Going to college to improve your mind

Going to college to improve your mind and your craft when you’re already set for life: You’re being a beautiful role model.
(Emma Watson)
Watch out for those crazy parties!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!! its not a win or fail or even somthing that makes me giggle HOW DARE YOU ROFLRARRI!!!
well then, YOU can FAIL for your lame-o comment. Go back to your Halloween candy.
this is ROFLrazzi ROFL being the significant part
Not so much with this one.
EWAdams makeing a preachy and lame “lol” better know as a lolame, and it somehow makeing it to the front page dispite the fact its not funny in any sense what so ever
Sometimes, this kind of “preachy” is needed.
Like now, when kids have barely-dressed, drugged out, worthless pieces of crap for role models.
No. This is not the place for it. This is the place where we make fun of the crappy role models. This stuff is supposed to be FUNNY!
wow really, I didn’t think that this would be right under the creepy look pic.
Holy crap, EWAdams has even infested ROFLrazzi?! Where will our suffering end!!
I lol’d at this comment. Does that count?
When you leave, sphincter boy!!!
So you haven’t visited PK in a while then? Apparently these are now propaganda sites, not comedy sites. Change with the times, dude
if she looked like susan boyle people would not car as much about her
Would they give a truck?
I see what you did there.
O Rly?
If she looked like Susan Boyle, she probably wouldn’t be in the movies, and we wouldn’t even know who she was.
and she be a lil to old to be in the harry potter movies as a kiddo
You obviously know who Susan Boyle is or you would not give a sh!t to comment.
Cause no one knows who Susan Boyle is…….. oh wait……
And she’s going to Brown no less.
At least she’s good at something, ’cause it sure as hell isn’t acting.
Do we know if it was her grades that got her into Brown? Because it definitely could have been her star power. Or the money…because we all know those little British kids made a freaking killing filming those movies.
she got top grades in her final school exams and a-levels, so i’m guessing her star power and money got her into brown.
Yeah – if she was going to Harvard you could be snarky, but Brown? Bit pointless going to Brown, rather than Oxford/Cambridge, isn’t it?
Her grades were, actually, perfect. So stop with the envy.
Well, WHOOP DE DO! Next!
Sooo gaaaaaay…
Watch it. I’m getting really sick of people using ‘gay’ as a connotation for something that’s ‘lame’ or ’stupid’, because they sure as hell are not the same thing. How would you like it if people were saying “That’s so heterosexual” instead?
I find this comment funny.
First, what does “Watch it.” mean? It sounds like a threat, but since the only think connecting you is teh interwebs, what are you going to do exactly?
Second, I assure you that very few heterosexuals would care if “heterosexual” became synonymous with “lame.” The reason is that most heterosexuals don’t define their identities in their sexuality like many (maybe even most, but not all) homosexuals do.
Please note that I don’t like it when people use the term that way either. I think it’s inconsiderate (but I don’t b!tch about it on blogs). And I’m not condemning homosexuals for defining themselves by their sexuality, I’m just pointing out the fallacies in your logic…your argument doesn’t really work.
Fail.
Get over yourself, the meaning of words change over time. The only reason you are finding it offensive is because you look to be offend. Gay does now mean stupid/lame or what have you as well as homosexuals. Look for the context and gain meaning from that.
You lame bundle of sticks and branches bound together.
Plus this isn’t funny, ten kittens must of passed on in some satanic ritual for this to reach the first page.
-wears black robes and standing over dead kittens- no thats not true…it was nine
Oh, cool. I’ll remember that for future sacrifices then, here’s me wasting all my money on ten when nine would do the job! Thanks!
N****r has two meanings as well.
I have have enough of these rolfrazzis about Emma Watson being a good role model. Aren’t they getting old?!
In all honesty I haven’t seen one of her being a GOOD role model. Quite the opposite. It’s a nice change though.
Yeah, I have always been under the impression that she’s a bad role model…something about interviews in which she has said that she wouldn’t mind doing roles for which she would have to take off her clothes…or maybe something about posing for Playboy…not sure.
Brown University Cost of Attendance, 2009-2010
$52,030- unless you’re “set for life”, you can’t afford to go there…duh.
But anyway…isn’t stuff on here supposed to be….funny?
