-My GPA this semester is going to fucking suck because of econ. Fuck. Fuck econ... It's the only class I ever got a B in. My teacher thought economics was the only class that mattered, so he graded us hard as hell.

I took AP Econ this year. Class is a joke mainly because the teacher can't teach. Econ is gay as hell though.

"The chick horse just came in second to a horse named "Big Brown," then broke both her ankles and had to be put down? Somewhere, Barack Obama has an idea. " Read this on Deadspin just now, and it's pretty funny. Still, Nova, try not to tell people too often that you wouldn't be affected if your pet died. I didn't say that, and the reason I'm not affected by animals dying is because I've NEVER had a pet myself. I'm sure if I did my feelings would be different. Like obviously I have sympathy for the owners, but I'm not really affected by it at all. fucking weird.

I didn't even need to take the fucking class. I took it as an elective. I should have taken geology, shit... Geology rules. I took it in High School to get out of taking Physics. Then in college, I had to take two science classes, so I took two Geology classes. Good stuff. I personally found it much easier than other sciences, and found it to be actually kinda interesting too, at least in comparison to Bio and Chem.

I hate Bio with a passion. Chem, not so much, but mainly because my teacher was fucking awesome and is one of my two favorite teachers ever.

Yeah, I have to take 2 terms of either Geology, Biology, or Chemistry also. Chemistry is a big no-no for me. So I'm either gonna take Biology or Geology. Prolly Geology cuz it seems easier, but I'm not sure yet.

Yeah, Chem was my worst science by far, I did OK in Bio, still not great though.
Geology is kinda cool too cuz you can go on field trips and stuff, rather than being stuck in a lab for hours.

Went with Poli Sci instead, which I liked, but practically speaking, doesn't do you much good unless you're going to Law School or want to be in politics. I wanted to do neither....... Smart choice of major by me

Field trip? In college? I don't think I've ever been outside of a classroom in any of my classes. Other than writing classes when we go into groups outside of the classroom and pretend to talk about what we read or write.

Everything made sense to me, but my teacher made tests hard and he was very difficult to work with. arg. I got an 86 in the class. I understood everything quite well, but in the final (which was like most our grade), he had us read four 3-5 paged essays, and then he'd choose one of those essays for the final and tell us to write a page about what the essay was about. That along with answering 60 multiple choice questions. What a bitch of a class...

Maine is a good place to see stuff, has mountains, rivers, coastline, etc. One trip sucked, we went to a beach in Maine in November......um, not fun, slightly chilly

I'm not looking forward to the AP Econ exam.
Our teacher taught us nothing all year.
Unless the entire test is on AD, AS, and fuckin Arthur Laffer, no way in hell I'm doing well on it.

I'm undecided and going to choose between Economics or some form of Poli Sci/Government (because I'm going to go to law school almost no doubt about it).

Smart choice of major by me Just curious, why would you choose economics? I'm undecided and going to choose between Economics or some form of Poli Sci/Government (because I'm going to go to law school almost no doubt about it). I had baseball teammates who were econ majors and they have ended up doing quite well with themselves, working in the financial industry. I think, at least from what I've seen, that the internships you might get with an Econ major can lead more directly to a job right after graduation, and lead to more lucrative jobs in general than say a political science intership, which in a lot of cases is basically stuff like working for an election campaign and harassing people with phone calls or stuffing envelopes That being said, I didn't do an internship during college, but I'm just basing it on experiences of people I know who had each major. In the end, college is really all what you make of it. And I didn't make much of it, though my grades were good, I just sort of coasted along and didn't really think big picture about what the plan was afterward. Part of it was that I was clinging to the pipedream of playing pro baseball, so my first couple years out of school, that was my main focus. Didn't get as far as I would've liked, obviously. But if you plan to go to Law School afterward, I can see the reason to major in Poli Sci. But I think you could get into a Law School with any number of different majors.

My dad minored in geology too, so I'm leaning towards taking my 2 terms in geology instead of biology.

I tried to get into Newhouse at Syracuse and they somehow fucking rejected me. Pretty crushing, but they have really high GPA standards. The rankings for communications are really weird--they don't really align at all with typical top school rankings. I also don't hear such great things about the major unless you're at a school like NYU, Cuse, UCLA or the like. It's something a lot of guys go to grad school for without focusing on it undergrad.
