The RANT, RAVE, or RAMBLE THREAD

I've noticed many of you, my compatriates, are in those fun college/grad school years. I'm finishing up my college years and (hopefully) getting ready for grad school. My question to you all, and those who have dealt with this way in the past is, why don't papers write themselves? I have been sitting here procrastinating writing this damn paper and I'm thinking, why the hell won't this paper just complete itself, I mean it must know where it's going. lol. I'm loosing my mind; school is really starting to f with my head. After countless sleepless nights and gallons upon gallons of over-priced coffee, I am reaching the end of my tether with this venture called 'undergraduate degree.' One more freaking 15 page thesis paper and I am going to loose it. At least it's comforting taking my baby on the beltway and just ripping it.

Anyway, I forgot my point. I really don't think I had one anyway...

I guess this can be the random ramblings or rant thread, so FEEL FREE TO RANT, RAVE, OR RAMBLE.


Cheers. Sean

This semester has been crazy so far. I've been super busy with my classes. I've never had classes this hard, but somehow I'm still managing to make awesome grades and also finding some time on the side to party. Thankfully I don't have to write papers. Never could, never will. I do have tons of drawings and models to work on, but I'd much rather do that then punch numbers or wrtie papers. Next semester, however, should be a different story. Free time will be a thing of the past for me.

[hihi]

I soooo feel you on your rant manuel!!!!!! Except maybe the last one; I think my car looks hotter when a barely clothed woman is draped off of it.

Don't those party weekends make the work during the week even more painful? At least that's how it makes me feel. I miss easier semesters. Good luck to you skandalous. How I truly miss free time. (although one could argue that we even posting on this board is free time)

After going through college (I did not partake of the Greek life), I still don't understand why anyone subjects themselves to this kind of stuff.

Why is it that guys stay with girls who treat them like crap, are totally self-absorbed, inconsiderate and do not encourage their lives and guys still just eat it up........

Why do guys like girls who need them instead of wanting them??

Why do guys spend all this money on hunting and fishing when you can buy deer meat and fresh fish a whole lot cheaper?

Why do guys not bat an eye paying for sport season tickets but ooh and ahhh at the price of a new refrigerator that will be around for 15+ years?

Why do guys assume if you drive a BMW you must be too high maintenance?

Why do girls assume if you drive a BMW that someone must of helped you get it?

Why are guys intimidated if you make more money or the same amount of money?

Why does life have to be fair?

Why do people with yellow teeth not purchase white strips?



I've been traveling so this is all I can come up with on the spur? [scratch]

Thats only some guys.

Its fun to be needed. Being wanted is what highschool relationships are all about.

Same reason we work on our cars but could pay a prefectly physically abled person to do it.

Fridgerator Boring!! Unless it can dispense beer (err, i mean... soda....) at the push of a button, I am not interested.
Why do guys assume if you drive a BMW you must be too high maintenance?
Cant answer that one. I think its pretty hot that some of the girls here drive BMW's.
Why do girls assume if you drive a BMW that someone must of helped you get it?
Becuase, typically (its pure fact, not an opinion) the women who drive bmw's - especially those with almost no options (ie Xenon's, performance package, etc.) are bought for them to run chores. I don't agree with that, but I know it's what people think.
Why are guys intimidated if you make more money or the same amount of money?
Blame the Y chromosome.
Why does life have to be fair?
Huh?!?
Why do people with yellow teeth not purchase white strips?
Cant afford dentist = cant afford white strips
"Afraid of dentist" = Doesn't give a shit

Sorry for my BS post

Does anyone with a manuel trany ever just keep their car in its power band while driving?

For instance, if I'm getting on, I'll stay in no higher than 3rd gear at about 3500 rpms, then when I have a chance to merge, I'll hit the gas and just play with it. Sometimes, just to freak the hec out of my mom, I'll get the engine speed at 3500-3800rpms and jar the accelerator just to make the car jerk with power. lol. Do any of you all do that, or am I alone in my insanity?

this one is a little different. i need to be here, because it means free living during the summer. and i need to be here rather than homw because of summer flight hours, and i need a job this summer.

plus, there is 6 of my friends doing it with me, and all the current "members" are seniors. that means the freshman take over after this year...it'll be our house[kick]. its actually a pretty good deal. AND the dorms SUCK. [thumbd]

Yup I'll do the exact same thing. If someone is tailing me on the on ramp, I'll stay at about 3300 - 3500 rpm, and at the last second, just punch it. Bye bye [shake]

Haha... as of lately I do the same thing. People seem to underestimate what my car can do. I suppose it's the looks of it... [unsure]

Here is a rant

JUST received my f---ing LSAT Score for law school applications. Needless to say my score was not pleasing, nor anywhere near an apt judgment of my intelligence. I really hate how one freakin test can take 4 years of hard work and say it's meaningless. I guess I can only blame myself. Whatever...what a sh8tty weekend.

If anyone has any secrets on how to bring that score up, please enlighten me.


I feel like those bastards are [hah] at me.
