Say It Here Because You Can't Say It Anywhere Else - Venting Thread, College Edition

The college doesn’t send your scores. Collegeboard and ACT does.

It’s getting REALLY LATE in application season . . .where have you guys been on all this stuff? !!!

Dear student,
When I say that there is no extra credit in this class I mean that there is no extra credit in this class. No not even if you ask in a really nice voice. No, not even if you tell me you really really really need to pass this. No, I am not interested in your hardluck story, or how disappointed your parents will be.
The time to bring all of this stuff up was in my office, week one, not after the final examination. And certainly not at my home address. %-(

I feel like everyone in college is smarter than me and like I’m the only struggling student in my classes. Also, sometimes I feel like I should’ve taken a year off before starting college because I feel lost with my life

Why does nobody ever invite me to hangouts!? I try to invite people to hangouts then they eventually figure out I’m weird and don’t invite me anywhere. Nobody tells me what I do wrong and just leaves me guessing what’s wrong with me. I wish I could be normal. You guys wouldn’t understand the things I’d do just to be normal and fit in. I spend hours searching through blogs on improving social skills which other people naturally get. You guys wouldn’t understand the pain I feel when I have to sit by myself at the cafeteria when I watch everyone else laugh and enjoy each other’s company. At the end of the day all that I am worth is books smarts.

People who start a ‘results thread’, then don’t post their results…

This is random, but a huge shout out to @Gumbymom who helps every single kid posting about California schools. You have an incredible amount of knowledge that you share in the nicest way possible. You rock.

Why do my parents not love me?

Dear CS prof,
When everyone in the class (senior majors) fails the final, most people have a C, and a senior software engineer with a graduate degree in CS takes one look at your assessments and says that they are terrible, poorly-written, and ridiculous questions (and goes so far as to say he wouldn’t pass the class), it doesn’t matter if you’ve been teaching the class for over 30 years- there’s something wrong with your teaching.

I’m sure they don’t “hate” you, but it’s ok to vent. Sorry. No replies my bad. Too sad tho.
