Todays Student!

Not entirely sure what this thread is about...but if you want my opinion on students of today, I will say that I find them quite annoying.

Arrogant little elitists that instantly assume their status as university student entitles them to some type of recognition/respect...most of them are extremely naive, and for the most part incredibly and hopelessly stupid...despite giving the impression that they are smart.

The worst attribute has to be the 'street' accents and slang used by mostly suburban white kids in clearly desperate and futile attempts to gain attention and respect from the minority crowd.

what i hate even more is elitists on internet messageboards

I agree with this post 🙂

Oh bugger, next week I have to start back at Uni. 🙁

It's only part time (day release), but it's still too much hassle. I can barely look at myself in the mirror...bloody student. 😠

But soon you will have responsibilities and a real job, enjoy it whilst you can. 🙂

Uncle Whirly is interested - he used to be a student himself and he likes students 😕 in particular the girls 😖hifty: So opinionated and yet so young and inexperienced 😄 a dynamite cocktail!

When I was a student................ my soon to be educated young friends, we had a well deserved reputation for drinking far to much, taking drugs, promiscuous sex, large overdrafts, buying halves of snakebite and black, reversing our underwear as to not wash it, talking pretentiously about our great life experience where this really meant we went inter-railing in our gap year. We worried about causes "real" adults were not interested in - because they had mortgages and real worries and the "lesser spotted pink flamingo" was low on there list of priorities. I'm interested are you students of today as much of a burden to society as I am proud to have been?

Mech DOES have a real job and responsibilities, so he's long past the point of such enjoyment.

🙂 thats good - then he understands bar the opinionated with little life experience bit being a student is about instant gratification due to deferred responsibilities.

Though I partied a lot in school, I still worked my ass off and got sh:t done. Delivering pizzas helped me survive once my parents cut me off financially. Then I figured out how to get student loans and started partying harder. God I hope my parents aren't reading this. But I always got my sh:t done.

Eeeeugh, I just got back from Uni and I feel dirty.

I think I'll scrub myself with a wire bursh and some dettol...

Unfortunately not... I've done all my studying whilst also working full time. If I mess up, I'll get my arse kicked at work.

The good thing is my employer pays for all my study; pays my wages whilst I'm there; and also covers my petrol expenses to and from Uni. In fact, in the last 2 years they've forked out about £6500 on courses for me. The only problem is, I have to work like a b!tch for it. 🙁

I worked my arse off as a student, but I also partied hard.

I had many friends who pissed it all away, unable to grasp the concept of the yin and the yang.

Hard working students deserve to party. They do exist. I was one of them. Those that don't and just piss it all away with booze and drugs frustrate me.

Work hard, play hard - that's my philosophy, but maybe that's because I'm a passionate, dedicated and quite intense guy.

I did my A levels in the evening whilst working full time and when I went to uni, I did door and bar work. I understand all to well my friend and I respect students like you. Sadly we are the minority.

Your totally right - I had one who blew his mind and ended up packing the scotch egg machine at Pork Farms in Nottingham, he was incredibly bright - What a waste.

Yeah, but free scotch eggs eh?
