I don't even know where to begin. Well, actually, let's start with yesterday. I was unable to turn in my business plan presentation due to the campus network being down. The fucking network administrators on that campus are completely dense. They can't keep the network running smoothly for more than one solid day, and if they do that, it's a fucking miracle. Of course, I realise I should've made backup copies of my work onto a disk, and not relied on the network status of people who I KNEW were too fucking retarded run a decent network. Economics is s.o. f.u.c.k.i.n.g. s.h.i.t.t.y. Some of these professors are just so incredibly boring and know-it-all that it is a pain to sit through one of their classes. I get that weltering urge in my stomach to argue with these professors like the highschool teachers I had before. They are assholes, and I'd love to challenege their "wordly" fucking intelligence.

The most annoying habit of professors is their increasing propensity to be hypocrites. I despise professors who break the very own rules they set. For example, deducting points from students who are late, while they themselves arrive late to class on ocassion. I say, it would be a lovely day when attendees of these annoying classes formed a revolt against these hypocrites and gave them 40 lashings for each infraction of their own law made. I also believe the same should be done to sinful preachers who do not repent as often or more than they instruct others to. Of course, I'm keeping my mind open to simply taking all of them out to the middle of campus and stoning them. The end.

Update:

Instead of starting a new threat, I'm just going to update this one...

More reasons why Economics sucks. Out of all the groups to be in out of the entire class, I ended up in the one which was full of asshats. Yes, asshats. I can now look at them and just see that their brains, underneath these facades of skulls, and they are indeed really just asses inside there. When their ass of a brain farts, they release various expressions from their lips. Including sounds like, "uhhh..", "uhhmmm", and "oh, yeah..". That is the extent of their language capabilities. Anyhow, it's a 5-6 person group team project, and absolutely No one is doing any work so far but myself. Don't get me wrong, I'll finish it on my own to get my A, but these fuckers piss me off. Normally I'd attribute their lack of participation to my lack of information sharing. This time, though, I even went as far as to print out copies of the outline for the project and give it to them. I also let them know I was open to any suggestions. That is totally Too fucking nice, and if these fucks think I'll pull their dead weight, or help them, they can suck my rancid asshole. I'll tell you one thing: I'm not giving them any credit. In fact, I'm making it a point to say they didn't do jack shit, and they're all lazy mother fucks. Yes, group projects piss me off. I'm the only person who got screwed over doing the project alone out of the 5 groups in the class. I guess it has to happen to someone. I'm still getting my A... DIE BY SUFFOCATING IN THAT SEA OF MARSHMALLOWS THAT YOU SWIM IN EVERY NIGHT, FUCKERS!!

Deaf arch profs aren't much better... especially on grading... they expect us to be fucking machines.

Ivory Tower professors. They are present only to hear themselves pontificate! Just gotta suffer through it chicken. In the meantime you could start a few arguments just for interest.

I majored in econ, and only liked 1 instructor. I sort of liked another, but only because she actually reached out to help me at the end of a semester...otherwise she was a self-righteous witch.

My favorite instructors were always math & english profs.

My english and phil profs have been great thus far, which is probably why I'm majoring in english and philosophy.

Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Chemistry profs are all very good. You'd expect them to be dry, but they aren't. They're very passionate.

Maths are also pretty good, surprisingly.

Physics, Computer Science lecturers are totalitarian. "Your code must be simple, elegant and have judicious use of comments. By my standards!!!!!!"

Did someone forget to tell you that economics is an SJ dominated field?

My long-standing opinion of college (going with the topic of the thread title) is that it only serves its intended purpose if you strive for a professional career (i.e., doctor, lawyer, or some such thing which absolutely requires further acquisition of knowledge). Most of the people I know go to college because it's what you do after high school. With no specific career-goal in mind, the only function that college serves is as a dating service (with easy access to drugs). I suppose there's nothing wrong with that, especially if one's parents are paying for it.

I'm going for Economics or Anthropology (but a lot of both either way). Business school will be next. After that, working abroad in Dubai, where my race will take me farther than my personality (I also have a connection).

This is, of course, a very loose plan. Does it sound like something suited for an INTP?

Now I'm really curious to know what your race is. Several different options which might give you an advantage popped into my head, and I absolutely must have closure! ;)

Why don't you just go to a different school?

I went through 6 colleges and universities before finally finding one that I love.

Okay, that was one of the options I was thinking of. It was either that, or Middle Eastern, which would allow you to "fit in" better.
