Socially retarded student's exam returned to him

This scan of a Chemistry student's graded exam is pretty hilarious. And also a little nuts?

Summer is here and it will leave just as fast as it got here. How was everyones first year? Can you believe how fast it went?

I stayed in my hometown and attened a community college. Today driving by the road my best friend from high school lives on i found myself suprised at how much time we have spent together. Through the year everytime she was in town i was at her house (sometimes before she even got there) now that she is home from school for the summer we are not spending any time together. I guess most of us are going through this but i just wanted to see how many others are! I feel guilty because now we have time to spend together and i have so many other things i rather do. I guess we are just drifting apart....

going to the class of 2008 graduation, did it bring back any memories?

1st year

2008-05-06T00:34:52Z

So I was just browsing and thinking about this community. How did each one of your first year of either college or work or whatever it is that you did go for you? Did you gain the infamous "freshman fifteen", did you finally break out of your shell and become more outgoing? How was the workload for everyone?

For me I had a blast this year. It's crazy but I can't believe that the first year is over for me just about in a week. Today was the last day of classes and now Finals start on Thursday for us. I must say though that I am going to miss so many people in my dorm, I've made amazing friends and I can't believe that we've only been in school for 9 months but I felt like I knew them my entire life. I must say I didn't change that much though, stayed the same but did become a little bit more outgoing and I didn't gain the freshman fifteen which I must say I am happy about.

Hey everyone :)

I, too, have a question just out of curiosity, haha. We're all done with our first semester/trimester/quarter of college and well underway on our second term (except if you have a short term like me, and you might be on a break between J-term and Spring semester!) We've grown out of our homesickness (hopefully!), made new friends, and are participating in exciting new things.

So now that we all (hopefully) have acclimated and are able to see the pros and cons of our chosen college in a more objective light, who among us is transferring? Hahaha :) It'd be cool just so we could all know we're not alone!

I'll start -- my name is Joy from Chicagoland and I'm officially a sophomore (but I did graduate high school in 2007, I promise I belong here lol) at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. I'm hoping to transfer to Lawrence University in Appleton, WI for the fall trimester. I'm transferring out because my school is REALLY small (<800 students. My graduating class size from hs > my school's total undergraduate enrollment), I hate the location, find the social life lacking (suitcase school -- at least half of the school leaves on the weekends), and find that a lot (but not all) of the students there are not people I would never associate myself with. Classes are also waaaay easier than they were in high school and that bothers me since the other two colleges I was debating between attending are known for very rigorous and demanding workloads (Bryn Mawr College and Reed College.) Those are just a few of the reasons I'm planning on transferring.

Anyone else? :)

Just out of curiosity.. how many of us still hang out with our friends from high school?

Some friends and I are trying to change the food service provider (Sodexho) at my current college and we need some input from fellow undergrads! If you could fill this out for me, I would greatly appreciate it. If the comments and personal experience box isn't long enough, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!!!

Hey guys,

2007-12-18T19:21:30Z

We are all about done with our first semester of college.

How was it? Bad/good/not worthy?

It was fine, excpet the whole issue regarding English, but it's not too bad.

Stories? Tragdies? Comedies? Any ancdotes?

So...

2007-10-02T04:50:04Z

it's been roughly about a month or two since we've all started college.

How's everyone doing?

My first day in college

2007-09-05T06:13:16Z

Hola guys&gals,
Today was my first day of college. I go to a cummunity..*Riverside Community College* and was like soo different from High School. Well I knew it would be but it's weird to go from the circus of a h.s. I went to,to a very calm college.
One thing I am not use to is paying attention to little details. Although my teacher was nice she said it clearly, she does not care if you don't get your assignments in on time, she will not accept late work. What I do like is taking classes you want and going at your time.
The only thing that sucked was parking..not because crowded*well it was ;) * but because I was driving my dad's car *newish 06 honda* and almost hit the car beside me lol.
And books~my goodness!

So has anyone else started college?
If so what did you like about college and what didn't you?

USAFA BCT was SICK. It was freaking hard, but overall, it was fun. I enjoyed it :)

I got to shoot M16 rounds at targets, and then in Scnario Warrior Ops, I got to shoot M16 blanks at my friends and at "terrorists". I worked a CEP and got to kill a sucide bomber, i got to crowd surf, sit in a plane with people and watch them jump out of it, do the obstacle and assualt courses, diving for grenades and crawling under barbed wire with small arms fire... USAFA is not a normal college... its hard but fun. The Ac year ain't so bad either, you have friends here for life, ive only been in CO since late june, and I've already made lifelong friends and had unforgettable times. You should transfer to USAFA next year... but yea.

