| Pulled Two All-Nighters
Holy fucking shit. | | 1 |  | AlunaGeorge Body Music
And I'm on fucking vacation goddamn it | | 2 |  | Overkill The Electric Age
Ok, so backstory: I'm on second year on college, studying engineering, and I got into this course about mechanics of materials. It's the first time we were taught any of the contents of this course, so everything is new and we have to learn everything from scratch. It's not a complicated course; stress, strain, young's modulus, shear modulus, fatigue, beams profiles, second moment of area, etc etc. We should have aced this course by going to classes regularly, studying little, and just doing some problems before any test so we'd be prepared... Enter our Mechanics teacher. | | 3 |  | Hail Spirit Noir Pneuma
First class into the course, in comes this gentleman, about 8,000 years old with dentures, and oh boy, was it a disaster. The man's got a PhD in physics from somewhere in London, and has been teaching for more than a few decades. And so, he comes in, powerpoint presentation on, and... | | 4 |  | Kuroki Nagisa Kuroki Nagisa
Holy shit, the gentleman's senile. He starts mumbling some bullshit about newton's second law, then a few seconds later he's talking about some completely unrelated subject, then suddenly he's talking about geometry. During the entire class of 90 mins, he explained absolutely nothing, and so was the panorama during the whole semester. Since he didn't explain jack shit ever, we didn't even fucking know what we were supposed to know, and what the contents for each test were supposed to be (his pdfs about the contents didn't help one iota). | | 5 |  | Mare Mare
I understand the guy's situation: he's old, he's not on his 100%, so whatever. But thanks to his fuckupery, we fucking crashed the course. Every student was getting like 20/100, and we needed a 55 to pass this course. Thanks to this guy, some of the students were even losing their scholarships that they earned through hardship and effort, scholarships they fucking needed to pay their scholar debts. | | 6 |  | Schroeder-Headz Synesthesia
I was the exception, though: thanks to the fact that I'm a fucking nerd, I love physics, and I had more free time than the average student (I took one course less than the rest), I had the possibility to read the books that are recommended for the course -- both of Beer's books on mechanics of materials. All. Fucking. 1,400. Pages. I aced this course, I got a fucking 98 on a test where the average was a 37 (and some students were taking this course for the second time). | | 7 |  | Odious Mirror of Vibrations
Cue the end of the semester, and everyone needs a fucking miracle to pass. The gentleman is 100% unforgiving, and since the books are so disorganized in their approach, nobody didn't know even where to start studying. Nobody knew fucking anything, so I decided to write a document with all of the contents of the course on word (pretty images and all), and I solved some typical mechanics problems step by step so they can see the contents in action (something we should have seen IN CLASS). | | 8 |  | Stiu Nu Stiu Ultra Silvam
And now on the last two days before the test, I am BOMBARDED with questions left and right. I am on fucking winter vacation (since I'm exempt from all finals this semester), and I cannot enjoy them because THIS PIECE OF SHIT TEACHER didn't do HIS FUCKING JOB. Nothing against the dude, but fuck it, it's his fucking fault that lord-knows-how-fucking-many students were about to lose their scholarships, I couldn't let that happen. They're my fucking friends, they're the people that I coexist with every day of the week, about to lose their scholarships for some 8,000 years old bullshit demon from hell. | | 9 |  | Jambinai Différance
So here I am, after two days without sleeping, powered through the sheer force of anger alone (aided with some coffee), teaching every fucking student every single content of the course purely out of spite. I want to vomit (in fact I already did), my head is pounding, everything is spinning around me, and I want to die. This shit is historic; we're all fucking determined to beat the shit out of the final test so we can proudly claim, we defeated the devil teacher who came to curse us with sheer bullshit. I'm gonna' beat the shit out of anyone who dares to fucking fail this course tomorrow. | | 10 |  | The Gathering Black Light District
UPDATE: Only three guys failed the course, and two of them didn't even go take the final test. The other one needed too high a score and couldn't reach it :-( | | 11 |  | Flower Face Funeral Kid
Everyone got high scores on the finals, and originally 5 guys failed the course but two of them were on the verge of approving (54.3, when you need a 55 to pass), so we sent an email with several students asking for an especial exception, and the teacher accepted the proposal: he gave them two problems each, that they needed to solve before midnight. And so we did, we solved them all together and they both passed the course. | | 12 |  | Universe217 Never
The problems were hellish, and one of them even had some data wrong so we were kinda worried we might not be able to do them before midnight but nah son we ain't about that. It took me several notebook pages and a few Paint.NET diagrams but we did them, and so we finally passed mechanics of materials and have since moved on with our lives :^) | | 13 |  | Isaac Shepard Deep Joy
P.D.: I didn't whoop anyone's asses. Just told them good luck next time, and if they fail again, NOW I'm gonna' whoop their ass ;^) | |

09.10.15 | list is recs. i swear to god im so fucking pissed and i want to die | Frippertronics
