college athletics

[jahannam]

yeah .. I swear... it's the best way to get through college.
to be an athlete.
you dont even have to be GOOD GOOD.
you just have to be an athlete. ahhh they pay you soo much.
and the jerseys you get FOR FREE are enough clothing until you graduate.

yeah I know. it sux for the rest of us who arent athletes.
can you believe their freakin registration dates are like a good week before the "priority registration" dates of the "4.0" students?
so basically a freshman ATHLETE gets a better date compared to a SENIOR who's not being able to graduate because of ONE stupid class they can't register for

its not fair filling up a spot in such an awesome school for a kid who stinks at learning and comprehending the material, verses a kid who works hard and missed getting in by a slim chance because some other kid who is a poor learner gets in easily because they play good, into a school which is known for its great education.

ah, whatever.

irony

yeah so, who said college is all about academics? u should just appreciate the fact that ppl who are not good enough academically are being able to do something else in their lives, and become good at it.
u know what i hate? when ppl just go to school and just do school work, and go home and then expect to get into a good school. well that's aint gonna happen, ppl who are involved more in other things other than school are the ones who have th better chance in getting into schools. I love that about colleges.

well u know how tough it is to choose a class when u have sooo many athletic obligations to do ??? you can't take classes during practice which is 3.5 hours. u cant take classes during competition times. and so on.....so there, regular students can actually play around with their schedules, but we cant.....

Best of luck then. If you pull it off in the end, you'll have my utmost respect (for all that it's worth).

Oh boo hoo hoo.

Making a schedule takes up a whole, what, half an hour?

that was my point.......I have such packed schedule, full of athletic obligations, that it's sooo hard for me to decide what times I should choose.....trust me, that's why we deserve the very early registration, cuz weve got the slightest class time choices....

Yes, but in another post, you said that athletics give a person that's not very intelligent the chance to make something of themselves. So if academics isn't the person's true goal, then why all the priority for the classes? (Does my question make sense?)

hahaha. I wanted to ask it, but wasn't sure if I would be able to formulate it.
