It’s a new year! I know, “whooptie woot. So what.” And I bet you can’t believe how many bogus classes you’re signed up for that have absolutely nothing to do with your major. I’m sure you feel tried for every class you ever took and are going to take that doesn’t fit into Areas F and G.
I feel for you brilliant people pursuing a career in medicine but stuck in American government trying to figure out the best angle to suck up to your professor without being put on blast. This is for you, my classy business majors sitting in a speech course praying that ratemyprofessor.com gave you accurate results. This is for the computer science majors anxious to get back home and play W.O.W. rather than debate Aristotle’s philosophies that won’t help you better read html. Even my tasteful early childhood education majors…well, this may not really apply to you. No class should really seem that far fetched.
And most of all, this is for you, my peoples that just don’t a give a (insert bad word of choice). The ones that believe getting a degree is useless in today’s “economy.” The ones that know they can’t sit up front because the lecturer knocks you out harder than Marquez did Pacqiou at their last fight. The ones that have lost all hope and are fearful that they’re career after college will be unfulfilling.
But, to my sophisticated readers, all of you, filled with so much spite. Look on the bright side. At least you get to meet someone new to call your “study buddy.” Take me, a Poly Sci major. I dreaded having to learn about covalent bonds. But a fine lil’ classmate in that chemistry class I took one semester taught me a whole lot of things. And, well you know what they say “you get out what you put in?” And I put a whole lot in! Yea, I skated by with a C but understood an even more valuable lesson. You do most of you’re learning outside of the classroom.
So, there’s two things I’m trying to say here. First, yea, we’re subject to take a lot of unnecessary classes that we’re going to resent. But I’d also like to convey that it’s too soon to have those feelings. Find something to be positive about or else this is going to be one long semester.
