What is with all the papers that you have to write in college. The only class that you should have to write a paper in should be English. I have to write papers in my music class about concerts we are supposed to attend. In the paper we are supposed to use the terms that we learn in class and how it is related to the music selection. So pretty much I have to try to BS my way through two pages of crap. Same with my history class, but luckily I only have to try to BS my way through writing a page of crap.
Reading in college sucks. In my anthropology class the only reason why I read the chapters is because we have to do tests on them while we read. But I don't remember a damn thing from it anyway. My history class I used to read the chapters, but I stopped because none of it was registering and after I read just one paragraph I had no idea what I just read. So why waste my time reading it when I won't remember. I have so much other stuff to try to get done.
I don't even want to know what it will be like when I go to Illinois and get into graduate. When I go on to getting my doctorate I'm sure it's going to be even worse. To think I have to deal with eight more years of this stuff. I never even liked school in the first place.

I have to agree..i think that the only writing college students need to do should be in English. I think im in the same history class as you and im not at all to excited about that 7 page papaer we need to write about the book of our choice. I have not even started reading yet!
Welllll, I suppose I'll weigh in here. While many people think that writing is a product of what we are thinking, my philosophy is that our thinking is often a product of what we write. In other words, writing is a way to think through complex issues and arrive at ideas. It challenges us to higher levels of intellectual discovery. As for reading, I know difficult texts can be frustrating, but what would you rather have, an easy text that tells you nothing, or a difficult text that actually has a substance to it? Just my two cents... :-)
