The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

Degrees are super overrated anyway. Stay at home, hoard games, profit.

That's what I've been doing!

Funny, I seem to have no money a lot of the time.

Well, see, there's your trouble... you gotta SELL games to make a profit.... This is why I'm also perpetually broke.

If I do eventually decide to buy anything back (and it's a very big if) it'll be a 360 and/or a PS2, and I'll only have a few games at a time. Not going to go silly and stockpile them again.

You're not even keeping the 360? I'd definitely keep that, or the PS3. But the 360 is better.

Age 5: Primary school
Age 11: Secondary school
Age 16: College or 6th Form
Age 18: University

I heard it was different from actual University but does it counts as a secondary school or a real college?

It depends. If Plan A comes to fruition, practically EVERYTHING I own has to go. Otherwise I'll be looking at Plan B, which won't be anywhere near as exciting but will allow me to keep a few more things.

Fuck selling everything, I'm sure university places let you have a TV and an Xbox 360, yo.

Typically you study A Levels there, but a lot of them offer various higher education courses as well, for example two year Foundation Degrees that let you join the final year of a Bachelors Degree at a "proper" University afterwards.

OIC, thanks for clearing that up.

Shit, I think my phone can go on eBay as well, there are a couple of Mozarts going in the £150 range. £10 cheaper than what I paid for my phone a year ago.

Well, the thing is I want to avoid taking out loans if possible. I'm going to need all the money I can get my hands on. I can always buy stuff back at a later date if my budget allows, but getting a place of my own > video games at the moment.

Pizza.

Ah yeah, student finance sounds insane.

Priorities.

You have them wrong.



Seriously, thank you for pointing out what so many people have trouble realizing. As much fun as it is to play video games, or watch movies on your giant ass TV, or listening to music on your superior sound system, or to drive around in a brand new car... they aren't a necessity. People need to realize that living arrangements (as in... actually having a place to live) and education kind of have to come first, before all of the "niceties" in life.

I heard the fees in England have gone to insanely high levels.

I enjoy running my hands through my cartridge collection. It's a good feeling.
