Strangely enough, the vast majority of colleges/universities in other countries (e.g. in Europe) operate successfully without sports team and hand out scholarships based on intellectual merit.

Even better, no need for scholarships because tuition fees are really low, sometimes it's even free... And you might get grants based on your parents' income!

Texas state has 100 students on the football team, NCAA limits the number of scholarship students to 85. Tuition, room and board is $32,000 per year. That means they're handing out $2.72 million in scholarships....and how much does the football program earn the university each season? $200 million. Texas A&M, Georgia state, ohio state, michigan state all have football programs that bring in $120-$150 million per season. That's just football, A&M's total athletic revenue PER YEAR? $300 million, Michigan? $230 million. Ohio state? $280 million. I have no use for sports, but i still can understand that sports programs are what allow universities to afford particle accelerators, and robotics labs, computer labs, the drama departments, the art departments....and all the other things that require a ton of money that would otherwise be unavailable.

College athletes on scholarships routinely get a significantly worse education. They don't have time for the "harder" majors and can't risk losing their scholarships. Sometimes there are even special versions of core classes for athletes that are made easier to avoid having them fail. Sorry for being a downer - just thought the meme misportrayed the situation. Please go back to enjoying your day :|

This is not correct. These days a college will pay that person, sometimes millions of dollars per year, to go to college. It may be technically coming from an entity seperate from the college, but when these kids are signing their letter of intent, they are also signing a NIL contract at the same time.
There's a peculiar phenomenon happening across social media where people who graduated from college years or even decades ago still find themselves laughing at freshman orientation memes, nodding knowingly at procrastination jokes, and sharing posts about ramen noodles at 2am. The grip that college content has on adults who've long since traded dorm rooms for mortgages is both amusing and surprisingly well documented by psychology research. It turns out there's much more happening here than just people who can't let go of their glory days.
The term meme was actually coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene to describe how cultural ideas spread, and college memes have become a particularly sticky form of cultural transmission that resonates across generations.

People tend to think procrastination is a bad thing, but used correctly it's a great motivator.
Reflecting on memories like college days helps reinforce our core identity, reminding us of where we've come from and providing a sense of continuity during periods of change. When someone who graduated fifteen years ago sees a meme about skipping class to binge Netflix, they're not just remembering their own experience but reconnecting with a version of themselves that still feels fundamentally relevant to who they are today.

Oh geeze, that brought back an unpleasant memory. Back when I was doing Matriculation (in Australia), if you were close to passing in an individual exam at the end of the year you were granted a Supplementary exam. I had a Supp for Chemistry. In the final exam, the main Inorganic question was on lead, properties, reactions with acids etc., which I didn't answer very well. So, when studying for the Supp, I revised all the Inorganic curriculum except lead, thinking it wouldn't appear twice. Well, I was wrong & that's why I did not pass Matric Chemistry back in 1963

In one of my college semesters I had an online class in financial accounting/business math. All the teacher did was blast out assignments and tests. He expected us to contact our classmates if we had questions or problems. That, and he had so many technical issues and errors with the course that he ended up throwing out several tests. We didn't mind that, but I'm not sure any of us learned much. It was all about coping with the chaos.

The science of nostalgia explains a lot about why college content maintains its appeal long after graduation. Consuming nostalgic media gives us a way of thinking about who we are and helps us make sense of our purpose in life, according to researchers who've been studying this phenomenon for decades. College represents a unique period in most people's lives when they are figuring out their identity, forming lasting friendships, and experiencing a level of freedom they might not have had before or since. Those memories aren't just filed away in some dusty corner of the brain but actively contribute to how we understand ourselves in the present.

I went from seeing all of my teachers in elementary school and middle school either wear dresses or full-length skirts and blouses (for the female teachers) or full-on suits or a button-up shirt and tie (for the male teachers) to taking an "introduction to philosophy" class in my first semester in college - and the teacher walked in wearing a Hawaiian shirt, board shorts, and flip-flops with a Gandalf-class beard and long white hair tied back in a ponytail with a strip of leather XD And yes, some of my college profs did wear more formal clothing, but the vast majority of them were super laid-back in both appearance and attitude, like OP describes above XD

My high school teachers made college professors sound like satanic tyrants. One of my first classes the first day the professor said "here is everything you have to do.

