How great is college

I just thaught everyone would get a giggle about this.

Today I was asked to write a paper in my Human Sexuality class so instead of doing something serious I decided my paper would be about Porn Star Jenna Jameson. Woot go me.

In my english class my teacher gave us an assignment that had us write a paper on the process of something. For examples he used how to grow an avacodo and how to cook a hamburger. So i wrote my paper on how to cook macaroni and cheese. He didnt take so well to it and gave me a D-. Ya... we got in a fight and my next paper i got a B so go me

Maybe if you hadn't copied the back of the box, ya know, added some surprise content.

Teacher in a psych class I took in high school wanted us to list the 4 first things we would do if we were on a plane that crashed in shallow water near an island.

Mine were along these lines:
1) Find a way out
2) See who I could help
3) See who is missing by asking who sat next to who.
4) See what could be salvaged

He said the obvious answers were:
1) Start a fire
2) Make primitive weapons to hunt
3) Make shelter
4) Pro create to ensure survival of the race.

I don't know what the hell he was thinking but the first 4 things I did hardly got me onto the island. Procreate? What a freak... he didn't say it was Gilligan's Island and that we were there for life (I am aware they eventually got off the island). I told him he was a moron, walked out, and dropped the class. Didnt need it anyway.

As far as writing. I told my teacher that I don't do homework, its not my thing... but if she let me write reports on dungeons and dragons books I would do 2 reports for every 1 she assigned and if I ever got less than a B I would read her dumb books. She agreed and as much as she would have liked to... she never gave me less than a B.

Don't tell her (name withheld for my protection) but I ended up reading her books and selling reports to students anyway. Money back if they ever got less than a B =)

School is there for my manipulation. Took 4 years of wood shop just to help my overall average (damn spanish). I didn't take it to be lazy, in fact, I took it instead of lunch. Kids in HS weren't cool enough to hang with me so I scheduled a class for all 8 periods including lunch and studyhall.

In Biology we had to write a paper on one animal we would save from extinction and why. I picked the beaver and got suspended for 3 days.

Classic, Krim =)

The best paper I ever did in college had to be the one for my Psych 1A class. Final paper.

I psychoanalyzed my own death. Well, the near death experience I had after drowning some years ago.

Got an A.

Nice.

I had a teacher who thought that videogames should be baned and that they were a great form of evil. One of those that believed that its the games fault for fucked up kids.

So I wrote a 5 page paper, not including 2 pages of resources, telling her in a nut shell, she was an idiot for thinking that way.

Got a load of nasty remarks, still got an A due to that I met the requirements of the assignment. We didnt get along very well after that either. She'd make little comments about how evil people were if they played videogames and I'd make my comments about how ignorant ppl were if they couldnt raise their kids to not be influenced by games that greatly or if they believed that videogames were at fault.

Now that was a fun class. She could actually make some witty remarks back at me, least until I did it enough that others in the class started helping. /evil cackle

last month we had to write a paper on something we do REALLY well. I somehow managed to make watching tv into 5 pages and I got an A-....hurray!

I don't know if high school really counts, but school related.. same difference..

I got through my high school essays/thesis'/etc with the thesis statement "<author/main> character is a homosexual" and I'd spend the whole time pointing out homosexual characteristics. My thesis on why Hamlet was a homosexual got an "A" because I touched on a lot of good points my english teacher of 18 years never even thought about. I suggest you do the same. EASY EASY A.

I wrote a Comp 1 paper pursuading the reader to vote for "mutt dogs" as the official icon of America. Americans = loyal, friendly, dumb, territorial, floppy... Got 98.

Any one else have "Signs of Life" as their English Comp 1 book? It was a load of bull shit cleverly camoflaged behind big words and rarely-used adjectives depicting it as insight.

Another topic likely to get you a good grade is REVERSING current liberal trends (depending on your teacher). Writing papers about Men's Rights, reverse discrimination, etc... older, conservative teachers eat that up if its halfway decently presented.