09.10.15 | pre sure jaden smith would be a better physics teacher from the looks of it | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | i want to die | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | kill me. end my entire life | porcupinetheater
09.10.15 | Never take anyone with a score below 3.4 on Ratemyprofessors. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | living: i love engineering, and as the first person on my family to go to college im not going to leave the oportunity behind fuck you lol
porcupine: im from chile, ratemyprofessors is not a thing in my country. but the thing is, we knew this teacher was bullshit; for some reason we got our teachers interchanged but didnt do anything at first because "well how bad can he be" | SpiritCrusher2
09.10.15 | WOW! So much respect for you man, I hope they all pass haha. I'm an engineering student too (3rd year, electroenergetics) so I know the pain. Although I'll admit I'm a much worse student than you haha, I almost never go to classes, unless I have to, and postpone shit as much as I can. I'm about to lose the year these days because of that, but I don't even care that much. Almost looking forward to more free time lol. Anyways, good luck to you all! | MrNippleLipz
09.10.15 | I had a professor with a 4.3 average from ratemyprofessor and he was the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. | CalculatingInfinity
09.10.15 | Jesus christ that is one of the worst stories I've heard from Uni, nothing is worse then a teacher who is shit at his job. My year 3's had a simular situation where this one teacher was so bad they filed a 2 page complaint plus a bunch of everyone's signatures that he should not be teaching only to be replied with by the teachering calling them ungreatful and irresponsible. Fuck off.
Also bump 4 because it's GOAT ;) | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | Im pretty fucking lazy too, but since im on vacation and i love my comrades, im not gonna let that devil bitch take them down fuck that noise
living: what testosterone we're fucking pussies lmao (also, we have a lot of maths and economics too, it's called "civil industrial engineering" or something (?) | yuneek
09.10.15 | Why help anyone and everyone? You should have just picked the hottest girl in the class and used your knowledge to get laid out of it. | CalculatingInfinity
09.10.15 | Massive respect to give a giant fuck you to your lecturer btw. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | we also wrote a letter, but never sent it to the administration for political reasons (it's complicated). but at the very end of the course, in the last class the teacher complained about our low scores calling us quote-unquote stupid. i think thats part of my motivation to take his ass down too | zakalwe
09.10.15 | Fucking typical demanding brats who can't learn for themselves. Tutors don't teach they prattle on about nonsense it's what they do. The self motivation to learn through independent study is what uni is all about. It's sink or swim and what sorts the wheat from the chaff. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | in chile engineering is also like 90% male-dominated too. the thing is tho, it's never been part of our culture and history to treat women like they're dimwits and suck at maths. since we have huge cultural identity crisis, we don't have any cultural history, and so nobody is going to take any cultural bias to heart.
we grow up with girls, we learn all 12 years of education with girls, and to all sexists out there, guess what: they're fucking people, just like you and me. its a recurrent joke in our country to refer to girls as "boys", since they act like the stereotypical male at any age, because also guess what: they're poeple, just like you and me, again. they laugh at the same stuff, they have the same pasttimes -- sports, videogames, memes -- and if you take any group of friends over here, you'll notice that women are treated just like any man would: just jokes and talking about pastimes and our personal lives, and our bullshit teachers like this devil demon of shit teaching we call our mechanics teacher | Cygnatti
09.10.15 | Damn dude you're like "the fuckin man" rn. I couldn't do that but this gives me motivation like all hell. | Keyblade
09.10.15 | lol in what world are engineers meatheaded tough guys? | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | i just cannot bring myself to look at women on a different light, since they've been my friends since day one: just running around, playing soccer or playing catch me, or painting some bullshit doodles and laughing about them | Cygnatti
09.10.15 | Zak bro when were shelving out 10s of thousands and putting ourselves in doubt for the next 2-4 decades, I think it's fair to expect a quality education. | Cygnatti
09.10.15 | considering how almost all career fields have gone considerably more expansive, specific, and difficult than they where in our parents' generation, the fact that it's all 5x more expensive or higher than back then is downright outrageous (in the US, anyways) | Keyblade
09.10.15 | what's the point of going to school, why don't we all just study at home
zak we get it ur old and that things were different pre-WWII, u don't have to remind us in every thread | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | when we don't even know WHAT TO STUDY, since the gentleman is on the border of ALZHEIMER, how do you expect us to study (save for me cuz i was already somewhat familiar and i had the time to read the books)
i swear to god my classmates are not the kind to shy away from studying; they're the kind of guys who study every single day, because they love it, and not becuase they have to.
