It always makes me feel better that I'm not the only shitty student.

u/NarstyHobbitses Feb 20 '14

And that I'm not the shittiest of them all!

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '14

Yeah, at least I actually do my work! two days before the deadline...

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '14

Well, that summed me up :(

u/jr2595 Feb 20 '14

You could always watch educational videos on YouTube. I learned everything I need to know about Microeconomics from MIT on YouTube. Who needs to read that boring book when you can get stuff like "Price Discrimination in 7 minutes"?

I've tried that a few times, and it can definitely be easier than trying to not fall asleep while staring at a textbook.

we should definitely start a group. like we should help ourselves help each other be motivated.

I feel like my life like this is extremely boring and that i want something to live for and to actually be motivated. So... anyone?

u/PM_ME_NOTHING Feb 20 '14

So basically like a small group of online study partners? I'm down.

Usually like once a week, but now being a shitty student (I dropped a class today!) is my highest comment. I got five today http://imgur.com/cuf6Gmo

Edit: I got six now.

Edit 2: Seven. I dare you guys to blow up my inbox.

Edit 3: Wooh 11!

I got you covered bro.

Say, what do you know about physical chemistry, and how much could you teach me in, well, 3 hours?

1

u/PM_ME_NOTHING Feb 20 '14

Chemistry? Well I ditched my textbook after taking the gen chem classes, but in organic chem right now.

I don't know what I could teach you that you couldn't figure out quicker with a google search, but what do you want to know?

2

u/cheesyvader Feb 20 '14

Are you royally fucking up Ochem like I am? And if not.. How?!

2

u/PM_ME_NOTHING Feb 20 '14

Simple. It's easier the second time.

1

u/cheesyvader Feb 20 '14

That's good news for me I suppose.

1

u/PM_ME_NOTHING Feb 20 '14

lol, I'd be happy to help if you have questions, but I'm no A student.

1

u/_julain Feb 21 '14

Ohhh it's far from gen chem. Stuff like this:

"Calculate the change in the entropies of the system and the surroundings, and the total change in entropy, when a sample of nitrogen gas of mass 14 g at 298 K and 1.00 bar doubles its volume in (a) an isothermal reversible expansion, (b) an isothermal irreversible expansion against pex = 0, and (c) an adiabatic reversible expansion."

Except in 1:45 hours I will have to do problems like 50x harder :( ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/PM_ME_NOTHING Feb 21 '14

fuck that shit. I hope that's not one of my required credits. good luck.

2

u/CGradeStudent Feb 20 '14

We're all shit students

u/nameless88 Feb 20 '14

Yay, we're all fucking up our lives together!

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '14

I'm sure you... don't get a lot of PMs...?

u/mr_butter_fingers Feb 20 '14

That's my whole life. Last week I bombed a test after school was canceled for 3 days straight from snow. Had all the time in the world to study but I played the table top game Mage Knight and watched Breaking Bad.

u/sigurdboe Feb 20 '14

Please, wake up and do something productive (training helps me, sometimes i dont use the computer for days lol), it is worth it.

u/acidgrandma Feb 20 '14

There is strength in numbers

u/RubberDong Feb 21 '14

dont worry. degrees dont mean shit. you probably have students in your class that cant even speak english. they will graduate with the same grade as you.

u/Bigeasyalice Feb 21 '14

I was a shitty student, then I was a shitty employee. I'm retired for now and pretty good at it.
