-- Posted by Anonymous at 2:20 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Today, I took my first quiz, in Calculus. I studied for it all day yesterday, did all the review problems and got them all right. I understood everything. I got to the quiz, did the first problem...easy. After that...I was royally fucked. I screwed up, made such CARELESS little mistakes, and totally fucked it up. I could have had a perfect score, but I walked out of that classroom knowing I probably, at best, got a C. I fucking hate my dad right now though. I live at home, and I told him about this, and he went INSANE on me. I started yelling a lot back at him, and almost ended up cursing him out. Grrr. Fuck college. I'm all alone at this school, I know ONE person and only talk to her for about a minute each day between classes, and the people in class are assholes. I hate this. -- Posted by XD fuck yeah XP at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Who the fuck goes to college and still lives with their parents dude...? -- Posted by White Ninja at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Sounds like a bunch of whiny bullshit to me. -- Posted by Plviewchick07 at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 i love my college, maybe you should switch schools -- Posted by FurryPanther at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 I'm with you on that one. University sucks giant monkey balls. FP -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Wow, you're all so supportive. THANKS! Except you FP...what the hell!? -- Posted by FramingAPear at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 You get what you give. Instead of studying ALL DAY before an exam try studying for an hour or two daily. ACTUALLY STUDYING. You know. You can meet people you like, if you want to. Or you can just make up excuses for yourself. -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:22 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 What the fuck got up everyone's ass today?

Life is hard, no use crying about it, just fucking do something. -- Posted by Dissilusioned at 2:31 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Was the test anything significant? If not, just shrug it off and let it ride. The whole world is an unfair bitch. -- Posted by gprime at 3:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Quote: from Plviewchick07 at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 i love my college, maybe you should switch schools Switching schools ought be a last resort, and should only be done with good reason. This hardly qualifies as such. It seems to me that the OP should: * Move, as soon a possible, in to the dorms. Being a commuter leaves your parents too involved, at least in this case, and isn't ideal for social outreach. * Form a study group with classmates and make use of it. * Go to office hours, the help center, peer tutors, or other support systems to gain further understanding of material that he finds confusing. * Join a club, rush a frat, or do other social activities that will let him meet people and make friends more readily. -- Posted by kenseth17 at 8:52 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Quote: from hawkeye at 5:20 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Today, I took my first quiz, in Calculus.

I actually went through 5 years of this, living at home going to a local college, having like no friend, all the people in the classes were complete assholes, and everytime i told my dad how much i hated the school he said i was making all this stuff up and i was ungreatful.  Believe me ive been where you are its not pretty and unless someone lived at home during college they really wouldnt know what a pain this is.  My mom and dad kept sayign to me youll make friends, i just graudted this summer i cant say i made one friend in that school at all. -- Posted by kenseth17 at 8:56 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Quote: from gprime at 6:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 Quote: from Plviewchick07 at 2:21 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 i love my college, maybe you should switch schools Switching schools ought be a last resort, and should only be done with good reason.

Look i cant speak for this guy cause i dont know what his school is like, but from my expirence my school didnt have any dorms to move into so it was commute or nothing, if you tried to make friends with anyone they just ignored you, everytime i went to the office hours help center etc they told me if  i was asking stupid questions like that i shouldnt be in college and refused to help me, and there was like 5 clubs at most. Not all people seem to realize here all colleges dont have a zillion things in them -- Posted by collegecolosseum at 10:22 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 honestly, its only a quiz.  In the overall grade of the class this one quiz will be a small fraction.   You know now how that professor tests, and should perpare accordingly. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 4:10 am on Sep. 14, 2007 Not many people who just started college passes thier first test with flying colors. College grading is not like high school where more it's very easy to get an A or B. C literally means average student in college, don't take the grading so hard. -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 4:11 am on Sep. 14, 2007 A C in college isn't that bad. I'm sure it will get better as you settle into the work. -- Posted by CellarDoor at 5:23 pm on Sep. 19, 2007 Quote: from kenseth17 at 8:52 pm on Sep. 13, 2007 I actually went through 5 years of this, living at home going to a local college, having like no friend, all the people in the classes were complete assholes, and everytime i told my dad how much i hated the school he said i was making all this stuff up and i was ungreatful.  Believe me ive been where you are its not pretty and unless someone lived at home during college they really wouldnt know what a pain this is.  My mom and dad kept sayign to me youll make friends, i just graudted this summer i cant say i made one friend in that school at all. You know what, the same thing happened to me.  I went to a university where there was this backwards, racist kind of vibe that I was getting.  My family thought I was imagining it, and when I said I was having problems making friends, they were questioning my ability to make friends and thought that its because I was too shy or something. Then at my graduation they wouldn't stop whining and bitching about how they were treated like second-class citizens and how that girl behind the bar served 4 people before she got to serve my sister, even though they got there later.  Etc etc. I just feel like I wasted my university life barely tolerating being in a university that I didn't like, when I could have been having the time of my life. -- Posted by baller23 at 12:46 pm on Feb. 11, 2009 one quiz doesn't mean anything.  Just don't make it a habit of not being too prepared.  buy books and get notes from other students.  A great place for that is Shamzoo http://www.shamzoo.com
