From sleepless nights to the annoying group projects to partying for a week straight - we've pretty much summed up life in college in this one list.

You forgot add the 5th wedge: carrying the dead weight who woke up just 2 hours before the presentation.
Wow, this was so me in high school and varsity. I don't hate people but I hated group work. I swore to never work with people again because I pretty much had to do 80% of the work. Little did I know that in the work environment I will have to work with people. I regret not using my time at varsity to learn to work well with other people, because even today I still want to work on my own, as if I know everything.
I ONCE got into a group project where three of us were adamantly refusing to be included in a group to do it all alone (for this very reason) and then a lone fourth person who was distraught because they had been left out of groups which capped at four. Our professor forced us all into a group. It ended up being great--we broke up the project into four whole interconnecting pieces, and then did not talk to each other at all. The 4th person volunteered for the least-needed section and ended up handing out all the worksheets because they didn't complete their part (*of course*), and the rest of us went into our crazy "I have to carry the weight of the world" mode on our sections. A+ the professor was blown away. Sometimes your people find you. <3
Now that I am in my 30s and I have gone back for my grad degree I see every group project as a leadership challenge, try out different techniques... because in the "real world" it is just as bad. Group projects really do prepare you for what you will deal with as a professional.
This is spot on, except the green area could entirely swallow that blue area.
I think the blue segment is way too big, and therefore should be replaced with the red segment.
One group project I did at uni was fine accept for one person. She was incommunicado for the whole thing...until the day of the presentation when she awkwardly tried to bolt on the work she'd done to our group presentation. Suffice to say the lecturer knew exactly what had happened.

Boy. that was my son's experience, except that the yellow part should have been about 90%.
I totally agree with this. I still assign them to my class lol. So much less grading...
In college while working on a group project, I anticipated my team to fail miserably which they did. I ended up producing my own project on the side and presented it as a group -.-
“You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”
There is actually a not-so-funny side note to this issue. Universities nowadays struggle with the fees of publishers, public funding agencies demand open access publishing, and high prices for literature are one factor for developing countries to struggle with keeping pace with the needs for education. His sad face pretty much underlines this, though. :)
Mitochondria... that's the only thing I remember of Biology .... and "das endosplasmatische Retikulum" :-)
Brains in a constant stage of absorbing knowledge? Noooot sure about that one..
REALISTIC high hopes because you can see the MAGNUM sized condoms are still on the shelf.
A friend of mine used to drive a big, green conversion van. He was stopped at a light on the University of Florida campus and a student stepped off the curb and walked right into the side of it.
3) OH MY GOD IF I DO THIS I'M STILL GONNA HAVE TO WORK AT MCDONALDS
College: years of debt, no job guarantee for most. Sheep herder: no debt, fresh air, nice co-workers, possibly more income. Hmmmm.
*walk up to the front of class, slam essay on the desk and stare the teacher in the eyes* give me extra credit for finishing early *proceed to passout*
He is working on his OCD with keeping a few mixed up so he can see if he can deal with it. He was back less than five minutes later taking care to fix it right,
And then he teaches stuff that are not in the book and you realize you had to be at his classes to pass the exam.
Just wait until someone sits on the bean bag and they hear a muffled shout from underneath...
I applied for FA the year my father had a massive heart attack and took 6+months to recover to limited part time work. The bast@rds looked at the Previous year's tax returns and said my parents made too much money! &^%@$#!!!!
Actually....Just noticed that the left hand item and the right hand item mean the same thing on the internets.... Ya see kids? That's my college degree working on my thinking college mind. I am so proud of myself! (Screaming and crying internally).
Don't worry, the professor does that too... Just insert grading homework and writing lectures in place of studying. :p
that's when you really write like your running out of time HAHAHA.... anybody.... nobody? ok, bye
I'm at that stage in life where if a car would hit me i'd get up and say "thank you".
While I'm not in collage, I didn't get on the honor roll once because I need at least an 80 as my average. I had 79.9 as my average.
Jesus! Something really should be done about college costs because this is getting out of control.
It just occurred to me that there aren't school pictures in college. I bet this is why.
I got my test scores back, the points total was an F. Prof asked were there any questions, a student commented that one question confused her. Prof looked at the question, realized that she marked the wrong answer. I got it right, so I got an extra 0.5 points which was enough to raise my mark for a D. Felt like I was brought back to life.
Now that colleges have been pricing themselves out of the market, thanks to government run/guaranteed student loans, the biggest benefactor will be the technical schools, where young people will be able to learn a worthwhile skill. And it will cost them a lot less money in the process.
And medical degrees. Nurses will always be in demand and theirs a huge shortage going on right now.
Load More Replies...The cost of textbooks is absurd and the publishers slap a new edition number on the same book and republish it so you can't use a used copy because the prof requires a specific edition and then you don't even use the stupid multi-hundred dollar waste of trees for the class. I went to college 20 years ago. That this is still an issue is disgusting.
Textbook costs are absurd, but thinking that a textbook needs to be used in class is equally absurd; oftentimes, a text is chosen to assist or compliment your learning, not duplicate class time. If you choose not to read it, why waste the $ on it in the first place?

"the walking debt" ahah. This is a great photo. I wish everyone to finish college. https://www.wellesley.edu/ or https://www.amherst.edu/ does not matter. The main thing is that every student lived this. These noisy parties, sleepless nights, the first bad marks. Those moments when you unconsciously took a walk for a whole week, and then rushed to order a homework at https://writingpaper.org/. College time is my favorite. Of course it's important to get the right skill. What would then take their place in this country. IT specialty is now the most popular and profitable. And colleges where they give this knowledge are not very expensive.
I went to university in Barcelona and boy was it different! We barely had to buy any books, and most of the books we did buy were self-published by the university so they were usually about 10€ each. What teachers did instead of forcing us to buy huge textbooks was create a dossier with a selection of all the relevant chapters, segments, etc. for the class and then the university would sell spiral-bound copies of the dossier to students (not too sure about how legal that is...). The materials for each class could go from 3€ to 15€ more or less. We saved money and didn't have to lug around giant textbooks. I studied translation and interpreting, so really the only expensive thing we had to buy were the technical bilingual dictionaries (ranging from 45€ to 120€). The fees were reasonable, too. About 600€ per academic year, depending on how many classes you took. I studied during the years 2002 - 2007.
This afternoon I'm going to go and light a candle as thanks for living in a country that has (almost) no tuition fees.
People are commenting on a comment I left. I am getting notifications about it, but I can't see any of the comments :(
The problem is not that Universities are too expensive, it's that so many think they must go and live there and take all the expensive classes that could have been taken at your local junior college for 1/5th the price. Thats what I did, left college with no debt.
