Yeah I get financial aid so it's more like 10K. And Berkeley is a pos. It's overpriced, the classes suck, and I'd say that the people here are generally uptight and full of douchbaggity.

.I wonder how many other college freshman feel the same way?
Why should we believe you?
Here's a better question:
Why does it matter?
Be quiet, put your head down, work hard in school and let your actions speak for themselves.
Your job right now is to learn about the world, not yet to contribute to it.

I'm curious but how the hell do you make those designs in coffee, etc, etc? I've always thought they were cool as hell.
And my motivation for pulling girls? I have no motivation besides the fact that I like girls. If you're implying that Im trying to "pull" girls because I want to **** them then you're wrong and right, but don't make the mistake in thinking that I'm forcing people into doing **** they don't want. Theres a difference between going out and getting a girls number then just going and smashing her brains out. I go out and talk to random girls and if I think they're semi cute and not annoying as ****, I ask for their number to get coffee or dinner. I don't go out with the plan that I'm going to find a girl to ****. If however they invite me over to their place and they initiate **** and the girl is the one pushing the issue then I'm not going to back down and say hey this isn't right. I don't force girls into doing **** with me. In fact I rarely ever ask to go their place ( I don't think I have yet) they're the ones that do it. So before you go about being an ******* about **** stop and consider that not everyone has bad intentions. And don't act as if you don't want to go up to girls and ask them for coffee if they're kind of cute.
Secondly don't ****ing criticize my school decisions. I pay for my own education. Every penny of it. But when I'm paying for something, I expect an equal value return. So when I show up to a class that is supposedly supposed to prepare me for my major, thus the prerequisite status, I expect it to do just that, when instead I'm welcomed by a professor who just rambles about pointless things off topic every single lecture, don't expect me to waste my time. I don't need to sit there and waste my time if the professor isn't teaching. I also don't need the professor to regurgitate the whole book to me. Also I don't need to go to a class that I fully understand, for example my calculus series right now is a complete repetition of my AP Calculus class in high school. Should I waste my time going to that class if I understand everything? Or am I allowed to skip and go do something else such as the gym, or read on the grass field on campus, or talk to people? Apparently that's not the right thing to do. The UC system sucks balls. Berkeley is supposed to be the best public institution but it's a piece of ****. And so what I skipped a day to enjoy the sun after 2 weeks of rain and go on campus and talk to people. Give me a break.
Flippant college nature? I don't think so. I'm more mature than any other freshman you'll meet. I'm more serious about school than everyone else. I'm sorry if I have a strong grasp of what I want to do and that I handle my business and not lounge around like other ****s that go here. There'd be no way for me to prove that I'm not some douchbag kid at this point, considering the tone of my post now. If I was an ignorant kid, I don't think I would have gotten the internship I had after my senior year in high school. I worked for $18 and did investment modeling, research, budget proposals, etc etc. And not everything is study study study. I don't need to be some nerd that just reads all day because society dictates that you should get the best grades and get a job and work till you're ****ing 65. I have no intentions of ever working a 9 to 5 job. (I'm expecting a **** ton of negativity to this last statement about how I don't understand anything blah blah blah, save it.) All the people in my hall are anti-social and it drives me crazy. It's not my fault that I'm good at planning out my schedule, get my **** done then have plenty of time to go around have fun. College is what you make of it, and I have 4 years to have a good time. I'm not going to spend it inside on facebook all the time or just studying. **** that. I see what these students turn into.
And don't get butt hurt because I made a comment as to saying people don't switch. I really do feel bad that you took it so personally and had a fit. I meant it as joke. It's unfortunate that there's no real way for me to write jokes or statements with sarcasm.
Anyway. Make what you want of this. This is all I'll say. Seems like people are just here to call people out on ****. Mind your own business. I probably should have taken the higher route and just ignored this complete but my hard headness got the best of me. If anything that's the only thing you'll find flippant about me.
PS: Today I skipped another class <insert sarcastic tone there

Thank you all. Im super pretentious! I like the gifs you posted scrod. And idc. You all keep going on. Tmonk think whatever you want. I do me and my **** and that's all i care about. From now on I'll refrain from posting anything not bike related. And if I do, I'll make sure to call the thread "What people hate about invictus35"
Today I'm miserable staying out of the gym and off the bike. Steroids and shots don't mix well with working out. 3 days left

Today I talked to The BasedGod. He explained to me how "Based" and "God" combine into one word. He then turned to the kid to his right and asked him if he "eats a lot of *****. I eat so much ***** it's crazy." Then he did this while making slurping and licking sounds:

All the sqrls love him. Maybe because he's a huge black guy and they want something besides a skinny, preppy, and wimpy white kid. (not trying to be racist, but that's just the way it is where I live)

My bike touched down in San Pablo, CA today. I'm getting it tomorrow for sure.
Also came up with a better wheel build than previously mentioned. Sacrificed some weight for strength and aerodynamics. Time to start putting some cash away.
Same profile as Mavic Ellipse, Bladed spokes, 30mm deep. nearly 500grams lighter, and should be stiffer with a 24h rear, compared to Mavic's 20h. Also comes in around the same price point, $50 cheaper before labor.
Pretty much an improved ellipse clone. I'm pretty satisfied. Should get em soon enough.