I was done about 3 weeks into the class. I asked him if I really didn't have to come back anymore. He told me I'm done with his class, and good luck with the rest of my classes.

Everything from year 10 onwards was 'you need to know this to prepare you for next year/uni' and 'you won't get away with that next year'. Then once at uno, most of the lecturers were like 'nah, you don't need to know any of that', which was frustrating. It would have been nice if high school taught us how to do a uni referencing style, rather than just a simple bibliography (though I guess they didn't know which would be relevant for your course, but they could have at least mentioned some).

Depends. If it was an essay question, those bricks w definitely be brown.
Studies have revealed that nostalgic experiences can decrease feelings of loneliness and depression, and can also increase self-esteem and sense of social connectedness in young people. For adults scrolling through their feeds after a tough day at work, a college meme offers a brief escape to a time when their biggest concern was whether the dining hall was serving good pizza or the cardboard variety. It's not that adulthood is necessarily worse than college, but college represents a time of possibility and community that many people find comforting to revisit mentally.

Load More Replies...Nostalgic memories remind us of our relationships with other people, and nostalgic recollections can encourage us to seek out social and emotional support because they frequently feature important people from our past. This helps explain why college memes get shared so enthusiastically. When someone shares a post about pulling all-nighters or surviving finals week on nothing but coffee and denial, they're not just posting for themselves but reaching out to the people who were there with them, creating a moment of shared recognition and connection.

Did something similar. A girl mocked me about my stage fright. Absolutely ridiculed me for stuttering. The teacher had to tell her to stick with debate style questions. She did not. So when she went up I started asking peer review level questions on her thesis on the genetic disease she chose because it was the simplest to research and I read deep into it before. She was crying in front of class within 10 minutes. She demanded the teacher to stop me but she said "he is asking questions on your subject... You were making rude comments on his speaking ability... Keep going."

I did my essays early because I tended to the the "500 words / 3 pages" as a polite suggestion...and then turn in a fifteen page novel where molecules become sentient and it gets very Lovecraft (but I make the periodic table an important part of the story so I can demonstrate that I "did the work"). And plenty of gags along the way like when water gets upset it separates into oxygen and hydrogen and then blows up. This, by the way, was obviously my chemistry prep.
Much of nostalgia recalls periods from childhood, and a big reason for this is that in childhood, we were loved simply for who we were. College occupies a similar psychological space for many people. It was a time when you could mess up spectacularly and it was called learning, when friendships formed over shared struggles felt deeper than anything else, and when the future seemed both terrifying and full of potential. The stakes felt lower even when they seemed impossibly high at the time.

If I didn't play music while studying, my brain would fück off and contemplate things like, "Water is a clear, colorless fluid. Why, then, is a wet towel darker than a dry one?"
Stardust she/her 1 day ago
Because of the fact that water is more optically denser compared to the numerous air pockets in between the fibres of the towel. When the towel gets wet, all the air pockets get filled and this causes the light to refract in whichever direction it pleases so you get much less light actually reaching your eyes and this makes the towel appear darker

Music without lyrics works for me - Liszt and Chopin are great. Trying to read/write while listening to words confuses my brain. I can only deal with one form of word input at a time.
When we look back nostalgically, the reconstructive process of memory skews positive, and we tend to think about very general periods as opposed to particular details, naturally painting our memories with a very broad brush which glosses over the small negative details. This is why college memes work so well even for people who had genuinely difficult experiences during those years. The memes capture the universal struggles and triumphs while allowing each person to fill in their own rose-tinted specifics. You might not remember the actual stress of that organic chemistry exam, but you remember the camaraderie of suffering through it with your study group.

