well I have never had that and but for this year where it's been several occasions, nothing like that ever took place in my life.
Folks think college was hard and indeed it kinda was, but I stayed pretty wrecked for much of it. I just learn things quickly (usually) and I'm really good at taking tests. I can also bullshit a paragraph into a dozen paragraphs and call it an essay.
Have you ever had an IQ test?
Yup.
I have always been really good at taking tests myself. I always was the first to complete the test and got the best score. I go into some kind of hypnosis state when taking a test and i just nail it. I was always in the 99th percentile in all those basic skills tests in all the subjects. I never went to college though. I did spend a summer getting it on with all the chicks in this dorm building, though only one at a time. LoL
I spent almost 8 years in college - and all at a fancy and prestigious school. I went to, arguably, the best institute of higher learning on the planet. I know my shit, but man did I enjoy the hell out of academia. I partied pretty fucking hard for a whole lot of it. I worked my ass off, but I still lived it up.
I think having been a Marine helped. I learned how to keep my shit squared away while still having fun. Had I not first been a Marine, I'd have failed out of college. The discipline really helped. I might have been trashed - but I still went to classes, even if I was hungover or even still buzzed. I'd mix soda with vodka so that I could keep the buzz going and not crash.
