College
Whatever you heard about college. don’t believe it.
All those movies that depicted this place are terribly terribly wrong. Damn you American Pie!
And don’t believe it if you’re older bro/sis or friends told you that this place is cool as hell.
They’re just giving you a false hope. Pretty much the same way your parents did when they told you that Santa Clause is real or when AUP (translation for idiots: AUP is my school) told you that AUP is quite famous here in Philippines. Well, they got a really good brochure and propaganda and that’s the first reason why i transffered to AUP academy and leave Indonesia.
(Don’t get me wrong, but i think that i begin to love AUP. Strange though, but i think AUP is a great place although-again- nobody really know what AUP is)
In reality, Santa Clause is dead and again, nobody ever heard of the word ‘AUP’. Well, just like this following conversation:
A guy who is obviously an ass: Hey kiddo, Where did you study again?
me: (smiling) AUP
A guy who is obviously an ass: Huh? what?
me: (still smiling ‘cuz i’m actually a good guy and polite) AUP
A guy who is obviously an ass: UP (University of the Philippines)? Whoaa! That’s cool. Its really seldom to see a foreign student studying in UP.
me: No sir, you got that wrong… it’s AUP.
A guy who is obviously an ass: Huh? AUP what is that? Abnormal University of the Philippines? (laughing)
Well, i then laugh a little to appreciate his dry sense of humor then i shot his f*cking face off. And that’s the last time i saw that guy.
Anyway, back to my topic. Like all forms of educational intitutions…College sucks. And it will always be… It could be worst though… but not all things sucks… Thank God there is such thing as justice.
For one thing, i met a few of new people and get to know them for a bit. Well, not necessarily “new people” some of ‘em are actually old acquintances but then as i’ve said before.. i get to know them a bit….
Anyway… i’m out of ideas of what to write… so i’m just gonna let you guys know a few things that i learn in college:
- I’m majoring in laboratory science. The only tougher course offered in my college is math (and chemistry? maybe). Most of the pre-clinical subjects offered are virtually useless and has a little actual connection with my professional carrer.
- Physics 1 sounds like an easy class because of the number next to the course, but Physics, regardless of the level, is way TOO hard to even attempt. This class should be called:
“Physics 1- You 0″
-I know what you’re thinking, -1 times -1 is +1, so two boring subjects fused together like: Communication Arts must be interesting. That logic is correct until you realize that two wrongs don’t make a right. Instead, you find yourself in a class that’s boring for TWO reasons. Time is of essence, so drop out immidiately!
-Class attendance is overrated. Simply showing in your class will not improve your grade. In average, your professor will give five random attendance checks during a semester, and for every check you miss, your final grade will be penalized 3 percent from your grade. However, most of your teachers are not really great at math– so don’t worry too much.
There you have it. a quick reality check-up of college. Hope this helps!