If your school system is such that every single student does exactly the same courses all the way through school, then your school system is very unusual. In most school systems, students at first do a variety of courses so that they can discover what they are good at, and what they enjoy. Then they have the opportunity to do advance level courses in the subjects they are good at, and they have a choice of electives.

I don't think op suggests just having them study what they're good at, but nurturing their strengths instead.

I'd have liked also just optional additional hours to have more maths, bio/geology, languages, litt and philosophy but keep a normal maount of history/geography, music, art etc.

So, instead of teaching them all the different things so that they can experience what they like and dislike, find out which one they are good at, and let them experience that they can learn to master even things they originally were bad at... instead of that we should teach them the things they happened to be somewhat good at when they were 6, and just hope that they happen to like those, and that we didn't train them for the completely wrong thing?
The relatability factor is huge too. Research shows a considerable proportion of college participants (79 percent!) and adults experience nostalgia on a weekly basis, which means there's a massive audience primed to engage with college content. Even people who are decades removed from their graduation can instantly understand the feeling behind a meme about checking your bank account after a weekend out or the existential dread of registering for classes.

There's also something inherently funny about looking back at how seriously we took things that seem trivial now.

Finally, college culture has a timeless quality because the fundamental experiences remain similar across generations. The technology changes, the slang evolves, but the core experiences of academic pressure, social navigation, identity formation, and questionable life choices remain remarkably consistent. A meme about procrastination hits just as hard for someone who graduated in 1995 as it does for someone graduating next year. That universality keeps the content fresh and relatable no matter how long it's been since you last set foot in a lecture hall.

My year 8 science teacher used to fill two boards with notes each lesson and it was really hard to get them done, until she bribed us by saying she would tell us stories about her ducks if we finished before the bell, suddenly we all wrote much more quickly :)

I asked for permission to do this once and the teacher allowed me because I was a good student who was just a bit slow that day. All the other students copied me and started taking selfies with each other and even took selfies with the teacher. That photo with the teacher is now the DP of our class’ WhatsApp group

Way back when I was taking Earth science in 8th grade one of the less gifted students actually answer the question "What is bedrock" with The town where the Flintstones live."

I'm a "volunteer comedian": I write ridiculous answers on my quiz, to give the teacher a minute of comedic relief during his grading.

I got bored of that during one test and just started adding words I thought sounded funny around the borders. My teacher actually gave me a smiley face for the word 'yoink' :) He was the teacher who gave us a fake comedic test paper once though, which included things like what his favourite chocolate was (then once we finished that gave us the real one)

I'd have a lot more time for thinking and learning if I had slaves/ servants to handle all of life's mundane tasks. Education was historically for the elite.

So thankful I received an education in the times of going to class with professor in the room.

TNR is not a font optimized for lecture. It's a font optimized to take less space in order to put more text in the newspaper. So yeah, forget about TNR if you want comfort reading.

For our pandas that don't follow the minutia of The Collapse of America: Our Secretary of State just declared that all State Department documents and correspondence have to be written with Times New Roman because the switch to the easier to read Calibri font was a wasteful diversity initiative.

As long as you can get some decent sleep in between, it's not a bad plan! Cramming works!

Back in the day, speeding to get to the professor's office to hand in the paper.

And traffic jams everywhere, doors locked, tripping over your own feet. What's that saying? The hurrier you go the behinder you get. But we still managed to turn it in on time. Barely!

Spotted on a t-shirt: Things are so bad, that if a clown beckoned to me from the woods, I'd just go.

I’m atheist but I was once so cooked on an exam that I prayed to all the gods I remembered and was able to pass the exam

Upper level astronomy class in college, I wrote a paper about the planet Venus which I never did understand. I got an A. The professor was great, very helpful in recommending source material. I was in college in the 70s and he's one of the few professors I remember. I was a general studies major, or as my family doctor put it, I majored in everything.

My old high school (partially) burned down when my brother was in year 12. All of the tech wing, which housed the art, woodworking, metalwork and v c&d rooms were lost. The year 12 art students who lost their art portfolios got special considerations, but still had to complete something to hand in so they didn't fail (and still had to do the exam).
