I am a reclusive curmudgeon...

college is not for me.

I hate this place, these people, these classes, this music
that blasts through the walls at all hours mixing into a
cacophonous blend of bland alternative rock, rap, and hip
hop, which almost starts to sound like an insane avant garde
soundscape, meant primarily to give the listener an anxiety
attack. But besides that, and my friends signing up for a
room without consulting me and leaving me to fend for
myself, and my roommates friends nagging me to smoke with
them or move out like they are doing right now,...it has
been decent.

'I don't want to "blaze" with you'

god damn it!

'I don't want to "blaze" with you'

ha ha!

poor scuppers. I'm like that too. I live in a house where
most people think I'm extremely weird, simply because I do
not really try to make contact with them.

right now they want me to play them some music I
like...because they've sufficiently widdled it down so much
that they've eliminated all feasible American pop icons,
giggling after they mention each one, as if they were
implying that I like, for example, "Brittany Spears."

I think I'll play ventolin

try playing them something you really like.

the whole "lets play something that they'll really
HATE!"-thing isn't much fun unless you're 14 years old.

then, if they don't like what you played them, say "fuck it"
and simply do not care. you at least tried.

I didn't play ventolin, pretty much because I came to that
very same conclusion...I played them one of my songs and
they wanted to get "blazed" to it

i can't believe this - this is like deja vu. if you're
anything like me, in a week or two everything will suddenly
start to go terribly wrong and it will all become a living
hell.

of course, they always do. they also read the files that
you'd never expect them to - the ones that have your deeply
embarassing failed attempts at writing, for instance.

scup_bucket, i empathize more than you can imagine.

in my experience:

1) it gets better after first year.
2) there are a lot of people around who feel the same way.
3) find out if you can default on your residence contract
4) if you can, move out of res after term 1 and into the
city/town.
5) identify where people with a personality might
congregate. i am averse to clubs, but if you feel lonely,
check out (a) your campus radio station, (b) your campus
film / cinema society, if you have one.

where do you go to college?

When I was at university we used to drink until we were
genderless and fuck off even the most tolerant of people
playing this. It was called fun, you might not
recognise it now, but it was fashionable in the 90s.

I totally sympathize with you. That's a big reason why I
don't want to go away for college, I'd probably have to be
more social and be stuck in situations I don't want to be
in, and I don't think I could deal with it. I have no
interest in that stuff. Do as Happy Cycling says, I'm sure
there's more people like you. You could deal with being
around a Scup-esque person, no?

I lived in on campus housing and it was fucking STUPID. I
never ever showed up for any kind of 'community meeting',
even with bribes of PIZZA. COLLEGE LOL. I must have pissed
off the Japanese guy who lived below me pretty badly because
he actually decided to come up and ask that I don't play my
music loud after 8pm.

I wholly recommend getting stinking drunk on cider, wine and
beer, playing this song very loudly and running on the spot
very fast.

Do people actually play their music really loudly on
campus'? Like, intrusively loud? I probably wouldn't do
that, for some reason I get embarrassed when people here
what I'm listening to. It's not a source or pride or shame,
I just... I dunno.

yes, people play their music intrusively loud. My friends
do too. I feel the same way as you though, I get
embarrassed when I play my music really loudly.

Dog_Belch, I'll do as you say and report back with my
findings.

any form of drinking and running would probably make me
vomit on the spot.

The first time I went to college, I didn't like my room mate
either. For instance he would leave clear plastic coke
bottles full of chewing tobacco spit.

My solution was to stay up all night outside of the dorm,
and then go to sleep whenever he left for classes. Of
course, I also 'blazed' along with a couple of other
psychedelics. Unfortunately, this means I slept through all
of my classes...! That's ok I didn't care about it really
anyway...

And while chaosmachine is right that crappy college is
better than crappy job, I was perfectly happy dropping out
of college after only 3 months into it and being homeless
for a 3-4 months, and then getting a crappy job and living
in an apt. It's what I needed at the time. And not I'm
back in school! and it's so much more fun. I found the
experience is infinity more enjoyable when you actually want
to learn what's being taught.

Moral of the story: There's always time for college, you
don't have to do it now.

Same here. First year of college is really stupid. Mainly
because everyone who just got to college thinks they can
keep acting like they dumbshit they were in highschool. So
when I quit school and realized that everyone still acts
like they are in highschool even when they work in a 40hr
week job, I realized it was time to go back to college and
get a job far away from all the idiots out there.

Dont worry scuppers, you'll get through it. But take
everyones advice: bad college > bad job

'students' are generally a bunch of pricks who don't know
how to live with other people and think they're at a fucking
holiday camp.