Actually, if you can get in, they make sure you can afford it — that’s what places like that have insane endowments for. If you or your family can’t pay more than $5000/year, that’s what you’ll pay. Need-blind admission, need-based financial aid. Same with the Ivies.
Yes, college is expensive, but people’s attitudes towards the big-name ones is a pet peeve of mine.
There are people who get lucky but it is just so they can say they do it. You don’t honestly believe that the average middle income kid with good grades is going to be able to go there do you?
Well, no … there are a lot more of them (average middle income kids with good grades) than there are openings at top-tier schools.
Yes, actually. Major colleges like that have financial aid for everyone. Kids with good grades may get merit based scholarships and grants instead of need based ones. As was said above–if you get in, they make sure you can go.
That’s bull. Everybody can go to college. Community. Not 4 year, and for sure not ivy league.
Then they must have changed since I tried going to Penn State! I lasted two semesters as an out-of-state student before I ran out of money and had to go back to Texas. I had grants, scholarships, student loans and did work study, but still couldn’t afford to go to the college of my choice.
You’re out of your mind. I worked my a$$ off to pay my way through college, and got no help from the school despite having financial need and despite maintaining a 4-point-freaking-0 grade point average; the only help I got was from a Pell Grant.
Middle income kids get fcuked when it comes to college. Their parents make too much money for need based aid and unless they have a 4.0 or higher then they don’t get merit based aid either. Pretty much the only option they have is student loans.
Believe me I know.
Unbelievable. I got into both the Univsersity of Rochester and the University of Chicago. My “expected family contribution” was 5,000. So far so good, but I was offered practically no financial aid other than LOANS. Sure, I could have gone, but I would have graduated more than a quarter of a million dollars in debt.
UofR isn’t as well known or prestigious as some, but the UofChicago is and I was totally crushed that I could get in but not afford to go.
Maybe I’m the exception rather than the rule, but my school is actually MORE expensive then Brown (I believe we’re somewhere in the ballpark of 53k with room and board now? We’re the most expensive in my state and 8th or 9th most expensive in the US, for a reference point.) and I get a TON of financial aid. I was bright enough to get in, and they made it possible for me to attend.
I do have loans – are there many people these days who don’t? – but the bulk of my aid I won’t have to pay back. I pay the same amount, after financial aid, to go to my small, exclusive private university as I would to go to the state university.
At this point I would openly mock the American university system, but since the UK one is going that way as well, I will just hold a moment’s silence for the idea that it should be skill, and not ability to pay, that determines your future.
At this point I would openly mock the American and British capitalism-based morality*, but since the Netherlands are going that way as well, I will just hold a moment’s silence for the idea that morality is not about who manages to get away with the most money.
* The idea that capitalism is moral by itself, and doesn’t need things like funding for college or public health care to make it more moral.
I don’t know if you can really call her a good role model when she would get totally obliterated at the age of 15. And that’s not to mention some of the other “scandals” which may or may not be true.
Get a grip. Just because she got drunk when she was 15 doesn’t mean she can’t be a good role model.
Do you understand the definition of a role model?
One could argue that such things could be forgotten because she was so young, but it does sort of hurt her role model cred.
better than miley! or any of the recent teen role model wanna-be’s
I’m not entirely sure why actresses are role models anyway. They’re almost never good ones. Real role models should be important people in our lives, not movie stars and athletes.
Because parents need someone to blame for their failures.
Do you ever get out? I think she would be a great model BECAUSE she got drunk at 15. At least she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to drink…unlike you self righteous idiots. I can pretty much guarantee you’re American and/or in your late 30’s. So sad.
LOLOL Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
The thing is she got drunk at 15 and NEVER DID IT AGAIN, at least publicly. She’s learned her lesson and that is what really makes her a good role model.
wat
She learned her lesson not to get drunk again? Or learned to not get drunk in public? Because being drunk is SO not the sign of being a good role model, right? Idiots.
Well yes, it totally isn’t. Drinking alcohol is a normal thing, being waisted and acting like and idiot afterwards – is not.
Churchill wanted to machine gun striking workers and gas people he considered inferior. And yet somehow he is held up as a good role model for children in the UK.
Michael Feltz is held up as an amazing role model, despite his various indiscretions.