Anyways even though ive been in "college" for a while, a bunch of you are starting tomorrow, and i just wanted to say good luck. CHEM 100 sucks.

GOOD LUCK!

and it all begins

So the summer has zipped by.

I now live in the bay area, california, away from all that i've ever known.
I love it.
I feel like I can now create myself away from what I've been.

School starts next monday.
I'm still trying to get classes and they are filling up like CRAZY
My boy has moved to San Francisco for school
and there are so many changes going on.

It's rather overwhelming, if anything, a tad bit depressing.
Is anybody else feeling blue at times for what seems to be no reason at all?

Packing

2007-08-16T06:48:18Z

In just two days, I'll be leaving home on a 6/7-hour drive to Berkeley. I've been packing throughout the week. I feel like I'm taking WAY too much. I have 2 suitcase bags, 2 cardboard boxes, and 2 big shopping bags filled with just my clothes. I have to confess that I like variety and hate wearing the same thing. Besides the clothing, there is so much more that I'm taking up there.

Anyone else in a packing predicament?

Just curious....

Who is going to CSU East Bay?

anyone skipping this semester, or the whole year? if so, why? i am, because i missed all the scholarship and financial aid deadlines. whoops.

I just now joined this community

2007-07-22T11:29:57Z

Hi everybody... I see that everyone is posting what's happned since they've graduated... well, my graduated life doesn't feel any different than any other year. I graduated in May and in August I start school again. It's the same routine for me, lol. I am going to go to VHCC and take Business Administration. I am going to miss high school so much!!

assessment testing

2007-07-20T18:15:20Z

besides being behind on all sorts of college things since I just moved to California at the beginning of July, I finished my assessment testing!
Next?
Orientation and choosing classes August 1st
hooray.

I'm excited for school to start =]
I'm just bummed I have like 3 local friends right now.
I need to meet some people!

classof2007 @ 2007-07-18T23:38:00

2007-07-19T03:38:56Z

So I can't decide if I'm excited about college or wicked wicked nervous about it.

Guaranteed Admission

2007-07-16T18:09:39Z

So...

I never posted about UVM Orientation that happened in the beginning of June, though it was fun.

I never posted about finally graduating at the end of June, though it was good.

I never posted about anything else at all, until now.

Today, I received in the mail a letter (and a little more) from Cornell, telling me that I'll have guaranteed admission to the university in the Fall of 2008, as long as I make sure to follow all sorts of guidelines during my 2007–2008 school year at UVM. And it specifically states that AP scores accepted at UVM may not be accepted at Cornell (I'm going to check on those when I'm finished typing this) and placing out of a course at UVM does not fulfill the Cornell requirements. Which means that if Cornell doesn't accept my AP scores, but UVM accepts them to place out of courses that Cornell requires, I'll have to take them again at UVM anyway.

Plus, I don't even know if I want to go to Cornell. The letter mentions that the form is non-binding, but I'd still have to take Cornell's required courses, just in case. Here's my real dilemma: Cornell is a prestigious school, and it'd be cheaper for me to go there because we're both in New York. But I've never actually been to Cornell, I don't know what it looks like, I don't know what the people are like. And they don't have the exact major that I'm about to major in at UVM (Molecular Genetics). Instead, I'd have to major in "Biological Sciences"... gee, isn't that specific? And the deadline for the form is August 1.

I don't know what I want to do. I mean, I'll send in the form... it'll only cost me the 41 cents to mail. But I don't know what I'll do after that. Any suggestions?

I'm here.

2007-07-10T20:03:18Z

So now that I'm all graduated and business my changes have begun!

I moved to California July 1st from Michigan.
It has been amazing so far.
Been doing the basics
New Bank.
Drivers License.
Switching Address.
New Job.
Switching Area Code on Cell
Etc. etc. etc.
OH

2007-07-09T16:55:18Z

I would like to believe that my school [Hollywood High] has one of the coolest graduation locations EVER

_{[The Hollywood Bowl]}

As of the 27th of June I am officially a first-generation graduate, with 19 honor classes, 3 years on varsity cheer, and a 3.4 GPA under my belt :]

SO, ever since I graduated. Shit has exploded.
I've been throwing up, got into my first car accident, my mom is FORCING me to be a christian, otherwise she won't let me go to college. I've had my car and my phone taken away...

So far, the graduated life is not suiting me...
