The dang 10 year old POS car won't start and I have test in fluid mechanics in an hour. Next months tuition bill has come and I don't have the money. I haven't eaten all day and its snowing.
By today's standards I should have jumped off a bridge.
You have enumerated the differences between a BS and BA. I have a deep seated suspicion that all these snowflakes are getting Journalism, Visual Arts and Education degrees.
I remember those days. Just before Christmas break, my car wouldn’t start. 5-10 inches of snow on the ground. The car needed a new ignition switch. I lit a charcoal fire next to me for warmth and proceeded to try to fix it. I couldn’t so then I moved on to learning how to hotwire the car. That took a couple hours.
Funny part was, my mom had arranged for me to drive the daughter of some friend of hers home for break.
She got all weird and huffy when I hotwired the car to start it.
Due to a dead battery in college, I push started my car for 2 months. I would try to park on an incline. I got so good at it that I could even start it in reverse!
