I'm not suggesting that anyone should not go to college. If there is something that you want to learn and college will teach it to you and/or there is a career you want that can be gained through college, then by all means you should go. That just happens to not be the case for me.

"...from the time I watched my first frogbrothers video..." is what I heard. Frogbrothers. Their last name makes so much sense now.

*snicker, snort*

All unfunny puns aside, I was just talking about this to a friend, and I completely agree. And my conclusions are exactly the same. It's a difficult thing to explain to someone who's never experienced YT, but it's altogether true.

Thank goodness for YouTube.

@eversinceimmortal "frogbrothers" is what I said. That was entirely intentional. I'm pretty sure I stole that from Lauradoestheastro. I don't even know if there's a joke behind it, I just heard her say it once and thought it sounded funny and decided to use it.

Oh, and thanks.

I've actually found it kind of hard to make friends on youtube, however it was rather easy to make good friends at college. I think it also depends on the university you're attending and the people you're surrounded with, the type of people you were surrounded by aren't the type of people you would prefer correct?

[thepeteris]

@ThatOneMuggle Correct, that's kinda what I was saying. That I prefer youtubers over other people. But I'm not so bold as to say that youtubers are actually "better", I think it has more to do with the setting. People are trying to show a creative side of themselves much more than they do IRL, and that's a plain on which people are much more interesting and appealing to me.

that 'thank you' meant a lot.

[thepeteris]

@fecklessman I honestly could not tell you exactly who or what I was thanking, or why. It was just the right thing to say.

[eversinceimmortal]

@thepeteris Hahahha. Wellll I feel like an idiot.

It IS funny. I love it.

I tried watching Vlogbrothers up until the point I discovered them... That was this September. I only got to Dec. 17th, 2007 (Project for Awesome). I should get back on that.

This is extraordinarily sad. What you said is true — except nothing is face to face on youtube. You're interacting with people, but through a computer.

you remind me of charlieissocoollike :)

I always liked Snape even though he was really mean. And Alan Rickman only made me love him more.

@jpurney I have more than enough opportunities as is. If I felt I had anything significant to gain by going to college, than I would.

[fecklessman]

@thepeteris that doesn't make it any more or less meaningful.
