August 22, 200322 yr - If you are committed to going, though, AVOID having a job if at ALL possible. To be successful in college, it requires mega-effort, and there is not really any time for a job (unless you plan on having zero social life). I highly disagree here...I took 17 credit hours last semester, plus worked 25-30 hrs. a week, and STILL found time for a social life. You do what you want with your time...It is those who "f*** around" that will be in big trouble. But, if you REALLY want a social life, you'll find time.
August 22, 200322 yr to boxers to boxer briefs... Panties You wear panties... No, do you? This question has been answered before. You should pay attention... Maybe if we forgot we can ask a few people that were walking around the concourse last night Well.. since you were hanging around like a sick puppy dog.. I'm sure you know the answer. Oh please, someone wouldn't let me leave Oh yeah... all 112lbs of me was holding you back.
August 22, 200322 yr I'm between my Junior and Senior year at Columbia. I start back up on September 20th or something.
August 22, 200322 yr you should go to most classes, but don't get all nervous if you miss a day, it is college after all.
August 22, 200322 yr I don't care too much for days off in college, I mean, at least in my case, I will only have classes three days a week (Tue thru Thurs). at Columbia though, and I find this pretty weird, right before Fall Semester finals (held in January) is winter break. so you have two weeks off, go back to school for two-three weeks, then get another three weeks off before the Spring Semester starts.
August 22, 200322 yr Well.. since you were hanging around like a sick puppy dog.. I'm sure you know the answer. WTF! Let me get this straight, you leave me in mah seat all alone, and Koch gets an upskirt shot?
August 22, 200322 yr WTF! Let me get this straight, you leave me in mah seat all alone, and Koch gets an upskirt shot? Uhhh.. no. There was NO such thing.
August 22, 200322 yr WTF! Let me get this straight, you leave me in mah seat all alone, and Koch gets an upskirt shot? Uhhh.. no. There was NO such thing. Koch had one of those tiny cams and hes showing us pics at this very moment.

They had a thing they gave to the students at Bradley and said that even if you devote your time to going to every class and studying/working two hours for every hour your in class (like you should), then on a 15 semester hour schedule, you should still have 49 hours of free-time, enough to hold a job down to make some cash and enough time to screw around and piss it all away.

Subtract 21 from the 49, and you get 28! You gotta factor watching EVERY Sox game into that schedule!
August 22, 200322 yr Subtract 21 from the 49, and you get 28! You gotta factor watching EVERY Sox game into that schedule! Not too many Sox games on past September (though they better change that this year).
August 22, 200322 yr Not too many Sox games on past September (though they better change that this year). Bmr had a vision in which Comiskey was filled on a late October evening! So far, he's 4-0 with such visions, so it's looking good!
August 22, 200322 yr Graduated from SIU two years ago. Big time Cardinal country. No White Sox except in my top drawer. Consider yourself lucky.

You do what you want with your time...It is those who "f*** around" that will be in big trouble. But, if you REALLY want a social life, you'll find time. I think that all depends on the individual. I know when I go to law school I'm probably gonna quit working because of the workload, but right now I still do it, but I make sure I have a job thats flexible with school and I got plenty of time for social events. I don't work nights or weekends
August 23, 200322 yr I don't work nights or weekends LOL...I do work weekends...But I've got it scheduled so I don't miss the important things... For example, I signed up for only the Sundays that the Bears game doesn't begin at noon!
August 23, 200322 yr It has been said already, but don't dick around with your studies the first semester, or that matter every semester. Try and find your study habits ie papers, tests, projects. For example, I learned that I need room to move around to think/thought about my work. Try and take MWF Classes. Heck, the two years I speant at Purdue and than Albion I foundthat I never had a Tuesday class and only twice Thursday classes, The Thrursday classes were history classes that were one day a week for three hours. That was rough, but hey it was the only class I had that day. By my senior year I had planned out my schedule to a point that I had a three day weekend. As soon as my class ended at 3pm it was all weekend. Of course, I allways worked on my homework every weekend So the advice is to plan your schedule in advance. Think about your major plan around. Hell, I think it worked for me. I'm in graduate school now.

Kinda hard for mathematics majors like me, when all mathematics courses are four-hour courses meeting four times a week, and Tuesday's always the 'off' day during the week.
August 23, 200322 yr Heck, the two years I speant at Purdue and than Albion really - Albion? The Albion? In Albion, Michigan? This Albion? This Albion College? I was the Lutheran campus pastor there for a few years and lived just east of the campus. Had some very interesting times in Albion.
August 23, 200322 yr I know some classes it is important to go to but for me you have to decide for yourself how important it is. Go for the first couple weeks and see how good the lecturer is and how relevant his material is to the reading etc. You can usually get a great gauge of the course at midterm because exam stuff could be all out of the book or all out of the lecture or somewhere in between. I usually do alot better in classes after the first exam because I know exactly what to study.
August 23, 200322 yr You never learn the worth of a quarter until you get to college. Be prepared to spend millions of quarters for laundry. Colleges nationwide are all the culprits of the laundry scandle. What do they do? They give you the s***tiest dryers on the planet, forcing you to feed the dryer with quarters a half a dozen times before your clothes actually get dried. A scam in the making!
August 23, 200322 yr really - Albion? The Albion? In Albion, Michigan? This Albion? This Albion College? I was the Lutheran campus pastor there for a few years and lived just east of the campus. Had some very interesting times in Albion. Yes, the same Albion. Graduated in 2000. Yes, every once in a while fun times can be had at that school. Especially when you have off campus "events" and profs come by for a little
August 23, 200322 yr Kinda hard for mathematics majors like me, when all mathematics courses are four-hour courses meeting four times a week, and Tuesday's always the 'off' day during the week. So do you mena you always have an off day on Tuesday, or no classes offered by the school. Because I can tell you every where I have went and currently go Tuesdays classes are available
August 23, 200322 yr So do you mena you always have an off day on Tuesday, or no classes offered by the school. Because I can tell you every where I have went and currently go Tuesdays classes are available I have non-mathematics classes on Tuesdays. 66.6% of the classes you have to take are not of your major here. They are known as the 'gen eds' and other requirements to go hand-in-hand with your major. I've never had the capacity to have an 'off' day during the week, and this is my seventh semester here.
