Complain about school!

I hate how physically draining school is. Coming home at 10PM after a "day" of school and being too tired to study (lol) or do anything else. Also I hate spending the day before 3PM with the thought of "I have a one to two hour commute and five hours of lectures ahead of me."

Incidentally, I sometimes hate how emotionally draining my chosen academic path is. (SPOILER)There is only so much rape, murder, and genocide I can read about in one sitting without wanting to cry/puke/sleep.

If I get started complaining about the American public school system I will never ever stop.

College was great though. Pick your own classes, learn what the professor tells you to learn, show up to lecture if you feel like it, and then eat noodles.

Law school is a lot of work. Not only do I have work for classes, but I'm also trying out for the moot court team and trying to find a good summer job.

College was good times, though.

I guess the noodles part is true

Yeah, I definitely did not have a choice as to what classes I got to take. Technical classes were all set in order, and non-major required classes are only of the "free A" variety.

[rubah]

the tricky party is when they give you free reign on classes to take but don't count the pre-reqs as part of your hours. >_> <_<

I've got a one hour commute. An 8 hr day, and horrible classes this semester. 'Nuff said

And it would appear that you still lose the "my schedule sucks the most" game. Sorry.

The only complaint I have is the amount of stupid people in my Psychology class.

In the eight years of bachelors back to back.... the only thing true for me is noodles....Then they stopped selling themcer....

I resorted to cannibalism...

Eating noodles is the part that made me want to go to uni

The super strict compulsory attendance thing really annoyed me at high school. Sometimes comes up and I'm really not in the mood to learn. So forcing me to be there just makes me distract everyone else. Usually I just went for a walk and then claimed emo when they asked where I was. I was already on counselling anyway~

School sucked. Uni rocked at undergrad, and now is a lot less fun because my uni is super up itself and pretentious (I suppose that's the price you pay for going somewhere moderately prestigious, instead of the former poly that was my old uni. But which was considerably better.) and etc.

Oh and I'm poor, too.

I love university. I just wish they were more organized - I would like to be able to have gone studying abroad knowing that the staff at both my home university and host university will be , and half the classes I'll end up taking won't be for my major, for gen ed classes, and overall, not the classes I signed up for in the first place. I rather like how in England, it's kind of impossible to end up not getting credit from classes, at your home university or otherwise, unless you fail your class.

I also hate how expensive university is in general. That's mostly me griping though, because when I return from England, when I go back to college, I'm going to have to live at home again until next year, because my brother will be starting university. Ughhhhhhh.

But overall, it's great. I like it most of all because a professor, for the most part, appreciates someone who asks questions and actually feels for the material taught, rather than the person who just scores buttawesome grades on their SATs and stuff. I hated that about High School.

You'd see all these kids with these amazing SAT II grades, yet I was the only who actually engaged with the material and got it far more than anyone of those robots did. What is the point of history and literature if you don't feel anything from it? The day the SATs are gone will be a happy day, indeed. And this is coming from someone who ended up doing pretty well on it.

And because they appreciate such, I'M the one who is getting the good grades now. Robot-students can suck it.

EDIT:

@ Jiro - Hahaha, compulsory education. It's ironic how in university, where attendance isn't generally compulsory, I'm much more likely to attend. I took off so many days in High School. In my last year, you'd get a sheet telling you how many days you've missed, and how many days left until you lost credit for that class. You wouldn't believe how many days I just skipped, just to squeeze out those last few days I could miss. xD

My senior year mantra was pretty much "I got accepted to university, why am I still here?"

[Jiro]

I've found that the classes at uni are far more engaging and enjoyable. 90% of people are there because they want to be there, so there isn't a bunch of people bringing the mood down and disrupting the learning because they hate school or whatever their gripe was.

The only reason I kept attending school was because I got bored at home, and some of my classes were interesting. If the subject matter was crap then I would often sleep through the class or go on walkies~ I actually helped out a few staff members while skipping classes xD

Surely your schedule can't be worse than; Music Appreciation, Biblical Studies (time filler), Child Psychology, and Popular American Culture.
