I transferred out of marymout manhattan to SVA. I'm been in college for 4 years and will be an undergrad for 2 more years. Kill me.

rw i think the desire to murder undergrads is prevalent even among undergrads (im not going to make the virginia tech joke, but....)

i mean i hate like 95% of people on my campus. i go to a small school though.

dude there is definitely no shortage of people on my campus who spend a lot of time getting ready for class.

― jessie monster, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

there are facebook groups that have observed this fact

― max, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 23:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Group Info Name: Are You a Model? No Wait, You're an Idiot Who Got Dressed Up To Go To Class
Type: Common Interest - Self-help
Description: I wasn't aware that lectures were the best place to get dates. I could have sworn that it was a big room full of 500 college students so tired and/or hungover that they can't stay awake, let alone notice how you perfectly gelled your hair and got the collar popped at just the right angle, or how shiny your new heels are and how they perfectly match your stupid $100 wool poncho made from real llama hair. If getting ready for class involves more than zipping up the jeans you slept in, putting on the stained sweatshirt that was on the floor, and putting on a hat to cover your greasy and unkempt hair, please move back to Abercrombie Land with all the beautiful people. Let us uglies wallow in our filth without interruption.

― max, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 23:35 (seventeen years ago) link

but you know my grandparents didnt learn anything at college, and im pretty sure my parents didnt learn anything except proper drug etiquette, so my feeling is that there have always been a lot of retards going to school.

i mean really what's detrimental to the atmosphere is that like 900% of all people everywhere are either retards or assholes. its just compounded at college cause you see the same retards and assholes day after day, and hear their retarded opinions on books.

― max, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 23:37 (seventeen years ago) link

and see them date-raping each other at parties and filming their retarded film projects and crusading for their retarded causes and throwing up in my washing machine and stuff

― max, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 23:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I go to a fairly large state school that pretty much does not reject anyone who applies, so I know all about scads of dummays lowering expectations. I graduate next year, with grad school being like 1000 years away (need money).

i've been taking classes here and there at Greenville Tech (a local community college). i stopped going this semester due to illness. i will most likely go back in the fall, but who knows. i'm not sure about anything in my life right now.

― latebloomer, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 01:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate my fellow undergrads a lot less when I take classes at night.

my undergrad history:
2000: fall semester, get accepted and registered a week after classes start. Go to first two classes, never go back to campus. GPA: 0.00
2001: spring semester, go to first four classes, never go back to campus. GPA: 0.00
2001: fall semester: please go away for six months letter from university
2002-6: quit drinking/drugs, take a couple of semesters off here and there, work GPA back into almost 3.0 territory, find classes I care about (art, history mostly) but are ultimately useless because being a 'working artist' sounds both miserable and impossible, realize that I don't have any burning passion to own my very own BA/BFA in English, History or Fine Arts (probable majors whenver I get around to declaring again) but if I don't graduate soon I never will and then I'm fucked forever.

― milo z, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 01:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm just finishing up my first "year" of a 2-year master's program. i'm old. i got my BA 9 years ago.

I'll have a pretty much useless degree in Creative Writing this Summa...

― Colin_C., Wednesday, 25 April 2007 02:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I think last time this was brought up somebody said "I don't think I want all my friends knowing how much time I spend on a message board" and everyone tended to agree.

Colin, we'll be broke with useless Creative Writing degrees together! xpost

Being a Creative Writing major is pretty cool though. For one final project, I'm making a comic book, for another, I'm putting the finishing touches on a short story, and for my English Lit 2 class my prof's letting me do my final paper on the Sgt. Pepper's album (instead of some boring poem like everyone else)

Shit could be worse!

― Colin_C., Wednesday, 25 April 2007 02:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I am old and in college (again) picking up a third major - a certificate in nursing. In 2 1/2 years I will be able to take the boards and hopefully pass to become an R.N. I'm currently taking prerequisites for the nursing program I'm in (physiology, sociology and biomedical ethics). REALLY envying the idea of a creative writing major!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 03:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I am really getting ready to graduate. I'm seirously going to miss all the comfort and friends and lack of financial worries, but the homework is just too much, I spend hours fantasizing about travel instead of doing it nowadays.

― Maria, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 03:15 (seventeen years ago) link

sara that's awesome, though! i always thought if i ever feel the need to go back for something that will actually get me jobs, it will be nursing or med lab tech. blood diamonds, baby.

― tehresa, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 03:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks tehresa! I hope I don't hate it... I'm taking out loans to pay for school. That being said, I adore the other students in my cohort (there are a total of 30 of us that will go through the program together). And yeah - it will be nice to have a job where there are many options and schedules available. You should do it if you want to!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 04:48 (seventeen years ago) link

undergrad for about 2 more wks (tho i have nothing to do until then)

― impudent harlot, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:41 (seventeen years ago) link

nursing is A+++, especially since you can get a job pretty much anywhere and practically name your price. the country/world is in dire need of nurses. plus, you're not-so-secretly in charge

― river wolf, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I the oldest? Well, I have to distinguish myself somehow.

I have also (likely) been to more colleges than anyone. Five so far. I like collecting credits.

― aimurchie, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i've been to four, maybe i should finish up at a different school just to spite u

(You might not like my major, or my GPA.)

― aimurchie, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 07:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I think college is becoming more and more something you have to do, whether or not you are particularly interested in learning/your major, and I think that is kind of detrimental to the atmosphere. But then again it means people who care a little look really great and stand out so it's acceptable. To keep you out of the unemployment stats.

The fact that I can go back to pre-college maria threads, when I was posting from my third year makes college seem a long way distant.

― Ed, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 08:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Sophomore at Rutgers. I'm actually trying to write a paper on "Raging Bull" as I type this. It's not working.

I love it though.

― Stevie D, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I took the last two years off to work but I will be a freshman at UNC Chapel Hill this fall (assuming I actually get off my ass and send in my deposit before the end of the month).

despite the posts on this thread, I am looking forward to it.

― admrl, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello, creative writing majors. What a load of shit, right? It's like paying someone lots of money to give you a reading list and say, 'This is it. Oh yeah, you're gonna be great now.' Except a lot of people don't read the books or just aren't cut out for brooding and flimsy deadlines. So it isn't that good.

Hey Tape Store. Graham Hall, 1992.

5 years from now, you won't think twice about this test.

lol college is currently ;_; college

― Abbott, Wednesday, 24 September 2008 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks for the comforting words, PP. I think I knew most of the test, but I really screwed up my timing. So I think I lost a lot of points (btw, Graham Hall is being renovated this year, i think). And I'm sorry Abbott, but I think the '5 years' line probably works with you, too (even if it's not a test that's making school ;_;).

― Tape Store, Wednesday, 24 September 2008 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link

what grad am I even under these days?

And fudging one major test will not hurt you at all, Stape Tore. Esp the first test of a semester - lets you know exactly what you need to do on/for the next tests to get where it is you want to be. (You can use a calculator to comfort you.)

has anyone here in/recently in college ever been fortunate enough to be directed/allowed to livetweet class by the prof?

as a teacher this sounds to me like the most backwards-ass idea about what to do in the classroom and what to do when you're sharing space with a bunch of intelligent interested supposedly informed (if they did the reading) people that i can only hope the global warming catastrophe comes quick so that we run out of power to run smartphones
