3 thoughts I have in Logic

Why do these thoughts run through my head?

3 thoughts I have in Logic
Quotes gram

For anyone who is taking a Logic or Philosophy course, I'm sure you've had negative thoughts about the class at some point in time, whether it is every day or when the course first started. I'm going to share with you the three thoughts that pop into my head when I sit through my Logic course every Tuesday and Thursday.

1. There is absolutely no way that argument is valid. WHAT?! HOW IS THAT?!

We've all been there where we didn't understand how an argument was valid. For example the argument:

1. All men have beards.

2. Jennifer Lawerence is a man.


3. Therefore, Jennifer Lawerence has a beard.

Although you wouldn't think it would be valid, because first JLaw isn't a man and second she definitely doesn't have a beard, unfortunately, it is valid. It's valid because validity doesn't care if the premises are true or false or even if they make sense. Thank you validity for messing with my head👍🏻😒

2. Why don't the examples the teacher give, ever make sense?

At the beginning of my course, my teacher would always use weird examples to show us how logic works. For example one of his examples was:

1. If triangles are shapes, then birds are evil.

2. Birds are not evil.


3. Therefore, triangles are not shapes.

Now you mean to tell me that a bird's level of evilness is determined on whether or not a triangle is a shape? You're wrong, teacher. Sit down. I'm out.✌🏻️


3. PROOFS ARE IN LOGIC TOO?!

Let me paint you a story. While a sophomore in high school, I took geometry like I'm sure many others did. It was fine; then proofs came into it and the world crashed and burned. So imagine my surprise when my professor told me we would be doing proofs. I wanted to flip my desk.


These are just a couple of thoughts I have when I go to logic.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
