Things that make University fun!

1. Parking – those assholes gouge so deep.
   
   
2. Mature students – Some that I’ve met are really cool, but some are just cocks. You know the type, brings their palm pilot with the fold out keyboard to class, listens to their ipod during breaks or worse calls their spouse, questions the professor because they seem to think they have something to prove or because they’re actually OLDER than the professor. Don’t they realize they look like asses? Just sit and listen like the rest of us.
   
   
3. Prosti-tots – With the introduction of the double cohort, my campus looks like there are constant “tours for grade eights” going on. I miss the days when I could sit out on the Blueberry Hill patio and stare at *ahem* the student body. Now I’m lucky if I catch less than two pokemon backpacks.
   
   
4. 500 dollar course enrolment fee – Yes, I know it goes towards my tuition, but it’s still something I hate. 500 bucks so that they’ll hold my place in the courses that I’ve signed up for. What is that? Really?
   
   
5. Diploma – I was recently talking to a friend of mine that graduated. She was completely pissed that she had worked so hard for 4 years and all she got was a stupid piece of paper that said absolutely nothing about what she worked for. All it said was, “Faculty of Arts”. She said that it depends on some *stuff* (I really wasn’t paying attention), but mostly it’s a York thing that they don’t put specifically what you studied. I’ll probably just photoshop mine when I get it and have it say, “Super-dooper Smarty Pants”.
   
   
6. Letters from the Dean – I recently got a letter from the dean informing me that I have had an honoured conferred upon me. That honour was that I have achieved a 7.5 grade point average (so far), which places me in “distinguished company”. More specifically, “the top five or six percent of the student body.” Reading that, I thought, “Great, maybe they’ll give me something.” Read read read… Bottom of the letter… “Again, please accept my warmest congratulations on having achieved this distinction and my best wishes for your continued successes.”A nice warm handshakes. Great. Talk about giving someone the “low soft one”. Would’ve preferred a break in my tuition.
   
   
7. Rez students –They’re always so happy and stylish at the beginning of the year. Then they turn into cows come winter session.
   
   
8. Chatters – People who stop in the middle of door ways to have long, drawn out conversations with long lost buddies. Move it off to the side dicks.
   
   
9. Park-anywhere-parkers – I love it how people think that when they put their hazards on their cars are now enclosed in a magical, impenetrable force field.
   
   
10. Participation vultures – Everyone wants to be nice, even me sometimes. But sometimes people ask really stupid questions. I don’t mind the asking of a stupid question, but I will roll my eyes and think, “geez, that’s stupid” what I mind is when people drag out a stupid question, then continue in the same vein to pick at the carcass because they think they’re getting participation marks.

As you may or may not have noticed, I used "fun" in the title sarcastically.
