Default ah, good ole college...blows right now

so it is 3 am now, i am writing a paper for my english class, i have a head cold, cannot fall asleep, and it is freaking cold in the study room cause the heater is broken.

That really sucks, I hate writing papers. The latest I've stayed up was for a Genetics lab report, only ~2:30am.

Your telling me you have never pulled an all nighter becuase you procrastinated on a 25 page research proposal and ended up going 48 hours straight and almost ODing on rockstars.



you need to get out and live man

I did like a 15 page research paper once all in a day. I procrastinated so long I had to do the research and write the paper in one day. I didn't even pull an all nighter and still got a B on the paper. I do my best work late.

College is pretty easy for me so far. I have too much free time.

that's because the only grades you get are exams every 3 or 4 weeks (once your done with all those bs english and math classes... haven't taken one of those for 2 years now)

It'll get tougher. Just wait until you start taking upper division stuff and your courses for your major. I was an animation/visual effects major and it sucks when each class gives you like 10+ hours of homework a week.

I enjoyed the very first day of my Biology class when the first thing the teacher talked about was how the Biology department has a 60% fail rate. Nothing encourages you more.

haha, very true. But I don't miss the not having money part. It's nice being able to afford things yourself and actually get to eat things other than fast food and ramen.

haha yea, it was great when we did a normal wave, turned to a slow wave, then to an EXTREMELY FAST wave lol. i stayed the whole time. what frat are you in? maybe i can get in since i "know" a brother!! lol

i think that me being sick now is just payback from 3 days of straight partying until 5 am and starting at 12pm lol. Oh the good times at state college.

You must live in the middle of nowhere. 45K is like a nice car. What are your payments, like $400-500 a month?

When you say you have your own place, does that mean you're just livinig on your own renting an apartment or something or you actually bought a place?
