good thing?
hahah!! i was having this exact same thought a few weeks ago (probably because we had just come back to college after the christmas break, during which i slept pretty much 24/7) But, when i got back to college, i found myself really disinterested in everything around me, and all i really wanted was to be a bum and sit around.. :p

Is this a good thing?
Being a straight A student is very good, but your taking a couple of years off take you away from education to make you even lazier. And you are wanting to get a law degree? You should begin now, because doing law is intensive, and you’ll be studying and reading lots to gain all the knowledge a lawyer needs to have.
Learning for a professional career takes time and dedication to achieve a university degree. years down the line you could be earning megabucks (as some lawyers do), and then perhaps you can take the sabbatical you will have by then, earnt.
Laziness causes indifference. You want a nice apartment? A great car? All the luxuries that go with being a professional? Then you got to study, and to become a lawyer you kiss your Facebook goodbye and any form of socialising because of the intensity of your studies will be absolutely relentless.
Or, you could get a job and do home study. This is what I did, but the penalty was extreme tiredness, insomnia and lot else besides. But I have a BSc.Hons in Mechanical Engineering, I'm self-employed, have a Jaguar XF, a Harley-Davidson Softail which I customized and for all that I worked 60+ hours a week and nearly did meself in.
But I did it. And you can get there, too, in your chosen profession. And then you go and tour Europe or wherever your dreams are. But you have to be in love with your chose career because bumming round the world for 2 years ain't gonna get you anywhere.
