this is the thread for ilxors who are in lol college

if youre old and an undergrad you count

Next year I'll be at the Sciences Po, which I guess gives me even less reason to post.

get me the fuck out of here

i went to a sorority party on friday night

conversation btw. a friend and some freshman dude

steph: talk to me again and ill kill you
(pause)
frosh dude: what if i talk to you... sexy?

i wish i went to "lol college"

I'm hoping death swiftly followed. Right?

xpost

Also, I don't know if this is unique to film school, or unique to my school, but if I'm taking a senior level class, and all the students are seniors, can we not spend the first two weeks going over the exact same shit we learned in our very first film class? Please?

GAH I KNOW HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO LEARN WHAT THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS? Oh right, in every single upper and lower division science class.

Abbott OTM. Especially annoying when you already have a biology degree.

this isnt max of max and dustin is it

i am old and still an undergrad (this is my second attempt at getting my BA).

jesus christ i am so fucking over it. it's my own fault really - i've managed to drag this second attempt out to 4 freakin' years. one class this trimester, one over summer, and if i actually manage to pass both i'll be graduating in may. i'm sick of retards. seriously, even at 300-level, the people in my english lit classes who can't actually read.... fucking amazing. the whole system appears to be a joke.

and i feel completely ill-prepared for a 'real job'.

i am still in lol college

sick of the frat boys across the street jumping into the pool in my apartment complex at 3 in the morning

this isnt max of max and dustin is it

You know I wondered that too Rox - but naw its not him (those duders were Canadian werent they?)

Oh, right.

I went to a brunch for MFAs and two Korean girls asked me if I liked Harry Potter, David Beckham, The Beatles and "The Woman King".

They also asked me to sing them a Beatles song. I said no.

I miss max and dustin! Where they at?

I messaged back and forth with Dustin a bit today on YouTube. Max's hair is really long. Still making movies! That's all I know.

i just got a faculty/staff card (tho i'm technically just a library adjunct) the other week and the expiration date on it is 2013 (!!!!!!)

think of all the books you can check out!

Wahhhht is with the new username! o_O

fuck off history teacher who thought it would be cool for us to critique a dave barry book.

ITS NOT CUZ I HAVE TO READ IT UNLESS THAT'S THE JOKE

The one about American history?

yes

also a kid in my class tried to argue for wikipedia as a credible source

one of those college life flashing before your eyes moments

this semester im taking a class called w0men in m4themat1cs

it feels like the punchline to a joke

I am dropping my Great Powers Relations class, probably. We watched a clip from fucking 300.

I knew it was a bullshit class, but at least make it bullshit that doesn't look like bullshit.

"jewish athletes" too long for you? try our new book "women in math"!

xp to myself

also

Haw!

"buddylube.com" o_O

The Dave Barry book about America is his only worthwhile moment!

I mean it's been a long time since I've reread it. The prof should probably update to America: The Book. But still.

some dude was playing a virtual beer pong game in one of my big lectures the other day. the computer controlled dude he was playing against would moon him and flick him off to "distract" him, and if the comptuer made it in one of his cups a cup of beer would be lifted up and then it would be tilted and slowly be emptied as if he had just drank it.

this was at 10:15 AM. lol college.

I wanted to ask the ilolcollegexors what they thought of the NYTimes Mag's lol college issue.

Didn't catch it because I'm not lolliterate.

I do not read NYTimes Mag, it is irrelevant to me.

It's generally pretty bad, but I still get the weekend times so it's my subway/bathroom reading when I've run out of good New Yorker copy

I am in college and here is my EIPC HISTORY

Pah!

1984 - 1987 BA
1991 - 1992 Diploma in something or other
1993 - 1995 MA (part time)
1996 - 1999 PhD (part time - suspended)
2007 - PhD again

It's just so easy for 23 years to slide by...

there is no food on this campus

"college issues" of anything make me want to kill myself more than actual college does

i think my school was in that issue tho actually!

bought the cap n gown yesterday

I am jealous. And,,,,,happy for you.

congrats HOOS on your new cap and gown!

thx guys i am amped

Did not buy cap and gown today, not going to graduation. I have no nostalgia college. 6 WEEKS TO GO.

lolstalgia

yeah i mean i'm not like "woohoo i get to walk across that fucking stage and get handed a fake diploma by a dean whose name i don't even know" or anything. thing is i'm the first grandkid (of 22!) to graduate from college, so eeeeeverybody's gonna be there and it's kinda a thing.

but i totally sympathize with not going. bff is skipping. 6 WEEKS YEAYA

Whoo! What's yer degree in? I will soon be a nurse.

english w/a minor in sociology of pop culture (lol i know right)

i will soon be a broke copywriter

so excited

I'm giddy at the prospect of earning a grown-up income, turning around, and giving it back to Wells Fargo.

