The point is that college is supposed to be about learning and becoming mature adults. So I do have a right to be pissed at the jokers who don’t take it seriously and half ass it especially if it might effect my grade on a group project.

That’s what I’m saying. Even state universities require you to maintain an overall 2.0 to remain at school. I don’t see what Cheshire’s problem is with that, other than she wants continued recognition and praise for being such a good student long after grades and academic performance have ceased to matter.

Interviewers didn’t care about her better-than-C grades! CAN YOU IMAGINE?? The world is not as she expected it to be! Water is wet!

Having unrealistic expectations about the world and then being bitter about it – a sure sign of immaturity and entitlement.

I went to the local state school, so I went with a lot of my high school graduating class, most of whom I hated. It was with a certain glee that I watched their numbers dwindle throughout the first year. Very few returned for the second.

Please stop using the money I sent you to buy cans of spray paint that you’ll just use for vandalism while under the influence of mentioned booze.

Mostly, I just hate college. I was told growing up that college is where people take education seriously and that things change blah blah blah. I was very let down. More of the same.

You are right though, grades don’t matter because my husband and I had excellent grades and graduated top of our classes. Yet we could not get a job out of college and most interviewers sneered and got pissy with us about our grades. So more like we were punished for studying.

Oh well, its over with now.

I don’t know what podunk school you went to but just about every 4-year state university has an academic standard of maintaining 2.0 cumulative GPA to stay in school. 2.0 is a C grade. A C grade is AVERAGE. Are you saying someone with a 2.0 shouldn’t graduate?

So, you’re mad that they passed while having more fun, and possibly (though not necessarily) more money, and more privileges than you. Boo-hoo, you poor thing.

Here, I will demonstrate how little anyone cares about your self-reported success in college: I graduated from a Big 10 university with high honors (top 5% of my graduating class of 8,000) – do you give a shit? That’s what I thought. But you go ahead and keep believing I failed out, it’ll keep your persecution complex alive!

Duh, the students that could balance it were not the ones I am talking about. I balanced it. Not ranting against myself. It was the ones who screwed up semester after semester barely getting by with low Cs or Ds. I went to a state school so they did not kick anyone out for bad grades. They were more than happy to continue to take whatever tuition money their parents were happy to pay.

The only people giving me the hard time were the ones who probably barely got through college or failed out.
