Students...

L4 · 02-12-2003 01:22PM #1

Does anyone esle find Students extremely irritating? I have a short experience of student life and I know how these people think. They have some stupid assignment or homework to do and everyone has to hear about it. They have no concept of the real world and a little bit of reading and writing is the end of the world. And why have students got unique accents? It's not Dublin, nor Cultchie, it's a kind of a posh mix of them both. I can't understand these people. Their fashion sense has always been appauling, yet in recent years they like to think they are at the high of fashion with their denim jackets, 'styled hair do's' and rosy red cheeks. I hear them winge on the train ''oh did you hear, I only have a month off this Christmas, it's a farce and we have a 10 page essay to write by march, and they only told us in September'' It's almost funny. Do they have any concept of reality. I have only 4 days off at Christmas, 4. Most people I know have in and around the same. Yet you don't hear them bitch and groan. I say they make College like the Army. Everyone lives in a commune. Everyone is made run trough rain and sleet and fed on slops, that'll teach them.

ohh, you're in for it now, theres a lot of users here students, let the flaming begin..

ah no, but seriously, im a student myself, and its so true im ashamed:o
but a lot of what you said is utter generalisation......not all of us wear denim jackets ffs:rolleyes:

It sounds like you're describing some dirty stinking arts students, scum of the earth!
I'm an IT student, and I may have 3 weeks off for christmas, but guess what, I will be working 12 hour shifts for most of that to pay my way. I also work every weekend, so its not like i'm relaxing all year.

shove your whinging up your arse.

L4 · 02-12-2003 01:41PM

No not just Denim jackets I know. But the general fashion sense is muck. And I forgot, Students have a superiority complex.

ixoy · 02-12-2003 01:49PM

Well all that time off sounds like Arts students getting their crappy "reading weeks" do do their pantsy essays. It's certainly not IT students because they get much more work (and harder work too) and can't dress. And they certainly don't think they're superior!

Of course you could have bumped into the D4 BESS students. Daddy's going to give their precious a job afterwards, and fund their designer clothing meanwhile (this is, btw, from my mate who did BESS).

Not all students have superiority complexes. I never did. At the same time, they should all be shot now that I have to go and live in the real world and want to return to being a lazy bum like they all are

Well now..... somebody got out into the rain this morning.

You're obviously thinking of arts students. I guess you've never had four large projects to finish within a week while attempting to study for exams and trying to keep up with lectures.
For a student in an engineering or science degree the day starts around 9 or 10am and lectures finish sometime around 5. If you have any hope of being successful you then will go into the labs and work until about 8 or 9pm at night.
It's a little more strenuos than your usuall 9 to 5 job and the stress levels go way up when everything becomes due at the one time (which is around now btw)
You obviously didn't do too well in your short experience, threw it in and got a "Real" job.
Believe me, if your short experience means a few weeks (or even months) of first year than you havn't got a clue.

it sounds like to get the dart to work and have to listen to little blackrock fucks on their way in to trinity orts or whatever it is they do there. I'd get some headphones if I were you!!

DeadBankClerk · 02-12-2003 01:55PM

Haha i'm a student and I am super fashionable! In fact all of us in Trinners are. You probably just didn't get enough points for Tallagh IT.

Yea, sorta like the self rightious
:rolleyes:

As opposed to someone who works a nine to five and comes onto a bulletin board to bitch and moan just like the students because they are at a different stage in their lives, puhlease

Or you're just a blatant troll...

joseph brand · 02-12-2003 02:12PM

I was IN ITT(Tallaght) few years ago, studying Mech Eng.

Had good laughs in class, most of us in s**t clothes and no money, but no moaning, . . . that was saved for the 'Business' students.

Usually a class of 30 women(few beauties), and about 4 homosexual boy band heads!!!(Denim and tall standy uppy hair)

The students mentioned here are prob studying marketing 'strategies' and 'techniques' or some made up s**te like that.

Ye have to feel sorry for these Ronan Keating wannabes, . . such insufferable bores!!!

