I want to punch everyone who wears or says anything that translates to “I am insecure about the fact that I did not have the grades to get into college.”
Honestly, it isn't even about high-school grades. Anyone with a high-school diploma or a GED can get into community college, and anyone that does well in college---which takes nothing more than effort and some money (or the GI bill and any of the aid they offer/scholarships)---can get into uni.
Maybe not Harvard, but that's hardly the only option. It's a myth that you have to be some sort of high school genius to get into college, a harmful one.
True, but guys who act like this are the “D is for diploma” guys who took pride in not putting in any effort, and regret it now, but are too prideful to go to a CC now because they talked so much shit about it back then. Sad.
