Every time I talk to my roommate I feel my pineal gland calcify and my third eye close a little bit more
Last night she asked me how many days there are in a year and I said “why do you not know that?” and she said “why the fuck would I need to know that?”
She’s getting ready for work rn while listening to the Carrie Underwood song from the Super Bowl at full volume
She keeps hanging this shit up around the house
Last night she was telling me about a car accident she was in years ago and she said they had to use the “jar of live” and I was like. Do you mean the jaws of life and she said “you don’t know what the jar of life is?”
She’s sitting next to me scrolling through a facebook meme page scream laughing and showing me literally every post and saying “what’s wrong? Are you okay” if I don’t laugh hard enough
We’re at her dads house it looks like this
I’m detecting a strong suburban Massachusetts upper middle class purgatory aura from this post.
as a member of the suburban Massachusetts upper middle class I can confirm the bullshit
there are guys in my dorm who decided to play cards in the elevator
see what intrigues me about college isn’t the intellectual pursuit or the bonding or whatever, its the fact that people have the freedom to do random shit like this
Okay, everybody, I have a story about random shit in college. When I was in college, there was a particular class I took where, no matter what time you walked into class, if you made it into the room before the professor, you wouldn’t be counted late. I mean, that’s a pretty cool policy, given how some professors are really obnoxious about attendance.
Well, one time, a fellow student of mine was running late to class. As she reached the edge of the building, she saw her professor making it to the front steps (super long rectangular building here). He looks up from walking and he sees her. He then points to his watch, gives her a well-meaning “Look who’s late” face, and walks on inside.
What he didn’t know, though, was that this particular student was like freakishly good at bouldering and related climbing skills, so she was just like “Fuck it” and SCALED THE BUILDING!
She tapped on the window of the 4th floor classroom (the floors had like 20ft ceilings, so, she was quite a ways up there), nearly making one student piss himself. They opened the window, she rolled through, onto the floor, and slid into her seat about five seconds before the professor opened the door to the classroom.
He did a double take, started to say “How the hell d—” when a security guard ran in, red-faced and panting, pointed at her and bellowed “STOP DOING THAT!”

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
I read a really fantastic thread on /r/askreddit titled “Ex-Homophobes of Reddit, what made you change your views?” and a good chunk of the answers were along the lines of, “I left home and went to college for four years and it completely changed my perspective.”
Getting away from your upbringing in a place where you’re encountering others with different perspectives can have a huge impact on your belief system. It allows people to separate themselves from their parents and start questioning everything they’ve been taught.
Your children aren’t being pushed to the left by education — without the force of your influence, they’re just bouncing back to where a normal person would naturally be.
no shade but what’s the point of spending thousands and thousands of dollars to go to college if you’re just gonna ditch every other class like just save your money and stay home my dude
This. Like I have a friend who’s financial aid covers her tuition, enough to the point where she actually gets a lot of money back, and it even covers her textbooks. And then she’s skipping every day and failing classes. I mean she is literally getting a free college education, at a state university, something many kids would kill for.
that literally made me cringe reading it i’m so upset
