A post-secondary alternative to college or university. Trade school is often a two-year degree with small classes and hands on training. This is achieved by rolling admission and allows for excellent student/teacher ratios.
An excellent choice for students obsessed with one certain interest, trade school rejects the college "well-rounded" approach and instead masters one specific topic. Like art school, these students often build portfolios to show potential employers, making them more desirable candidates.
The best part about trade school is the living situation. Since most of these schools don't accommodate students on campus, they live on their own in the real world. This allows them to get a jump start on their college-bound brethren who live in the artificial "bubble" of college campuses.
Due to the unprecedented amount of college graduates, the job market for them is extremely competitive. Not so much for associate degrees. Jobs such as electrician, plumber, carpenter, mechanic, and gunsmith will always be in demand, not to mention that they pay pretty well too.
It truly is the "working man's education"

The interesting looking red impressions made on your butt/leg when sitting on a textured surface for a long period of time.

We sat down on the pool deck and listened to our coach talk for 30 minutes. By the end, I had waffle ass from the tiles on the floor

Pop, hip-hop, and sometimes rap music that is about a person's unusually strong sex drive. Typically sung by a rich African American who utilizes autotune and excessive bass to forge talent. This music comes in 'generations,' which last about a month and result in 5-6 poon tunes being played constantly on the radio, then are totally forgotten. Also known as "koon tunes."
Song in question is a poon tune if it contains or is about the following words: girl, tonight, shorty (shawwwty), fine, body, bed, <insert sexual body part here>, club, dance, baby, love

A rare phenomena when the same song is playing on two or more radio stations simultaneously. Can be very irritating when searching for good music because it usually occurs with the latest generation of pop or poon tunes.

When you are expected to support a girl you really like while she searches for a smarter, richer, or more handsome boyfriend. There is little you can do to get out without feeling like a dick. All in all, one of the meanest things girls do, whether they mean it or not.
Kayla told me we were just friends when I asked her out. I told her I couldn't bear to see her find someone else so she shouldn't call me again. Saved my ass from the friendzone.

A legitimate, worthwhile journey for your parents who refer to the "college experience" as a rite of passage, a time to grow up, a time to meet new people, and a time to discover your passion. It is also described as "the best time of your life."
Nowadays, the "college experience" is one of the biggest clichés out there. Modern colleges are artificial bubbles on the map that do not in any way mirror the real world. Most people are self-absorbed, liberal douches whom you'd be better off not meeting.
The women (a largely perverted stereotype) can be either good or bad looking depending on the college. However, they form cliques with other popular people and you will never get a shot. Your only chance is to find one good and drunk at a sleazy frat party, or be good looking and have some serious game.
When you do discover your passion (hopefully sooner than later), you will likely discover that it can be achieved at an easier, cheaper college or trade school. At this point, any rational person would drop out of their current hellhole.
