You could become rich by redrawing famous archeological findings like the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin or Achilles and Ajax playing petteia, except with all characters replaced with cute girls. I for one would buy a book where a little girl version of Narmer or Naram-Sin crushes her enemies and ushers a new era of lolicracy while Ishtar and Nanna (or Horus and Bat) grant her the divine right to rule.

> I can write down everything I learned in college on the palm of one hand. The most important lesson I learned was that it's not worth your time. Though don't take that as a license to be a fucking idiot. If you don't go to college, you have to work hard and be inspired enough to learn on your own.

They don't take attendance for classes here. You show up if you want to or not. You don't have obligation to attend the classes (but they of course want you to be there).

As for exams, if you don't show up you get a 0 for the subject and you obviously don't get the credits. You can do it 2 times(I changed orientation after failing 1st year) but the 2nd time (i.e. for me it's the second time taking my current orientation) you need to earn 50% of your credits or you'll be denied access for that orientation. Which is the situation I'm now. This is a Belgian university, by the way.

It's the base of all our Epistemology, only if we can create a entity and study it apart of other entities we can learn thus the existence of number 1 becomes the first true axiom.

I didn't say anything about dumbing down. Cambridge doesn't 'dumb down' anything, but the supervision system treats students like retards. Fair enough the material is more difficult than at an average university, but surely a Cambridge calibre student can cope with that without having a tutor emailing them every 2 days like they're best buddies.

There's also the fact that (at least in some subjects) Cambridge degrees are weighted only on the final year. What the fuck is that lol? So for at least two years you are doing exams that don't matter at all. I totally get that Oxbridge in general is a tough place to be and the work is harder than normal, but I don't understand why the students need to be treated like babbies to help them do that work.

This. In fact if he wasn't some toff who was privately educated and had money thrown at him and all the usual stereotypes, he's even more successful in my eyes.

I feel sorry for you guys though. I was part of that state school programme that took the smart kids to posh universities to show them what life is like there. I opted for Oxford instead of Cambridge, but it was still full of stuck-up cunts. My big fear was actually that it would be full of super academic types who hate fun because they all "study" (instead of revise) twenty hours a day, and look down on people who drink alcohol or watch television or have fun. In reality they were largely the opposite. Typical, drunken, socializing students with that awful middle/upper class air about them.

I imagine Cambridge is similar, and you guys have my condolences.

The advice I would give to /jp/ anons trying to make friends at university is that you find them in unexpected places.

In first year I was friendless, even moreso than the 'nerds'. I tried all of the most obvious routes (anime club, etc) but left due to anxiety.

I stopped looking for friends on purpose and through a chain of coincidences and such I suddenly made a decent number of them. After you have at least a few it becomes much easier to make more.

The most obvious solutions aren't always the best. Most people at anime clubs are closet normalfags/annoying anyway.

I'm in my fifth year at university. It doesn't all feel like a waste since I'm currently a research associate for a professor. However, since I'm studying Anthropology, my only options are teaching. But I'd be fine with that. Leave my house a few times a week to teach, then I have summers off to do whatever I want to do.

You know, it's funny. I always imagined the more expensive/renowned institutions would be a little more easygoing. I can understand them being strict, but you're also the top class of people who did well academically and can obviously be trusted to handle things by yourself.

I somehow got into an "outstanding" sixth form and then learned reality was the opposite. 18 years old and we had to wear uniforms, stay in the building from 8:30-3:15 (even if we didn't have lessons), and sit in "study booths" in silence during our free periods (we could apply to go to the library if we gave a good reason). Going to a former polytechnic university was a huge breath of fresh air after that.

I graduated from college with a BA in Criminal Justice. I was planning on going to graduate school but by the time I got graduated I was completely broke and my parents gave me the "we would love nothing more than to support you and your goals to the future but you have to help us out talk" and I was swimming already a the time in student loans.

So I became a police officer and life has been good and shitty ever since.

Yeah, even in the area, most sixth forms were pretty relaxed. They could wear what they wanted and go into town during lunch/free periods and basically do what they wanted. I probably would have been more successful in that sort of environment, even though I'm not a very social or extroverted person.

Thing is, my sixth form won some OFSTED award and ranked high in a lot of results tables. Their way of maintaining it was by forcing students to work in little cubicles under constant supervision to prevent chatter. It was a nightmare, and I hope it gets to people and fucks the school over.

When I started studying, I got to know a number of people. But somehow I couldn't make proper friendships. They just got more and more distant, until we were strangers. I guess I'm simply a social retards. There was also this one guy with who I did everything (from going to classes to taking meals together), but at the end of university, when classes ended and there was no more reason to see each other, contact suddenly stopped.

