Dear Mom and Dad

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am writing to you today to let you know that college is simply not for me. I don't like it. Its hard and long (jeeze guy mind out of the gutter) and its cold right now. I think me and my friend Sean are moving to Jamaica to be rostas. Its always warm there, and there is a beach and a jungle that we can live in free of charge so that will be good. Back to the dropping out thing. School sucks with all the work and the confusing hoops you have to jump through and the early mornings. If you would allow it, I would like to stay here at school with all my friends, I just don't want to school anymore. I'm thinking about winning the lottery so that I will have enough money to live. Its a long shot, but if it works, then I will be able to do whatever I want and not even go to school. Think about it, if i have money and a lot of time on my hands to ponder things than at least I can be a senator or representative if I decide I want to work 2 to six years at a time. If that doesn't work then I'll just be the governor so I don't have to pay for anything. Its a good game plan I know. Let me know which idea you like better, the rosta, or the senator.

Love,
Adam

Dear Mom and Dad,
Maybe you should sit down for this. I have spent several of minutes of contemplation on the john, and I have decided that maybe college isn’t for me. I don’t like doing work, I’m not very good at any of it, and I despise waking up early with a passion. There are certain aspects I enjoy though. I like the parties, all of the good looking girls who strut around campus like they are made of gold, and all of the opportunities to make fun of authority figures. It’s just that I cant stand all the work. My decision is this: I will continue to live with my friends in this college town, and continue to go to the parties, and continue to laugh at all the police who think that going 5 mph over the speed limit is a felony, but I will discontinue my time here in the classroom.

Sincerely,
Adam
