OP

Pick 1 or both

Trascript with timestamp or GTFO.

If you take a bullshit degree course designed for stupid people such as yourself then of course it's going to be easy.

Maybe try doing an actual degree of a hard science in a decent internationally accredited university and try telling us that again.

You know what makes me lol?

The fact that you're still in college. Fucking kids.

>mfw I'm majoring in Humanities and minoring in Geography

>mfw studying is highly necessary and the workload is insane

>mfw OP is a retard

Yeah college is easy as fuck, only retards don't know how to pay attention and finish homework

Thought I was the only one OP

I found college hard as fuck. But I find social interactions to be slow paced and boring, I'm certainly above most of my peers socially. I can read people's emotions and personality types without actively trying/thinking about it.

College could have been really easy if I wasn't in a fraternity, didn't live on campus, hated people, and studied.

However I would say college is really hard for that exact reason - balance of activities. If you didn't have to balance anything, you fail at college.

it makes me lol that you all go to college

Yes Op, I'm sure your gender studies class is pretty easy.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

>>1077209

Gonna call bullshit on this one, and even if it is true you need a lot more than grades to get into Harvard.

OP is probably still in 1st year, where everything is easy and no work is needed.

If he keeps this attitude hes gonna drop out sometime in 3rd year at the latest.

The moral of the story is, it doesn't fucking matter how hard you work. Beyond a point, it's all either innate ability or sheer luck that determines your grade.

You obviously don't understand differentiating Major requirements and workloads.

Clearly OP has never studied a science based degree. Though I completely agree with him/her if it is some shitty degree like business or sociology or whatever. You people have it way too easy.

I know this is a troll, but I can agree with the test thing somewhat. If you need to study for countless hours and sweat in anxiety over exams, you wasted a lot of money paying for classes. I'm not saying I never study, because I do, it's just that power-studying seems meaningless to me.

>>1077101

Please take a STEM.

Some backstory:
At my university classes are broken up into categories based on the subject.
Class one - Medicine, Law
Class two - Science degrees: Maths, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, etc.
Class three - Everything else

You can probably see how the university population is dispersed through this list and what level of grades are required.

Listening to first year class one student complain about how easy everything is is hilarious. Listening to first-year class one students complain about how *hard* everything is is even funnier.

You are paying to learn, not earn As.

>>1077690

Try getting into medical school with that mindset then, boyo.

>>1077612
I agree. I never revised for more than two hours a day, not for GCSE, not for A Levels and not for my mid-terms I guess you'd call them. It's just a brainfuck after too long. I'm only in my first year doing CompSci, finding it okay, the programming is kinda tricky but it'll probably come to me in time. The rest is pretty..not easy, but once you've wrapped your head around it, not that hard.

>>1077781
> I'm only in my first year doing CompSci,

See, that's why.

>>1077612

Post your major and school, or what you said is irrelevant.

Hey, 4chanfags, you know what makes me lol?

When you faggots say that you are struggling with GAY SEX. GAY SEX. The easiest shit ever. It fucking amuses me when I hear someone say they spend hours struggling to hit up that "perfect" man, or "stretching" (which is completely unnecessary) your ass beforehand.

You know why? Because gay sex is fucking easy bullshit. I finish all of my blowjobs in the hour I start. I don't scrimp on tongue action, I don't leave out the balls, fuck, half the time I even include a finger up their ass. I never have to stretch my ass out because a. I'm not fucking straight and don't need to make the long and difficult "journey to homosexuality" you retards have to and b. All gay sex is bullshit based on intuition and common knowledge.

Basically, what I'm saying is, half of you probably have a sexual disorder and should probably be better suited to making a living fucking women than having gay sex.

AND I STILL GET ALL BLACK MEN.

>>1077806
I understand it's going to get harder, but seriously, too much revision in a day is just pointless. You can only absorb so much information/go through exercises in a day. Your brain needs a fucking rest. Revising for ages at a time is something I've never been able to do anyway, and I've found it suits me.

>>1077831

Do you revise during semesters or during testphases, like 2-3 weeks before the actual test?

Because if you're doing former, you're actually doing a lot of work compared to most others..

>>1077101
God, your college sounds like shit. Try going to a school that cares about their student's grades sometime.

