holy impoliteness batman

I am soooooooooooooooooo sick of students stopping in doorways to have talks with their 14 friends. I just had rather a crap class witht he 100's and I was so mad I took it out on a group of four girls yacking in the doorway. There was a big line trying to go thru the other half of the doorway and I decided just to barge thru those girls, launching them a "you know this is kind of inconvenient" as I went. They looked at me of course like how dare I... Equally sick of students with their legs stretched all the way across the hallway with absolutely no regard or respect for people trying to walk thru. Makes me want want to reserve A/V carts every single class just to bump their legs.

In school, we had a policy of never studying unless it was absolutely necessary, and still got high-to-mediocre grades. This convinced us that we were smarter than the average citizen, and actually, we're still thinking that way.

  ...Meanwhile, the Internet's booming, and kids we gave C pluses to are waltzing out of college and getting rich on stock options while we bust our asses for a pathetic stipend that doesn't even cover the rent.

You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.

 - Tom Petty  

Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