Everyone has parts of their past they’d rather forget, but it’s what they do after it – how they get on with their life – that determines if they are good role models or not.
Plus, to be honest, parents should not be using celebs as role models anyway. Despite the dullness, why not teach kids that going to work every day for 50 years, doing well at your job and raising a family is a laudable goal? Why teach them to want to be arrogant twits who get paid far too much for something that holds little point (footballers) when they can really make a difference in a proper, sensible job (paramedic, doctor, teacher, civil servant etc)?
“Churchill wanted to machine gun striking workers and gas people he considered inferior.”
O presume you’re referring to this incident? – “In 1910, a number of coal miners in the Rhondda Valley began what has come to be known as the Tonypandy Riot. The Chief Constable of Glamorgan requested troops be sent in to help police quell the rioting. Churchill, learning that the troops were already travelling, allowed them to go as far as Swindon and Cardiff but blocked their deployment.”
If so, then stop listening to Welsh Labour and check the actual facts, huh!
“During the General Strike of 1926, Churchill was reported to have suggested that machine guns should be used on the striking miners. Churchill edited the Government’s newspaper, the British Gazette, and during the dispute he argued that “either the country will break the General Strike, or the General Strike will break the country.” Furthermore, he was to controversially claim that the Fascism of Benito Mussolini had “rendered a service to the whole world”, showing as it had “a way to combat subversive forces” – that is, he considered the regime to be a bulwark against the perceived threat of Communist revolution”
Or, you know, look up more than a single source, huh!
Such as this :-
“I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.”
or this
“When in 1942 the popular Quit India Movement threatened to disrupt the war effort, it was brutally put down with public shootings and mass whippings, torturing of protesters and burning of villages, leading even bourgeois observers to make comparisons with ‘Nazi dreadfulness’. When in 1943 food shortages began as a direct result of British scorched earth policies, the War Cabinet ignored the problem, refusing to stop ordering Indian food abroad in the interests of the war effort. The resulting man-made famine in Bengal may have accounted for as many as four million deaths.”
But since apparently I listen to Welsh Labour, all the times Churchill proved he was an utter (insert your own rude word here) must be fiction as well?
And then in 1919 there’s this
“Churchill was particularly keen on chemical weapons, suggesting they be used “against recalcitrant Arabs as an experiment”. He dismissed objections as “unreasonable”. “I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes… (to) spread a lively terror” In today’s terms, “the Arab” needed to be shocked and awed. A good gassing might well do the job.”
Do you think that wanting using mustard gas on Arabs is a good quality for a role model? (I am just curious).
Or she could use it as a negative example: “This is what I did when I was young. This is what it did to me. Learn from my mistake.”
what really makes her a role model anyways?
how did she inspire you? went to college?
so did Ted Bundy…
You know who else was a role model in his day? HITLER.
Holy crap, I just Godwined myself!!!!! *chokes to death on irony*
no no. That was my force choke. I don’t like doing this, but it hurts me more then it does you.
Shes trying to improve her Richard Dawkins look.
cool story bro.
NEXT.
True, but not funny.
Weaksauce.
I think today already being set for life might be the only way to afford college.
hah, you may be right.
it seems that most people here think this pic is just stupid but how is it 5 stars, or unicorns, ITS AN OUTRAGE!
chances of her having a long career after harry potter: 5%
chances of her re-launching it with a sex tape aged 26: 95%
i think she’s a good actor but even if she isnt she would be able to have a long career after harry potter because she’s famous now and people dont care that much if she’s a good actor or not… as long as people pay to see a movie shes in it doesnt matter…
I’m pretty sure people used to say that about Mark Hamill & Carrie Fisher. Starring in a saga pretty much typecasts you.
Maybe the other two are the Mark and Carrie of ‘Harry Potter’ and she’s the Harrison?
Except both have gone on to play other roles. Rupert Grint was in a smaller name film, and Daniel Radcliffe on the stage. But, they are certainly more of a “Harrison” than she is. I don’t think she has really done much else except some modeling.
Mark Hamill actually HAS a career, just not on the acting field.
well in voice acting yes
And Carrie has her comedian circuit, as well as a lot of writing, both books and scripts. Not everybody prefers to stay in front of the screen.
Because Harrison Ford was typecast and never seen again………
Oh. Wait.
