School is ridiculously easy 0_o

When I was in highschool, all I would hear about was how hard college is, how teachers won't take crap anymore, how you write 50 page papers every week etc..

Now I'm not a smarty pants or anything, I simply just do what's required -- so here's the breakdown of my spring semester of college:

16 credit hours (5 coursess):

Introductory course to Java programming
Speech communications
Intermediate Japanese
PreCalc (trig)
Asian History (1600s+)

Average of 2 hours a week of homework/studying

= Straight 'B's

Sure there was a few nights where I had to write a paper in a night, or cram for a test -- but that is the honest average.

Will it get harder as I progress to harder ****s and my major? Definately. Is it unbearable? Please...:roll:

Now that I know my limits and requirements, I'll be sure to get straight 'A's next year.

I never understood why I so many people make such a big deal about all the "work" they put into their education. It's essentially doing whatever mundane BS the teacher deems necessary.

go into sciences if you want a guaranteed steady job. trust me it's no picnic there.

Hahaha...you're taking precalc for one, what do you expect? :|

You're only in trig. Just wait till Calc 2/3, differential equations if you're in a math/science field.

When you consider how many people graduate college you shoulden't expect it to be that hard.. go into something math or science based if everything is so easy. :D110million

[QUOTE="GenTom"]Asian history and intermediate Japanese? I do hope you're not some silly little anime fan who thinks being able to understand anime and japanese rpg's without subtitles is cool/worth it? No offence, just.. I laugh at people who are like that (though i'm not saying you are, just.. the courses you're taking...)HoldThePhone

And people, taking a science/math isn't hard. You just need the mind for it.

Asian History goes towards my minor in Japanese. Please don't be so quick to judge, while most people who take japanese are indeed socially inept otaku nerds, i view myself as pretty normal. and omg i dont watch anime! crazy i know! i just happened to be very interested in japanese culture (which is because i took it in highschool).HoldThePhone

Introductory Java Programming? What is that Comp Sci 1?

[QUOTE="HoldThePhone"][QUOTE="cpo335"] buddy ive taken 5 years of japanese courses and 95% of the students around me are wearing inuyasha shirts to class. am i wrong in generalizing this upon everyone? yes. but that's just what i've seen.cpo335

Precalc is easy... Wait for differential functions... That's when the fun startshorgen123

Have fun when you get into the 300/400 level classes.Vandalvideo

No **** it's easy, look at the cla$ses you're taking! I dare you to take some chemistry and physics cla$$es, you'll be singing a different tune when you're working with Quantum Mechanics. And look at the math you're in! I was taking trig when I was 10th grade.

Generally, I'd say the humanities are easier than the sciences. I switched majors from Chemical Engineering to English, and saw a significant stress reduction.

But even English. Take a cla$$ on Milton or the Canterbury Tales and you won't be boasting about how easy college is. And you don't even have a 3.5+ GPA!

tl;dr, you're a pompous freshman, have fun and grow up eventually.

It is, people do that at every level.

At the end of elementary, they tell you Middle school will be no joke(Easiest 3 years of my life)

At the end of middle school, they tell you high school will be no joke, only failed about 2 classes, Spanish 1, Intro to Law, and Algebra 2 which I didn't fail because of bad work, I made a mistake and threw my teacher's book out of the window and me a him kept catching conflict since that day on.

When I graduated Highschool they said... College will be no joke, and lets just say everyone here isn't exactly Einstein.

What school do you go to and what are you majoring in?

I have never seen so many bitter people in one thread.

As for the OP: You said you are going to minor in Japanese. What's your major?

What school do you go to and what are you majoring in?

School is easy.... I do my work really late that's how I know. Also, I still get it done in an hour around 1 AM.

I don't take study time so I get like B's.

So you want to create programs in Japanese? I see where you're going with this :P

You are taking freshman blowoff classes. You should have straight A's not straight B's. If you aren't making A's in your on major freshman classes in a school that isn't really really hard you should either change majors or start studying, because you are in for a surprise later if you keep going like that.

Damn you people who say high school was easy. Had to get my GED years later because of certain physical limitations >_>

From what i've noticed from sixth form you'll quite often have periods with cvery little work to do but you'll get all the work suddenly at once. You'll have a project to do in Java right before you do a japanese oral test and an essay on history. It seems like all the subjects run on the same coursework time table.markop2003

You are taking those courses and can only manage straight B's? I wouldn't be bragging.