I found out recently that I'm probably not every going to be able to walk. I'm a little sad I won't get the whole ceremony, but much, much more bothered at the fact that not having a ceremony to invite relatives to will be a serious gift-receiving setback.

I mean, I was hoping checks from distant relatives might put a dent in a security deposit or something.

Oh, and where are my manners, congrats HOOS kate et al.

yeah hopefully i'll actually be getting a job as a web marketer with one of the handful of companies to which i sent a resume, but my main duty w/most of these places would be "writing the copy that's on the website" and "writing the copy that's in our banner ads" etc

thx guys!

and yeah the downtick in gifts is :(

web marketing sucks dick dude, especially in NYC. Unless you get ur degree from Pratt or RISD and you're the overlord, expect to make 29k and then get laid off 1 day before you're able to collect unemployment benefits. (not a personal story-family are art school heroes who lord over thoese poor and delusional souls who wish to streth their creative bone in the city of dreams0)

i got my official 'you are now a graduate!' letter last week. the ceremony is in december so i won't be here for it. i now have a virtually useless degree in english lit. yay me!

congrats hoos!

expect to make 29k and then get laid off 1 day before you're able to collect unemployment benefits.

i firmly believe this will happen hence the consistent freelancing. a dude making his $$ off writing can't afford to get too comfortable in any position: if it's gone you're belly up unless you've got a backup.

and hey 29k is twice what i'm making now at a 40/week hourly spot, so even if it's only for a few months i'll have time to sock away an unemployment fund.

thx latebloomer!!

I got laid off from my first job the day before I could collect unemployment!

Yea, HOOS, do you have any bartending experience?

i will dial 1-800-bar-tend

Srsly my current job does free training for bartending license and I'm thinking about doing it before I go anywhere.

dude across from me in the lab right now is blasting "yahh trick yahh" mad loud on headphones and the lab tech across the room is nodding and rapping along

i realized about ten minutes ago that (at least for the next year until--if--i do grad school) my life is no longer divided into semesters and i don't know wtf that means lol

I wouldn't bother with your work's bartender training. Anyone can get TABC certified with a short class (and all wait/bar staff are supposed to be) - all that is is "don't serve the drunk guy another three shots, or you're fucked."

The training itself will be pretty irrelevant anywhere else you go - they either want actual experience bartending, or else they'll want to train you in their system (or have you work your way up to the bar there).

I am in research methods lab class learning how to run statistical programs. good times.

My undergraduate university history goes:

2002-4: Computer Science
[DROPS OUT]
2004-6: Psychology
[CHANGES DEGREE DIRECTION]
2006-8: Philosophy

and now I'm currently wrapping up my dissertation, oh yeah. Well, by wrapping up I mean I still have another 2,500 words or so to go, but yeah. And then I have an exam for a Wittgenstein class that I learned very little from, oh yeah. That week after my dissertation is due and before the exam will have to be used well.

I wouldn't be going to the graduation if I weren't the first in my family to go to university, but they're all excited and I can't say no. It's so expensive. And fully of silly and mildly distasteful formalities. I've already spent £70 on the graduation fee (what's up with THAT? Passing my classes isn't enough) and garden party tickets (again, for the excited family), and still have to get a gown and a kilt, and photos. I've somehow managed to get through all of that time without having a job, so who knows what I'll do between now and having the means to do a Masters.

Hai guise I bought my cap/gown the other day.

hi5

who else is graduating from undergrad, just me hoos and jessie?

08 holla

my mom is sending a senior picture of me with every graduation invitation. u_u;

post plz

nope.

lol

my graduation is in exactly one month

awez

congrats to all the graduates!

I've got one more year to go before I get my M.P.A., and then it's no more college for me for all time, thank god.

