College. Yeah, it's definitely not for everybody and I learned that the hard college is one of those things that you gotta take your time with and really decide Do I want to go because I certainly did not bro. I've been through two years of college so far and it's trash Today we'll talk about some of the things that I learned in college and how you can avoid being a dumbass like but anyways It all starts with picking your mate You really have to understand what your interests are and why you're picking this field and I did absolutely no research on the

classes I was taking and if I really wanted to pay the money for this and just if I would even land a job if I fucking did this major. And yeah, essentially this was me picking my college major. But when I'm picking a song on Spotify, bro, I'm really locked in. And if you decide to go to college, do not do what I did because I just conformed to the norms as I thought like that was the normal thing you do. There I was shooting the shit when I was picking my major. But anyways, I'm sure a lot of parents out there have told you about the college experience. It's a

time of your life you'll never forget. But man, I'm gonna be honest with you, bro. That shit's straight ass, bro. Oh my God. But nah, it's either hit or miss really. But for me, it's fucking terrible. College is stressing me out, but I need to get something off my chest. You know, I've been working on something for a while now and it's about time I reveal it to the public. I just launched my brand new brand, Bird Gang. We're launching...

For new limited designs, we have one super subtle classic design. Since Bird Gang is about the community, y'all should follow the Instagram where you guys can give me design ideas and I want to communicate with the people who appreciate the finer things in life. Like for example, nature, money, and memes. Like who doesn't love Peter Griffin?

And I'm really happy that I get to share this with you guys because we're going to be launching items on a regular basis. You know, some custom items and some new designs coming soon as well. Also, since y'all are the goats and you watch this, there is a 10% discount code for this week only. Use code birdgang and get yourself something nice. Join the gang. Join the family today. So go to birdgang.shop and visit the store. Follow the birdgang IG if you want to see what's in the works. But anyways, back to the video.

A lot of kids at my college just like to party, smoke and shit like that. And I don't know, I'm not really about that too much. And you know, I like to do those things occasionally, but bro, every weekend is insane. I'm not going to lie to you, bro. And I guess the reason why people call it the college experience is because people look back at those times as like the best days of their life. Why would you want to peak in college? That's what I don't understand. What is the point, man? Come on, like.

Look, you have a lot more life to live than four years at a fucking college. I mean, make the most of it, but just know like when it's over, it's over. You got to move on. And now when I first went to college, I was nervous as shit. I'm sure a lot of you that went, y'all can agree with me. When you first went there, you were nervous as shit. You were shitting fucking bricks. And it was a true mystery who your roommates were and who you were going to be living with for the entire goddamn semester. Now, I didn't have bad roommates, right? But

Dude, the dorms were fucking shit. The bed quality was so ass man. I was quite literally sleeping on a stone slab I would wake up with the worst back pains in the state man, like literally every morning I would get up like Shit

It was not pleasant, dude. I literally felt like an old man walking around. But don't even get me started on the bathrooms, bro. Oh my god. Like, I'm trying to understand, like, what is this foul atrocity that I gotta goddamn shower in and brush my teeth in every single damn day?

I made an entire video on college bathroom. Every single morning at goddamn 7am, I'd walk in with like the worst must imaginable hitting my nose. Like I'm surprised my nostrils just didn't take permanent damage and were just not shriveling up at how fucking bad it was. The amount of boogers on the wall, barf in the showers, dookie and piss stains on the toilet, and even

goddamn s*** in stains, bro. Not even a single bodily fluid was left behind. Oh my god, it was f***ing disgusting. And honestly, I don't know what was worse, that or that one dude that would try to talk to you while you're taking a shower. Like, respectfully, bro, our goddamn meat sticks are hanging out. I'm not trying to have a philosopher-ass conversation right now. But of course, after that, I would go to class and it

Up until this point, maybe about two of my classes actually had something to do with my major. I was trying to figure out like why I was even here. Like every morning I would go to fucking history and biology. And I was like, what? Like, what the fuck? This has nothing to do with my major. And I was over here learning about cell anatomy. Like, what in the fuck am I even gonna do with that information, bro? Like, I'm just gonna be on the side of the road one day. Like, ah, fuck, dude. I got a flat. And I'm just gonna remember, oh yeah, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

That shit is gonna forever be stuck in my head, isn't it? I'm gonna be honest with you guys. Majority of college is just filler. When you get to class, at least it's a little bit better than high school. You can leave to go to the bathroom and shit like that, but they still take attendance at my school and they have a phone rule.

I thought colleges didn't take attendance, but whatever, bro. It's insane that like, if I just check the time, some of these teachers will be on my ass like it's nobody's business. And there's also a laptop rule as well. We can't use laptops in class, which makes no fucking sense. Like I'm over here trying to cook up mid-class and then my teacher calls me out for having my laptop open.

But I guess I'm supposed to be paying attention or whatever, even in the stupidest classes that I'm never gonna use again, like fucking history. And of course we get work outside of class and hell, that's why I'm cooking up mid-class so I don't have to do it later. I can just cook up on YouTube instead. But sometimes we begin whole-ass projects to do outside of class, on top of the knowledge we already have to remember for the tests. It's a fucking pain in the ass to deal with, I'm not gonna lie. But you know what guys, we get to be in groups!

