  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Community college is awesome because you'll get to take an African literature studies course with 17 year olds straight out of high school, and retired 50 year old construction workers who decided to come back to school. All in the same room.

My first year of university I went for a japanese course, and we were mostly 18 year olds, some 20-somethings..., and a freshly retired lady. Eventually I decided it wasn't my thing, but I remember these few weeks rather fondly

My roommate in college thought that older students should be banned because they don't have anything more important to do than study, so they get excellent grades and throw off the grading curve for the "real" students. It was fucking up his partying schedule, having to study to keep up with the older, better students.

I told him to go fuck himself, and went to the job I worked through my entire college term.

Ugh god, kids who complain about the curve were the worst.

He was a rich kid that always thought he deserved to have first dibs on everything. People like him depend on the curve.