>>1077851
2-3 weeks before the exam, excluding continuous assessments through coursework and the like. Granted some days I may not feel like doing anything at all, but then the next day I try to make up for it by maybe doing an extra half an hour, or more "full on" revision.

>>1077879

Sounds like every student ever. Including myself.

>>1077101
Community colleges don't count sorry. Try going to a real university.

>>1077897
Then again, there are some people who can just know things and not have to revise, whereas I have to work and go through stuff to understand. I hate the those people.

Engineering grad here.
I pay attention in class and do all the homework/text book examples. Revision is just skimming over my notes before a test, not trying to learn a whole semester's worth of work for the first time. Cramming last minute does very little for you as you will remember very little of what you cram, and even less after the test is over. If you're problem with uni is that you suck at cramming, then you have missed the point.

Unless of course you are doing some fluffy degree, like business, or something. I took a class in management once, and it got to the point where I could get get drunk while writing papers. I even upped the anti by getting my flatmates to give me quotes that I had to include in the paper somehow. Piece of piss.

The funniest part is if you're an American, you won't get a job regardless of your major.

If you're not in school purely for learning you shouldn't be in school at all. All engineering degrees should be on the guild or master/apprentice system. Your work is menial and your minds are base.

College is very easy. I did fine and I didn't even read anything I was supposed to.

The workload is what kills people though, not the actual content.

Technically every mathematical truth can be learned through intuition.

>>1078083
Did you read my post? I work my ass off in my engineering classes.

I'd tell you what schools I went to, but you'd never believe me anyway.

Political Science and Sociology fag here. OP's tripe really only applies to liberal arts. I certainly couldn't pull off any of that shit when I was in Computer Science. Shit was HARD. Only a few basement dweller shut-ins who do nothing but code could get by without busting their asses there.

Once I switched my major, it was a piece of cake, save for like two professors who were fucking hardcore, and even then I eventually got good enough at writing essays that I didn't sweat it too hard. However, most people struggled even on the easy classes for some reason that always eluded me. I don't even consider myself THAT smart, and yet people were getting C's studying for hours while I would give less than two shits about studying and get A's. And this was at a third-rate university, by the way.

So yeah, if we're talking something like business, sociology, or english, and you're struggling, then you're either in the wrong field and don't care for it, have absolutely no time for school, or are just plain dumb. But do NOT compare those fields to math or fucking computer science. Shit WILL kick your ass unless you're a genius, have done it all before, or otherwise bust your ass studying.

>>1078191

You only said you pay attention do the homework and nothing more.

Except for skimming over notes.

Go on, tell us your schools.

>>1078169
Intuition can get in the way for really abstract concepts. The arguments I've seen between professors and first years because the first year thinks they have it figured out on their own.

Intuition, especially false intuition, leads to inflated ego. Ego is the last thing you want when you are trying to learn new concepts. Kill that shit.

Enjoy your public state uni OP.

>>1078220
I'm using intuition in the older sense, I guess. They're all truths which are not grounded in experience is what I mean. Given a sufficiently smart person, they could "intuit" the entire coursework of a mathematics class.

>>1078244

Out of curiosity, what did your CS course include? Mine consists of programming Java atm, gonna move on to other languages eventually, modelling which is logic, functions, sets, whatever, concepts which is history, number sets and conversions through x base, circuit gates, assembly language, and then there's professional issues which is ethics and whatnot, moving onto software dev.

>>1078217
I do every exercise in the textbooks when I can and every exercise covered in the classes/homework. I skim this work before a test. Skimming means rereading it all and redoing anything that wasn't clear the first time. Unless your lecturer is a jerk, there isn't going to be any new content that hasn't been covered in class. How is this hard to understand?

>>1078263
>Unless your lecturer is a jerk, there isn't going to be any new content that hasn't been covered in class.

Actually there is. It's called problem solving you fucking idiot.

>>1078277
It's only going to be an extension of the work covered in class. If it's unexpected content, how do you study for it?

>>1078249
Keep thinking that junior.

>>1078261
I was only in it for three semesters before I NOPED the fuck out of there, but they started us off with C++ from the get-go. I have a friend who did stick it out (and is struggling hardcore and failed a class this past semester), and he's taken Java, some Assembly, web programming, data structures, and other shit.

