Just one more 8D JUSTTTTT OONNNEEEE MOOOOOREEE. Midterm that is. And then I'll be freeeee~~~ FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. To start on that 10 page essay that I should have started a month ago.


Yeah. There's really no point to this journal at all, except to waste your time. Over these past few days, I've come to that sudden jarring realization that I'm going to graduate soon. On looking back upon these years of academic learning, one often ponders upon the wonderful wisdom imparted to them during their brief, far too brief stay.......yeah. No. Here's what I really learned:


1) In class, the long tables are the most comfortable to sleep on. None of this "Oh crap, Imma falling off the tiny table connected to mah chair!" or "Oh crap, I just smacked the attentive, good student beside me with my sprawling sleeping posture."

2) Textbooks are made from the ground-up corpses of students who couldn't handle the stress. Why else are they so expensive?

3) Like cake, the editions are a lie. You will always find to your dismay, that your insanely expensive "Edition 7" differs from the older, cheaper "Edition 6" solely because "Chapter 5" has been renamed "Chapter 4" and they've also added their pet dog in the "dedicated to" section.

4) Every student graduates with a degree in BS.

5) Wikipedia as a whole is frowned upon by professors, NEVER, EVER cite it as a source. That being said, Wikipedia's own sources often come from reputable, scholarly journals and are entirely usable for your own citation. Loophole FTW.

6) Bibliography: The list of works you didn't read through to write your essay.

random insert: First three people to notice this sentence can has a free sketch from me. Just reply in the journal saying "I see what joo did thar!" or..something along those lines and your desired character for me to mangle artistically.

7) Organic Chemistry: Eating unsuspecting students alive since its inception into academia.

8) Confounds, Conclusion, Analysis etc.: The parts of the scientific write-up where you explain why your experiment failed and why you still deserve full marks despite your failure.

9) Group Projects: In which 50% of your grade depends on the knowledge and work ethic of complete strangers.

10) "It depends.": The most common answer given for the average student's most pressing questions.


And....going back to studying for that last midterm. (Not.)

Ground up corpses? I knew the books smelled weird XD had a faint deathlike aroma
:iconendlessmiracle:
but you would think there'd be so many corpses around that it'd --i see what joo did thar-- be cheaper with so many materials available. If possible i would like a tachikoma, if not, then fish hats would be awesome. lots and lots of them :D thankies

who is it on your new avatar?

"I see what joo did thar!"? I is confused...

Honestly, I find your list ingenious and very, very true... You know you can find textbooks for like fifty cents on amazon.

I'd rather we just skip the formalities.
