damn it meant /g/

BSU?

I slept my way through high school and ended up with an average of C.

Richard Hammond is a handsome man.

>>24782355

Yeah and that's why I was surprised I got into a University. I was preparing for an F, or maybe a D if I was lucky. Damn, that was close. Oh well, next semester I'll study harder.

We all read that comic. You're a huge faggot for pretending you came up with that idea.

>>24782452~
I never read a comic like that.

>>24782437
no, its just an old joke where the teacher doesn't know the student's name so they slip in their test and they have no idea which to give an F.

>>24782605

Fucked like the rest of /g/.

In other words, you're done.

>>24782507
So are prerequisites actually requirements where you live (in the sense of typically, or at least theoretically, being enforced)? Over here it just means "don't bother taking this course without that knowledge because you'll fail, but if you want to try it anyway and waste your time, have fun".

>>24782631~
Where I live you need to document having passed the relevant classes when applying. At least for public universities.

>decide to take philosophy
>read what we are supposed to
>take notes
>never actually study
>three tests determined your grade
>only passed because each test had an essay that I aced
I learned a lesson, fuck philosophy.

>>24782605
1) Can you make really nice (non-powerpoint) slides and sell yourself like a boss?
2) Can you master any piece of technology, from laptop to server, given two weeks and access to Google?
3) Can you develop with JS, PHP, or C#?
4) Are you good with helping people or translating their questions into actual technology savvy questions?

If you can say yes to any one of 1, 2, or 3, you'll be fine. The more the better. 4 is an asset but will probably put you on the quick list for the chopping block.

>>24782631
I had to get a formed signed by the professor and the dean waiving the requirements, along with a 4-5 page report on why I wanted to take the course.

>>24782783
oh yeah, I forgot one important thing.

>make the curve harder for people like you.

>>24782813

>>24782766
I had a similar thing, except I drank a lot of beer(usually 'gifts' for writing peoples papers, that weren't worth shit for dick) and had a social life for a 3.91 GPA.

4.0 was a goal, but I never actually got 100% overall except in courses that I really enjoyed.

>>24782783

Because he's better than you? haha, get used to being a pleb, pleb.

>>24782766

these people we refer to as "satan's cocksuckers"

>>24782692
1 - I can sell anything like a boss. That's what I do to pay my uni bills
2 - I could do anything with access to Google.
3 - I can kind of do all of those. Is it a bad thing that I have to Google most of it though? Probably strongest in C#
4 - People ask me for tech related advice all the time.
Not so fucked then?

>>24782766
>Be in school
>Teachers are patronizing
>I'm bored because the work is mundane and nonsensical (application wise; at least it seemed so then)

I have made more teachers quit than years I was in school... I'm not sure whether I should feel bad or not...

>>24782766

>Not socializing and enjoying college.

It is the best few years of most peoples lives, and you've missed it.
Hope the 4.0 is worth it. (It might be, I have no idea)

>>24782813
I loved doing this, waited until I got into a course with a bunch of slacker brownies(no offense intended to those who do actually work) then study my ass off for tests. Especially for linear scaling only classes.

>>24782877
what's to enjoy? I live with my gf. I get sex. You mean I'm missing a bunch of dumb frat boys yelling woo and drinking piss quality beer while I sit at home with my gf drinking aged Belgian ales from wine glasses, having sex, and expanding my knowledge while getting better GPA than you? Yeah, my life sounds horrible.

>>24782877

hahahaha this.

also, degrees don't mean shit. I thought everyone knew that. I mean, nobody in my field (network security) looks at a resume and says "Sweet Christ he has a bachelors in computer science he must know it all"

The reality is they look at it and decide you are entry level.

>get straight A's
>dean's list
>mfw a congratulatory letter
>mfw people who skip class to drink and smoke pot all day get scholarships while I get nothing
>mfw scholarships here are need-based instead of achievement-based

Feels wtf, man.

>>24782564
You're one evil fucker.

>>24782951~
>mfw scholarships here are need-based instead of achievement-based
That makes sense. If you do not need the money, why should you have it?

>Be in Human Growth and Development class
>Talking about transgenderism and gender roles
>Teacher just looks at me and smiles
>Burst into treats


Shit was awkward

>>24782932
>implying it's what you know when you're just getting out of college
listen, partydog. The job market's full of kids just like you who have perfect GPAs and are willing to be churned and burned for the chance at getting paid minimum wage in the industry. What sets you apart is knowing the nephew of the CFO or taking an internship at the company beforehand to get your foot in the door.

Congratulations on completely missing the point of college. I hope your degree makes good kindling, because it's going to be worthless in 4 years anyways.

>be forced to take materials science lab
>the labs are all on things we haven't learned

>Panicking before the final because I know I'm gonna fail
>Do nothing but study for four days straight. Seriously just wake up, study, and then go to sleep.
>Get 98 on the final which counts for like 25% of the class grade

>Professor let everyone make up homework they did poorly on, turn all my 60s and 70s into 100s
>MFW when I went from an "F" to an "A" with one exam

>implying I'm not already out in the work world
>implying I don't do it because I actually want an education

Feels good man.

