all my years in middle school, high school, and college so far, ive never written a paper in advance. i always wrote this shit several hours before it was due. i justified it by telling myself that i do it for the challenge. i have to write 16 pages due in about 9 hours. fuck my life.

I am the same way. Apparently my papers are pretty good (so the teachers/instructors say) but they literally take a few hours at the computer and I will be done while other people will slave over it for a week. Some call it procrastination, I call it a skill.

short-list for transfers:

NYU: Gallatin

BU: COMC

Emerson Communications

need moar REsarch.

[knucks]

I start my papers wayyy early, stress about them, get them done a week ahead of time (like the one I just finished, due Dec 1st), then stress about it sucking for a week and turn it in anyways.

my chem professor actually wore something other than those short shorts and high socks. must've been cold today.

I believe it's easier to xfer than actually get in the first time around. You really like emerson huh? Northeastern is great because of coop stuff.

About a 2-3 weeks before I get my acceptance/rejection letter from NYU.

Anybody here goes to NYU who's willing to shed some light?

everyone that I know that goes/went there hates it. the social scene revolves around clubs/bars, so not only do you have to have a good ID, but all you friends do, too. also, as you can imagine, in a city as big as NYC, the scene is VERY fragmented. my general point being, don't be too bummed if you get denied/waitlisted

as for me, I am a communications major & soc minor (or major also) at UPenn.

don't really wanna go the douchebag i-banking/private equity/hedge fund route, but the pay is very enticing obviously ( prob around $90 K + bonus coming out). probably will end up in advertising or marketing, we'll see though

Probably looking to stay in the city. NYU: Gallatin is the main choice right now. BU and Emerson are just other notable communications schools. Eugene Lang is too small... Hunter is a commuter school. Doubt I could get into Columbia and there's nothing really there for me as it is... transfer may be easier, but I gotta kick ass again and more so this time around. :\

Economics major with minor in business up in suny new paltz.

love economics so i have no problem with reading the textbooks and learning the subject and this economic crisis just makes it that much more interesting and rewarding.

nightlife isnt too bad up here either, drinks are dirt cheap and the bars let everybody in.

Why did my RA have to leave for Thanksgiving so early? My hall is unattended and now everyone's partying "hella loud" on my floor in my suite. Sure I'd join them whatever but I have a goddamn midterm tomorrow at 8am..

come on man... go to the library or something

[branespload]

I'm not gonna sleep on the library, it's raining like fuck outside (always a lil Wayne concept). They moved the beer pong to the room opposite the wall adjacent to my bed.

I hate all of them but I'd never snitch.

[sidviscous]

procrastinating on a research paper til the last day, realizing that the material is actually interesting and if given more time would study the subject in depth. then after getting the grade, having a lack of motivation to pick up the material on my own time.......

stressing out like f*** on the paper til it almost kills you but end up getting an A on it

[sean_]

last night i studied (read: downloaded music) until 5 am, slept for 2 hours, went to school and wrote an exam at 8, and i feel pretty god damn good about it

2 to go

[ProfMonnitoff]

i have to buy some fucking earplugs

the guy across from me listens to eurotrance all day

[c.r.e.a.m.]

people are allowed to bring their own music to art class... usually its always the same kid with shitty music, but this time was worse. a girl brought this cd, and the tracks were a lil emo and weird. the lyrics were also mentioning something about "becomming on of us" or something like that. then a girl in the class asked out loud, "is this the twilight sundtrack?!?!" i threw up in my mouth.

[freecat]

i think i have spent more time at the school library than i slept this week (around 17h so far, not even feeling tired, was mad drunk on monday).

i have an exam tomorrow in microeconomy, but some people that had it yesterday had enough time to copy it twice on another sheet and I have a copy of that, and a friend that did it this morning took a picture of the test and sent it to me, so I actually have already did it and am sure everything is right !

(only count for 20% of my semester mark in microeconomy though)

but i'm not feeling the mathematics exam on saturday at all...

[samsikle]

ahhhhhh got an 86 on my anthro lecture test, which i only studied one day for, 85 on my last french test. the tests this semester have pretty much been B's with grade D effort.

i also have to catch up copying my anthro lab group's work assignments. that teacher doesn't even know what the lab book asks of us sometimes.