Yay Groups group projects who doesn't love group projects? Yeah, fuck group projects, dude I was left to cook up most the project by myself, bro My team didn't even spawn in until the last day like we were supposed to be a team bro But and then they finally spawned in literally the day before it was due like how

we supposed to get this done now like come on this is definitely gonna be a video in the future for sure but anyway speaking of groups classmates and like that some of these were the most atrocious drip of all time like how you about to spawn in with the schrocks and feel confident wearing that if i wore that like look at them they're so stupid how does a shoe have a nose that is insane like i wouldn't be surprised if i saw a dude walking around in a full

in a full ramen noodles tracksuit wearing the big red boots but that's just the type of characters you'll get when it comes to drip man it is all over the place or you'll either see people wearing the 3d hoodies and now this doesn't really occur often at my school but i did see somebody wearing the shrocks i'm dead ass about that but then after class was over you'd walk your ass back to your dorm and you had three different options shit bro i'm kind of hungry maybe i should eat

Or fuck, dude, this assignment's due in like two hours. Maybe I should do it. Or I could hang out with a friend for an hour, then do the assignment. You chose option one. You were hungry and you wanted some eats. So guess what you do now? You go to the local school cafeteria. And that shit is some straight dookie ass buns on a fucking plate. Like how are they even serving this shit and calling it food? I had a piece of chicken on my plate one time that was so goddamn hard, pause, that I couldn't even cut through.

I thought through it like like it was like a fucking rocks like how long have they had this sitting there for like I could imagine like they just dump out the leftover chicken from yesterday ah we'll serve this for lunch tomorrow it's all right they just let it sit there for hours that's probably what happened to be honest with you but dude I paid a lot of money for this school

bro. I should be at least getting some top notch, top quality eats. You know what I'm saying? Like for the amount I paid for, I'm expecting like some Gordon Ramsey level ass cook, but God damn, is this shit expensive? But yeah, man, that's why I have you guys to thank. Cause dude, I don't even know where I would be like,

Like, without you guys. I'd be living in a fucking Detroit alleyway or some shit. Now, a lot of people like to hang out with their friends and get involved on campus and do stuff like that. Now, I'm not really too concerned about being the most popular guy at campus, getting in all the parties, because I know that YouTube will open a shit ton of doors for me. But a lot of people love going to parties, and that's where the Greek life comes in. And now this is coming from somebody who tried rushing a frat. It was probably one of the dumbest decisions I've ever made in my life.

Because I almost gave up doing this birdie channel to do that shit. So I wouldn't even be here right now if I got into the frat. But anyways, I'm so glad that I did get rejected. But I did actually go to a college party one time. While I was rushing, I got invited by the frat to go. And I'm just gonna be honest, it was just mad. Like I literally just smelt goddamn vape fumes in the air the entire time. We were packed in the goddamn thing like a bunch of sardines. And my dumb ass brought a

backpack and that shit got stolen. I had to go outside to breathe clean air, bro. It was terrible. And a lot of you probably like, dude, why were you even at the party? I was just getting tons of pitches. You know, man? No, the fuck I was. My phone drier than the goddamn Sahara desert, bro. I'm in the longest goddamn drought in the history books. I don't even have a single girl's phone number, Snapchat, Instagram, whatever, bro. Just straight cornfields and tumbleweeds.

That's about it. Sometimes when people get to college, they think, oh yeah, man, I'm gonna go crazy. Dude, I'm bringing girls back every single night. It's gonna be the greatest experience of my life. Then you'll ask just scrolling on your phone or doing homework or you got a friend over because that's all that really happened. That's like in a once in a blue moon type of thing. Like that doesn't happen often unless you just really got it like that.

I don't know. Like, I'm just gonna keep it a book. I get no girls, bruh. So most nights, I literally just spent lying on my phone the entire time. Then it was time for bed. I would go on my stone slab and go to sleep. And then I would remember at 2 a.m., my body would jolt. I have an assignment, dude.

The late night cooks really hit different. I would get up and just start cooking that bitch up and then turn that John in at 6 a.m. And I'm like, oh, fuck. Looks like it's time for class. Pulling an all-nighter in college is pretty common. I've done it a few times to stay up and get shit done because, I mean, sometimes I just really have to or else it's either that or I get a goddamn zero. I'm not trying to do that either. Then it will really be a waste of money.

Then I just sit there, first five seconds into class, head hits the desk, and I'm out for the fucking count. And a lot of people might be asking this one question about college that so many people ask: "Should I drop out of college?" And a lot of people want to drop out and pursue other business or career endeavors that they got going on for themselves. And honestly, props to you, 'cause shit, dude. I'mma be honest, I lost a fuckton of money. And I'm- I just feel like I'm stuck there.

Like, I mean, I feel like I have no other choice. You feel like this career, whatever you have going for you is going to be really stable. Then by all means, go for it. Cause, cause think about it this way. You can always go back and college is always going to be there. So why not give it a shot while you have the chance? But for me, I decided I'm going to finish college early. I'm going to be done in a year and I will officially be a full-time YouTuber.

I don't want all that time I already spent to go to waste, so fuck it, man. I'm just gonna thug it out. Want more videos to watch? I have an entire playlist of videos just like this right here.