>>24783076

You keep saying you like learning a lot in college.

What we're telling you is college education isn't all it's cracked up to be. really.

>>24783143
Yes

Have you been to college?

>>24783143
He went whining to administration.

I hope he gets a stroke or some shit; I was doing fine on that course until he showed up.

>>24783143
Yeah they can, they can drop you from there class

>>24783156~
No.

>>24783164~
>>24783162~
That is horrifying.

>>24783014
because kids who are given scholorships end up pissing it away compared to the kids who actually try, regardless if they can technically afford it.

ever read/watch freakonomics? some research group offered high school kids like $500 per grading period just to bring their grades to all C's or above, along with the chance at winning a big party and getting driven around in a hummer limo. the end result was something around only 10% of kids grades improved with such a large amount of money on the table.

if I had a $500 incentive each quarter to not drop below a C, i'd sure as fuck spend more time on homework. it may have had to do with the area, though. the school they did it at was a predominantly black district in new jersey.

>>24783162
Funny story

Last semester I hated my math teacher because he was a dick

He failed me

A week later, he was found dead in his home under mysterious circumstances

>>24783169
You should probably do that then

> Go to a private school
> 10 week quarters
> cram the normal 14 weeks of material in those 10 weeks
> don't flunk out so much as I changed majors and compared to public uni I can graduate sooner if I transfer
> all the C's get dropped from gpa
> start public uni with the same determination to get shit done right I need for private uni
> work my ass off for As
> get As
> find out everyone else got Cs or Bs for doing shit
> rest of public uni slack the fuck off
> get Bs
> mfw everyone else who slacked off got Cs and never anything lower

>>24783169
It's ok, I've acknowledged I can and will be screwed by everyone and everything.

That was the second course I got kicked off of because the teachers were cunts; got kicked off of a biology course because a teacher kept accusing me of having stolen a book I'd handed back in.

But it's ok, whenever I try to get anywhere and say they've merely held a grudge against me and have been irrational I get that shit about "teachers are only there to help" like they're altruistic fuckin' saints. They should tell that to the 2 pedophiles that got sacked from that college.

>>24783178
This is fucked up dude

There was a kid in the class above me in highschool

He got over 50 thousand in scholarships

The first semester, he flunked out and lost everything

>>24783076

>Bitter, hateful about other people having fun.
>Clearly lacking social skills, spends time bragging on anonymous boards.

Your life is gonna be shit and unhappy no matter what job you get.
Which is OK, because you're a dick and you deserve it.

The unfortunate thing is you'll probably be some poor bastards boss and shit up his life too.

>>24783179
wahahahahah~!

/g/ - LiveJournal

>>24783179~
I's considering it. I do not think I will have issues with teachers anyways. Teachers do not seem to get angry that easily.

>A week later, he was found dead in his home under mysterious circumstances
That was funnier than it should be.

>>24783205~
I guess teachers need somewhere they can exercise power.

>>24783206~
>>24783178~
Scholarships are considered loans until you pass here. Then some of it is converted to a scholarship. If you fail it remains a loan and chu have to pay it back.

>>24783215
>>24783271
that will teach him to fuck with me

>>24783271
Yeah it'd just be nice if they could leave me alone for a change. They can pick on and hate someone else for once; even though I do the whole "tough guy" act face to face I've had retrograde amnesia, twice, have diagnosed OCD, depression and anxiety problems and have issues at home.

They can pick on the smug fuck wearing £300 clothing for once and get off my case.

>>24783306
Wow dude

That kinda sucks

>>24783323
I know right. Oh well, I'm pretty much stalling for time now; I don't expect anything to come of my life so I'm just waiting til I go crazy enough to follow through with suicide. Fun times~ until then I'm gonna keep being slightly loopy.

>>24783343
You shouldn't do that...

Just get a simple job

I'm doing nursing right now, working on dat masters

>>24783362
>get a simple job
I'd go even more crazy if I resorted to something mundane. It's a little bit of a pity; circumstance can really shit someone up. I got tested a while back and got given an IQ of 154, technically I should have been one of the people influencing the world but fuck that shit.

>>24783383
Man, that's a tough situation then

>>24783405
Like I said, I'm riding it out. I can't be too far off of going completely batshit; summer is great for it. My OCD causes me to rethink events time and time again, so if I'm left to my own thoughts I repeatedly replay through traumatic experiences and damaging events - and I also play through various outcomes of those events (normally negative).

So I'll probably go whacky over this summer. Probably.

>>24783383
that's pretty awful circumstance
that being said, if you reeeeally want to change things then you can, it's just an enormous struggle

>>24783425
I am far beyond that haha, that's ok. Like I said, I'll probably go completely nuts and off myself before 2013; statistics have to come from somewhere right?

Could be worse. I could be cutting my wrists for attention.

>>24783456~

I used to enjoy anime but then made me sad when a series ended; eventually I came to realise it's not reality not an accurate reflection of it. There will be no magical friendship or companionship or a magical solution to the problem. I think it better not to delude myself with it.
