How on earth did you make it to college?

I've decided that I'm going to start a theme with my blog.  Beginning with talking about how some kids at my school managed to get here when they are stupid as shit.  I mean, I understand college is tough.  Your parents aren't here to remind you of anything and your basically on your own.  (This is where i'd like to thank my parents for raising me the way they did, so that I can make fun of other people)  I'd like to remind people that college is NOT REAL LIFE.  Your still sheltered, you don't HAVE to do anything other than go to class and do your assignments/tests.  Especially the kids like myself who are living in dorms...we are so sheltered that we don't even have go anywhere but to class and the dining hall to survive.

As far as classes go...come on people.  This stuff is not hard.  Your professors basically hand you the answers, and if it's online then you should be doing very well...I am currently enrolled in a very basic english class that makes me want to slam my head into the desk every time I'm asked to peer edit.  I come in with fully developed paragraphs, that come out to about a page typed.  Then there are kids who come in with 3 sentences written on a piece of scratch paper...Are you serious?  You want me to give you feed back on something my 9 year old brothers could do with their eyes closed? Please, enlighten me as to how the hell you got here...And then they edit my papers and are amazed at the quality of work. Although I'm flattered they can't ever seem to find something wrong, I know it's only because they don't understand what the fuck I'm talking about.

Then there's my criminal justice class, which is awesome...with the exception of the few people who genuinely believe every word that spews from their mouth is the gospel of Christ.  There are some people in the class, who like to argue with professor, just for the hell of it.  Even when they are clearly wrong! So when we get our exams back our professor likes to go through and just talk about the questions. However, some times there are some that have multiple answers, so  if argued correctly, will be given credit.  My friend and I tend to be the people who will politely ask for clarification on a question that we believe might have been worded incorrectly, making another answer plausible.  Well the other day, we had a very valid argument which ended with us getting the points and helping other people out who had gotten the question wrong also. One girl raises her and makes a statement about how she got it right in the first place so she didn't believe that we should be given credit for a technically wrong answer...let me tell you...there is no quicker way to get on my bad side, then by being THAT person.  What the hell does it matter if your getting the points anyway!? gr.

No matter where I go in life...there are always stupid people...how on earth did they make it to college?

    Seriously, all valid observations. They apply to adulthood also: how did 85% of these fuckers survive the thinning of the herd??
