One would think this pathetic diversionary tactic is just for delay of exams. However, I’d be willing to bet that in the back of their puny minds they are thinking “if we can get this, we can have them dispense with the exams altogether”

some things never change
I remember when 4 died at Kent State and to “assuage our anxiety” Penn State students were allowed to convert any course that term to “pass-fail”

So I took German 4 pass-fail and got a lot more party time

I think of this generation as the Harry Potter generation. At least twice final exams were canceled at Hogwarts because of stuff that happened during the spring semester.

“...and as a white, middle-class person, I have to privilege...”
Another self-loathing piece of trash. People like this have ruined this country.

What if they're disheartened because the wrong person won the Miss America contest?

The United States--the nation that produced the men (most of them less than 21 years old!) who stormed the beaches of Normandy, is now producing generation after generation of fools and scoundrels!

What else would you expect? Fools and scoundrels run U.S. universities, run Washington, produce Hollywood movies, and control television! Truth for its own sake is not even a consideration for these people!

It is the American people themselves who are at fault. They have tolerated this descent into decadence. It is they who have squandered the priceless heritage bequeathed them by the generations who went before, including the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy.

I tried to derive the meaning of the sentence:

“I have to privilege of being able to step away from these events....and put enough energy into schoolwork....

But quickly gave up.

Brilliant!

I’d like to know how the delayed finals will affect all the relatives who emptied their bank account to make hotel reservations and fly in for December graduations?

PRIVILEGED VICTIM WARNING: is more like it.

Statistics final...

This person is dealing with a Math Professor, who have very little sympathy for anyone NOT a Math Professor! Some of my best memories from college was hearing some whiny student ask for or expect some additional consideration and then listening to the Prof explain the facts of life to them.

One of my all time favorites was accusing them of being, or encouraging them to change their major to Hotel/Motel/ Restaurant Management!
