Default Re: Does anyone here actually care about school?

meh, i guess i care, i just do the very bare minimum to do well. i skip a lot of class but i will read/skim the relevant portion of the textbook the night before the exam. i do mandatory homework which isn't a lot. if there is a quiz i'll study enough to understand it which basically means i get an A. i'm good at figuring things out on the spot - many math or math based engineering classes are stupid to the point that i can occasionally walk in blind to a quiz and still score perfect because i can reason through the problem.

i would have gotten the 73 bumped up to a 78 for sure though, I dont care that little.

im a junior computer engineer at a decent enough engineering school.

the problem with school is that we're forced to take too many courses that we don't care about. They should just eliminate all general education requirements.

Agreed. If a school is going to have gen ed requirements, they should be something like "you must at least take courses in 3 different subjects" instead of "you must take 2 semester of math, pass the 200 level of a foreign language, take a history class dealing with euro history and a country outside of europe, 2 humanities classes, 2 fine arts classes, 2 hard sciences, etc." like Tulane does. [censored] annoying. I know what I want to study, and it sure as hell isn't Russian history or psychology or any of that [censored].

Name your worst excuses for skipping school (other than just not feeling like it):

-Mine was one time last semester I cut myself shaving and it was still kinda bleeding a little about 5 mins before I had to leave, so I was like, "[censored] it"
