Search Results: how to get her to learn

Do you think going to college is important?

Something I learned by going to college is that it's huge amount of money being paid for self studies. I learned almost everything from the internet and from studying together with my friends. Surprisingly many of the straight "A" students know nothing beyond the lecture notes, they memorize it then spit it on the exam papers. There are smart students I know who are not good with exams but they have practical knowledge and how to apply the knowledge in the real world, but they don't get recognition.

Seriously I had to go to college to realize that a degree doesn't mean much, and that there are too many smart-asses than actual smart people.

a couple months ago i got super super drunk at like 6pm and ended up in public all wasted. the cops were called on me and they picked me up. i spent the night in the sobering cell thing, and got a contravention of just 35 euros. It was in a little village in the country side. i dont drink often, like only a couple times a year. I didn't plan on getting drunk like that, or even going outside like that either.

half of my family thinks since i'm young (23) it's bad but it's not a huge deal, like it's something that can still happen at my age. and that as long as i learn my lesson and are careful to not drink so much like that especially alone, it's fine. The other half thinks it's really bad and i can't be left alone because of it. so now i'm being treated like a baby by those people for that one incident.

what do you guys think. is it super severe and warrents a 23yo being more controlled and babysat to prevent them redoing that or is it not that grave and they're old enough to learn from their mistakes alone?
