parkinglot Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've been sitting in a library for 5 hours writing this anthropology paper on Sokolovsky's "The Cultural Context of Aging". I just read through the first 1,700 words and its total shit. It's due tomorrow. I'm not re-writing it. Fuck it. I'll hope for the best. Maybe everyone else's will be even worse than mine. This thread is as dumb as they get, but I really need a mental break from this shit. asdfghjkl kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeconspiracy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 i once had a mini meltdown over handing in a paper i thought was total shit. i literally had no idea what i was talking about while writing it. later, the teacher said it was the best one in the class. moral of the story: never underestimate your own powers of bullshitting.

Aych Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have a 12-page SWOT analysis and a script for a 22-minute TV episode (about 22-25 pages) due next week. I haven't started on either. I've never gotten below a C on any paper I've turned in so far, though, so hopefully I can continue the trend. Excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.

yocaseycasey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 you should publish this. I still have it somewhere. When I handed it in, I included a CD that had a soundtrack of all the songs that I mentioned either blatantly or referenced lyrics from. The cover page had a picture of me where I was drunk, shirtless, and had a towel wrapped around my neck like a cape. I took college seriously. themeconspiracy and jonnywreck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I wrote 150 pages of papers a year ago. any time a professor says "8-10 page paper" I laugh because that is so unbelievably easy to do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I wrote 150 pages of papers a year ago. any time a professor says "8-10 page paper" I laugh because that is so unbelievably easy to do now. Agreed I've written one that was 130 and one that was 50, now when class mates complain about 5 page papers I just laugh at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I bullshitted my way out of doing a 20-page paper. It wasn't for a required class, though. It was my last semester and I had senior projects and a cross-country move to worry about. Two days after the due date, the professor emailed me and asked where my paper was. I told the (slighty dramatized) truth and all I got in return was "Don't worry about it. Enjoy Florida" and I got a B. I was quite shocked.

somethingvinyl Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 In college, I had to write a 30ish page paper. It was on psychological effects of entertainment on culture. Here's my opening paragraph: Many words have already been written on and about the subject of the entertainment culture. If there were ever a more comprehensive, limitless, diverse, far-reaching, overabundant expansion of information available about one specific topic or area of study, you would have to be discussing all the elements that arrange the composition and makeup of our entire universe. However, we are not talking about the physical and natural evidence for the cosmos. The discussion at hand is about the character and personality of the physical and public entity that, “Alongside other technological systems and institutional mechanisms in the modern world, they have lifted social relations out of face-to face contexts and stretched or extended them across large distances, dislocating space from place” (Moores, 2000). Yes, we are talking about the entertainment culture and the effects of which it has on society.That one took a while, even with the verbose writing. turbobrando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I made it through college with only having to write a few 10-15 page papers. I always found that I'd spend about 90% of my time writing frustrated and producing nothing and then I'd hit my stride and be able to knock the whole thing out in no time.

batman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 as a biochem major/philosophy minor in undergrad i got double whammy'd with writing assignments all the time. it was really weird to have to write lab reports alongside existentialism and metaphysics papers. grad school was just entirely too much technical writing.

billya Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I once had to write an essay on a book that was about the American Dream. I wrote it about Billy Bragg's song "To Have and Have Not". I got an A, but the teacher didn't get that it was a song, even when I included it in the bibliography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