(until I fail and then inevitably try to get a Ph.D somewhere lol)

school is like drugs, you can SAY you're kicking the habit for good, but give it time...

less than a month away, still got a couple of research papes and the second issue of the magazine i started :/

xpost to Z S

what mpa program are you at? im thinkina going that route in a few years, wouldn't know what to expect exactly.

I'm getting my undergrad, but I am older. 2 tests, a few papers, 110 clinical hours, 4 weeks, and 2 days to go...

a year and a half 'till my cap n' gown... lol college is boring at the moment, esp. my anthrolology class.

anthrolology

Oh man, now every time I process something for that department I'm going to have to resist the temptation to rename it.

I'm an undergrad, English Literature and German... don't graduate until 2011 though due to my year in Germany the year after next.

GOING TO BE IN LOL COLLEGE AGAIN SOON WHOOP WHOOP!

whoo whoooo

Mandee you should follow your dreams of become hairstylist & cosmetologist extraordinairre.

do you guys remember those group projects where everyone else in the group was seemingly illiterate? i'm cleaning up one of those right now

like, editing a 40 page paper due in 45 mins. i received 1 of the four sections about an hour ago and have yet to receive another

hooray!

i should really be posting to ilx right now

If there's anything I loathe, it is a group project. Oral presentations also suck.

I am supposed to be working on an oral presentation, with a partner, for tomorrow night. 15-20 minutes, graded on "completeness, accuracy, and creativity."

Total points for the project: TWO

Seriously, there are more criteria than points!

the only thing worse than a group project is an oral group presentation/project

Yep. I can't recall ever having a tolerable or even educational group work experience. Is this stuff just as bad at most schools, even the nice ones which would presumably have a higher ratio of bright kids who wanna get shit done?

Or am I completely RONG about non-shitty state schools?

is this the thread where i say I JUST TURNED IN MY LAST SEMINAR PAPER AND AM DONE DONE DONE WITH MY MA wooo

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've only done two group projects at university - the first one was really good, we were uber-keen first years and worked really hard at it, and pwned all the other groups who did presentations on the same day. The second was also quite good, though we did less stuff together as it was written rather than presented. Having said that both were fairly positive experiences, I still don't like the idea of working in groups...

Anyway, I should be working: 8 days left!

Also - yay for Adam! Exclamation marks agogo!

thanks guys! now i am going to get drunk in the mid afternoon! as the last gasp of my lol college experience.

Death to group work. It has given me nothing but fits this semester.

Last paper of undergraduate college career will be turned in next Wednesday at noon. Drinking begins 12:01.

i <3 group work

I HAVE FINISHED ALL OF MY DEGREE WORK.

Would be happier if I hadn't started this semester thinking I could get a first, but never mind. It is done.

Mother, concerned that son is a drunken layabout, writes to professor, professor writes back to tell mother that son is doing plenty thanks for asking, son complains about professor, professor gets reprimanded...

She complained her son was not "fully engaged" and had become "quite addicted to alcohol, smokes and has spent a great deal of time over the last nine months asleep".

turned in an almost 100 page project on tuesday. in comparison, my thesis will be about 30 pages. oral presentation next tues. 2 take home exams, 2 in-class finals, and then i am done for the year!

adam you are done already? congrats! didn't you just start this year? jealousssss.

taking a summer class where we spend three weeks doing nothing but reading Ulysses. needless to say, it's been pretty fun so far.

i want to go to lol college

similarly to normal college, weed would be the major expense

you need to go to lol college

I am going for an interview at LOL college.

Where?

I've been done for the summer for about a week and damn it feels good. My grades are all in and I've wound up with a 3.8 cum GPA for my first year grad school. :-) Now I get to enjoy the summer while searching for an internship for the fall. I can't wait. Free time = YAY!

CMU. Technically i haven't even applied yet, but I am visiting, meeting with the programme director and other faculty and have been asked to supply a resume so I am treating it as an interview.

LJ CAN YOU CONFIRM

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7422730.stm

BBC NEWS | UK | L0IUS J4GGER MAKES TRIUMPHANT RETURN

i can indeed confirm, although the most OTM bit in the article is the bit where someone says "This isn't news". in the context of the paper, a discussion of lyric as a balance between the definitions of something that is sung versus an artist's personal expression of feelings, comparing a more overtly poetic, personal piece such as raleigh's with the almost complete submission to populism and sound ahead of sense in the winehouse was entirely fathomable, and i didn't think "OMG WAU" or "ALERT THE PRESSES" when i saw the question (i mean who the fuck did). i only chose it because i didn't fancy some of the others so much.

