College Is Too Easy

Here's entry one. First, I really dislike writing. I prefer the language of formulas and equations rather than flowery diction and imagery. High School English class made me want to brush my teeth with a razorblade. In my junior year, I was forced to watch and write a paper on Frozen, fuck you Mrs. T. For some reason, my "toxic masculinity" was not appreciated in that classroom.

Anyway, I fully expect no one to read this blog and honestly I hope no one reads this blog. 

So here's my first controversial opinion: college is way too fucking easy. I don't know why students complain so much about school, especially engineering students. A common course load at my school is 16 credits. That's 16 hours per week in class. Add on another 16 or so hours for homework and studying and you've got a grand total of 32 hours per week of work. Now think about what happens when you graduate. I plan on working 40-50 hours per week minimum until I die. Coupled with the fact that the student can choose when they devote the extra hours outside of class to studying and coursework makes my argument valid. 

Besides time, I find professors give out far too many undeserved A's. Right now I've got a 3.9/4.0 GPA and I'm 6 months from graduation. I've never received beneath an AB (90% roughly). I like to believe I'm fairly hard-working and I always turn in all my assignments on time, but there have been classes where I could barely keep up with the professor's lectures and I somehow didn't get a B. I still don't really know what I was supposed to be learning in MA-388 number theory.

I think the main reason professors refuse to give me a B is because of my competition. In difficult classes, it doesn't matter if I don't crush the exam as long as I know more than the kid sitting next to me. This is where things become interesting. That kid probably was up all night playing video games or drinking with his buddies which caused him to get a 30% on his exam. Even if I also failed, I'll look a lot better compared to that kid, and the professor will rank me accordingly.

To future university students, don't worry if the material you are learning isn't sticking. If you want A's, sit at the front of the class, turn in all your work on time or early, pretend like you give a shit about what the professor is saying, and crush the kid sitting next to you. Play mind games with your classmates. Let them know who the mental alpha is, even if you doubt yourself.

College is too easy and flunking out isn't about knowledge. It's about work ethic, discipline, and being competitive with your classmates. This is also why I don't have friends. But fuck it, 3.9 GPA bitch!
