Why I Dropped Out Of College

[Anonymous]

As of next Tuesday, I no longer attend the University of Illinois, here's why:

I Went to College to learn skills that will benefit me in the future...not to become some part of a useless "Socialist/Marxist" movement- My intention when I first started attending class was to learn radiology, so that I can become an X-ray technician later on in life. It would be a great career to have and my aspiration, since I was little, was to work in the medical field. However, on campus, I was constantly being bullied by other students becuase I had no interest in the multitudes of marches and political demonstrations that they partook in EVERYDAY. All I would do is respectfully decline any invitation to join movements I had no interest in and those same "classmates" would spread rumors about me and lo and behold a swastika would be painted on my dorm room's door the next morning.

Yes, it has gotten that bad. If you dare have a point of view that differs from the professors and their drones, you will be castigated against and socially ostracized with sadistic and zealous glee. Just remember, these are college kids, they will be our future teachers, business leaders (though capitalism is seen as an outright evil right now), social workers and politicians. Do you really think SAFE SPACES should have a plce in society?

I'll tell you all this right now, many of my ex-classmates are in for a RUDE awakening once they leave campus and join the real world. There are no safe spaces in the real world, their socialist-marxist ideals will collapse once reality sets in, and their liberal arts degree will only assure them a job at McDonalds flipping burgers for a living.

They need to realize that we're not all there to party or join the lastest hashtag driven social-political movement, some of us are actually there to learn. Those that are there to learn SHOULD NEVER be bullied and harassed and have their lives and safety threatened the way I've endured it, just becuase I didn't see the world as they see it. I fear that no colleges are safe from the madness right now, so I'm putting my dreams and aspirations on hold until the over-sensitive crybabies have either dropped out as well or graduated.

I guess I may be too harsh here, but I didn't go straight from high school to college, mommy and daddy didn't pay my way, I had a dose of the real world first, then plunged into the academic world.

I dropped out of college because I really reached my academic potential when in grade 10. After that more and more stuff just went right over my head. What I hate is this entitled mentality that college students seem to have. One person I know actually said to me that because I never went to college I will probably be earning minimum wage for the rest of my life while she is obviously going to be so much better than me. Fuck that! The same skills that get you through highschool are the same skills that get you through the rest of your life. I look forward to the day when I make as much or more than her and can rub it into her face.

The problem is college's make you take wasteful classes like the take writer said.

They don't focus on skills and tradecraft anymore, literally all just "acadeamia"

Some of it is legitimate, some of it really isn't...

The Narrative is the story that the SJWs want to tell. It is the fiction they want you to believe; it is the reality that they want to create through the denial of the problematic reality that happens to exist at the moment. And there is no one definitive Narrative. Instead, there are many Narratives, all of them subject to change at any time, thereby requiring the SJW who subscribes to them to be able to change his own professed beliefs on demand as well
SJWs Always Lie is a truism because you cannot make social justice arguments without purposefully omitting crucial facts. You cannot, in other words, be a social justice warrior in good faith.
[…] [When called out on a lie], instead of coming clean in one way or another, the SJW will instead double down and attempt to shore up his lies by concocting an even larger framework of deceit and misdirection to support them.
The 3 Immutable Laws Of SJWism
1. They always lie
2. They always double down when confronted with their lies
3. They always project

I don't know which campus you are at but I'm guessing its probably Chicago with having people around you that are like that. Sorry to hear you got bullied.
I just want to say that just because people bully you and don't respect your opinions that doesn't make the university bad. I know there not one of the best but still. I think its your surrounding thats need change like your friends. If you are there to learn just go to class and listen don't interact as of dorm you have to change it and find some good people to stay with.

I'm assuming you support Trump and this is why all of this is happening, I don't support Trump at hall because I'm a muslim and I don't agree with his words. But people should respect each others ideas even if they are right or wrong.

[myTake Owner]

I don't support Trump either, I support Sanders. I mostly got bullied because I'm not a feminist and I refused to join such a toxic movement.

[silentkid]

Lol my bad I'm sorry I got it all wrong. Wow that's just stupid how people can be like that for such a thing. They can't even show respect on ones belief.

Is this happening in Chicago or Urbana?

[Fearless_banana]

That's terrible. Your take pissed me off in a sense of what this country is becoming.

[JudgmentDay]

So what's next for you then? Will you attend a different school in a different place with a different environment. Because it sounded like that school's student body has a whole bunch of Grade A Assholes.

And I would totally agree on your comments of " their liberal arts degree will only assure them a job at McDonalds flipping burgers for a living", that is if they are ever actually even ABLE to find a job and an employer that is even willing to give them a chance, otherwise they are pretty much fucked either way.

[QuestionMan]

I'm still in university and I know exactly how you feel.
Leftist views are shown as correct while anything outside of it is racist, sexist, homophobic e. t. c.
My professor in psychology had the nerve to teach us about propaganda and then spread her own. Today I called her out after class for providing a biased anti-Trump view to the students when it is her job to be impartial. I provided her with evidence that Trump is against illegal immigration not Mexicans and how he had an overwhelming Latino support but she just called him a Nazi after she herself said Hitler needs to be examined carefully and not in a bigoted view.

There's an anti-semetic demonstration about to occur on my campus and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

It's all about blaming White people and Jews for everything. It has to stop.

[lightbulb27]

what college is this? Good grief. I went to a small technical college, mostly nighttime older students... and had none of that. but it is scary so many people are so one sided. But that is what happens when global economies collapse, which is what I'd say is going on under the hood.

[Walls_and_Doors]

So why drop out?

If you understand the hardships of real life you know better. You don't quit because someone drew a silly sign on your door. As a matter of fact you learn real fast in Corporate that you don't give two shits or a fuck what the office thinks of you since it turns out that your being a part of the machine is more important than anyone's attitude towards you.

[NatashaJ]

I think she should leave but I wonder if she complain about these individuals?

[Kylesar]

This is why I'm keeping to my interests. I have a group of gamers that I play with everyday

I don't give a shit about political issues, nor any of that feminist and SJW bullshit

I'm there to get my degree, then spend the rest of my life paying the shit off

[Anonymous]

That's silly to disagree with a professor. I knew before ever going to College that I was going to be spending four years writing essays out of my ass about how I completely agree with the ideology my teacher did (which was a lie I was almost always against what the teachers believed). I just did what I had to to get an A and it worked. They had no clue I thought they were stupid jackasses.

[rdneckczy05]

I agree 100% and actually experienced some of what you described. I worked full time while attending college full time and in 3 years I learned more from work and the people I worked with than any college professor could lecture. I

[MasterofPlebs]

I mean, I am a socialist and I'm privy to Marxism, but I never intended to go to College. It's a waste of time, money and resources and it's capitalist propaganda.

I don't know why you assume otherwise.

[PT1911]

That's why I saved all that nonsense for my last year.

It pretty much bolstered my GPA so that I could get a c minus in bullshit classes like those and still graduate

[Dred1614]

I feel bad for you. Being a conservative in college is difficult. It never got this bad for me, probably because I don't live on campus.

[BertMacklinFBI]

damn it really must have gotten that bad huh.

[myTake Owner]

It's gotten pretty bad, I know numerous other classmates who also dropped out due to the same things.

[BertMacklinFBI]

so it was an extreme form of bullying