Diddy Kong · 02-12-2003 02:19PM

not every student is a lazy arts student with only 10 page assignments to there are someother people in the county in college actually doing somethin, sounds like you didnt actually go yourself, so you have no right to judge the students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oi ... I was a business student in Tallaght IT & I never wore Denim or had Standy Uppy Hair ... I do now though

But seriously, you have to go through the stress of college life [with all the beer & parties :rolleyes:

] to really understand it ... being in college all day, then working @ night & weekends, with every spare minute after that spent studying or prepping assignments, really takes it's toll

... but when it's all over, you get to b!tch about how easy students have it

Pepe LeFrits · 02-12-2003 02:39PM

You probably heard one bunch of students saying something like this and now you think it applies to us all. I wish I only had a 10 page essay to do with 6 months notice. Not that I'm complaining or whingeing :rolleyes: but I've a ton of work to do over Xmas, so much that I'll be spending half of my 3 weeks off doing projects. So it's not as easy as you say.
And I defend my fashion sense and my 'rosy cheeks'!!!

woosaysdan · 02-12-2003 02:58PM

all it is, is just typical sterotyping

Defo Art students... The source of students crying about stuff all the time stems from the fact that most have **** all money... Then ya look at some useless bums claiming the dole, your parents having to fork over a grand in admin fees and then you probably gotta work the weekends to get some money..

So back to your point. Last year in college I was there from 10am till 9pm from Monday to Tuesday everyday after Xmas for 5 months. On a Friday I was there between 9 am and 1 pm, then I was in work from 2pm till 10 pm. Then on Saturday I was worked a 8.5 hours and the same on Sunday. So make ur own mind up [/rant]

L4 · 02-12-2003 03:09PM

Jealous!! Not likely. I hated College, which lasted for about 6-7 months. Too many students, and I could feel myself changing into one. Not for me thx. Plus I'm not into working in a Super Mkt in the evenings. Too much self respect, that's my problem.
I was talking to an Arts student in the pub at the weekend. the get up of him was comical. Was wearing a suit with a white/grey t-shirt underneath. That was dressy up for him I'd say.

BlitzKrieg · 02-12-2003 03:43PM

I'm studying the longest course title but i got feck all work each week (i admit i havnt done too well so far)

the course: 20th Centuary European History, Politics and film studies.

i admit i dont complain i keep quiet and thank the lord.

In cambridge they hate the students that think they are god gift to beer drink too much and walk through residental areas singing at 4am (i've done it once)

L4 · 02-12-2003 03:54PM

Not me. My job's o.k. It's the train journey to and from the work that annoys me.
They clog up the trains with their stupid rugby jerseys and dirty cords.
I can only imagine the train going south of the City with all the D4 daddy's boys.
Horrid.
If there is anything worse than students on the train it's the women who think they have a God given right to have a seat. Words can't describe my contempt for them.

so if an old lady was on the train and was standing looking for a seat you would let her sit down in your seat?

gucci · 02-12-2003 04:32PM

jesus its great being a student,i mean i have the life of reily,worked like hell over the summer(had a grand total of 8days off!)
but its worth it,i mean i have another whole year off according to the thread starter!!well i have 28 hrs a week which means 3 days 9-6 and poo loads of projects etc.
but do you hear me moaning?? NO! im not goin to work for years,and thanks to the power of lidl beer i can afford to party my balls off!

Dave · 02-12-2003 04:40PM

What a cranky bastard. What age are you, 90? Next you'll start with the "Back in my day...."

You're probably a troll in fairness, with that post count.

I know I wouldn't. She should know to wait until the rush hour is over

L4 · 02-12-2003 04:47PM

If an elderly lady (over 60ish) was standing and struggling then I would give up my seat. If a pregnant woman didn't have a seat, then I would give up my seat. But when women, who are just as capablr of standing as I am, start whinging about a different time when a 'gentleman' would offer his seat to a lady, then I get annoyed. They hint the heart out to their friends who are usually in the same age bracket (35-45) and spot an old lady down the other side of the carraige and practically shout down your ear that 'young men just don't care any more'. And if these cretins were sitting down, which I've seen before, while a pregnant woman stood beside them they would do their upmost to avoid eyecontact.

L4 · 02-12-2003 04:51PM

Plus Dave, I'm not a 'troll'. And that's another thing about Students. Wanna be Americans a lot of them. Not all of them by the way, I didn't say all of them.
While in Ireland, pls speak like we do. A troll is an American terminology for a WUM.
Wind - Up - Merchant. Which I am not. I'm just telling you what I think.

Students...
