Hey Dude,
Seriously, you need to rise above this crap.
I let myself get severely depressed in university, going from program to program, getting caught up in all the bullshit. Letting it all get under my skin.
Now I’m 26, with a degree in “physical education” and my best job prospect right now is being a personal trainer at a corporate fitness chain.
Now I am seriously considering going back to college or university to take something serious and employable like an engineering or engineering-technology program (since my GPA plummeted after becoming depressed and I probably won’t get into any engineering programs right away – gotta go the transfer-route).
My worst nightmare first coming out of high school was to wind up as “one of those ‘losers’ who go to school until they’re 30”. Well, I let the crap of the college/uni environment get to me (there is ALWAYS crap in EVERY environment. Family, work, school, everywhere.) I rushed through trying to get “out” as quickly as humanly possible, and now I gotta go back if I want to make something of myself and this life.
Anyways, here are a couple things I will be doing differently once I’m in my new program:
-
As mentioned above, scoping out the various fraternities and figuring out which one best jives with my personality and will best set me up for success. Where are the serious, success-oriented people who will support me and who I can support in return? I didn’t know that “serious” frats existed until after I graduated. Just thought they were all just ways for dudes to get together in groups, drink, smoke pot, screw around, and waste time.
-
Deliberately getting to know the instructors/professors from day one. Figure out what makes them tick. What do they expect from assignments? What do they want to hear? What are their personal interests and biases? Figure them out, give them what they want, and they will reward you.
-
Appreciating the school for the opportunity it really is, and appreciating the fact that I’ll have found a program that suits my personality and goals.
I spent 6 years hating university and eventually doing whatever it was I could to get out as fast as possible. Now, I have no choice really but to go back and do it right.
Don’t let the shit get to you. Figure out the system and exploit it to your advantage. Don’t get caught up in all the crap you can’t control. Just keep your head down and work at it. Work the system and succeed.
Good luck,
ElbowStrike

Words to live by. I made the mistake this semester of fucking with my professor, after he tried to be cocky with me in an email, granted he’d have to break some rules to fail me, because I have over 30 assignments with a 100, and nothing else, but I can tell by the tone of his responses that he just doesn’t like me now.
I have the desire to go to med school, so knowing that I still have quite a few more years to go isn’t really inspiring, this semester in general makes me want to die. Gotta rise above it, go pound some skanks.
I thought college was the land of skanks and open squat racks! Don’t tell me it’s all a lie!

which is why i suggest every highschool-aged male on here to join the army and make them pay for them to go to college at UA.
i try andy, i try.

Banging a lot of girls is more a product of my job (and I’m assuming yours) than it is me going to school though.
You know, looking back on it now I wish I had joined the military so I can at least make some money and do something productive while I figure out what I want to do with my life. But Alas…
smoke blunts and fuck bitches
stop fucking whining

Good man. I also had an amazing time at ASU and picked up 2 degrees from there. Just learn to balance the books with the bitches. Partying at ASU is a 24-7 option and I knew too many people that couldn’t find that balance, and therefore academically suspended after 2 years. Go to class, schedule your studying and then you’ll have plenty of time for fun.
As you approach graduation, give me a holler. I’m more than happy to help out my fellow t-men and vixens. Speaking of which - to all you current college students, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of networking (and I don’t mean myspace.)
I thought college sucked.

This is my fucking biology teacher.
I think you all would hate college as much as I do if you were in shoes.
I’m in a dual enrollment program between a Community College and 4 year public Uni. It’s a program that allows to take transferable classes at 1 for alot less while working on your Junior and Senior ones at the other.
I’d tell you where I go but it doesn’t really matter. 4 year commuter school and community college at same time.
I pay for school myself between loans, and scholarships.[/quote]
You like football?
Some people don’t even get to college because of maybe financial reasons; be grateful that your doing well and able to get a further education.

I hate college right now I have to read an article by some asshole about his perfect world. To make it even dumber he does it “I Have a Dream” style. It covers the typical jack assetry of all sociologists by saying girls and boys should be the same, fat people should love themselves, and even one where he says "Inmy perfect world mens relationships will go beyond drinking beer and watching the super bowl. (either he’s gay or has dad issues) College can be good (BUT DO NOT TAKE SOCIOLOGY CLASSES)[/quote]
rofl, that’s the other aspect that sucks about college-very little original thinking going on. I don’t know how the professors cope with it, it’s like every student becomes a cliche(more so than HS). There is the overly defensive evangelical, the low intelligence lib who writes sociology papers like that one, the students who are borderline retarded but are let in because of the district they came from(MSU is real bad like this, a ton of kids from Detroit schools who are probably at a 7th grade education are running all over in obnoxious clicks), ahh dang OP is getting me down.
I think the reason why there is that lack of original thought is because the pace of learning is too fast. You don’t have time to do anything but assimilate the information and then move on to the next bit of information. There isn’t enough time to really explore the material and it’s implications(thinking about sociology here mostly). Also, sociology classes are all lies, because they introduce you to subjects that are very nuanced and hotly debated within academia without the nuance and the debate going on. But sociology can be a cool subject if you do some reading on your own, social construction of reality and all that, social epistemology, it’s some very fascinating stuff that answers a lot of questions.
The paper pissed me off so much I wanted to right a response to it. “In my perfect world all women would be hot and have huge boobs and wouldn’t be fat.” “In my perfect world there wouldn’t be any pansy asses like whoever wrote that shit”
Oh and the professor of the course "I don’t care what STD’s you have seriously WTF!!! Why would you tell your students that.
