Forever wondering when the economy is in a surplus or shortage.

Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever
bezinga.com

Economics has to be literally the worst subject ever. Seriously, you wouldn't think it would be that hard (oh, but it is). You start with some simple concepts learning who are the consumers and who are the producers. You know, the people who buy stuff and the people that sell it. Everything is going swell, you even understand surpluses and shortages. But then... there's math and equations and literally it all hits the fan.

You manage to pass your microeconomic class... oh but you have to know about macroeconomics. To tell you how relevant this class is to my business administration degree, my father who also has a business administration degree can only tell you that he learned about the bird's view and worm's view of the economy. If only my college professors made it that simple.


Somehow in macroeconomics I had to figure out what would happen if this producer produced this amount of money or who would have the comparative advantage (okay comparative advantage is easy) but that's not the point. Seriously, there's even MORE math and MORE equations I have to know. Honestly accounting is more pleasurable than both of these classes combined.

Now here I am, two years later sitting in an International Economics class. I thought it would be cool to get "international" thrown into my degree, so I have to take basically the same classes I've already taken, but just with the fancy international spin on it. To keep this very long story short: I am literally the only student in that class who isn't specializing in economics. You know the kind of people who are good at economics? Only the people that get a degree in economics. My teacher has even made comments on why I don't join in on discussion days. This is why:


This is literally all I know and why I hate economics. Oh, and if any of my professors read this, I'm sorry I love you but I hate econ <3. Much love, peace, and less econ.

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!
