It's funny, a recent marketing practice run had us group various ppl into segments and under one segment was the "educated." I have suddenly have come to realize that I am part of that group. It's weird thinking of myself educated, I sure as hell don't feel it. In fact, I think I've decreased in intelligence relative to my ppl around me. It's ironic, this university "education" that's supposed to prepare me for the real world... I graduated from High School thinking to my self, man I'm just so damn smart, the world is just mine to take, uni is just a little detour that will make me look even more brilliant. Then, after 4 years of uni, I feel below average in intelligence compared to most ppl around me, whether it's my friends with 3.80+ CUMGPAs, who work, dance, study and have bf's at the same time, to the arts students who are friggin encyclopedias outa their asses to the mgmt students who have had their own business for years and at my age are millionaires. Sigh. McGill if full of suprises. From the outside these kids can all look like idiots, but over the years I've come to realize that most of them surpass me. The girl that's so drunk that she's melting into the ground may be an honor roll student by day, and the boy who's experimenting lighting his hair on fire has a 4.0 gpa, while another guy who's attempting to bungy jump nude from his balcony has a full academic scholarship. Of course I don't forget to mention the guy who's attempting to climb up the side of the arts building is the validictorian.
