why do people take studying to seriously? imma my second year full-time student at college, and right now 23 years old.
ill be honest: ive been drunk for almost every day for past 2 years. all thanks to college. ive been partying hard, banged a lot of women, getting arrested for stupid shit, and eventually participating in lectures while totally hangovering and/or drunk. and guys: i dont regret it. im having a good time. shitloads of fun and shit going on every day. i live in an apartment next to my school with my comrade together whom i rent it. and we PARTY HARD !! i dont give a fuck what my neighbors think, nor do i give a fuck what my parents think. i think they are hooked onto this old model that "be a good boy, study hard, and youll have success". well fuck me, i aint gonna waste my youth. im sure as hell ill finish my school *almost* on time, and get a better-than-average job afterwards. yeah, i flipped burgers, i did some IT-related bullshit, even was a bartender once. i hated all of these jobs. they brought me back being a jobless but full of joy and wasted all the time. still am. feelsgreatman

if you are very lucky. some people actually study to learn things to get good jobs instead of just slightly-above-average-jobs.

>ive been drunk for almost every day

Tons of people do both. I'm at an ivy league and the students here study hard and party hard. The people who can't manage both (due to lack of self control, brains and willpower) and can't accept the fact that they're fucking failures say stupid shit like "Uh, I don't regret partying, cause studying is dumb!"

Face it, you're a goddamn failure and people like you are scum of the earth.

not your whole life while you're there though. should you be learning while you're working too? or while you're on 4chan? Obviously there's a time for different things. there is such a thing as free time. if you're not in class or studying, you can do whatever you want and still be a good student.
>He goes drunk to his classes

and my point was that he is still using class time to learn, not to have fun during class.

fun =/= anti-intellectualism. are you saying life should be completely devoid of enjoyment?
>He can't learn properly while being drunk
he's not drunk in class. I've already corrected this once, you must have bad short-term memory.
>Pleb detected. And most likely retarded.
You're the one who has so much trouble learning material that you apparently have no free time, who's the real retard here? also, what university do YOU go to.
>Just stating obvious truths.
saying it's the truth doesn't make it so either.
>You didn't even understand the points. I guess you can't even read properly
understood them perfectly. tell me what i understood wrong if i indeed did. simply telling me i'm wrong is what children do.
>Anti-intellectualism is always despicable.

I do not have any trouble. I am learning way ahead of my classes. I am definitely more intelligent than you.

I don't need to "make" it the truth because it already is.

Not him, but the problem I'm seeing here is that you want intellectualism for its own sake and nothing more.

You speak of constantly learning and studying ahead in your classes, but this is basically wasted time. Nothing you gain by being ahead is gong to yield any useful scientific progress, its just going to slightly increase a grade in a class that will have little to no bearing on whatever you do end up researching.

All you end up doing is not enjoying yourself for no benifit during one of the last times in your life you will have the freedom to do so.

Education is the most important prerequisite for scientific progress. Being a drunken dumbass is less likely to yield scientific progress.

You can't increase straight A's anymore.

I think OP has a point even if he's being facetious.

In my experience, college is a babysitter. Teens get out of high-school had usually aren't sure what they want to do. They either go to school and regret it and switch majors or they stick with it and their career isn't what they thought.

But it is a way to waste time while not appearing to waste time. Parents will pay for their kids to go party with lectures in between keggers. And they do enough to get by. And at the end of the 4 years, they still aren't sure what they want to do. There not really in much of a better place than when they graduated high-school. They just have a $100k piece of paper that says they slept during some lectures for four years.

THAT'S why college graduates have a hard time getting employment. They're told if they go to daycare and be good, they'll get everything they've ever wanted when they get back.

If people would decide what they wanted to do early on, get out in the real world and actually experience things so they can figure it out, it would be a great benefit. And they should be looking for a job from day one of college. Pick up a phone and call these places that hire graduates, see what they're like. See what they require. Make connections. Tour facilities and intern. Don't just sit on your ass and act like a diploma is a promise of employment.