[jeepster]

I still haven't started my Legislative Proposal for my RFT class, or my Western Civ paper, or my Bloom's taxonomy presentation for my Education class, or my final drawings for my Drawing class

I got a week. whateverrrrrrrr

[mpcec]

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what I want to do. Right now I'm an Anthro major with a minor in History and I'm focusing on Latin America. The problem is that I finished my language requirement by highschool so all of my Spanish language credits just count as electives and I still have so many more bullshit gened classes to take that just feel like such a waste of time.

I also want to start taking Portuguese because knowing Spanish and Portuguese is basically essential for what I want to do in life, but it's just so difficult because they don't count for shit. I don't want to take 8 years getting my bachelor...

Fuck, college is so confusing.

[Knugget]

goddamn history of film. i don't even know how to start my damn paper.

well done

is Dickinson in Pennsylviania any good ? Doesn't look attractive, but it's the only college i can go to the us next year, or i will have to choose another country... or stay and go someplace cool the year after.

is it an exchange that your school does? go to your dean of college affairs or whoever is in charge of the exchange/study abroad program and check with them to see if you can take classes at another school. Dickinson is nice, but its in the middle of nowhere.

[Corbin Law]

finally got all my applications finished up to

Pomona

Southwestern

UT Austin

Hendrix

in that order of importance.

[jeepster]

none in the Northeast? for shame Phillip.

[grAPEsWISHer]

reading branespload's posts was pretty entertaining.

I'm a 3rd year at UCI, Business Econ major (lovely timing, don't you agree?).

I'd say Irvine is boring too, but that's only because I visit for classes.

We should discuss Aramark's regulated monopoly and their decision to remove all trays from commons.

[reallynow]

so i've passed over 10 classes with an A by only showing up for the tests.

college = success.

but then i've narrowly passed/failed over 10 classes because of my introversion when that dreaded "form groups of three" time comes for that ridiculously % heavy project, I end up with some group that needed one more guy. which turns out to be that group where person A decides to have their grandma die when we have our last minute huddle at that library none of us are familiar with but happened to be at the center of all of our homes. And person B turned out to be that girl that doesn't know the difference between "the internet" and a browser, and adds hilariously unnecessary "the"'s before every unfamiliar word. ("k, i start up the mozilla"...... "press on the bookmarks"............ "then go to the google". Reminds me of that lady in no country for old farts "AH GOT THE CANCER!"

so yeah, if santa is real, then I will get an A in Ethnic Studies, otherwise my dreams are crushed and I only pass with a C because we will not have the 3 people required to present our masterpiece that likely will not be a masterpiece. Good luck with any remaining finals!

[ProfMonnitoff]

you have no social skills and you will fail in real life unless you get some

[reallynow]

nah i just can't help but show my disinterest in school group work. no worries really cause it only happens in school. besides, introversion =\= anti socialism at all.

I went to a technical high school and was in the medical program for four years, basically took shit like anatomy and got to spend three weeks out of the school year working in a hospital. Always wanted to be a doctor since like 8th grade but when I got to college sort of just took what I liked and now I am realizing that I need to start mapping out a career.

If I am already a sophomore in college and am just now seriously deciding on wanting to be a doctor, what the fuck do I do? I haven't taken any of the pre-med classes. I heard med schools don't like their applicants taking sciences over the summer because it's basically crammed. Am I going to have to spend 6 years in undergrad?

your college should offer you a list of the pre-health/pre-med/pre-career classes you need. med schools just don't want you to be taking a majority of your science classes in the summer, but it all depends on what you need to do to finish on time. Usually what is required is a year of math, a year of english, a required chemistry series (14A-D + BL and CL for me), year of physics, Life Sciences/Biology series (1-4). i could've missed something. my friend just decided to go pre-med this year and he is just taking 3-4 science classes a quarter and planning to do 2 summer sessions to finish up.

and that post about group projects- i feel for you. I usually enjoy group projects and human interaction, but not with fucking antisocial, socially inept shitfucks who can't talk to others or know what they're doing. being pre-med, a majority of the group within my classes don't talk to other people and aren't even all that smart/knowledgeable about what we're doing anyway.