One step closer to being back in LOL college. Visited CMU and they seemed to really like me.

Also, whoo, LJ BA Cantab. OW etc. or whatever you get to call yourself now.

"Sire"

Didn't know you could absent-mindedly throw yr school into yr title! I guess it's only feasible if you went to one of the Big Fourteen (or however many there are). Kickass. Where's Dom and Noodle Vague? :D

(I think I'll stick at LJ, although "Sire" may brook exploration...)

Anyone else get their results today? I won at university.

gg emil.y!!

retrospective well dones to emily!

erm

i get mine in like 11 hours

I'm officially flunking out ((again!) because of incompletes.
And I am lol old! I have five incompletes....and each prof is really eager for me to finish.
I have a really hard time finishing stuff.

I just have a mental break ...I mean, every single course, I have completed EXCEPT for the final paper, or the two final papers. And I have done it so often that I have five Incompletes, which turn into IF's - and then you get kicked out of school.

So now I am negotiating with Profs. , and they are enthusiastic about giving me a grade. My GPA is 1.6 or something at this point.

The thing is, I have done the work - I'm so mental that I keep revising it or something. I have to just finish the papers.
Seriously, I always do all of the work right up until the end of the semester and then I stall.

I'm basically the worst student ever - but I was getting a lot of grants before I started stopping.

I hope this makes all other lol college types feel better.

gonna be back in LOL college a month and a half.

also Ed u movin to pittsburgh??

august :(

Potentially, in january, if I ever get this application essay done.

lol about to go and assess the damage

three hours ago. real drunk or real dead?

My graduation ceremony was yesterday. I was left to sheepishly stand at the side of the stage for far too long as the Dean missed my name, didn't look up to see if people were actually coming onstage, and just kept going through the list. Fackin knew there would be embarrassment of some sort.

yo i got a 2.1 y'allz

It doesn't figure highly in the classics curriculum.

Which is why, perhaps, that Cambridge classics student L0u1s J4gg3r didn't quite manage to get a grip of the jelly wrestling competition rules at an end-of-exams celebration.

The 21-year-old graduate wore the requisite bikini, jumped into the pool and gave quite a good account of himself in the grappling department, easily overcoming his rather more svelte opponent.

Still two weeks to go! We start late because we're cooler than you

environmental policy! fancy

guys, the concept of poptimism is blowing minds.

What class?

"wait, wait, wait...so you like the pixies AND justin timberlake?"

Isn't poptimism just consumer-level pomo applied to contemporary pop culture? I'd think it'd be old hat in a college course.

not a class yet! just new friends. and they all like girl talk.

I interviewed Girl Talk on Monday!

also, how loser-ish would have it have been had i corrected this jackass econ teacher who said something about Britney Spears finally quitting music?

"Uh, professor, first off, Britney released her greatest album yet in December, and more importantly, she's working on another album right now that's supposedly going to be even better. OK?"

He's in my cell phone! (that one blew minds, too)

what are they drilling into your heads over there anyway?? terrible

Where you at, TS? Mizzou?

Yes, Mizzou. I'm dropping that Econ class, I think. It's just a one hour lecture that tries to connect journalism and economy. It was so scattered and pointless...added nothing to my normal econ class.

the less blowing-minds you do in college, the easier it will be for you to look back on freshman year without being incredibly embarrassed

i don't know if i agree -- i mean, i'd look back with shame if i couldn't own up to all the MINDBLOWING ECLECTIC music i like.

maybe the embarrassment curve swings back the other way but at 22 and 6 months out of college i dont ever want to think about how i must have sounded four years ago

I already am embarrassed! I know (and say) too much about the journalism school and its failures.

someone should bump this in four years.

i feel u dude

how come i never post on this?

girl talk is good

i kept my challops to myself freshman year

wtf is challops?

srsly its challops this challops that all of a sudden and I haven't a fucking clue

its a dying meme, don't worry.

also i don't have the personality like tape store has to go around challenging ppl, it makes me feel uncomfortable, though to lots of ppl in college, earnestly liking akon is like descending from mars

xpost (CHALLenging OPinion)

the most challops-y i got was "hey guys death cab and the shins are boring"

I think I was a bit like that in first year at college but not so bad, just when ppl came to my house I'd play britney and laurie anderson (BIG phase) as well as all the old favourites. I flipped "Do Something" backwards on audacity, it was a hit.

i fucking love do something

no one say challops ever again

it sounds like a meat product

I hope to get all of my challops lined up this year at lol college

i am starting moar lolcollege in september! two-semester certificate program in green building.