I never heard of him again, even though he knew how to find me online. Sad.

I've found there's a spectrum between the two (the mathematics faculty is full of autists for example), but it basically boils down to a student body that doesn't do much other than drinking or studying. So, same as anywhere.

I'm sure there's people with similar interests, but I haven't gone out of my way to try and meet them, so I have no reason to complain. I think at least 50% came from state schools, so I haven't felt out of place in that regard, though they seem far too eager to take part in the pretentious displays of decorum that Oxbridge is known for (dressing up for formal dinners, etc.).

I went to University and the only person who tried talking to me was a Chinese guy who couldn't hardly any english, I promised I'd teach him some during lectures as neither of us cared enough to pay attention, but I always rolled up into class on various drugs and would just teach him nonsense phrases that I thought were funny or important at the time. He hung on to every word, I don't want to see what car wreck his vocabulary is all these years onwards.

The other guy was a goth WoWfag with long hair, acne, a long trenchcoat and a trillby. He used to talk about all the computers he could hack and some Magic the Gathering RPG he played or something. One day I noticed that all he wore underneath his trenchcoat was a pair of big goth boots and a bath robe. Seriously.

I'm having hard time deciding between going back to university (I didn't actually attend any classes during the time I spent there) and getting a vocational education.

I'm probably attention whoring here but I feel the need to tell some stories anyway.

Even though I've always been on the internet, I have dreams and aspirations that have made me go to university and persue a normalfag life, but it's always ended in wreckage and I come back to the internet to hide from it all.

Because I liked anime, I went to some cons and decided that leading a normalfag life with weaboos would be fun and compensate for my lack of childhood. Some girl on a cosplay website said she was going to the same uni as me, so I thought this would be a good foot in the door for socialising as we agreed to join the anime club together. I kept looking out for her on campus and accidently bumped into her, she said something to me but I had my music on at the time and didn't want to inturrupt the song, so I pretended I didn't see her and carried on walking.

Then once I'd walked at a fast pace away from everyone, I turned over my shoulder to see if she was there, I kept seeing a person in the distance and thought she was following me. I was running around campus but the person in the distance was still there, so I ran home.

When I got back home, I decided to hit back and set up an account on websites she was registered on and follow her around, leaving mysterious messages on her stuff to freak her out. Then I had to keep wearing different clothes to university so she couldn't identify me.

I'm glad you asked.

Another time I saw a man at the university bus stop who looked like Yakuza and was reading a pamphlet about ants. He had a tattoo of an ant on his neck smelled of bacon too.

I'm not sure why, but I figured he was the "ant man" and decided to follow him to find the ant hive. He eventually caught on and said "Are you lost?" but I could tell he was angry, I tried to reverse the situation and call the police to make him scared but as I got my phone out and started dialling I realised he was not scared by this threat at all. Not wanting to phone the police about nothing, I aimed my phone at him. I heard somewhere that ants don't like microwave signals, so I thought this would deter him. I had to run away, but I followed him to a place in town I wasn't familiar with, so I ran to the bus stop we just stopped at which was about 10 metres away. I sat down and pretended nothing had happened but prayed in my head he wouldn't follow me. It was karma, and completely my fault.

I do realise how crazy this all sounds, but at the time it was the logical thing to do. The problem with schizophrenia is that you do strange things that you're aware are strange at the time, but you MUST follow them through.

I am a perfectly normal person if I try to be.

I was at a community college before university, whenever I was there I would dream about that part of town every night. During my lunch breaks I used to act out the things I did in my dreams in that part of town to see if anything would happen. I have an obsession with dreams. Once I had a dream inside a dream, and it made me realise that everything could be a dream inside a dream. On that logic I wondered if I could teleport from my reality back to my bed and restart the day/dream in an outer-dream by acting out the actions of the last. A little bit like russian dolls. Needless to say, results came back inconclusive and I got bored of trying.

Ant Man had two pieces of fringe that resembled feelers on an ant, he had brownish skin that resembled an ant, he was foreign, but I couldn't tell where on earth he came from. That's why I thought he must have been the real deal.

I think I'm charasmatic, I had a sort of internet girlfriend once and we met up a few times. Before I knew her I set up multiple accounts on the sites she visited and pretended to be friends of hers, she would add them to MSN and talk about me and ask them for advice about me. I knew this would happen so naturally I manipulated "their" replies to say good things about me, whilst keeping personality profiles of all of them in notepad so that I didn't break character. "They" would come online at different times and have lives of "their" own.

