So I know we have a lot of college guys here, how'd everybody's finals go?

I had one of the shittiest finals schedules I've ever had... 2 days 4 finals with 7:45am's both days... plus my girlfriends whorebag roommate who finished early invites a friend from back home over and they are loud as shit all night. not one of my better semesters but only 1 more to go!

I'm done with finals, but my schedule was Wednesday 8 AM and then 10:30, Thursday 8AM and then 10:30. So both days back to back, it sucked. I passed all my classes, and somehow pulled a B in organic chemistry. woooo.

I finished last week...I had Mon, tues, thurs, and fri. I got home late friday night..I thought I was getting almost all As this semester but participation KILLED me. Dropped most of my grades down to a B.

participation or attendance?

I had two finals(yay for being a TV major) One in a math class the other in a regulation and law class. Both were a lot easier than I thought they would be.
We were offered 2 choices for the math final. A 6 question take home that was difficult, or an easier in class. I didn't get the take home finished to I went to the in class. Only 4 people out of 20+ showed up for the in class and the teacher wrote down all the equations we would need and made it easy. Then told us to only do 3 questions.

I'm a News broadcast and production major. We don't get homework, instead we get 5 days a week up to 13 hours a day at a news station to produce a live nightly news broadcast(we are 1 out of 5 schools in the nation that do nightlies).There have even been a few instances where I am at the station for 18 hours out of a 24 hour period of time. We are there even when other classes are being canceled because of snow.
Our station broadcasts to tens of thousands of local residents and is ranked higher than other stations in Vermont such as Fox.
We are expected to be perfect and when we are not we get our asses chewed out by the department head.
We run the station without much help from our professors. Next semester I expect to be directing news shows and with all luck I will be sending at least one of them in for review to possibly win an Emmy.
In other words fuck off with your pussy ass papers and tests.

im a biology major, try research, labs, and organic chemistry.

Unknown_Sniper · 12-22-2007, 02:37 AM

Research, labs, and organic chem....
Honestly, I wont lie. Thats not my cup of tea. Keep in mind though that each of our majors are different. You have your head buried in books and stats and all other sort of boring info. doing work that most likely has already been done. I have my eye glued to a viewfinder, most likely out in below freezing temps as it seems it's always winter in northern Vermont. I enjoy going outside, meeting different people and getting some amazing shots.
And don't be fooled for one second. Just because we don't do labs, or have to write a 50 page thesis, doesn't mean we work less than anyone else.

i just hate it when people dont have finals or take bs classes. i know someone who is an elementary education major, and she takes classes like "The Fundamentals of Adding and Subtracting" and "The Fundamentals of Multiplying and Dividing." As much as I respect teachers, we learned that shit in high school, why the hell are you paying 20k+ to be able to teach 8 year olds? if you are in college, you should learn things you could only learn in college. and im stuck taking two semesters of a 300 level chemistry class as a biology major that is required. its used as a weed out class for bio majors which i find complete bullshit, but whatever.

a good friend of mine was a tv production major, she is now working at a local tv station for a little more than minimum wage. she hates it. its a tough field to find a good job.

I believe they HAVE to go to college to teach 8 year olds. Notice how all your past and present teachers have had degrees?? Its kinda how these things work.

Im a Crim Justice major and I only had 2 finals

or people can do what they like and you can respect them for that. Not everyone is gonna be a doctor and a lawyer. I dont care if someone is a pre-med or a cinema major, they are hopefully doing what their heart is into. Some people get awesome tattoos, others get Jersey Wave tattoos, its kind of the same thing.

Jotun, just remember, there is always someone out there that has it worse than you....
