And your referencing that reminds me of the sex position.

And back on topic. Makes sense cheating is rampant at many colleges. Generally it is more subtle than copying off a neighbor.

the only class of mine were cheating and getting away with it is possible is in the classes where the room is gigantic and there are like 300 or more students.

and even then they separate tests.

Well you can copy homework, or have someone else write your paper, or copy formulas in classes that don't allow that. Because your scratch paper is going to look like a formula sheet from a distance, especially if you use it as scratch paper also. I know someone who wrote formulas on the inside of a water battle label, and when he tilted the bottle towards him the water acted like a lens. He got caught cause he spent the entire test staring at his bottle. The idea was good the execution was not.

Fuck I used know a ton of people during finals week who would start using Adderall or Ritalin for the extra focus and to stay awake the whole week.

I disagree with this. In the last few years I've attended both university and college, and in my opinion, 'popularity' is reset.

In university, people come from all sorts of different backgrounds, and even if you were a loner in highschool, chances are there will be a lot of people who share similar interests. Also, because so many people are on their own for the first time, it's easier to relax and act natural.

With college, the people who attend are there because they want to be. People are a lot more mature, and it's easier to meet people outside of your comfort zone.

You got better at talking to strangers. From your perspective it was a change of scenery and a "reset", but it was your mindset and attitude that changed, because there are smart focused people and there are assholes at college too. They give people who are strong and run fast just as many scholarships as people who study hard and get good grades.

I agree with zeph. You can't change how you act with your strangers in a year.

I don't know about that. We live in different places, each of them having a different atmosphere. We're all different as well, but we then become friends without having to relate to anything personal or anything else. For me, it almost feels as If each and every person around me was almost the same, regardless of who they were. Sometimes, no one really talks to each other at all. It almost sounds as If you probably lived somewhere different from Afternoon's.

In my place, talk is limited. Everyone has to focus all the time because of procrastination, which is a big deal. As a result, most students start to act out of their age as If they were adults already and just focus on the big picture. As for Popularity, it isn't a big thing in my place, so we aren't divided (in fact Popularity doesn't even exist.) The fact that almost every teacher in my school is friends with a lot of students supports the fact that Popularity, so we aren't strangers to each other at all.

So yeah, what I'm saying is that you probably lived in a place different from me and Afternoon's. Although I feel Popularity seems a little irrelevant when it comes to college because we all have urgent matters to attend to.

>don't know anyone in new college and decide there and then on the first day to change my ways
>talk to everyone i see
>have lots of friends now

you just can't be scared of people. there are a number of people from my last school that hate my guts because i just wouldn't concede any aspect of myself. some people like me, some people don't. you have to be confident in the likeability of yourself

uhh
i guess. this isn't college like it is for you guys though. your college would be our university.
11/12-15/16 = secondary school
16/17-17/18 = sixth form AKA college
?? - ?? = university
i got kicked out of my sixth form college because i didn't go to a lot of my lessons and got really bad results on my exams because i didn't study
so i feel i was the victim of racial discrimination, clearly

That is about as close to an approximation as any. Sixth form is like last 2 years of high school for the US only you have to try out for it and has a better curriculum.

Here colleges will be able to do an associates degree or a bachelors degree and universities will do masters and doctoral degrees.

Exams done woo

_________________

if your roommate ever wakes you up and he's trying to have a conversation with you because you were talking in your sleep, just agree to forget it ever happened after you both realize that you were asleep

i was dreaming that a little gnome man with a paper cone trumpet was selling me weed and i awoke an hour after i had gone to sleep to the sound of my roommate telling me how much weed i should buy

we both agreed to forget it ever happened

EDIT: also if a teacher ever puts about 70 MC questions on a final and about 40 of them end in "D: ALL OF THE ABOVE" or "E: ALL OF THE ABOVE" about 39 of those 40 of those 70 have the "ALL OF THE ABOVE" answer as the correct one

or

when in doubt, put all of the above

Also, if you're having trouble answering a question, don't forget to look back at the previous questions on the test, a lot of times the answer to the question you're stuck on is in a previous number's question.

_________________

you had a clear mindset. You were determined to make friends, and to be honest with you. you never seemed like that shy of a guy when I talked to you. Being nerdy is completely different from being completely socially inept. You can pretend you're somebody else, but if you are bad at holding conversations, bad at looking people in the eyes, and tbh are no George Clooney [alongside all of this] you won't be able to change as easily as you did. I could make great friends in parties where people are fucked up, I choose not to.

do not eat at any public dining halls when you are high until you've gotten the hang of eating neatly while high

preparing for being high by going out to wal-mart and buying $15 bucks worth of candy and soda there, or going to wal-mart and getting whatever your high fancy is (I got a crazy sweetooth haha) in bulk is an excellent idea. especially when you smoke 4 bowls of cali weed by yourself.

uh being spontaneous is awesome, be down for anything and do anything your friends collectively decide to do

anything can happen when you're spontaneous; any conversation may occur; any event may take place that otherwise you would not have seen. do not sit in your room while high; it's better to take it outsideeeeeeeeeee

don't sit in your room much at all in college unless you're studying if you want to have a social life and also get ahead.

College truths eh? Here we just have it integrated to secondary school so it isn't that big of a deal.

-Don't take people too seriously.
-People are still as insecure as you. They just act like they know what they're doing. Act.
-If you wanna make friends, do it now. At university you won't have the chance because of the shitpile of work you'll have.
-Get a job. If you don't like it, find another before quitting. Even a dead end job gives you experience.
-Don't complain. All the problems you may have there are nothing compared to the ones that you will have outside.
-Failing a test is kind of a big deal. Study.
-Try to have fun too.

Where do you go to school, Asis?

Argentina. Not a bad place, but a bit schizophrenic. The public universities' level is among the best of Latin America and the Public School's is among the worst.

If it matters, I got an Electronics Technology Associate Degree five years ago and I'm halfway towards Systems engineering right now.

The United States has a similar problem. Our public schools are mediocre and our Universities are top notch.

I failed my midterm exam but managed to get a B in the course. Awesome.

Wait, do you mean the average is low, or do you mean he's bullshitting grades?
