The other college thread I made some time ago has gone the way of the dodo, so here is the new college thread.
College is trite and asinine and we all have to take classes full of mongoloid idiots who are so mentally deficient we are afraid of catching the stupid/the ebonics from them via airborne bacteria. Let's all talk about that.

I thought it was absolutely rediculous that I had to pick a meal plan when I went to college. $5000 for a semester, I can cook my own food fuckers.
I also left college because the internet sucked. I specifically asked if they blocked shit before I got there and they said no they didn't. They lied. Two months in and I could no longer play Counter-Strike or get on AIM. So I left. Then I went to a commuting school. Probably ended up saving $20,000 just from meal plans.

It's a great place to make friends.
It's also a great place to get sick all the time because there's someone that smokes pot way too much and it reeks after a while. My roommate was gay, he constantly tried to "accidentally" drop his towel after coming back from the shower. It got to the point where I had to get up at 4:00, take my shower, and do shit for three hours outside of class.

That sucks.
I already have lots of friends here so I get to sit and home and smoke weed where it doesn't bother anyone and not have to deal with like 500 other confused morons living with me.
Also, you should seriously have just hit him with a stick or something the second time he flashed you because you have to teach people lessons quickly and harshly

Also holy fuck I hate one of my classes this semester
It's just too damn easy
I honestly feel insulted every single time the professor asks a question
And I'm supposed to be writing a paper for it right now, and I just can't, because it's so simplistic

I'll probably end up staying at home and going to the local community college full time for the next year or so
Get my gen-ed stuff done with for a bit cheaper before I transfer to a four year and get my computer science degree
I am just utterly disinterested in higher education
that makes me sound like a complete idiot, I know, but I am
I can understand this
I'm sort of frustrated after my first month or so now. None of this shit seems even close to college level
It's actually markedly easier than high school and the people are swine. I'm hoping I'll be happier if I switch over to English, though.
the same will still apply! the key is to find the things in the class that you like and focus on those
often times i'll end up just reading the whole course text, not just the assigned parts
Hopefully there will be more interesting English courses available once I switch out of Mass Comm, which I think is the biggest part of my discontent, since the school of mass comm is dumb butts
there is a graphic novel course here I want to take pretty bad though

I totally reccomend this
I left high school a year early and finished up at the local community college, and everything I did there was way easier, more relaxed, and generally better than what I've experienced at a 4 year college so far
It's a nice experience that lets you learn about college in a non-retarded way with incredibly minimal effort

It was the most disgusting experience of my life. I thought sometimes I was a disgusting pig. Woooo man, there are some really disgusting people in the world.

Oh right on college thread. It's 2am and I'm still up writing a stupid philosophy essay. I hate this class and everyone in it and am only taking it because I came up 6 points short and the department won't just be nice and waive it, despite the fact that it is less than a third of the points of a regular paper.
So, fuck, now I'm taking entry-level philosophy as the final paper in my degree. I left the essay till the very last minute because I had proper work on and now I'm pissed off at myself because I would really rather be sleeping.
moriveth maybe you should try a different area of study
and whats with all the people here doing sociology and psych and history and various other bullshit subjects
and not just here
but in general those subjects seem very over represented validated as higher education
they are also the same fuckers who camp outside the library trying to arrange protests while every other student pretends not to see or hear them
When I get bored in sociology, which is about fifteen minutes in, I just start writing about musics and such
And doodle little stick men rocking out in the margins
So it's like "yes this album is a great example of Ramones-influenced pop-punk" and off to the side is a little stick man going SQUIBBLY BOBBILY BOO

Also I tend to do a lot of stuff at school that takes place later in the evenings so I wouldn't really want to be commuting

I'm sitting in class listening to the professor drone on about stuff I don't care about and I am just boooored
of course I also might have ADD so that might have something to do with it
also, i miss college so much

doodle or something, that's what i do
and thus, i started my post-graduate studies! hoorah for six figure debt!
Anyway I do intend to at least try for an Associate degree in something
it's not really worth much but is markedly better than high school

LIGHT BEAR! RARRR!
It's just this class is structured so much like high school, with daily homework and completely unimaginative papers and shit
I totally reccomend this

I need to go to the job I got with my college degree!

I'm sitting in the school library right now, actually, finishing up an assignment before class.
Goddamn I hope getting back into the school rhythm won't be too hard, it's so nice being able to come home from work and not have more work
Yeah, I know, but man, there is too much shit I want to consider doing.