Hi.
Has anyone seen that kid from Sixth Sense? I seem to have lost him somewhere.
Thanks.
Peepers
HAHA!!!
The thing is she’s not really likely to come back with a sex tape… she’s always been astonishingly classy for her age. She’s also a nice, educated and broad minded girl, just read a bit about her.
Needs more sparkling vampire jokes.
Maybe she’d be a RELEVANT role model if she took out thousands of dollars in loans, worked fast-food, and went to a state school, before going on to her middle class career.
Relevancy win!
Um, what’s so rofl-ish about that?
Sure, she is beautiful. Not sure about the role model part. But this is suppose to be for funny things. :s
One could also argue she’s taking up a slot at University that didn’t go to someone not set for life.
yes, because learning should stop once you can afford not to work again…
Not what I said. Looks like you could do with some of that learning.
Education doesn’t only serve to make money.
Besides, she’s earned it with her top grades and hard work at school. It’s not easy to get straight A while you spend half of the term at work.
I bet it is pretty easy when it would be a publicity nightmare to be the school that flunked the oh so hard working actress.
Another un-hilarious lol from EWAdams. I suspect he/she has some cunning way of getting this crap voted onto the front page, possibly involving multitudes of ip addresses.. how else do they get through?
bitter troll thinks EWAdams wants to bone her brains out
Well his sparkling wit, charm and repartee should get him a long way in that direction….
and date rape drugs.
This isn’t relevant to your post or anything, but for some reason I read your name as ‘Kathy Bates’…
Windows has a magnifier for the partially-sighted. I’m not going to change gender: believe me I wouldn’t look good as a woman..
yes, because no other actors or actresses these days bother to go to college… not like natalie portman did this years ago or anything… *rolls eyes*
but she quit eating, and at least this girl looks healthy.
mental stability > having done it first
That was Keira Knightley.
Love this caption! I love Emma Watson!
you’re an idiot
She has long wanted to follow in the steps of Joe Paterno and Summer Roberts (the only two Brown alums I can think of… and one is fictional). Also, I find Emma very nom-nom-nommy.
I predict Brown University is going to get a lot more applications in the coming few years, however ill-conceived.
I think she’s cool and a good role model. I’d rather have my little niece like her over Miley Cyrus. At least Emma doesn’t annoy me.
I approve! Go smart women!
you are an idiot
woo!
HhhHAHAHAHAhhaha hahahha
hoohgioohoohoo hehhe hehhe hahah
ho hahahahahaa
.
holy crap this is funny!
.
hahahahaha hhhaaaaaaaa omg i gonna peepee haha
heheheheh hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
.
so funny cant breath
.
hooooooooooooo hohoho hahahahahoooo
you are an idiot
cry more, little girl
Crap, I seem to have stumbled on ROFLBARF instead of ROFLRAZZI this morning
Reads like a mastercard ad though, “school books: ₤1000. Brown University fees:, ₤12,000. Deciding to go to college even though you’re set for life? Priceless’
Wish it were relevant, true or interesting.
I met Emma Watson once.
She was horrible, like nearly every celebrity is, sadly.
Or maybe you’re just prejudiced, like every non-famous person sadly.
Apparently (according to a fair number of reports) she is somewhat diva-ish and I have heard the words “spoilt little madam” used quite a lot as well….
She is indeed. And beautiful and classy too, but that’s a completely different topic.
If I won the lottery, I’d quit work and go back to college so as to get that graduate degree I always wanted.
Would this make me a role model too?
What is the problem about Emma being a good role model? Compared to other teen actresses, she is. And our society tends to idolize those people.
Just because this didn’t make you laugh does not mean that Emma can’t be a role model. I think she is. She’s set for life. But she’s smart – she got top grades on the A-levels- and she wants to better herself, by getting a degree, and learning. I think that sets a good example. That’s what a role model needs to be – someone who sets a good example.
Emma also has the added role model feature of having a GIGANTIC fan base. All that money she has came from the fans making the movies so popular. People DO look up to her, so be thankful she doesn’t act like Miley Cyrus, or Britney Spears.
You be uh idyot
1: parents should be role models, not actresses.
2: Do you know what ROFL stands for? “Rolling On the Floor LAUGHING”, not “Another Preachy Dumbass Caption”.
