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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