I'm starting my final year of lol college in a couple weeks

My classes so far are pretty cool. European Novel (a bunch of obscure stuff - only well-known novels are Don Quixote + Sentimental Education. Other stuff is like Roth's Radizkty's March + Schulz's Crocodile Street), Media + the Election (which isn't brilliant, but if I'm gonna obsess over the election I might as well get credits for it), a Creative Non-Fiction class, and finishing up my senior thesis.

We're reading Don Quixote. Worst discussion group ever. The big lecture was pretty fantastic, though!

guys i ran into tape store on campus the other day lol

Cool. We had to read the whole thing in prep for the first day of class - such a freakin long book.

I'm not sure my grad school is lol grad school but we did have our pre-start informal ice cream social yesterday! And a battery of language placement test next week. Eep.

I gotta apply to grad school this semester.

Make sure to go to one where you get free ice cream.

LOL!

my grad program boozes us up on a regular basis. and feeds us meditteranean food and pizza. the fridge is stocked with beer and white wine.

it is a writing program, but really. it's kind of awesomely silly.

i'm all registered for classes! NO TURNING BACK

There's not much else to do in a writing program other than drink, is there?

well, drink, write, repeat.

i'm about to fail my first lol major test :(

Hey Tape Store. Graham Hall, 1992.

5 years from now, you won't think twice about this test.

lol college is currently ;_; college

Thanks for the comforting words, PP. I think I knew most of the test, but I really screwed up my timing. So I think I lost a lot of points (btw, Graham Hall is being renovated this year, i think). And I'm sorry Abbott, but I think the '5 years' line probably works with you, too (even if it's not a test that's making school ;_;).

My 'five years from now'...would have been in 2002...my second year of college. I'm still in college.

undergrad

what grad am I even under these days?

And fudging one major test will not hurt you at all, Stape Tore. Esp the first test of a semester - lets you know exactly what you need to do on/for the next tests to get where it is you want to be. (You can use a calculator to comfort you.)

Sure feels crappy, tho, I feel ya.

Oh I guess I saw this 2 years too late. Jibe, you still around? And if so, did you end up at SP?

i am now considering dropping out:

I am officially lol finished with everything as of 11am. Now two blissful weeks of killing time, getting bored, and worrying about the future until I lol graduate and stuff.

has anyone here in/recently in college ever been fortunate enough to be directed/allowed to livetweet class by the prof?

as a teacher this sounds to me like the most backwards-ass idea about what to do in the classroom and what to do when you're sharing space with a bunch of intelligent interested supposedly informed (if they did the reading) people that i can only hope the global warming catastrophe comes quick so that we run out of power to run smartphones

guys, the concept of poptimism is blowing minds.

"wait, wait, wait...so you like the pixies AND justin timberlake?"

Isn't poptimism just consumer-level pomo applied to contemporary pop culture? I'd think it'd be old hat in a college course.

also, how loser-ish would have it have been had i corrected this jackass econ teacher who said something about Britney Spears finally quitting music?

"Uh, professor, first off, Britney released her greatest album yet in December, and more importantly, she's working on another album right now that's supposedly going to be even better. OK?"

Where you at, TS? Mizzou?

― jaymc, Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:14 PM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Yes, Mizzou. I'm dropping that Econ class, I think. It's just a one hour lecture that tries to connect journalism and economy. It was so scattered and pointless...added nothing to my normal econ class.

the less blowing-minds you do in college, the easier it will be for you to look back on freshman year without being incredibly embarrassed

― max, Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:24 PM (6 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

i don't know if i agree -- i mean, i'd look back with shame if i couldn't own up to all the MINDBLOWING ECLECTIC music i like.

maybe the embarrassment curve swings back the other way but at 22 and 6 months out of college i dont ever want to think about how i must have sounded four years ago

I already am embarrassed! I know (and say) too much about the journalism school and its failures.