what happened is that this semester, everyone too a course on advanced electrodynamics, and fuck did they get anally raped by the tests: 14/100 on average, from 500 students | Cygnatti
09.10.15 | If self study is the ultimate point of universities then why aren't they all borderline free considering we're gonna be doing all the hard work ourselves? | zakalwe
09.10.15 | Now you're seeing the picture cyg bro | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | cuz they hire the people who know to organize the contents and what the students are supposed to know, and where to study from. besides, we have free gym memberships!!!! B]
(although our teachers are so fucking ace generally, i swear we don't usuallt need to study from books and only do it for the love of knowledge) | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | guys: all the albums on this list fucking rule. y'all should check them out btw ;3 | MrNippleLipz
09.10.15 | Ya 8 slays
Just read your little story, it was kind of inspirational, good luck to you and your classmates. | PappyMason
09.10.15 | I feel for you man. I did two all-nighters back at uni and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Sleep deprivation is the worst. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | yea good luck on them cuz if they fail im gonna whoop their fucking asses
@pappy: i always forget how it feels so im like "fuck yeah im not gonna sleep tonight", then it hits me and end. my. fucking. life. | SpiritCrusher2
09.10.15 | "only do it for the love of knowledge"
lol I wish I cared for knowledge even a little. I don't even like what I'm studying, but at the same time nothing else really interests me (except music I guess). if it did, I'd switch colleges this second. I guess I'm lucky I have a knack for this shit, so I'll finish it sooner or later, but yea it seems so meaningless when my only "motivation" is to get a decent job after it and have money to be able to survive in this shithole. suddenly I want to listen to Dystopia lol. | MrNippleLipz
09.10.15 | Give them a bloody nose | Wolfhorde
09.10.15 | "If self study is the ultimate point of universities then why aren't they all borderline free considering we're gonna be doing all the hard work ourselves?"
Because how are overpaid dipshits gonna pay for all their Yachts? And how are unis gonna brag about some new fancy bullshit they just bought to attract new students? | yuneek
09.10.15 | agreed school is a scam and soul crushing but so is everything else that's why people tell you to do it because we're fucked anyway. I can't wait for death. | ScuroFantasma
09.10.15 | Good on you man. You're dedication makes me feel slack though. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | spiritcrusher (what a fitting username): ive heard you learn to love the job anyway so.
perhaps you might want to see a psychiatrist/psychologist to discuss your apathy, its not necessarily a bad thing the apathy thing but since ive been on antidepressives, ive been able to force some joy in things like learning, knowledge and curiosity (all for for moral reasons) and i ended up legit liking it rn ! | Wolfhorde
09.10.15 | Because medicating/shrinking the shit out of everything works out so great. | CalculatingInfinity
09.10.15 | "yea good luck on them cuz if they fail im gonna whoop their fucking asses"
I want them to pass for you but this is an amazing mental image xD | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | if u havnt been depressed and on antidepressants and are not talking out of experience dont talk shit about them pls thanks, even then ur personal experience is like, yours only and not eveyone elses thanks | RadicalEd
09.10.15 | You're a better human than I am. Wouldn't have the mental strenght to do that. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | im on antidepressants and i swear to god, for the first weeks or so i didn't even notice anything different AT ALL, it was just me being me. after a while tho, i started pondering my recent weeks and i just noticed ive been talking more to my family, ive been a little more approachable, and i just noticed i havent considered suicide for weeks, it was just me but not fucked up !
same tastes, same opinions, same everything but life was more approachable, its not "medicating the shit out of everything"
(then again, maybe things are different in my country than in other places, idk) | Wolfhorde
09.10.15 | I'm just saying that the degree to which "professional help"/medication (which isn't always super professional) is going to be helpful varies a lot. Not to mention the "stress" associated with going through various therapists/potential hospitalization and in certain countries also the financial cost involved. | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | wolfe: well those are all very valid concerns ! i don't support your original statements at all but those subjects are all worthy of discussion and consideration
living: im so glad that they have worked for you before, i truly wish you the best on everything and i hope those experiences help you in the future if you're in need of help or at a low point >:] | Asdfp277
09.10.15 | i fucking will, if i have to sacrifice my soul to god so he can grant me the power, i fucking will defeat him | Sinternet
09.10.15 | Damn, that sucks. Props to you for putting so much effort in for the others, both you and them deserved better.
Somewhat unrelated but a Food Tech teacher from my secondary school managed to fuck up by teaching the students the content for the wrong exam board. He was fired but I don't remember what happened to the students. | Sinternet
09.10.15 | Also you really do need to sleep, you can't carry on this way. Maybe try and get the other students to ask between themselves or do some of their own research so you can sleep, because pulling two all-nighters is not healthy. | danielcardoso
09.10.15 | You're a hero for doing that, but don't push yourself too hard. Hell, it seems you've already pushed way too fucking hard.
