Gravity: College | Sputnikmusic

Gravity 05.09.13	And yes, I've just discovered Radiohead. I've known about them of course but never took the time to listen to them.
silentstar 05.09.13	those sound like very useful courses. i bet they'd be helpful when serving coffee
evilford 05.09.13	"11.13.12 Favorite Deftones Songs - Tee Hee" lol
Curse. 05.09.13	of course a class on arguments would be stupid. Did you actually think anything useful would come outta that class
Curse. 05.09.13	also, you are taking bullshit entry level courses you pretentious twit
peaks40 05.09.13	it's ok, i also discovered radiohead late. better late than never. nice list, everything rules. and argument courses are useful
Mad. 05.09.13	^^ These comments sum up everything that needs to be said. Apart from Peak's cuz OK Computer sucks.
Trebor. 05.09.13	college > you
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	^^^
Uranium 05.09.13	You have a skewed view of college, my friend. Sure college is pointless if you get an art or english degree. How about you become a chemist or an engineer? I guarantee you know nothing about chemical, nuclear or mechanical engineering and if you were to go to school and study those subjects you would make a noble living.
peaks40 05.09.13	College is useful. A lot of things aren't practical but that's not the point
FromDaHood 05.09.13	Take one of those free courses MIT and Harvard offer online and see how well you do. And not some shit like "intro to talking" that you've already aced
Trebor. 05.09.13	college gets me out of the house and meeting people and helps me keep my mind stimulated and thinking you know wow
Trebor. 05.09.13	"I'm a junior in high school and decided to do post-secondary full time" Damn making shit up like "post-secondary full time" you really do need college my friend. Yeah I got a post-flupedeedoop job lined up for me but it's only part time
Gravity 05.09.13	Terbor 17 - ...What?
Trebor. 05.09.13	If you can't understand that then you definitely need college
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	flupedeedoopdadoodapeeepdoooooooo
Gravity 05.09.13	How is "post-secondary full time" made up?
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	Because what the fuck is that? That's why
Chortles 05.09.13	lol this list what the fuck
Uranium 05.09.13	Gravity - I'm getting my bachelor's in biochemistry and I have been talking with the senior criminalist of my state and have opportunities and interviews straight out of college to become a criminalist forensic scientist. The thing is you need at least a bachelor's in science to apply.
Gravity 05.09.13	It's when you get dual credits. Meaning you get both high school and college credit for taking college classes. It's also free. So suck my dick.
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	We call that Dual Enrollment, boy.
toxin. 05.09.13	yes college is basically useless and overpriced (unless you're getting a functional degree) but aren't you a little presumptous fuck
Gravity 05.09.13	My high school doesn't. Because it's retarded.
Uranium 05.09.13	lol toxin
Gravity 05.09.13	I'm sorry for angering all you prestigious college fags.
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	Have fun working at taco bell or something.
Gravity 05.09.13	I won't be. I'll be done with whatever degree I want before you probably since I started two years early. Haha.
SitarHero 05.09.13	you are taking bullshit entry level courses you pretentious twit [2]
Gravity 05.09.13	Well, hopefully these courses will actually become worthwhile.
Mad. 05.09.13	If all else fails, make a metalcore band. That's what the rest of them do.
Acanthus 05.09.13	The gen-ed section of college really drags, unluckily for me I'm going to do it over again. I can see it being more entertaining once you actually focus on your specific field, just takes awhile to get there.
Uranium 05.09.13	arguments, psychology, great books... ya not really
ZilbelPing 05.09.13	05. 9. 14 College Is Hard
chemicalmarriage 05.09.13	"You have a skewed view of college, my friend. Sure college is pointless if you get an art or english degree. How about you become a chemist or an engineer? I guarantee you know nothing about chemical, nuclear or mechanical engineering and if you were to go to school and study those subjects you would make a noble living." Noble Living lmao take the stick out of your ass
SitarHero 05.09.13	Intro-level liberal arts courses aren't going to do shit for you in the long run. Your best bet, as Uranium already stated, is to get an engineering degree because it'll make you most employable right out of college.
