>that guy who went to a good school like the university of Texas only to study English
Why on Earth do students pay so much money only to drift through four years of a degree -- Is hippy pussy really that good?

I knew a guy who went to MIT to study civil engineering. Just seems like such a waste.

I'm still bitter about going to a cruddy school after all these years.

That was me, four years ago walking from UT with an English degree. People like the chair were fucking mummy but the women there were un...beat...able. (Because they all carried guns.) Jokes aside it was ass soup. I lived it. Not to mention the pleasure of being a senior there... knowing that Borges taught there.... and suddenly reading the first sentence in his story "There Are More Things."
No redneck Aggie experience could ever compare. All they do there is smell the asses of the Bush family anyway.

If your goal was to write like shit and get laid you should've went to Texas State.
