21-year-old college student sabotage's terrible roommate's chances at getting into her sister's sorority: 'She’ll never ever be in that particular chapter'

21-year-old college student sabotages terrible roommate's chances at getting into her sister's sorority: 'She’ll never ever be in that particular chapter'

For those of you who know, rushing sororities and fraternities is a pressure cooker of an experience. It's also not one of those challenging processes in life that brings out the best in people. As someone who never acquiesced and succumbed to the Greek Life experience but observed many peers go through it, I can say with confidence that rushing can feel as high stakes as applying to college. So why would someone willingly put themselves in that situation? Well, socialization and social hierarc…

Taylor swift concerts dating Relationships Relationship Girlfriend teens teenagers university college aita boyfriend dating fails Dating-Relationships

18-year-old concert ticket "scalper" refuses to give or sell Taylor Swift concert tickets to his 19-year old girlfriend, choosing instead to sell them for double what he paid: 'She ended in tears when I told her I wanted to sell the remaining two tickets'

It remains a fact that if you actually cared for the person you were dating and held in your hand the chance to do something that would make them immeasurably happy—and you'd be a certain kind of evil for not doing it at the chance to pursue an unethical profit, especially when the way you're choosing to make that profit is derided by the masses. Ticket scalping is just one of those things that offer no value, allowing the entitled and uncaring a way to turn a profit and personal gain off a ter…

College student proves professor wasn't reading their weekly essays, continues getting the same grade with minimal effort: '[I] wrote half a sentence then typed some gibberish'

College student proves professor wasn't reading their weekly essays, continues getting the same grade with minimal effort: '[I] wrote half a sentence then typed some gibberish'

Has anyone else had the sneaking suspicion that their professor was doing the bare minimum when it came to grading essays? Of course, if students are encouraged to try hard, shouldn't their teachers lead by example? In an ideal world, yes… but this is far from an ideal world. Here, we have a college student who was assigned short weekly papers that ultimately amounted to just 10% of the grade (each paper was 1% and was graded out of 10). After the first six weeks of the course, the student was…

‘I don’t make the rules, I just follow them': College students share clever methods to get out of paying unjustified parking tickets

Being a college student already puts you at a difficult starting point when it comes to your financial state. There is simply so much one has to pay for in college, and physically being in school also means you can't really work to pay for everything college demands. One of the most infuriating things colleges usually take money for is parking. Apparently, the tuition is not enough to secure a place to park on campus, so colleges resort to asking even more money for parking passes or permits. T…

Is this generation really the worst? In a now-viral story, a professor shared that while he usually tries to keep an open mind with his students as they're young and have limited life experience—but one particular conversation left him convinced that today's generation has officially hit a new low.
