Graduation

5/23

So finally college is REALLY over, went to both the graduation ceremonies the 20th and 21st. The first one was horrible, the whole school one, where the speakers were bad, not interesting and very dumb. The second one was alot better, i really liked some of the things that were said. The individual name calling was pretty cool too. I can't believe all this is over now...

So i started playing poker again, i wont get into it much, jus that im really bad irght now and slowly remembering how to play. its a state killer for sure, especially if you're losing.

One of the most interesting things said by 3/4 speakers in the graduation ties directly into social dynamics. Millionaires and successful innovative people are extremists in life who stand out of the norms of society. With each reward from society for an individual's unique accomplishments, there is pressure to behave in ways that pleases society, which strays them from their radical ideals and lifestyle as extremists. A speaker said all the forces of society force great unique people to fit into the norms of the average person. Learn to stand out and do things different from society against society's averaging forces.
