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.

    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 dorms at my school aren't bad

    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

    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.

    the same will still apply! the key is to find the things in the class that you like and focus on those

    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 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

    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

    Seriously, I am quite used to my classes being easier than high school, that's totally not much of a problem

    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 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

    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.

    Ooooh I'm in a bad mood right now

    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