Gravity 05.09.13	Here's the best part. Math is dumb.
chemicalmarriage 05.09.13	You guys need to loosen the fuck up. If the dude wants to go to college to study philosophy go for it. Who gives a shit how much you make if you don't like what you do
chemicalmarriage 05.09.13	ehh whatevs
Acanthus 05.09.13	Yeah, go to college for shit you don't enjoy just so you can have a piece of paper saying you can do said shit. Sarcasm aside, highly recommend at least an Associates degree once you've had some time in-between the highschool/college period.
Gravity 05.09.13	I just don't understand this college craze. It's such a cluster fuck. In all honestly, I wouldn't be able to attain an engineering degree. I blow big wieners at math. But seriously, what is the point? Suicide.
klap 05.09.13	the best part about college is meeting new people and enjoying your freedom
SitarHero 05.09.13	"You guys need to loosen the fuck up. If the dude wants to go to college to study philosophy go for it. Who gives a shit how much you make if you don't like what you do" Leaving aside the fact that I have a major in philosophy, I guarantee that getting paid to do something you may not like is better than being paid nothing for doing nothing. It's a tough economy and it's not getting better anytime soon.
Gravity 05.09.13	When did I say "I'm not going to college?"
Gravity 05.09.13	Or, "I'm going to be a vagabond."
silentstar 05.09.13	"Here's the best part. Math is dumb" you wouldn't exist without math
SitarHero 05.09.13	"I just don't understand this college craze. It's such a cluster fuck. In all honestly, I wouldn't be able to attain an engineering degree. I blow big wieners at math. But seriously, what is the point?" The best alternatives are business, pre-law and pre-med. The latter two are obviously a risk because you still have to get into a decent law-school/med-school afterwards. That just leaves business/commerce/economics.
Uranium 05.09.13	math, like anything, becomes tolerable with practice. it's like doing puzzles, except it pays... a lot.
FigNewtns 05.09.13	you would exist without math, it's a language used to explain spacial/physical relationships. but yeah, without math you wouldn't be living as comfortably as you may be now. as far as engineering goes, depending on what tract you pursue, you don't really even need to be a math wiz to be able to do well in it, just fundamental understanding of physics and logic.
Uranium 05.09.13	"The best alternatives are business, pre-law and pre-med" Ya and then you still have to go to school for 4 more years for the latter. Honestly, if i could go back i would do engineering because it is the most solid degree.
Trebor. 05.09.13	Gonna make a living being creative or die trying
Acanthus 05.09.13	klap is pretty spot on, as a social experience it's amazing if you want it to be.
toxin. 05.09.13	"The gen-ed section of college really drags, unluckily for me I'm going to do it over again. " idk i took japanese as a foreign language req (awesome) and am taking psych over next year(supposed to be awesome). only GE i've taken that was bad was this stupid us history class that filled every stereotype of stupid liberal nonsense
Trebor. 05.09.13	"this stupid us history class that filled every stereotype of stupid liberal nonsense" What the fuck does this even mean
peaks40 05.09.13	Trebor is da fucking man
Hyperion1001 05.09.13	it means they dont teach the truth i.e. jesus founded the US
toxin. 05.09.13	"What the fuck does this even mean" exactly what it sounds like, we analyzed US history with this ridiculous liberal bias that's characteristic of higher education
toxin. 05.09.13	i'm not even white, don't mistake me for a conservative, but i thought we left behind howard zinn in high school
Trebor. 05.09.13	ummmm what like the KKK is bad?
peaks40 05.09.13	Philosophy is the greatest thing one can learn
Uranium 05.09.13	"i thought we left behind howard zinn in high school" fuck, i just started a peoples history...
apert 05.09.13	i don't know much about american education but the courses you're doing sound like bullshit, do something that would actually be useful like medicine, engineering or law
Hyperion1001 05.09.13	"with this ridiculous liberal bias that's characteristic of higher education" this is what people who dont go to college say about college
Eclecticist 05.09.13	Take some classes on law. Your tune will change.
toxin. 05.09.13	"this is what people who dont go to college say about college" lol i must not be in college then
Trebor. 05.09.13	"do something that would actually be useful like medicine, engineering or law" lol this is pedestrian shit bruv, I'm majoring in film, something actually useful to society. Tell me, how many doctors/engineers/lawyers have made classic films? None I suspect
peaks40 05.09.13	^trebs you're slowly becoming an inspiration
Uranium 05.09.13	dafuq did i just read
Trebor. 05.09.13	If you don't have a wikipedia page then you wasted your life
peaks40 05.09.13	LMFAO
Eclecticist 05.09.13	robert just killed more of my brain cells with a single post than all of the alcohol I consumed during my second year of uni cumulatively
Acanthus 05.09.13	@toxin - they just feel unnecessary sometimes, depending on the course/person. My favorite was Sociology and Music.
