Viral tweet of college exam experience gets attention of university president...Ann, you’re clearly cut out for UT!... Ann Mark is a freshman at the University of Texas in Austin, and she’s officially trending on Twitter after sharing her first college exam experience. Anyone who’s had final exams can probably relate to Mark’s hilarious retelling of her inexperience with college finals. Mark didn’t realize she needed a blue book to write an essay, or that her exam was in a different place than where her class usually is.

Denigrated professors for requiring Blue Book for essays was Clue #1.

Clue #2 was that she was taking a college-level class entitled ‘World Cinema History.’

Clue #3 was her not going to class for “like, a month.”

That she didn’t appreciate the irony of any of these indicated that she is CLUELESS.

I still occasionally have nightmares in which I find out the day before the final that I’m registered for a class I never went to. Very disturbing.

Me too! And I've been out for 14 years.

I am pleased to report that I no longer have that dream. I only had to be out of school for about 30 years or so.

I earned by BS in 1984 and I would have that same dream off and on for a couple of decades.

Really weird and disturbing.

That gave me chills. I had the same re-occurring nightmare for years after I graduated from College (not so much anymore). I'd wake up in a panic trying to remember where I had to go to take a test I never even bought a book for. LMAO! Horrible!!! The class was always some obscure engineering or math class.

I had no idea so many people had this same (or similar) dream. I am amazed.

We should start a support group.

So I guess they do blue books differently than they do at my college. Professors supply the blue books. Otherwise students could come in with a blue book with the essay already done.

Plus, I do agree with the others, on how clueless this woman is. She doesn’t even know the names of the buildings on campus? I would hate to read her b.s. filled essay. I get a few of those myself and they don’t get good grades. On one particularly egregious essay lately I actually wrote B.S. in my comments. Usually I just say “vague” or “inadequate.”

Sounds like she’s too stupid to be in college or anywhere without competent adult supervision.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has this nightmare years after college is over.

The dream thing ... me too. Been out of college for 30 years.

Cannot find my class - haven’t been to it all semester - cannot find my way back to my car - walking back and forth all over the campus.

I have nightmares like that as well.

They are caused by the time a pretty girl talked me into joining her in a Topology class.

I didn’t understand one word or one symbol.

Same here. Only I was a music major, so I have to sing an aria that I’ve never heard before.

I took a finance and law class this semester.

I stopped reading the chapters 2 weeks in. I A’ced the quizzes and BS’ed my way through the written assignments and still scored an A in Law and a B in Finance.

Those of us that have actually taken Physics finals can appreciate the terror in the heart of some BS cinema major finding themselves in that classroom.

She should make that into a Snowflake horror flick.

amiright!

My son is a senior aerospace engineering student. He had to take psychology this year. He and a buddy kept a record of their solitaire scores of the hundreds of games played during class. Both got A’s