To be honest, in all seriousness, I wish there were more people that have your sense of friendship in the school I'm in. I'm about to start 12th grade and over the past 2 years I sometimes felt as if some students just want to fuck everyone else up. | SharkTooth
09.10.15 | I'm just I'm my freshman year of college and shit like this really worries me
I really hope your friends make it out of this | MyNameIsPencil
09.10.15 | If you start hallucinating
Write it down
Use the visions to start a novel
Sell that novel and receive a lot of money. And when it's adapted into a film you'll get more money.
So this is the best thing that could have ever happened to you in your entire life. | Sinternet
09.10.15 | That's all well and good until you get hit by a train because you thought it was a cat or something. | Flugmorph
09.10.15 | cool Story bro. So did it work out? | Flugmorph
09.10.15 | Oh it's still the same day. Whatevs | Gameofmetal
09.10.15 | "THIS PIECE OF SHIT TEACHER"
"Nothing against the dude"
lol | bloc
09.10.15 | I did my undergrad in engineering too and yeah I feel you. Engineering profs are probably some of the worst out there. They have the knowledge, but can't teach for shit. | OwMySnauze
09.10.15 | Lay off the meth | BeyondCosby
09.10.15 | I had a similar experience my junior year of college. As an education major we had to take a philosophy course and so I took one on basic arguments. Turns out the professor was a goddamn goop whose answer to any argument brought to him by his students (and about half the class was students arguing with him and his infallible logic) was for them to read the book. Well as it turns out the only course material was from a book that he wrote which was bound at a Staples this those cheesy as plastic rings and complete with stick figure drawings. It was the biggest pile of horse shit I ever wasted money on in college but it sure was entertaining to watch him contradict himself and then begin to sweat. | beefshoes
09.10.15 | I'm three years into college, and I've never came close to having to pull an all-nighter to keep up with work. I don't have a job or friends though, so maybe that explains it. | JWT155
09.10.15 | Procrastination leads to many all nighters. | Asdfp277
09.14.15 | UPDATE: All but three guys passed the course :^)
Happy with the outcome | Asdfp277
09.14.15 | and more recs for your life >:] | Sinternet
09.14.15 | Congrats. Now sleep for the next month | Asdfp277
09.14.15 | lol i just did sleep like 15 hrs for three days in a row lol
check my recs >:] | yuneek
09.15.15 | You pretty much screwed over those three guys. If half the class failed I guarantee the department would have reviewed the class and the teacher and raised the grade of everyone so they pass and the teacher would be fired. If enough people complained... | Asdfp277
09.15.15 | He's been teaching for years, and it's always been like this with his classes apparently :////
He's 8,000 years old, for compensation alone he could buy and sell the entire campus lmao | Asdfp277
09.15.15 | we had a letter planned too but couldn't send it for political reasons lol | yuneek
09.15.15 | yeah that's true, the teacher that happened to in my school was actually new. | Asdfp277
09.15.15 | the struggle | CalculatingInfinity
09.15.15 | God damn nice job, alot of people best be sending you thank you gifts or something. | Asdfp277
09.27.15 | I hope I get help with math cuz integrals in general are not my thing lmao, I'm on one of the hardest courses of my career right now so I'm kinda worried about it lol, and it's about multiple integrals and differential geometry so I'm fucked lol | bach
09.27.15 | if im not at work or school im sleeping so props to you | Sinternet
09.27.15 | 'differential geometry'
*shudders* | PunchedPeach72
11.09.15 | you poor bastard | alienobserver
11.09.15 | just seeing this but dude u are a fucking superhero | Asdfp277
11.09.15 | physically it was very exhausting and shitty, but I had a blast doing all that shit and chilling/studying w/ people tbh, so idk but thanks lol | Tyler.
11.09.15 | I've had a teacher that like yours wouldn't fucking teach or explain anything
And then go a brag about how so many people fail his class and drop it. I feel some people shouldn't be allowed to teach at all | Asdfp277
11.10.15 | same thing happened yeah
Once on a test this teacher went up to a student who fared very poorly on the first one, and asked him "so, how are you doing, [student's name]? This is your chance for redemption, you know?", while the student was crying, how did I forget that. It was awful. | PlatonicMushroom
11.10.15 | You are a nerd of fair and noble spirit. Kudos. | StallionMang
11.10.15 | damn dude ur basically a legend now to all those kids. mad fuckin respect | Asdfp277
11.10.15 | This kinda thing isn't that uncommon here actually, my uni has a very family-type ambient to it lol | Asdfp277
11.10.15 | ~a noble nerd~ |
|