I basically played god with her life and she eventually confessed and said how much she liked me. Once I came to this result, I realised I had not found someone who loved me, but instead had manipulated circumstances to make me the king of a dellusional world I'd created. I felt like Lelouch and had just finished watching Code Geass R2. I knew I had to destroy the circle of lies so I told her. I gave her a big lecture about how sometimes the choices we make in life can be influenced by the most subtle things, and we should always think for ourselves. She blocked and deleted me. We never spoke again.

I always used to dream about UFOs of all shapes and sizes. Some would be like frisbees with lights on them that kept crashing into my head. Other times I'd have dreams about the sky going dark and a big mothership flying overhead.

When I was young I used to play Super Mario Bros 2 with my older sister, she told me the nighttime world was called "SUBWAY" and a recurring theme of my dream has been to escape to "the subway" which is a place that I've never actually gotten to or seen. When I was at the college, I would have dreams about running down various roads in slow motion and my legs and arms would stretch out in weird proportions.

Once I had a dream that I had to kill the manager of AKB48, it played like a stealth part of Metal Gear Solid and I killed him by stabbing him in the leg repeatedly. I woke up and realised what I'd done. My mother was telling me about how the police was treating his death as suspicious. It worried me and then I woke up again. I didn't tell anyone about my dream in case it happened and I accidently confessed.

I always become sad because threads like these end up with people just saying "your degree is worthless!" at each other. It's not as if an English major is ignorant to the fact he won't make money. He's learning what he wants to learn.

In high school I was the top of some lame advanced course, and everyone was making plans to go to big universities except me. They kept trying to persuade me, but I just didn't want to. I didn't have any life dreams that would benefit from further education.

Many times they would ask where I wanted to go to college. I told them I did not want to go to college. They could never seem to understand how I could not want to. They would always have a scrunched up, puzzled look on their face.

Then they would either walk away or ask "What do you plan to do?" usually in a confused voice. I would reply "Whatever I want to do, I suppose." That would confuse them even further.

For a while I considered majoring in English because I love literature. I decided against it, because I didn't want a professor or other students "grading" my literature interpretations. They would always be wrong, and I would always be right, so there was no point in going through with it.

Imagine you are reading a book. It is one of those heavy ones that talk about something deep, like social structure or philosophy or theoretic physics. It could even be a really boring novel. The thing is, it has really small letters, in fact they are so small that after some hours of boring reading, the endless series of lines of text start blurring your vision, causing you to skip lines. You try to get your mind together and try to read the next line, but you miss again, reading the same line again and again for two or three times. Getting annoyed by this, you try to look at something else for a moment and resume reading only to take it up at small letters, in fact they are so small that after some hours of boring reading, the endless series of lines of text start blurring your vision, causing you to skip lines.

I don't want to be a normalfag but I want to get a job and eventually move to Japan and I know that it will require a degree of normalfaggotry to do this. The college was easy because I could safely do my thing away from people and come back after lunch feeling refreshed. It was in a grim area, so I could also pretend I was in a cyberpunk novel just by hanging around in the dingy areas where big trucks would drop off their cargo.

Also I have a duality crash in my head. If I start living a nice normalfag life the other side of my head will want to destroy it and burn it to the ground. I practiced by on a chatroom full of casuals and pretending to be one of them. I had a fake life and pretended to be just another blip on the radar, but soon I couldn't put up with it. I wanted to convince them there was some kind of glitch virus going around, so I began to slip typos into my words, gradually over periods of weeks this would increase until I was just talking nonsense and I got kicked for spamming multiple times. I returned and reeled off a long series of numbers and psuedocode I copied and pasted from programming tutorials, eventually I was banned for good.

Picture in your mind a massive yellow phone book.

In this phone book is a name, number and address for every human being alive, that has ever lived, and ever will live, along with an equivalent number of pages in the business directory.

This phone book is on an old wooden table in a concrete room with no doors or windows.

You are trapped in the room and have a compulsion to read the phone book. You have now read through it cover-to-cover five-thousand, seven-hundred, thirty-one times. Your hands are pale from the lack of sunlight. Your hands are covered in scars from paper cuts. Your hands resemble the surface of Europa. You reach for the phone book one more time and flip through the pages like a picture book. As you flip through the pages at high-speed, the names and numbers form an image of yourself, staring back at you with a corrupted smile. The skin on your hands is now in shreds, the razor edges of the phone book having revealed bare bone, to which you are oblivious as you watch images dance on thin, colored-coded pages.

You have now flipped through the book eleven-thousand, eight-hundred, sixty-eight times.

This is what tanasinn is like.

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, one of the monkeys will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result, then, all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairs. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, and then a fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not?