DanielNightLewis 05.09.13	Don't worry Gravity, you're just going through that stage in your teenage years when you feel like a big fish in a small pond, you'll soon realize and appreciate that you are just another one of life's bottom-feeders.
DanielNightLewis 05.09.13	The American further education system is weird, as an outsider I can't get my head around it fully. The UK system is a little less partisan as a whole but as a scientist my exposure to and knowledge of the inner workings of that side of education is very limited.
ZilbelPing 05.10.13	Music Major ftw
SitarHero 05.10.13	@HillaryClitTounge: LOL. That is all.
Treeman 05.10.13	honestly college is what you make of it dont listen to these people who are telling you that you have to get an engineering degree. Do what you want to do, having a college degree is going to make you a hell of a lot more employable than other people who dont have one already so dont worry. plus half of the social function of college is the freedom and having fun part. Helps you get out there on your own.
Hyperion1001 05.10.13	wow this thread is dumb
klap 05.10.13	there's different ideologies at every university. my university was actually fairly conservative although more so historically, it's fairly even now
MMX 05.10.13	Secondary Education major is the easiest shit ever, half my classes are borderline idiot level its kind of sad
toxin. 05.10.13	well to be fair klap most schools don't go by the moniker university of spoiled children, the rich white kid culture probably affects the teaching too
klap 05.10.13	yeah that's true. i'd imagine many private universities are like that
Sleaper 05.10.13	Uni/ college is very pointless and stupid for some majors/ degrees. Although i beg to differ that its crucial for many practical subjects. Media/arts is just about reading and writing stupid essays that spawn some aspect of a creative judgement... however law, accounting, IT, business, science degrees are very very very worthwhile because you learn things, and they give you knowledge for careers.
toxin. 05.10.13	idk harvard's pretty liberal, based on the harvard online editorials my friend there is always posting on fb. maybe there's a bias on her posts but i have a feeling the student population there thinks itself as intellectuals (so read: liberals)
klap 05.10.13	hahaha def, i would argue the vast majority of uni student editorials are liberal to begin with. plus i was implying that the culture influences the teaching, not that all private unis are more conservative
Sleaper 05.10.13	im guessing this threads about american universities. (TLDR) all ill say to that is.. i went to LA and was staying around UCLA. and thats a fucking party uni.. if i could study in the US id def study there.. or NYU.
Hyperion1001 05.10.13	"i have a feeling the student population there thinks itself as intellectuals (so read: liberals)" you suck
klap 05.10.13	haha pawpn i graduated from USC (UCLA's rival) and i daresay we party harder...
Sleaper 05.10.13	aha i heard bout USC. The frat party we went to, everyone was like YO YOU MENTION DAT SHIT, YOU OUTTA here dawg. (was mainly black dudes hence the typing)
Uranium 05.10.13	"it is expensive" dude, college was free for me. i didn't pay a damn cent. it's called financial aid at a non ivy league.
Acanthus 05.10.13	No loans to pay back?
Uranium 05.10.13	Nope, I never pulled out any loans. I will be handed my degree without ever paying a cent. The government pays for my books as well plus an extra $500 to survive on.
Sleaper 05.10.13	one of u american bros tell me what the deal is with IVY league. are all those schools really filled with rich greedy bankers children? or what
toxin. 05.10.13	yeah i guess my assumption that those editorials reflect the student population (and by extension what the professors are teaching) is probably unfounded. and come to think of it, as a science major i'm prob not the best to speak of biases in the humanities. anyways i'd agree that the culture there absolutely influences the teaching but i wonder how many (top) schools' student culture is conservative, beyond usc.
Uranium 05.10.13	"one of u american bros tell me what the deal is with IVY league" Basically, they are the prestigious schools of America that set many students up $50-100,000 in debt by the time they grab their diplomas.
