Just Because I Don't Volunteer Doesn't Mean I'm A Bad Person
Who the Sh!t Came Up With This Volunteer BS Anyway
Ladies and Gentlemen, If you don't volunteer, your the spawn of satan himself (huh, funny, while the supreme being is argued to be either a man or a woman, it seems no one has any beef with satan being said to be a man. I'm not religious, I'm just Anti-Feminazi). Apparently the fact that I work my butt off at school (95ish average), and hold down a part time job (where management can never find anything bad to put in my evals) counts for sh!t when it comes to scholarships.
Goodness No, I don't VOLUNTEER. Well for fvcks sake, when the sh!t am I supposed to find the time to do that?
Lets say I decide that I'm going to clean up my already horribly disgusting act, and go volunteer at the hospital, entertaining kids in the emergency room, whose over protective parents think they're dieing of the cold. Alright, so I'm in this room putting on a little show for these snots when I could be at home studying, to improve my grades, or working, so that i can afford the gas I've used to get to the hospital. What happens? My grades start to slip, and I'm out of the running for scholarships in an academic sense. I've got no money in the bank, and I have to go into debt with a student loan of some sort. Sort of counter productive isn't it?
So in essence I've gotten myself into a little Catch 22. I can go to school, do very well, have a part-time job which pays tuition, but not be recognized or awarded for working my a$$ off (recognition helps when getting a nice job). Or, I can volunteer for the food bank, and distribute boxes of KD to teenage mothers who just spent their welfare checks and mother's allowance on a 24 and a bag of weed; watch my grades slip, not get a scholarship, and go into debt.
Get rid of this volunteer Bullshit. Don't judge how good a person is based on how much of their time they give up for free! Choose people that should get scholarships based on their grades, or financial need, and when you can't decide based on this(say there's a close tie), call the people in for an interview. Sometimes pretty flowers grow from piles of shit.
Peace Out.
Stupid has become an officially recognized minority by many first world governments
