BF2S Forums Going to University, what should I expect out of my laptop?

Along with Philosophy and Int'l Relations, English is arguably the most difficult college major in the Humanities. This is largely due to the fact that being an English major encompasses the study of several other fields, including, but not limited to philosophy, psychology, history, sociology, law, and political science. English majors read and write far more than any other major, and offen suffer from severe caffeine addiction (or worse), insomnia, and manic depression.

Despite what lobotomized Business Majors believe, English majors (like many humanities majors) seek graduate school enrollment and end up with J.D.s, M.B.A.s, L.L.M.s, or Ph.D.s. Thus, they end up in lucrative careers with sexyass women. But best of all, they actually learn how to think and generally live rewarding lives because of that.

Yeah, but it's a course I have to take to get in to the business school and I definitely need to get an A in it, so there's my motivation for going.

My Tuesdays and Thursdays won't be as nice sadly. Starts at 11AM, goes until 3PMish with only 15 minute breaks between the three classes. And they're all on different parts of campus so I'll be getting some cardio in. And on Tuesday I have a 2.5 hour-long lecture from 4 to 6:30, although the teacher apparently rarely goes the whole length, lets us take stretch breaks, and lets us get dinner on those days where does go the whole block.

Fridays are 10AM (boo) but I finish by 2:15.

e: mandatory "fuck yeah business students"

in the Humanities.

oh..

the humanities/arts are the oldest and most snooty university departments.

science and math is difficult in its own right but doesn't really have the comprehensive humanist education factor. you're highly specialized by the time you leave college with a science/math degree, normally to an extent that you're most fitting for a certain job in industry. science and math degrees in the old days (before science and math were so far advanced in their respective fields) involved a lot of philosophy and stuff that would normally fall under 'eng lit'. most math/science graduates i know are dumb as shit when it comes to knowledge or awareness of anything outside the lab. that would really annoy me.

and what do you do, obi wan?

Electrical engineering and management.
I like to think I'm well rounded. I do know the kind of kids you're talking about though, that are thick through and through when it doesn't come to doing their homework.
