Today, my professor spent the entire class showing us how to make paper airplanes. I pay over 40 grand a year for college. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
The Birmingham School of Business School
Today, I found out that my stick figure drawing passed as homework during my doctoral level seminar. I'm paying over two thousand dollars for this course. FML
Today, my college professor handed every student a note card and told us to rate his looks from 1 to 5. Is this what I pay $20,000 a year for? FML
Shut up and take it
Today my college professor told me that I ask him too many questions. Apparently, my college tuition fee doesn't include learning. FML
Today, I bought my very first college textbook. I received a stack of hole-punched papers. My $195 "book" isn’t even bound together. FML
In vain
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML
Empathy is a thing
Today, my teacher made the class do Origami. As a disabled and very ham-fisted individual, I was the only one who struggled, while everyone else seemed to get it effortlessly. I started getting extremely upset as it just did not work, and the teacher would not understand just how impossible it is for me. FML
Today, in my architecture class, my professor's lecture consisted of a list of movies and books which feature characters who are architects. I couldn't leave because I needed the attendance points, and it lasted 45 minutes. I paid out of state tuition for this. FML
Today, my professor handed me back a paper I spent hours hours working on. At the bottom in red it said "D" followed by, "That was a gift." FML
Today, I found out that I have to take a weekly workshop outside of class time all semester, and it's only offered on the day I have the most work hours. I barely make ends meet as it is, but the professor said to figure it out or fail. FML
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. FML

I was just thinking, "maybe it's an aerodynamics class?" Even basic physics could have an opportunity to talk about air resistance.

eminemchick 19
yes. because the intricate folds of paper display the distribution of air pressure really clearly. its REALLY worth paying 40 grand a month for learning from paper.xD
johnson94 5
if that is what gets you a degree, you may be mistaking college for the 1st grade though

Don't question the paper, it used to give you life, now it's being used in how to teach you how to make a paper airplane. I wish I could remember how to make one.

It wouldn't help in engineering. Also one "If you are an engineer" not "if your engineer." This would help in a physics class however. So maybe he's majoring in aerodynamics.

*aerospace engineering. Not aerodynamics. Oopsie Dasies.

idk what you do.... but I bet you coulnt plumb a house to save ur life.... and you can make alot of money being a plumber idc how easy it is to get the job... without plumbers your life would be alot harder.... and do u think the guy who invited indoor plumbing was a retard that didn't have college.. ur an idiot
TheJester12 15
maybe not being a total hard ass would also help . Learn to have fun every once in awhile :)

90, just because you don't want to be a plumber doesn't mean other people do. Doesn't make you any less of a person or unintelligent. I know plenty of smart people who just don't want to do university and would rather do practical work. Someone has to do those jobs and you shouldn't be so judgmental.

You can learn from making paper planes. At least you had a fun class.

#158 it's funny how you say it wasn't a mistake it was ignorance when you made a mistake twice. Like how you put ignorance instead of ignorant earlier and how you said "thunk" instead of think. You just made yourself look stupid. So I guess you are ignorant too right? Pathetic grammar Nazis. And you can blame your iPhone autocorrect all you want, but you should have double checked since you want to go around correcting people. Take a look at yourself before you start insulting people. -_-"

I'm not that desperate as some people are... Have you ever thought that maybe I just was in a hurry, read the fml, and clicked the wrong one?

you kinda need a college degree to work in the damn usa now..

I'm a plumber and make over $800,000 a year without a high school diploma or GED.... so saying that need a diploma to get a good paying job is a bunch of BS.
TheSnakeDoctor20 17
33 unless u work 24/7 with no sleep, wait still u can't make that much as a plumber unless ur charging ur customers waay to much
whippymcdumb4zs 0
actually it's not how much we charge it's who we charge.

hey that's an awesome business plan. I'm gonna quit school and become Bill Gates! Sorry, statistics show without a doubt that people who have college degrees earn more on average than people who graduated high school, who in turn earn more on average than people who dropped out of high school. Sure, you could quit school and try being an outlier, but chances are you're going to be a bum.
whippymcdumb4zs 0
not if you have a sure fire way of marketing a service, skill or item to people
xojessayox 4
well i know that everything i want to do i need a degree to get somewhat close to having a chance at it. ive applied to alot of places and even though ill have high recommendations and all that stuff they wont take me. here in wisconsin you need a degree to work at mcdonalds now or say like a subway.
jpaulson 1
Very few colleges are $40k a year. if you wanna be a plumber then don't go to college. if you want to be an engineer, lawyer, doctor go to college.
eatmyshortssss1 8
Those people are the exception to the rule. There are some people that are just natural sellers or just really innovative, and good for them. But not every dropout is gonna strike it rich just cause Bill Gates did.
bewbies 3
you need a degree to take orders? lol
MrSexyPants 14
It's all about scholarships
monkeysinatree 6
here, you can finish school at year 10 and go do a trade (such as plumbing). you don't need university to become successful at all and at the most, it only costs $8-9000 too

I disagree, have you seen how many collage grads are unemployed it's all about making something cool or shiny now -_-
lovely220 0
my tuition is 55K a year but in the end I'll have a better job thus paying me back (eventually) or that's my logic. plus people like zuckerburg are rare anomalies (notice that not everyone who didn't go to college isn't rich). and as for a "sure-fire" plan as an earlier commenter mentioned; it doesn't exist. the us economy is still recovering and there is large risk associated with practically everything. people with "sure-fire" plans find themselves s.o.l
monkeysinatree 6
Not everyone who does a trade is a bogan. We need them just as much as we need doctors and such
whippymcdumb4zs 0
if this is the recovery state of the economy. why is it that every week I see more and more closed businesses?
a_nutritionist 10
@203 needing them doesnt make them less of a bogan. its the type of people who end up doing the job shes referring to, not the affect of the job on the people. this is a generalisation of course, but id say 2/3 fit the stereotype. its unfortunate, but thats the way it is.
monkeysinatree 6
I know, just saying they aren't all bogans is all

I agree. Sounds like his class was granted a fun free day for once and OP is complaining as though he's completely wasting his money.
smurfsarwales 9
which OP is because he wants to learn
1215116a 14
But what's one free day of fun going to hurt? College is tough, they need breaks.
crymore007 11
what about his overexaggerating?
Norwegian_Wood 4
79- Sorry but as a college student, if you want a free day, skip class. If I'm paying for a class, I expect to be learning something. My Precalc class drove me nuts this last semester because the professor kept getting off topic for 30-45 minutes. The class was an hour and 50 minutes but that time, combined with how late -he- showed up, ads up. So, point being, I must respectfully disagree with you.