Acanthus 05.10.13	@Uranium - so full ride scholarship, military, tons of normal scholarships?
Uranium 05.10.13	no scholarships, just the pell grant and state grant which is fortunately enough to cover everything.
slipnslide 05.10.13	lol who needs school when you have cough syrup
slipnslide 05.10.13	i cant read very well but if there aint no pictures around them words i couldnt be fucked to read it anyhow
Acanthus 05.10.13	That's awesome, can't imagine what that would be like; loans add so much stress to college.
Keyblade 05.10.13	15 year old kid takes "Arguments" and "Great Books II", and thinks he's got the whole world figured out now. college sucks agreed
Hyperion1001 05.10.13	college is 4 squares
Keyblade 05.10.13	squares r 4 college
omnipanzer 05.10.13	The best part is when you can't get all your courses and have to take Game Boy 101 to keep your full time status... Awesome.
Uranium 05.10.13	Why should I? I don't make enough to pay for it; not even close. It's either I pull out a loan and go in debt, or I graciously accept the government's willingness to educate its population for free. So, ya, quit being a fucking retard.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	hopefully gonna end up in bristol this october. considered by many to be the best student city in the country
omnipanzer 05.10.13	You're yelling at a functional retard dude...
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	Bristol is awesome fish., what will you be studying?
Trebor. 05.10.13	clit is here, abandon thread
anarchistfish 05.10.13	"Bristol is awesome fish., what will you be studying?" geography
omnipanzer 05.10.13	... seriously you mean topography?
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Cartography
anarchistfish 05.10.13	I mean geography. the one with the graphs and sustainability and gel pens
omnipanzer 05.10.13	How many medications are you on Hillary?
kitsch 05.10.13	youuu dont haaave to goooo toooo cooolleeege
Uranium 05.10.13	what's your degree tounge
omnipanzer 05.10.13	You are living in the furthest thing from reality I've seen in a while. How many medications should you be on?
anarchistfish 05.10.13	hillary is a troll right? has to be
Uranium 05.10.13	answer my question douche. you said you were educated and i call bull shit.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	No AF I really don't think he is.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	has to be
omnipanzer 05.10.13	I'd say he has a personality disorder maybe diagnosed and maybe not.
DominionMM1 05.10.13	"Cartography" the mapping of uncharted territories
omnipanzer 05.10.13	What is mapped changes Dominion, which is why people still make maps and get degrees in Cartography.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	So I'm right Hillary?
Uranium 05.10.13	lmao it matters a lot when you're talking mad shit about your superlative intelligence which i'll gladly debate does not exist.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	yeah I'm not doing cartography
DominionMM1 05.10.13	it was an arrested development reference, omni
Uranium 05.10.13	especially as a political science major. you have a pretty funny idea about how the government works...
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Thanks for letting me in on the joke Dom. ;-)
Uranium 05.10.13	The taxes for education come out directly out of my state's tax as well as federal. So I've paid for educations with my taxes just like other people have for me. It's mandatory and it's how it works. Fuck, go to class or read your textbook or do something worthwhile.
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	Fish, I know some people who did that exact course. They all had a blast and ended up with a wide range of skill sets. All this talk bogus vs legit degrees normally stems from people who have tried a more academic subject and come out the other end with a mediocre degree and feel the need to lash out against the world as their 3rd rate chemistry degree pales in comparison to a 1st class arts degree despite the arts degree being "easier".
omnipanzer 05.10.13	^ told you functional retard
Uranium 05.10.13	No shit, America has been in debt since its origin. Talking politics with you is hilarious and all especially since you are a political science major and suck at it. I have an O chem test to ace and knocking sense into you is futile so peace the fuck out.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Do people talk to you through the T.V. or are there listening devices in your wall Hillary?
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	Are you a chem major Uranium? One of the labs I work in is run by one of the guys who helped to discover bucky balls, it's amazing- I fan out constantly /chemistry nerd.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	I can't argue anything with you but it's mostly because you have the debating skills of an 12 year old child. I should know... I have one.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	"Fish, I know some people who did that exact course. They all had a blast and ended up with a wide range of skill sets." Sweet. Gotta really prep for my exams now cos january geography modules were a complete disaster (for the whole year, not just me). I'm doing the 4 year course with the 3rd year spent abroad as well, hopefully in France
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Clearly everyone has their head up their asses except for you. A child's logic.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	I'm not attempting to distract, can you not follow more than one line of questions at a time?
