College is Hard

It really is difficult.




Just kidding, it's pretty damn easy. I will much like only have 3-4 classes a day as opposed to the 8 I had all through high school. Just got a job and start on Sunday. Should be able to work 25 hours a week and still have tons of free time after factoring sleep and homework time.

I would tend to agree though I'm only going to be doing 3-4 classes per semester(I'm only doing 2 right now because it's my first semester and I wasn't sure how much I could handle. 2 classes is mind numbingly easy. I don't even feel like I'm in school.)

Your first semester is pretty damn easy. It's an uphill battle after that, though.

I'm looking forward to it myself. I've been craving a challenge in school for a while now. That's part of the reason I didn't give a shit about high school.

I want to have to bust my ass to get a good grade, but I want to learn in the process, not just work for the sake of working.

I'm with yah K_A. So far i've only attended two Semesters, both full time and even then they we're both easy. I have a feeling though as soon as I get more towards my bachelor's degree-type classes it's going to get a tad bit harder.

I regret not taking Finite Mathematics and a Chemistry class this first semester, but I'm just taking Liberal Arts Core classes for my first semester/year. I'm at 16 credits, and I may make it 18 if I find a couple 1 credit courses. Next semester I am going to take 18 credits. Honestly, I was prepared for the hardest classes when I came here, and it's not even that difficult at all. Maybe my economics and accounting classes next year will be tough, but that's all I can see for now. I guess my high school prepared me well.

Both of my current classes are liberal arts, and most of my classes will be liberal arts throughout college since I'm majoring in Philosophy.

College is an uphill battle. They factor in that its your (at least most peoples) first time away from home and want you to adjust properly. I know my freshman year, i got a 3.7 gpa and partied my ass off. After my soph and jr year, im now at a 3.5 gpa, which is good but niothing like freshamn uyear.

I can pull a 4.0 and be in a drunken/high haze. It makes me focus a lot more and prioritize more. Don't worry, I should be able to graduate Magne Cum Laude.

Core Classes for Liberal Arts don't tend to be difficult.

Congrats to you my friend. I'm sure if you keep smokin on the daily, your grades will reflect it.
LoL.

I pulled a 3.7 and I smoked three out of the four years I was in high school, with very heavy use the last two. I got drunk 3-4 times a week during that time too, held a job, had a girlfriend, and managed to get a 3.9 for my senior year. So yeah, I guess pot makes people smart. K thanks bye. Damn Skeptic. Oh yeah, and my classes were more difficult because it was a private school and the grading scale was harder (70%= F). On top of that, I missed out on scholarships because I wasn't even in the top 10 of my class of 59. I was like 22nd, if I remember right. I posted it on here. Don't even judge, foo.

Pot does not make people smart. I can confirm this. I seriously felt a hit to my cognative abilities after smoking pot for a while.

Well, I was going with the reverse to his theory of pot making people stupider/irresponsible. I do have some times where my short term memory doesn't spark up, but most of that stuff is insignificant. I choose to memorize school homework, key words, and people. That way I can best do school and interact with people while using the key words as a grab bag of subjects to go off on.

There is a lifted veil when cessation commences

Absolutely. There can also be some latent hostility toward life that surfaces, but that fades away after a bit. I'm sure I'd have learned more from my undergrad years if I hadn't been stoned as much.

Oh, and HoH...don't underestimate the level of quality your professors are looking for. It is certainly NOT like high school. I wouldn't recommend comparing them (unless you're at a community college).

I had to do papers most of my senior year, along with well-done projects for stingyass teachers. Do remember that my high school was more challenging than most. I'm more than prepared to do the 'extra' work to touch it up, if there is any. Hell, just having 5 classes and a lab that don't meet everyday is heaven.

True dat. I feel like pot has definitely dumbed me down. I was a fuckin genius back in high school, now... not so much. I'm sure once I go back to college (next semester, woohoo) it'll all come back to me, though.

I haven't smoked pot in a long while now and I still feel like it took something away. I have a slightly harder time putting my thoughts down in an intelligible way now than I did back then. I guess the main thing is I don't feel like I communicate as eloquently now and my memory is somewhat lacking.

Really? That hasn't happened for me.
