“Don’t USE business sources” really?

“there is a lot of feminist research on this topic”

DON’T look at numbers and studies

HA HAAHA THIS MAKES ME SO TERRIFIED TO GO TO COLLEGE

I really thought that the whole “sjws at college” was more of a meme and there weren’t a lot of them there but then I saw numerous videos about social justice at college and now I’m scared.

That’s partially why I stopped going. The amount of over the top social justice bullshit at the campus I went to was cringey af. Especially here in liberal hell (aka California) where trying to disprove something an sjw professor says is p much asking for a failing grade or a very long talk with the Dean for just a passing grade.

Honestly, do community college first for the first two years, you save a ton of money and get to avoid most of this type of stuff.

My economics teacher was like this. He would go around and ask the class who was a feminist and who was a democrat. If i didnt need that grade, i might have complained.

Honestly I hate the liberal politics and pseudo intellectualism surrounding universities. Like- i’m only here to study medicine, I don’t want to listen to your politics.

The wage gap isn’t real. It’s an earnings gap. Woman aren’t paid less, we tend to work jobs that pay less and work less hours.

patron-saint-of-smart-asses:

people need to stop equating “college educated” with “intelligent”, there have been far too many incidents reported that expose academia as a cesspool for intellectual and political bigotry for y’all to be like “lol only college educated smarties like ME vote blue!!!”

Update: Email From Professor

—yesterday—

“Ian,

Your attendance in this class has been amazing – however, you have missed a few assignments. Please come to my office tomorrow to discuss a solution, and maybe I can give you an extra credit opportunity.

-[not going to say his name]”

“Hello Professor [not going to say his name],

Thank you for the offer – perhaps I can bring my academic counselor to the meeting? It would be very helpful.”

“Ian, please meet me before class in my office. This is not an appropriate setting for an academic counselor.”

“Ok, I understand. I’ll bring a friend from class. See you then!”

“No, this is a private meeting. Thank you.”

—today—

“I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to make the meeting later today. Perhaps we can just talk right before or after class?”

“Ian, your grade is at stake. Please meet me. Don’t bring a classmate or counselor. If you want extra credit, you must come to the meeting.”

“Sorry, but I don’t think it’s appropriate or fair to offer extra credit opportunities just to me and not my classmates who are also struggling. While I appreciate the offer, I’d rather just do the regular work assigned.”

“I will see you after class in my office. Don’t be late, or you could fail.”

—now what???—

I’d say bring a friend or classmate without asking. Let him/her know what’s going on, if only that you’re uncomfortable. I would have done it before class so that people would have been suspicious if you were late, but since it’s after maybe say you have an appointment – with your counselor, for example. I still dislike that the college is so biased against you but these seem to me to be the best course of action for now.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOW THE SCHOOL AND YOURE PARENTS!!!

Keep these receipts because he is explicitly trying to get you alone. Do not go to the meeting. Bring this up to the Dean or Registrar. Stay SAFE.

Why Movies About College are Actually Full of Shit.

This is very important because my brother and I grew up thinking college was like this. Like we would live out a beer commercial.

And when I got to college and it DIDN’T happen, it stressed me out. I thought I was doing something wrong again. I had, apparently, messed up high school according to the media, and now college?! The supposed best time of my life?! It created a big depression, and living far from home made it worse as I had no friends or family I could immediately talk to. It took a long time for me to understand that movies and commercials and shows that portray college like that is complete and utter bullshit.

Also, a reminder: 

Most Americans don’t have college degrees. Of the ones who do, tons of them don’t finish in four years. 

Lots of people go to community colleges. 

Lots of people live at their parents’ house while in school. 

The TV and movie stereotype of college–even just the “everyone goes to college and lives in a dorm” thing–only a tiny minority of Americans actually live that out. 

wild-cryptid:

every semester, without fail, there’s some freshman who’s like “oh I never check my email lol” and i get worried for them, bc they’re going to miss some important email about a pop quiz or a test, or something and then fail. so if you’re a freshman reading this, CHECK YOUR EMAIL im not joking, professors will send you stuff via email that they’ll never mention in class. I’m in my email every hour on the hour before and after class. check that shit. put that app on ur phone, turn on notifs, go in and refresh every hour, check your spam, check your email

this has been a message from your concerned dad. check ur email, do well in school, i love you

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download. 

Spreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive. 

not necessarily art related but as someone who couldn’t afford their textbooks this semester this is a godsend

REBLOGGING because after a little digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.

friendly reminder that this exists since I know we’re all going back to college soon