I always tell him I respect him hardcore for sticking with CS, because he considers me to be smarter than me, but I didn't have the balls to try to make it work. It just wasn't for me. I would fall asleep in all the classes because I found it so thoroughly boring.

It's easy to follow during lectures because the content really isn't any difficult.

With the baisc medical sciences there are two classes of student who do well. The majority who do well are intelligent, but need to memorize and practice over and over to get the correct facts and relationships burned into their brains.

The second, smaller (but still significant), group actually have a natural acuity for these applied sciences and recognize the patterns at a basal level so it feels more like "intuition" (even though it was learned, just with less effort). These students still need to work relatively hard, but not to the level most people ascribe to the pre-medical or medical student. Thus many of them overstate how easy it is for them, because they are still spending so much less effort and time than their struggling classmates. There are people who party multiple times per week in the second year of med school while still pulling top 25% or higher grades. I know from personal experience.

>>1079837
To clarify... OP is clearly either trolling, in a truly shit-tier social science or humanity, and/or just grossly overstating just how little effort he put in, but there is definite variability in how much effort students presented with the same material will need to put in, in order to get an A result.

>>1079837

You've got this everywhere, son. In every field.

>inb4 you belong to group 2

>>1077101
>somebody goes to community college where the professors must dumb everything down for students from public schools

>>1079871
yeah, so slow learners will tend to be more likely to bitch about the hours/effort put in (with any field, as you stated). Many fast learners tend to not be able to imagine not getting things as quickly, thus the potential frustration and exaggeration from OP and the people fully agreeing with his self-congratulatory douchebaggery. There really are those guys who can get all As without using the textbook, but 99% of them are learning the material in some other way (problem sets, lectures, websites mixed with logical reasoning)

>>1079911

>using textbooks

Waste of time. Take notes during lectures and read through the scripts. Voila.

To the next person who brags about how easy college was for you:

Please include your major(s) and college you attended, including the year (freshman, sophomore, etc) if you are still attending.


>inb4 onslaught of community college kids with one major

Off topic but is anyone a dental student? Starting soon, how fucked am I? I haven't studied in 3 years (working)

>>1079921
exactly... but some people worry more about knowing every fact and trick for the test rather than actually learning the concepts. This is what pisses me off more than anything in my field (don't get me started on how the MCAT completely causes normally inquisitive students into drones with know higher concept attention).

LibartsTard detected. Why don't you take a real major with the big boys?

>>1079948
If you're in the fast learner group, just give it a decent effort, and trust your intuition; just don't get cocky and rest on your laurels.

If you are more that slow-learner/memorization type... better get back into the discipline, because you're gonna need it. Dental school is pretty much equal in intensity to Med school.

>>1079954

At the same time one might still argue that knowing every nook and cranny can be justified by wanting to be the best possible doctor. Wanting to know more should be something respectable?

But if you soley want to focus on maxing out on your texts: DO NOT OPEN A TEXTBOOK.

Only internalize what your professor said and what's in the script. The prof is always right in the end. Even if textbooks disagree.

>>1077101
Good for you OP. You lucky bastard, your major doesn't include anything like Differential Equations , Quantum mechanics or Multivariable/complex variable calculus. You know... shit that actually requires you to sit down and study or complete 200 excercises for next week.

>>1080002
I personally see facts as adjuncts to greater concepts and interconnections of systems (if you really want to maintain focus in the biological sciences). But, even in the field, it is better to know the reasons why certain things are interconnected and happen the way they do than to memorize x connects to y and b will negatively react with c. You can slip up on your details in the heat of the moment (and there are a lot of stressful moments in medicine), but less likely to fail on a conceptual logic flow that you have internalized to an almost innate nature. Also that innate connection helps those facts stick in a doctor's brain 20 years rather than 20 minutes past the big A&P exam.

When faggots say that they are struggling with LIFE. LIFE. The easiest shit ever. It fucking amuses me when I hear someone say they time "working," or "studying" (which is completely unnecessary) for a test.

You know why? Because life is fucking easy bullshit. I sit on my ass all day. I don't write papers, I don't do labor, half the time I don't even leave the house.
