...to those lectures I never attended, those labs I had no idea were even on, those people whose names I really should have remembered by now and so on and so forth into oblivion.

I dropped out today, well officially anyway. I live here now so I'll still be your local stumbling fool to laugh/cry/get pissed off at for the coming months/year.

disssco · 02-04-2009 11:54PM

Congratulations, I'm sure you'll be very happy pissing your dole money away on over priced beer.

Best decision you`ll ever make tbh,

I dropped out of Maynooth last year, never looked back. Like something out of Midle earth or something it was.

But then again, Your still living there

Best of luck with that :cool:

redenemyjoe · 03-04-2009 10:24AM

I'm not on the dole, I work, a lot.

Michellenman · 03-04-2009 11:47AM

Fair play! I dropped out last year and found it really difficult to actually make the decision! Granted I've gone back again this year!

If it's what you want and if it's what you feel is the best thing to do for you then it's the right decision, no one can argue that!

Anyway, Good luck with your job! All the best!

Rozabeez · 03-04-2009 05:31PM

And you look like you work damn hard joe!

My apologies. I'm sure you'll be very happy pissing your hard earned cash away on over-priced beer.

What's up with the attitude man? Being in college doesn't suit everyone. :rolleyes:

banquo · 06-04-2009 12:00AM

I did computer applications in DCU (ask winters, jim and Ro:maaan!) and hated it. It was a great course and wasn't for me.

Now I do music. It's a bit better, but I'm still glad I changed courses.

banquo · 06-04-2009 12:59AM

In fact, see my sig.

mp3guy · 06-04-2009 07:56AM

Your sig which will be gone quite soon.

pisslips · 06-04-2009 01:15PM

Another ghost to aimlessly wander the streets of Maynooth.

Get out man!

It'll ruin your life.

I know more people who get stuck in that place and spend years of frustration trying to get out of it.

I know a guy who just got out of it this year and he's 33 I think.

Get OUT!

There's a whole world out there, there's a whole Ireland for god's sake!

LeixlipRed · 06-04-2009 01:18PM

I agree. Hanging about Maynooth when you're not part of the college will just lead to bitterness and resentment of those who are. Get out while you can!

Aye. It's more a little test to see how long before it gets snipped. I put a max of 3 days on it, and we're late into day 2!

When I made the post, my sig was:

Me: Doing thesis
Winters: lol fail

Beau · 07-04-2009 01:02AM

why will it get removed?

banquo · 07-04-2009 10:56AM

See it now.

Thornography · 07-04-2009 06:51PM

Maynooth's an absolute hole,

The windiest, Coldest, wettest, most boring place I'v ever been to, Apologies for slatting the place but it really was the best decision I ever made dropping out of middle earth. Enjoy being free.

banquo · 08-04-2009 11:59PM

One of my best friends dropped out of college and it was the smartest thing he ever did. Makes a rake of cash now, the bastard.

*envy*

pisslips · 09-04-2009 12:55PM

I know it's not the reason why we go to college but having a degree definitely increases the probability of you earning more than the average wage.

Although you could question how meaningfull that statitic is if you consider that the average recipient of a degree would have above avaerage intellegence, so whats to say they wouldn't have earned more anyway?

Then you could say, well the overall mean wage has increased since we have a more educated population but then so has inflation.

banquo · 09-04-2009 06:01PM

I used to work in a newsagents with a guy who went on to get a 1:1 in physics from DIT.

He's back in the newsagents. Seriously.

BAHAHAHAHHA Thats brilliant

But where did you get that pic of me and the lads getting ready for history in the south campus?

That pic/caption should be in the 1st year handbook.

Whats this about? The guy has a part time job, so what!

I'm very confused.

newsflash: A guy ate a snickers in a Dublin suburb, he got 29 A's, interesting to see how far he came.:D

banquo · 23-04-2009 01:35PM

I got 29 As, as it happens.
