STAY WEIRD, STAY DIFFERENT, BE PRAGMATIC

College and school in general is for learning and acquisition of skills, but are you not aware that it's not the only place skills are acquired?, I mean, don't you know that college isn't the only place where education takes place?.

There are different places where you can even get specific skills you need to move on in life to avoid all sorts of wasting being done in college by most people (especially when you know that the college isn't for you). I don't like it when people behave like college or schooling is the holy grail, well it's important, but it definitely ain't for everyone.

We all have different life paths to take and because people close to you went to college doesn't mean that you also have to. There is so much you can do and there isn't time to waste going to college when you know that you are gonna be better off elsewhere. So just because others are going through the process and graduating with degrees from colleges doesn't mean that the process or degree is meant for you. In fact, there are many things others do that you don't do.

You just have to be pragmatic and not always follow rules and protocols. There are some rules and procedures you won't be able to keep up with and that's completely ok.

Think of how not fun life is gonna be or how mundane and monotonous each day is gonna seem if there were no diversifications or differences or if there was a manual which if you follow, will guide you to live your life without any uncertainty or if everything was the same all the time. 

We are all different and you are just among the condiments used to spice up the big soup (the earth and all within).

The thing that matters at the end isn't the degree or the prestige gotten from college, but your ability to find your passion and execute and the people you affected positively through your execution.

"The two most important days in your life is the day you were born and the day you figure out why." ~ Mark Twain.

You have to remain different and show case your talent and skills for the world to see and take note of. I don't like it when youths keep beating themselves up just so that they don't appear awkward or weird. If you let dogmatism rule your life, you will have so many regrets swarming across your fragile mind on your death bed or when you are no longer able to execute (for any reason).

"Stay weird, stay different" ~ Graham Moore (academy award winner for the best adapted screenplay, 2015)
