It’s official… I hate everybody at school. Well, not everybody. I’m not that miserable. Just certain people.
For example, I will never understand why one thinks it’s funny/cool/totally awesome to brag about not buying the course textbook when it’s already three weeks into the semester. Never fail, in ten years of college, there is always at least one jamoke in my class who brags about either a) not having bought the book deep into the semester or b) having bought the book but not even taken the plastic wrap off it yet - thus declaring to all that he (’cuz it’s always a he) does not study.
I’ve been out of high school too long to remember if this actually attracted girls then but I can’t see how it is even remotely funny in college. In fact, I’ll even say it is sad. It’s sad that someone would waste his time going to a class he clearly (pretends?) doesn’t give a rat’s ass about. It’s sad that this sack of shit is taking up a spot in class when someone who genuinely wanted OR NEEDED to be there couldn’t get in. It’s sad that mommy and daddy, OR WORSE, the taxpayer (if he gets financial aid) is paying for tuition when said jamoke thinks it’s all one big fucking joke. And if tuition is coming out of his own pocket, then that’s really fucking sad.
Sometimes, it’s no surprise to me that our country is turning into a shithole. The amount of shitheads here is staggering.

I'm Angela - I'm staring down the barrel of my 30s (gah) working as a production editor
(office bitch) for a small newspaper. I'm consumed by my endless devotion to
the New England Patriots and have recenty taken up knitting to keep busy until September. Oh yeah, and I have a really whacky boyfriend to keep me amused.
Hey now, there have been times when I was that “jamoke”
Seriously though, there are some classes where you don’t even need the book (depending upon the instructor and their teaching style and the assignments) I have gotten A’s and B’s in classes that I never opened the book in…other times I have used the book and still struggled to get a B or C….
It was for reasons like this that me and the college scene never really jived.

Perfect.
And to think.. I felt bad that I didn’t do well in college and didn’t study much and dropped out because of tuition and all that.. Man was I wrong!

A+++
Sadly that seems to only be an American thing.
Only here do smart students try to hide it, and avoid that kind of attention… while most want attention for being the rebel/badass type.
We’ve got an entertainment driven culture. And doing things the “right” way makes for dull entertainment. So every episode has a rebel, and that’s what younger generations idolize. So… for the next 50 years, we’ve got a population that’s perpetually auditioning for a reality TV gig, and old-school success is ridiculed.
It’s no wonder other countries have such low opinions of the average American.
