There is a ton of wealthy Indian's in Portland. Or is it like that everywhere? It seems like their last name is always Patel. Is that like Johnson in India?
lmao I know a few rich Indians named Patel but none go to my college. We're too idealistic and not profitable enough though... Its not even stuff thats not in the book its just ridiculous shit that we haven't learned. We're just picking up the basic concept of something and on the first homework you throw on a few problems that the fuckin TAs can't even figure out? Shit, if the brightest 5% of students want a challenge tell them to take a harder class or ask personally for harder problems. Otherwise you're just confusing the shit out of everyone and making them discouraged. It sounds whiny, and it is, but then the professors get annoyed when everyone has tuned their dumb asses out in the first 3 weeks. Stop fucking around and just tell us what we need to know to pass the fucking test and get our fucking degree. We don't blow our load over linear algebra like you do so quit proving how intellectually superior you are (even though you've taught the course for 17 years and still fuck up half of the examples in class) and learn to TEACH the people who are going to go on to do shit more important than lecture 19 year olds for 4 hours a week and tell them how fucking stupid they are for not understanding something it took you yourself years to learn.
There was some theory me and my friends had with the indians and the BMWs. About how it was a "pedestrian" car, so they wouldn't buy anything too flashy. But they would modify them.
My friend who's last name is Patel claimed that "hotel" and "motel" came from "patel" since so many of them are owned by Indians. who knows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel guess not. I think maybe Patels are probably in a high caste in India, therefore they are able to move to the US?
I literally can't understand one of my profs right now. He has such a heavy Chinese accent that the TA has to essentially repeat the whole lecture over again after the prof teaches it. He's supposedly new to the university and even admitted that he didn't speak english well. It's an intro class in grad school, and it's basically all math with ~60 people in the class, so no tenured prof wants to teach it.
Pull a Rosie O'Donnell/Rush Limbaugh on him and see if he understands you! [video=youtube;NJmJivheE9w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJmJivheE9w[/video] [video=youtube;Dmv04yKG-po]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmv04yKG-po[/video]
I'm lucky to only see the goodside of college. I work Sunday-Wednesday (40 hours) and head down to VA Tech, UVA, George Mason, VCU, Wilmington, Radford every other week or so. Endless parties and plenty of single ladies! Couple of things I've noticed: - I hate when everyone crowds around the keg for the majority of the party. That shit will eventually run out but when everyone is crowded in one spot it takes away from the rest of the fiesta. Learn to get your buzz on before you go out for the night. Nothing worse than an empty dance floor! - People who are dickheads for no reason. "Who do you know here?" "Who the fuck do you know here?" Probably not the best response... - Partying in winter blows. I hate having to wear a jacket when walking to a party and then having to stand in a steaming hot basement with that shit on. There is no way I'm going to hang it up somewhere. Not only that, women don't show enough skin! I think summer brings out the crazy in everyone. - Spending absurd amounts of money at 7/11 in the early hours of the morning. I... Can't... Help it! Taquitos are so tasty when I have the drunk munchies! - Putting the keg in the bathroom. *****, when I gotta break the seal I want to be doing it in an honorable way! Pissing on the side of an Acura isn't my idea of polite. Put the keg in the kitchen or build a makeshift bar! Looks better anyway. - If you're going to have one of those fluorescent paint parties, please make sure that it can be washed out. Not something you care about at the time but such a bitch the next morning. - Clumsy fucks who can't keep their arms from swinging around. I don't know if you've noticed, but almost everyone has a drink in their hand, douchebag. - People who constantly ask for cigarettes. Buy your own pack, this is an expensive habit! Lighter fiends are welcomed assuming you return my purple spark! I'll think of moar.
Half of that shit I never saw out here at college parties. But maybe I didn't go to enough fratty parties
My goal is to be in a PhD program by the time I'm 30. As far as student loans go, I have around 70k right now, and I am going to consolidate and pay as little as possible per month for the rest of my life. Peace Corps for 5+ years is also an option, because they can cancel 15% of your loans per year, up to 70%. You mean I can live overseas for 5 years AND get rid of most of my debt? Where do I sign up? Most of my friends either didn't go to college or got a useful degree in science or engineering. They all gave me shit when I started grad school 3 years ago. For the record, every one of them currently hates their job and life (but they have big HD-TVs!) and I love what I do. So there's that. I didn't get a cell phone until 2008(!) There are tons of Saudis who drive $100,000 cars from their downtown condos to school.
Re: Re: College observations... In my experience frat parties were only good freshman year. You get tired of the same shit. After that you hit the bars for college night and specific sorority mixers X
I gather you're a frat guy? My friends and I have found that the best response is to just confidently say a random name. "Oh, I'm George's friend" and you can tell they're pretty sure its bullshit but they still go back into the hallway of their house and ask all their roommates if they know a George. It buys you at least 5 minutes so you can go crush ass on a beer or two before they actually kick you out. But there are definitely way to many people who are dickheads for no reason. Maybe me doing that makes me a dickhead. I would argue that the person asking "who do you know?" at a HUGE fucking party is a dickhead but thats all perspective lol. Lots of guys really go out of their way to be huge assholes which is really annoying. i.e. a huge crowded party and you're bound to bump into some people and they act like they're ready to throw down when your shoulders graze. Its almost like those guys can sniff out the small nice kinda guys because there are two friends in our group who always seem to be targeted who are both pretty small guys and definitely not fighting types. Of course if anyone else is there and tells him "I think I touched your shoulder too you wanna step out" he'll always act like he was personally snubbed by the other guy and that he has some beef with the other guy. Its funny too when a frat guy is acting a fool and kind of implicates that any of his frat brothers will be there to back him up after hes started shit but as it gets closer and closer to a real altercation it becomes more and more obvious that his "brothers" aren't going to back him up AT ALL and whoever hes instigating with's friends are ready to go. I've been reading my balls off all weekend. Godamn social sciences is such BULLSHIT. The more I read the less I believe in any "studies" finding's. Seriously fucking ridonculous.
It's all subjective maaaaaaaan. You can't like, FIND findings, brah. That means that like, it was lost, which means that you're just imposing your worldview an shit duuude. Heavy.
Nah, I'm not a frat guy. I don't go to college. I'm in the same boat as you. There is always this one guy in our group who gets picked on by the 'roid heads. Funny thing is, he is a fourth degree blackbelt in Taekwondo. Luckily nothing ever comes of it.
I would wager they don't want to share "their pussy" at the party. Also yes, the hard sciences are called hard science not because they are super difficult or anything, but because they have hard evidence.
