So, long story short...

While matt smith was in college

matt smith made the mistake of

picking the wrong major

My Advice to You is

think before you pick a school

Here's the whole story

i dropped out of highschool and my parents gave me an ultimatum "go to college or pay rent." neither sounded fun but i didn't like the idea of working at a seafood resturaunt for the rest of my life. instead of giving a damn about my goals or interests i just followed a friend out to a small school in indiana without evening looking at their programs. i wanted to study history, turns out no history program. after 5 semseters of floundering i finnally setteled on psych because it was the path of least resistance. bad plan.

Yea, my buddy is a history major. Didn't really work out that well at all.

Yes, think before you act!

Too many of today's youth are followers. They must be empowered and encouraged by our leaders to blaze a path into the future unknown.

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me, and we will face the road ahead together."

I don't know if I got that quote right, but it sort of helps reinforce this lesson. Don't follow others. Think for yourself.
