Uh Oh....

On my way to work today I was considering the past four years of my life.
I realized that I haven't retained a single thing from my college education.
nothing.
I remember zilch.
This concerns me. And it's not even excessive drinking or drug use that has deleted all these memories.
I think it's truly from a lack of all around caring. I am and was totally apathetic to everything that I was taught in college.
First off, I thought ( and still do) that the college I went to was complete bullshit. As my roomate freshman year so aptly put it, "Columbia would accept a dog with a pouch of money around its neck". Needless to say, Columbia wasn't selective about the students it allowed to enter its thresholds. Most of my peers were complete idiots. My favorite example of this was in my managing human resources class. We had to present real world situations where poor management took its toll. My example is how at my former job my boss hired several new employees who were not a good fit with the company culture and current employees. Then this Pete Wentz looking bitch presents her example.
" Yeah so I went to the Maroon 5 concert last night and like, I dont think their new songs are as good as the songs from their last albums," she says whilst nervously twirling her product drenched faux black hair.
"I think it might be 'cuz they have a new drummer."
The teacher tells this bitch that this is an excellent example of poor management, which yes, it could be interpreted like that, but i think she was just sharing a story about her evening.
My eyeballs almost fell out of my eyes because I was rolling them so excessively.

One of my friends decided to keep a tally of how many times his teacher used the word "umm" or "you know". 136 tally marks later, he gave up when he had filled up the piece of paper he was using. This was a teacher people. They should be sure of themselves and not have to resort to filler words.

I mean, I can't blame all of my mental insufficiencies on Columbia. When it comes down to it, i really just didn't give a shit. I feel all life lesson and any business expertise I will need in life I can find on google.
