I'm bored with this Child.

DZsis&mom, thank you! THIS ^ is what I'm talking about. We need to stop with the watering down of our education system and letting anyone and everyone in. This is essentially the point I was making when I talked about challenging schools. Because I don't want to be offensive, I won't go into detail why I (and most people from my area) would think that it's pretty sad that the OP would be doing so poor at Bloomsburg.

I also wanted to add that AnotherKD knows what I'm talking about then--so, it doesn't need to be said. Thank you.

I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible. Unless your major is something like a hard science or math then there is no reason you should be doing so poor at Bloomsburg..

No, it didn't have to be said. Regardless of whether the OP is a troll or not, the school-basing is unnecessary and unbecoming, as are all of the assumptions packed around it.

But if you're going to cast stones, the word you're looking for is "poorly," not "poor."

You're right. I shouldn't have said anything along those lines. I was trying to make a point and I did it in an unbecoming way. I apologize to the OP (and anyone else who has attended/ graduated from there).

I might. Alienation of affection.

Wow, blast from the past. It's been a while since als has gotten haughty about colleges.

(This was all based on you having on 30 hours of credits...which would not make you a Jr. ) If you were a Jr., you can not pull up your GPA that fast against 60 hours. Liar Liar...Pants on Fire

I'm bored with this Child.

when did i say i had a 2.12??

rachiexo · #6 02-22-2012, 09:20 PM

just in general you all seem very bitter. why is that? i always strive to be an encouraging person. if i were in your situation...i would just think, go for it girl! keep focusing on your grades like you have been, and if being greek will make you happy then you should try it despite that you are a junior. you are all for some reason trying to bring me down!!!

SWTXBelle · #7 02-22-2012, 09:22 PM

Oh, reality.

Sometimes, it is a bummer.

In before the lock.

Bitter? No. Realistic? Yes. Learn how to write and start getting better grades. I have a hard time telling you, "Go for it girl," when you aren't doing too hot and it's junior year. What are your goals for the future? What are you even majoring in? Please do NOT say Education.

i have learned how to write and am actually a good writer..i have mentioned before that when i am online i type as if i would be texting. i certainly do have goals for the future and i am a business major. i don't feel my goals for the future and listing them out for you would in any way help solve my issue of how i could be successful in rush as a junior.

This = laziness. If you want people to care enough to respond to you with actual answers, care enough to write well.

Guess what, cupcake? I also post like I text - but you see, the difference is I text like an educated person. Also, if I were trying to convince people that I wasn't an academic loser with no business thinking of joining a sorority I would make sure my posts were pluperfect.

eta - MC, this semester I received my first academic paper with text speak in it. I wanted to cry.
