I can relate to this girl because she reminds me of me at her age.

The sad thing is she is wasting time taking a bs class like this writing about Napoleon Dynamite Been there bought the t-shirt and understand. Our education system has become an overpriced joke.

That was cute. Yeah, UT is MASSIVE, poor girl. Well, at least now she’ll know better for next semester!

Good Lord...write an essay about a movie. How about physics, calculus, differential equations, heat transfer, thermodynamics, statics, organic chemistry. No sleep, no latitude for late work. You miss a single class and you are so far behind you will never catch up. What a weak pussycat baby. I can’t believe she wrote this crap. She isn’t mature enough for college.

Not going to the class for a month our first semester of college could do that to you.

I can’t relate to missing a month of coursework, even for something called World Cinema History.

Sounds like nightmares that I still have 30+ years later. Years ago my old man said “Get used to them - I still have them too!”

Final exam for post-graduate degree.

It was a *pass or fail* exam, which thinking about it now, still seems awfully unfair.

I recall that you could take any section of the entire exam; and any correct answers were to your credit; any wrong answers were not dilatory.

Day of the scheduled exam, and a hurricane hits. Radio says the exams will not be postponed. I mean, a real weather event. Vividly recall driving to the exam, with trees falling around me on the road. Good times.

Then the wait for days, for the letter to come in the mail. Pass or fail. Very succinct. Very unnerving.

I can’t relate to her because she is a total idiot.

After acquiring two blue books, she admits she hasn’t been to class in nearly a month and realized she was in the wrong test room.

Just why are we supposed to feel sorry for her?? Not prepared.

Hadn't attended class in a month.

The real world has very little sympathy for laziness or stupidity.

I bet her parents wouldn't be thrilled to know she'd missed this much class time.

I had it backwards - I always stayed up with the data throughout the days/weeks/months so all I had to do was brush up for finals: getting a 4.0 GPA ain’t that tough for folks that actually want an education....

I was ready to rip on this stupid girl until I remembered the time I showed up an hour late for an anatomy final. It was like a nightmare come true as I got there just as most students were leaving. I was paniced and went up and told the Professor what happened. He said missing the final was ordinarily an automatic zero but he had a half hour to spare and told me I could take the normally hour long exam during that time or fail. It was one of the hardest courses I had ever taken in college, but I took the test and somehow managed to pass. Thank you Professor Maderson.

If you’ve ever taken a college final, you can relate to this UTexas student’s struggle

No. I can't. I was paying my own way, and made damned sure I knew when and where every final was to be taken, and what I had to have for the final.

I took far more care than my psychology professor, who didn't even care to remember he had to give a final, and showed up 90 minutes late to the 3-hour test.

I'll bet you something. Some of the fuddy-diddies writing here to take this girl to task for her college educational choices are just DYING to tell us their hold-muh-beer-an'-watch-this stories, and, next week as their trying to imbibe as much alcohol-laced-egg nog without others catching on, they will--lighted-off gas explosions, and the works. And they'll finally reveal that THEY were the masked streaker who ran through the playing field of their televised football game.

And the attorneys will be the worst, I promise you.

You don't fool us, Mad Bros. You don't fool us.
