Occurrence usually coincides with various economic "bubbles" where cash seems to be overflowing everywhere. (See also: "Irrational Exuberance") "Now that Time Warner has officially divorced itself from AOL, don't you think they have at least a bit of builder's remorse for that huge hunk of new rock in Manhattan?"

| 7. | College | ||
|
4 years of digging yourself into a hole of debt that you may be able to escape in 20-30 years. Classes are about the only interesting thing in college. The people are usually stupid, spoiled rich kids who thing getting drunk on a Wednesday night, MTV, rap, drugs, alcohol, fraternities, sororities, and lame ass parties are the neatest things on the planet. Earning a degree is considered a gateway to a higher-paying income bracket. But in this economy, who knows? -I can't earn my degree from college any sooner.
-Most college students seem to be considered useless by the rest of the general population. -Why do people seek to prolong adolescence in college anyway? |
