I figured out most of these aspects of the academic game before I bomed out of it.



Yeah, academia... never was a fan.

A couple gems for life though, the bit about old age stuck out to me. I've learned that from my dad, who attests to having never thought about getting old and now spends lonely nights drinking himself to bed. Pretty depressing but very little anyone can do about it... Just know you're going to get old one day, you're going to die, and then get over it.


I am unfamiliar with the verb "to bome".


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bome "Verb, " I just Bomed that math test!" (Meaning you did a good job)"

Although based on context, I'd guess a misspelt "bombed"?


I think "bowed" is far more likely.
