My situation is exactly the same.
General Heinz wrote:Granted, I still have two years to go and I'm not in any danger of not graduating on time, but just from the standpoint of having no idea what to do about tomorrow morning's exam, I completely relate.
I hope you'll be able to finish on time.
General Heinz wrote:I think it's a pretty wide-spread problem though, at least in the US. Most college students I know, at least the ones that are just at university to drink for four years and for the promise of "ONE MILLION DOLLARS MORE OVER A LIFETIME" (baloney), virtually never study, take a bunch of adderall the night before the exam, study all night without sleeping, then pull like a 65% on it come 7am. I might procrastinate, but I don't think I have it that bad.
I'm not really the going out person myself, but there are many students like that in the Netherlands as well, although this has also led to the stereotype that all students waste their time drinking and clubbing.
General Heinz wrote:On another note, that fine sounds like horseshit. I'm pretty sure most college students in the US take five, six years to graduate (mostly for the aforementioned reasons).
The funny thing is the ministers and prime minister that created this law each took respectively 7 and 11 years to get their degrees for studies that should have took 5-6 years to finish.
And I recently heard that we now have a majority in favor or repealing the law, the only problem being that it won't happen until after the elections: 12th of septemeber, meaning 12 days after I will have payed the fine.
