lolz XD totally.

I hate college. officially.

my books for this semester are going to cost me *AT MINIMUM* $289, which may not seem like a lot, but when you're on a college budget and some of the A$$hole professors change texts every semester so you can't return any of your books for reimbursement, it really effing sucks.

That is exactly why I prefer to be dumb and uneducated.

Smarts is overrated.

I do get to wondering what I can learn next. Seems few things give that old 1st grade lined paper giganto pencil with no eraser learning how to write letters feeling anymore. I don't know everything and there is plenty out there to learn. But I try not to muddle up my brain with stuff I won't use. It makes me forget other things and takes up needed space for other thing.

lol i hear ya. College wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to have gen ed courses that we're NEVER going to use @_@ but i guess it's just another way for the institution to get money from you. Why can't colleges be specialized so all you're learning is your major, and a minor if you want it? why all the extra bullshit? @_@ *dies*

My old college book trick was to buy them on amazon.uk.co or whatever the UK site is. Textbook costs are supplemented by the government there (thanks UK taxpayers ). Now that the dollar is tanking it might not be much of a savings.

I know a guy who is going to spend 300+ on just one textbook. I think it is some French literature. One kind of work can you get with that knowledge. It better pay good bucks.

Well it is his choice. He reads only classics. I am not sure what he is finally after with this education except reading a lot authors who have been dead for 200 or more years.

Well speaking as someone with a lot of impractical knowledge..sometimes it's just nice to know for it's own sake.
Oh and they make you take generals so you're not a one note moron who only knows your subject area and can't find Yugoslavia on a map
OK and amazon uk is a great choice for textbooks... also you can find places online that'll buy your books back. My least favorite thing was when the professor assigned the book they wrote..
