Is College Really that Important?

According to some old dead guy, there are two kinds of people: Students and Professionals. Both have equally stressful and hectic lives. Well folks, I have somehow managed to become a combination of both.

I am a Professional Student. Thanks to the wonderful people at UNC Charlotte I have taken the "5 year plan" to a whole new level, and by level I mean its turned into the "5 1/2 year plan." Clearly the Public Relations department at my school needs the whole summer off, and feels no need to offer summer classes. This being said, I have started a new campaign called "things I'd rather do instead of going to college."

This is just a rough draft, so bear with me... 

1. A Rapper. 
  •  As some of you know, I have a hidden talent: mad rapping skills. I do enjoy free-styling in my spare time. I understand that having "mad rap skills" is a must, however there a few other prerequisites I feel I have. Like most rappers, I enjoy an adult beverage while lounging in a "hip new club" with my "homies" and have no problem "popping champagne like I won a championship game". Another qualification: I look amazing in a flat bill hat. 
2. A Race Car Driver.
  • I personally think I'm a great driver. If anyone tells you otherwise they're mistaken or lying. I can totally drive fast, and thanks to my AMAZING internship I have added driving fast in circles to my skills. Also, if I win, I am fabulous at popping champagne (note above).
3. A Surgeon
  • At this point in my life, I have not only seen enough Grey's Anatomy to have the skills to operate, but I have in fact preformed medical procedures...on a dog. Welllllll, I pulled a tick off of my roommates dog once... that counts, right?
4. Life Coach
  • I make great life decisions. Judging by this blog, I clearly have my life together. I obviously have the skills to guide others in their life-altering decisions. Obviously
5. Private Investigator
  • Some people call it stalking, I call it conducting an investigation. Its only stalking if you get caught... by the police. I have uncovered so many "who done its" and "what ifs". A girl said her uncle died: FALSE, she went white water rafting - BUSTED. You say you're tired and staying in: FALSE, you're at your boyfriends - BUSTED. You say you left your charger at home: FALSE, you just turned your phone off - BUSTED. You say you have a serious boyfriend: FALSE, you went out on one date, one time - BUSTED. You get the gist. 


These are just a few of the things I feel like I could do instead of finishing college. Some might say I'm ridiculous, others may totally disagree. I for one think these are wonderful ideas...





Update: I just ran this by my father. He loves all the ideas and hopes I can make enough to pay him back for my first 4 years... I may reevaluate this plan after all.
