College is Amazing

The only thing worse than everything that happens in college are the people that enjoy college. If this is supposed to be the best time of my life, then I am going to blow my brains out.

I read the first page of this thread, and I thought I was at the fucking Jersey Shore. Bros are faggots.

so what i read is you like watching guys pee and vomit.

good luck with that.

Why the hell do some of you throw little hissy fits every time a discussion breaks out…as if we aren’t supposed to be discussing certain topics?

If you don’t like that a discussion about college breaks out…in a thread about college, why continue reading the fucking thread?

Why bitch and moan as if we aren’t supposed to talk about it?

This is a discussion forum, right?

Care to provide a detailed list of what we actually can talk about?[/quote]

I personally like the business/liberal arts/other majors who get butt hurt when someone makes a comment about how easy their major is (I knew people like that back in college too). I know a lot of people who couldn’t hack it in engineering with the amount of partying they did and when they switched to business are were fine and didn’t have to reduce the amount of partying they did (and in some cases increased it).

And moderation in partying is key - I used to really only party on the weekends since that’s when everyone was out anyway (and after 1 night of hard partying I was done for a week).[/quote]

Maybe it is not because Business is easier, maybe it is because Business has better teachers, I know for a fact that my business teachers (even the lower level ones) get paid more than the other teachers in other schools, and we have more funding, better buildings (we have a new business building which was donated to us by a private individual all the “hard” majors thought they should get the new building, obviously they can’t even figure out fucking logic), more scholarships, &c. [/quote]

You go to NAU? I know that business building was funded all on private individual donations which pissed off many of the liberal arts students, not to mention having some of the highest paid teachers on campus (almost 20% more on average from the annual salary survey then even engineering). The building also blocked our view of the peaks from the newly renovated engineering building when I went there so its kind of sore spot for us, haha. I’ve been in that building once and with all the screens, coffee bar, and open space it feels more like an airport terminal then a classroom building.

I can’t say anything to business except knowing that it was common for someone who either couldn’t make it in engineering or didn’t like it to fall back on accounting as a major. It was considered the safety net for someone with a decent math background. Plus they had a coffee bar over there.

My school used to be rated number 1 party school in the nation by playboy magazine. Only problem… that was like 3 years before i got here. now we are a “dry campus”

Oh, forgot to mention. My school has a 3:1 female: male ratio!!! So it definitely has its advantages.

Seriously, I’m never coming home. First night on campus and liquor pours almost endlessly, drunk chicks hit on me, I get to watch some guy projectile vomit down the hallway into an elevator, I play my first hardcore game of flip a cup, I see 110 pound girls drink like sailors with no sweat, people trying to piss in vases etc.

I get in at 3, get up at 6, head to class, do my work during the day, and go right back at it. Also, thanks to you guys, getting wasted and taking my shirt off gets me winks from the sorority girls, rather than getting pointed and laughed at. At this point, I dont’ understand how anyone could NOT want to go to college.

If u sleep 3h a night, drink alcohol everynight to get wasted. Im pretty sure the cheerleader girls have more testosterone and muscle than u do :slight_smile:

post your fist semester grades!!!

my first weekend at college a kid on my floor almost died from drinking, the ambulance showed up a couple more times the first month…

The OP sounds like he won’t be at college for long, and if he does make it through, he’ll end up with some shit prize-in-a-cereal-box type degree, complain about how the economy sucks and no one will hire him when he gets out. And the day that he DOES get a job, he’ll show up everyday with the mentality of doing the absolute minimum to keep from getting fired, then he’ll get fired, say that the boss was a biased asshole and end up working at a pac sun clothing store, make it to a managing position and pull $28k a year.

This mentality plagues a majority of our college students. Basically everything that was “cool” was based on drinking…uh, I dare you to fucking grow up? I dare you. You thought it was awesome to see a guy projectile vomit into an elevator? wow dude, wow…

this.

I work in a ED in a college town…the sad pathetic little fucktards fill our hallways puking, peeing, and shitting on themselves thursday through sunday.

the real pathetic part is these ass-clowns think it is “cool” when they wake up and are being helped out the door by their “bros” soiled with their own filth.

I especially like it when their all important friends ditch them in the ED to continue to party, and at 4am with they wake up their bros wont answer their cell phones, and they have to call mommy and daddy to come in from out of town to sign their worthless asses out.

mmmm…mommy and daddy sure are glad they took those second jobs during the prime of their lives when they could have been saving for themselves so they could put your dumb ass in college only to watch you party your already feeble brain into oblivion.

wow…

did I just say all of that?

lol what? I had to stop reading the thread after reading this jealous bullshit.[/quote]
It’s called engineering, putting in my work now so I can get my degree, have job with a solid salary and party a little more down the road when im in my mid/late 20’s.

and we wonder why this country is falling farther and farther behind in the global economy. I bet you the kids in India and China are “nerds” siting in the dorms on weekends studying their little asses off, pretty sure these “party-hard” soft headed American students will be asking those “nerds” for a job someday.

First off, its his first year of school from what I can remember. How important is your first year when compared to your 3rd and 4th? [/quote]

Very if you actually plan on an advanced degree or grad school. It may be worth nothing if your plan is a Mc Donald’s position.

This is what I keep responding to…the apparent idea that your first year can be screwed over and it won’t matter.

The OP seems to have a decent head on his shoulders after he explained more about himself, but some of these comments are still off.[/quote]

a lot if you are on a quarter system vs a semester system. one bad class can seriously fuck you and take a long time to correct in a quarter system.

Agreed over 9000. Don’t forget learning second and third languages so they can better compete in a global economy. There was a House episode where he says basically the exact thing about the foreign “nerds” that stay in the library all night and every weekend.
Here’s a funny Onion article about this very notion

Yes school is the only way to learn… And make money… Because the richest and smartest people all have degrees…

Well, if you want to play that card I’ll counter with the richest, smartest people (I’m assuming you’re referring to the Bill Gates/Warren Buffets/Steve Jobs of the world) all have one thing in common. They’re very good and knowledgeable in one specific area of expertise. They are also extremely intelligent/intuitive in that field. Now, regardless of whether or not they have degrees, they have a work ethic like no other which would translate into good grades had they finished their schooling.

Now, if EVERYONE were like Bill Gates/Warren Buffet et.al., then it would become mandatory to attain some form of graduate/post-graduate degree to achieve a higher wage/salary due to the fact that it wouldn’t be special to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet.

But, since not everyone is a Bill Gates/Warren Buffet a degree is required for most jobs. Shit I’d even say that most higher paying jobs require a post-grad degree. And I mean like executive jobs, CEO, CFO, MD, DDS…etc. I’d be willing to say that a fraction of a percentage point of the population would be able to perform duties sufficiently in these highly demand/low supply jobs without some form of extensive formal education.

And yada yada yada sure there are SOME people out there who have that ability, but like I said, it’s a fraction of a percentage point, hence these jobs are high demand/low supply…so unless you want to open up your own franchise chain store (i.e. make money off of someone elses idea, which I’m not bashing btw) which you could get away with running with associated degree level knowledge of economics/finance/accounting, a formal university education for x amt of years is mandatory for a laaaarge majority of the population…

No one would attempt to make a claim like that. But, the more educated you are the more likely you are to be employed and the more you are likely to earn. Bill Gates and Sir Richard Branson are outliers.
