DISQUS

The Cassidy Project: Back to School Fabulous!

  • Nancy · 1 year ago
    I was just checking out akacassidy.com this morning and thinking Cassidy hasn't blogged in awhile. Then I got the email! What great procrastination for the next 10 to 15 minutes :)


    And to top it all off, I have been dreading this week, for the same reasons. Everyone coming back to school and being done with vacation and clogging up my city! LOL I miss the empty streets already.



    As for the overly fortunate not knowing just how good they have it, that doesn't bother me so much. They are just going with what they know and us folks that had to struggle a bit more have the benefit of having learned to appreciate what we have. Our life lessons will take us a lot farther then their wallets towards finding happiness.

    Yep, buses are cluttered with backpacks over here too, again, therefore running even later than usual. I keep my backpack in my hands while I am on the bus. I hope Oliver does that too if he has to take a bus where he is. And I hope he doesn't vomit wherever, either.


    9th street... Hmmm... That must be about one of the corners where Cooper Union is, as how wiki tells me:

    Oliver may be one of the exceptions that are mentioned in the blog. He definitely hadn't it easy at least in the past 10 years with dad no longer around him. It wasn't easy for dad either. The article below (2 pages) shows Oliver got a scholarship, which, for five years, is double the figure for one year that is mentioned in the blog. Only the tuition costs are covered but dad has been paying support anyway.



    Dad will also send Oliver to see Cassidy shows and related. As you see, Oliver isn't 100% sure he wants to become an architect. Dad knows Oliver was good in computer graphics, music, and sports. Dad hopes Oliver will do what Oliver really wants to do in life, unlike dad managed to do so far:

    Little harsh eh? I was a student in the big city once.... and now I have aprox. 100K worth of debt. Isn't it a little Divalicious to be ridiculing typical 18-23 yr olds for being in your way? Sorry I can't write more, I am not unemployed, I have to work 2 jobs to pay for the education that you assume was just handed over. Word of advice, if you want to develop your own following.... try not alienating potential fans...

    LOL! People make me laugh I swear to God! It never ceases to amaze me how no matter what anyone says there is always some hyper sensitive freak who takes it personally. UMMM if you go back and read the blog "anonymous" Cassidy says that there exceptions to the rule...and that she is envious of kids who had it easier than her. The truth is, she's talking from experience of living near NYU....it's not fiction, she LIVES it!
    Maybe your two jobs to pay for your tuition (boo hoo) have you a little stressed out.



    I'll speak for myself when I say that if these so called "potential fans" of Cassidy's you speak about are the ones she is writing about in her blog...I'd rather not have them at her shows. They get drunk and monopolize the bathrooms vomiting.



    She obviously said there are exceptions to the rule for sensitive people like you...but you STILL got offended.

    Jeeze. Poor Cass, damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.



    Love,

    I am very jealous of the kids that can go to school and not work a day during their time there (approx. 4 1/2 years). haha How's that happen? I was also thinking of going to grad school in NYC but then I remembered, 'oh yeah, I'd have to pay for school and an apartment.' Then I just decided instead of adding all that stress to my life, I'll stay in good CHEAP ole' Ohio for awhile longer. haha :)
