Name one thing that people tell you about college that annoys you

<p>For me it would be when people say "No! Don't buy clothes....People don't care what they wear to class!".</p>

<p>That annoys the hell out of me. How do you know that I have little clothes at home so I'm buying more clothes to enhance my clothes collection? And also I'm not "people" if "people" don't care what they wear to class that's on them, I, however, do care what I wear to class.</p>

<p>ehgbvewgew...end rant.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>“College will be the best four years of your life!”
I should hope not.</p>

<p>“Don’t waste all your time studying – you’re missing out on parties, and that’s the fun of college!”
I’m paying for an education, and it’s not like ALL I do is studying. I have a ton of hobbies and am extremely involved on campus. I just don’t consider vomiting into gutters to be fun.</p>

<p>“If you don’t have at least one hookup, you’re not doing it right.”
No, I’m just not into STDs.</p>

<p>“Professors don’t care about attendance, so it’s alright to ditch.”
Again, I’m paying for it. Whether the professors cares or not, I DO.</p>

<p>“Psychology/sociology/gender studies/liberal arts/theatre/dance/art/film majors don’t get anywhere in life.”
Maybe they don’t lead directly into jobs like engineering majors do, but don’t group so many people into the unemployable category that easily.</p>

<p>^^I think you pretty much nailed it.</p>

<p>Ahh…I can’t stand that last one. There are whole liberal arts colleges for reasons. Clearly they do get you somewhere or the schools wouldn’t exist. Psych majors all the way. =P</p>

<p>annoying comment: “Your going to (insert any northern schools name here)?” “Do you know how cold it gets there?” </p>

<p>No…I got into the highly competitive school of my dreams and I had no idea what the weather was like…duh!</p>

<p>There isn’t anything to do.
All Case kids do is study.
Are you an engineer?
There aren’t any parties. </p>

<p>The engineering comment holds some truth, but the other 3 are complete myths perpetuated by a group of unhappy students.</p>

<p>AtomicCafe you sound like a Debbie Downer.</p>

<p>Don’t be critical. I don’t think you sound like a Debbie Downer, AtomicCafe.</p>

<p>

<p>God, tell me about it! I was born and raised in the south and I’m going to school in Minnesota. I think this was pretty much EVERYONE’s reaction. Having gone there a year now, I actually PREFER Minnesota’s weather – admittedly last winter was pretty mild by MN standards, but I’ll take sub-zero temperatures any day over the heat and humidity that starts in March here and doesn’t let up until mid-October.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. I like college fine, but if these are the best years of my life, I’m not really looking forward to the rest of it. Believe it or not, being broke and always panicked about some test or another is not something I enjoy. Which isn’t to say that I don’t love some parts of college, but I really hope this is not the time of my life.</p>

<p>Also adding “If you make an effort, you and your roommate will get along.” No. Sometimes your roommate is completely insane, delusional beyond hope, and doesn’t do dishes/laundry for two months. You can’t fix crazy, and unless you have the patience of a saint (I have the patience of a toddler, personally), sometimes you can’t get along with crazy, either, especially when you and crazy sharing a 170 square foot room.</p>

<p>Stupid is hard to get along with too. As is lazy. Although, I will say that the one about not living with your best friend is 9 out of 10 times true.</p>

<p>“Why aren’t you going to [insert local school here that I’m completely uninterested in]”</p>

<p>lol @cabhax :]</p>

<p>“Don’t worry, it’ll be here before you know it.”</p>

<p>Please shut the f*** up. The last eight months have easily been the longest, most painful months of my life.</p>

<p>^^^ROFLMAO tell me about it! July felt like a freaking year! Only two more weeks…YES!</p>

<p>One week til I begin my final year in college. <em>sniff</em> So sad.</p>

<p>Agreed- this summer just went on forever and ever! I feel like I’ll be stuck in 2010 my entire life…</p>

<p>Ok, not to be cliche, but do enjoy it and go for things while you’re in college. I didn’t take some opportunities and missed out, and now I’m faced with the real world in May. =(</p>

<p>I still have over thirty days remaining until I leave.</p>

<p>Ah, quarters then?</p>

<p>Yeah, sadly. 32 days!</p>
