JR Smith enrolled at North Carolina A&T to pursue the dream of playing college golf and obtaining a degree in liberal studies. Now, he’s live tweeting his college experience, and it’s the funniest thing you’ll read this week.
Been up since 5am LA time working on my education assignments. One bad week will not spoil the semester. Lace your boots up put your head up and go to work. #StuccInMyGrind

5 a.m., ya say? According to our well-established time zones, isn’t that 8 a.m local? That would be the approximate time all of us arrived to campus everyday since we were in first grade. We can spare JR a little since he’s spent the last 15 years cashing fat checks without having to rise too early.
Either way, JR Smith’s timeline is pure gold. And I also make the claim that while it’s likely hardest to pass college courses when you’re broke and focusing on real life struggles — it also has to be hard to stay on task when you have the financial freedom to quit anytime you want. JR seems hellbent on getting this semester rolling so he can participate in college golf, though.
Can’t blame the guy since it’d be a bad look for Smith, of all players, to flunk out of his first college semester.
I have to learn howbto di a better job at taking notes. For some reason I have a hard time on what's important information. I mean to me it all seems important pic.twitter.com/bZIUyXCEDI
