In my physics class we basically have a month to ready a 5 minute presentation about anything we want, as long as we can show how it's physics based. The course is essentially over.
my friend wants to make a gun that shoots donuts so we can shoot donuts at people while we talk about the math explaining where the donuts will land.
I want to do something about sound, but I don't have a solid idea.

Update, my college ready GPA shot up from a 3.3 to a 3.35
Yay.
I wonder if I can get letters of recommendation from famous people that graduated from my college . . .

brown note oh wait no that's conspiracy theorist bullshit
attach a sound generator to your dick and spin it around while explaining the doppler effect

Finals starting next week. My 85 in Comm 1307 shot up to 92.5 somehow, so I'm worrying about my final in that class. Also Geology is gonna be a bitch since the test is going to be 100 questions over 2 chapters we didn't learn and everything else over the semester.
Top it all off with a writing assignment I'm forced into a group for Geography. Half the people are barely pulling their weight and it's a shared grade based on how much info our teacher has to edit the entire product. That's gonna be loads of fun considering we had to have it finished today and won't have it finished until next week. (And I did my part and part of somebody's job to boot.)
at my school every senior has to do a year-long senior project
this runs from say, ~300 page anthropology papers to full student-written, -directed and -acted conversions of Ibsen plays into full-length operas with corresponding theoretical essays
They were due on Wednesday. Today, the seniors slept. Tomorrow, Spring Fling begins.
it's going to be a crazy campus for the next few days

Dear god, what school do you attend?
Bard College, liberal arts school in upstate New York
That wasn't hypothetical, either. Friend of mine was an understudy for it. Senior took When We Dead Awaken, turned it into an opera, wrote out an orchestra's worth of music (performed by students at our Conservatory, of course), wrote out lyrics, acted out by student Opera majors, conducted by a student conductor at the Conservatory.
Not everyone gets so out-there with it. One guy I know is doing a 450-page post-structuralist fiction-work-cum-literary-theory-treatise, which is pretty tame (if weighty) -- another girl actually wrote a three-part post-fantabulist YA novel that's all about subverting tropes of gothic fiction in an "all-ages" friendly kinda way. Then there are oodles of photo shows, art exhibits, gallery openings, dance shows -- it's really an awesome time of the year, there's so much incredible totally-student-run stuff going on every night.

Goddamn group projects. Normally I'm the guy who does the extra work, but there was this one project where I was the slacker (though that really wasn't my fault. We were supposed to find some unknown short story, and do some sort of creative project with it. My group was like "Hey, let's take this book by this Spanish author and translate it into English!" I'm like "Uh, I don't speak Spanish," so they tell me to just do a biography on the author. Unfortunately, all the biographical info I could find on this guy was, of course, in Spanish -_- so one of the girls pretty much did all the translating for me and, as such, did most of the biography writing as well).
thankfully they've gotten much rarer since leaving high school
It's nice when you get, like, one partner, and you can pick them, and no one else is fighting over either you or that other person, and they're someone you work with well
So, like, once in a blue moon a group project is both fun and productive
I hear horror stories about group projects all the time. At least as a history major you don't have to worry about other people for your projects. You just have to worry because your indentation was too large and so you lose 5 points and ARGH.
I have a "group project" this semester (which is due on monday), but it basically entails "type out a several-page paper about something related with the class, and then meet with the other group members while putting everyone's paper into a vaguely relatable theme; if you want to i guess."
It gives me a break from the other research papers I've been working on this semester along with the perpetual struggle of learning elementary (ancient) greek.
I don't actually know that I've had a proper group project
my Buddhist Thought & Practice teacher loved sending us all off to read in small groups, though. Not a bad idea, but it was a 100-level course and so filled with people from all different departments, and we were all generally coming at the readings from totally different angles as a result. When it worked it lead to some interesting conversation, but a few of the reading groups just really did not yield anything.
I bet I'll have some group projects when I get my hard science requirement out of the way. urrrrrgh stupid hard science, being all good for my thinking but still a big ol' pain

No, our "group projects" are much, much more frustrating.
Our partners are dead, only told us a quarter of the story, and lied about half of that.