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	Good luck fish, you're in the business end of things now- it'll be a blur of stress and then the best summer ever. My friend did a year in Norway, I was so jealous.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	best summer ever for real. a month and a half of fucking about with my friends and catching up on stuff I've been meaning to do for a while and doing fuck all, then two weeks in South Africa and then about 3-4 weeks in France including a French wedding. French weddings are the best
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	I love it when university students act like they have it all figured out. It's on a par with those idiots who watch Zeitgeist and think they have unplugged from the matrix or some shit.
anarchistfish 05.10.13	oh and then another 3 weeks at home
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	I'm off to Russia for a week and have loads of other random stuff to do including driving to Czech Republic for Fluff fest and jumping out of a plane. Summers are the best.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	You're right Hillary, I am clearly the distraction in this thread. You have my sincerest of apologies, carry on.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	"You're yelling at a functional retard dude...How many medications are you on Hillary?You are living in the furthest thing from reality I've seen in a while. How many medications should you be on?I'd say he has a personality disorder maybe diagnosed and maybe not^ told you functional retardDo people talk to you through the T.V. or are there listening devices in your wall Hillary?I can't argue anything with you but it's mostly because you have the debating skills of an 12 year old child. I should know... I have one.Clearly everyone has their head up their asses except for you. A child's logic." I meant every word... I feel you think I don't
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	This isn't an attempt to weigh in and chuck insults bit Hillary, is that "going to law school" as in you are already a student or "going to law school" as that is your intended next step? Just curious.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Literally ANYONE can get a degree in ANYTHING given the right circumstances. The real question is whether or not they can be any good. I'm guessing you aren't very good at much.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	U mad?
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Sorry DanielNightLewis you'll need to try again later. Hillary can only follow one argument at a time. I'm so very sorry but I'm monopolizing his brain atm.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Are you and Skele friends Hillary... I bet you two would be thick as thieves.
CocaineBiceps 05.10.13	College is great, for all dat ass
Calc 05.10.13	"Unfortunately, I've come to realize all college does is put fancy pants wording on preconceived notions that you basically inherently know." not only is this true only if your an english major or some shit, the big cool jobs you want need to know you know these fancy-pants words or your gonna have a medicore living. so suck it up.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Now you're making me feel bad. I'm sorry, I won't perpetuate this anymore. I only need to kill another 30min or so.
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	It's cool omni, my experience in research has given me patience that rivals even the most ardent Circle Takes the Square or Glassjaw fans.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	You're an easy mark, you should really work on that.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	^ see functional retard
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	cool, do you have a particular area you are interested in working in or is it a case of seeing what graduation brings first?
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Barack Obama is the best president we've ever had. Do you think we could elect him for a third term?
omnipanzer 05.10.13	I squat, who do think was better Clinton or Bush?
ZilbelPing 05.10.13	I played in an ultimate frisbee tournament yesterday and my team's name was Hilary Clinton. We lost in the third round.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	Anyone who isn't a puppet there baby genius? I remember the news stories... I was around.
omnipanzer 05.10.13	It's okay, you're tired now I get it. We can pick this back up on Monday. Good night everyone but it's beer:30.
DanielNightLewis 05.10.13	Well I hope now we can put it all behind us and get back to bashing the list maker for presuming themselves to be an intellectual giant due to being unstimulated by sub-entry level critical thinking classes.
Maniac! 05.10.13	Everyone in this thread is an idiot.
toxin. 05.10.13	agreed
theshelfmaster 05.10.13	"HillaryClitTounge"
Maniac! 05.10.13	Hillary, you are by far the most egotistical douchebag on this website. This is an amazing feat you've accomplished, as the competition for such a title is rough indeed.
klap 05.11.13	lol @ clit just trolling everyone here
Maniac! 05.11.13	I don't think he's really eliciting any feelings of anger or frustration from anyone. Or, at least, I hope he isn't. This is one big joke, right? Right?
kitsch 05.11.13	omg this thread
SitarHero 05.11.13	Goddamn. Thread brought the lulz hard.
Uranium 05.11.13	sup guys