3: you uhidyot.
4: Anyone who looks up to her has Fail as a mother and Disappointment as a father.
5: No one gives a crap what YOU think a role model should be, this is ROFLrazzi… See the ROFL? See #2 above, idiot.
You, my dear person, are the “idyot”. For one thing, you can not spell “idiot” right (well, it took you 3 tries). For another, your logic is crap.
Wow, you didn’t catch on that I was intentionally misspelling idiot, even though the sentence I used it in was “you be uh idyot”?
I guess I don’t need to point out that you, too, are an eedeeot
AGREED!
THIS. This is exactly what I wanted to say.
top grades on a-levels? how much does she pay for that education? if she was going to a none private school and still getting those grade then i will say your right but my sister and alot of other people who i know have been going to free schooling her whole life and still coming out with grades like that,
like a older comment stated you have to be “set for life” to afford that schooling
lastly this website is ment to make you lol but even if she is a good role model this still should not be here
“lastly this website is ment to make you lol but even if she is a good role model this still should not be here”
Winner! Someone understands the idea of laughing.
I laughed. I think it’s funny. No particular reason why, but I did. Not everything has to make everyone laugh.
You do NOT need to be set for life to go to an Ivy. Money helps. But it’s not necessary. If you have the grades for scholarships, you can get them, if your family has a low income you can get grants.
Emma Watson achieved those grades going to school part time and being tutored while filming. And good grades take brains, without them no amount of money can buy you a grade.
I would also appreciate that any insults be directed at me, not my parents. I do look up to them, and they are not involved in any drama you choose to create.
Did you read what you’re replying to?
Yes I did, I replied to all the replies that had been posted to my original comment, in one condensed post.
This is a comedy site. From the latin verb “comedius”, which translates as “intended to make one laugh”.
So when you say “just because this doesn’t make you laugh” as if that is a defence, I think you’re missing the point of the site and therefore entirely not getting why this is a pretty crap picture for this site.
bitter troll slept with her before she was famous
She was famous at age 11/12. Are you quite sure that’s something you want to publicly admit to?
So, since this is a pretty mixed debate over how good the “lol” is, I join the side that this is a good, not necessarily lol, one. Go ahead, make fun of me and my stupid points, but she IS being a beautiful rolemodel!
You and your points are stupid. ROFLrazzi.
Your definition of ROFL is not the only one, my friend. =)
Could you stop being so passive aggressive? =D
I am not trying to be aggressive, I am merely pointing out that people have different senses of humor. Excuse me for trying to say it nicely. =(
Nobody move! The funny seems to have been lost or misplaced from this “lol”. Hey Stan, check over there under that desk. I know the funny is around here somewhere!
I like this. Really, Emma Watson is a great roll model. It’s hard for me to believe she’s not much older than me.
Obviously a lot of you goobs who are saying this isn’t funny (for obvious reasons, this doesn’t need to be funny. Yes, this site is ROFLrazzi but even LOLcats has some pics that are more serious than funny) or that it’s gay (gay used to mean ‘happy’. Now it means ‘homosexual’. What are you trying to convey here?) needed a roll model like her and didn’t get one. >:P
You are dumb.
“roll model” harhar
says the person who says harhar
Who the f–k left this lol Mrs. America?
Oh come on… this person is just getting their point out. Emma is a v good role model which most actors/resses aren’t. Especially not while they are still teens!
I like it.
There is no need to start insulting people you don’t know and if you do it’s only through this. No matter how stupid their comment may be.
This person has a habit of getting their unfunny points out. Most of the time the points they get out don’t even make sense. They’re a plague on what should be an entertainment site. Click on their name, you’ll see. They create puppet accounts and vote their material up constantly. I’d IP ban them if this many people complained.
EWAdams has too much time on their hands.
ISN’T THIS WEBSITE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY AND NOT SAPPY
EWAdams is the anti-ROFL.
*sadface* Then why did this go through?
Lol. She was slippin’ out her situation DAYS after her 18th birthday. Pretty good role model >_>
aw, emma’s alright.
Vi suki doviyobivaetes’ pizdanu nogoi v shey’u.klassnaya chika,kto protiv-poluchit pizdi!
