college

In a whirlwind of family drama, this mom has had to deal with her son trying to sell her house and move to his college city so he can live rent free. Isn't there some kind of financial aid for this kind of thing? You know, instead of sabotaging your mom's life? Family drama can get pretty out there, like this woman who trained her cousin's horrible kids like dogs or this son who rented out his stepmom's house for giving away his PS4.

A bad roommate can make your home a living hell. When this student noticed their roommate was stealing their stuff, things got serious. This sort of strategy happens with food too, like this guy who ended up baking a cake full of habeneros. 

If you or someone you know is wandering through this wild world, namedropping fancy colleges left and right, then it's time to wake up and realize that you're not doing it right. Nope. In fact, you're likely leaving rooms with folks that are trash talking you behind your back. Nobody likes a bullish braggart. Being humble is where it's at. With that being said, consider giving this strategy a go if you ever find yourself in need of avoiding someone who is namedropping their fancy college.

We're not sure if you get any scholarships for claiming to be part lizard-person, but if anyone in the admissions office knows anything about DnD this person is screwed. Since it's this person's parents fault for perpetuating snake-descent, here are salty adults sharing the unjust lies they were told as kids.

Some of us grew up hearing from our high school teachers that college professors were going to be insufferably difficult. Some of us ended up with that being the case. Then others, others encountered professors with surreal levels of chill or just genuine detached boredom. Whether these email exchanges are real or not, they certainly paint quite the pretty, relaxed picture of what the higher education life can be like. I wonder if it's even more ridiculous nowadays with everyone being forced to complete their studies from home. 

This Tumblr thread shines light on the business of modeling for art classes. While it sounds like the pay can be decent, it can also end up being a true test of willpower when it comes to putting up with the cold. Turns out that sitting in studios or garages without any clothes on can be a tad bit chilly.

Having a noisy neighbor who keeps you from sleeping can feel like literal torture. After it kept getting worse, this dude took matters, and aux cords, into his own hands. Here's a similar story of a guy who got cunning revenge on his noisy neighbors.

College can be a time for self discovery, as well as realizing who you never want to live with or see again for the rest of your life. This particular roommate thought they could get out of a moving fee by having a feud with their roommate, and they ended up backing themselves into a corner. For another roommate revenge story, here are nurses who took revenge on their roommate.

Caffeine makes you more alert, and college students want to be more alert, so naturally they take the effects of caffeine to their  limits. For more stories about people doing stupid things, here are people's high risk low reward moments. For more junk from Tumblr's trunk, here are various Tumblr Gems to keep the day moving.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest lies that people heard about college. As it turns out, sometimes college isn't as tough and completely soul-grinding as it's made out to be. Or, on the flip side, folks share that it's not necessary to go to college to avoid finding oneself in an unwanted life situation. In fact, so many are out there crushing it with no college background. It ultimately comes down to what one wants to do. No telling what the final outcome will be. 

This power-tripping old school professor demanded all phone calls be taken publicly, so naturally, a cunning student took advantage of the situation. For school drama, here are times school presentations went off the rails as well as a teacher who lost half their class's papers and tried to fail them all.

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college. 

For whatever reason, almost every printing policy is stupid. Whether you work somewhere with one, or go to school, there's always some sort of wast-of-money plan that never seems to work out in your favor. There's even another dude who complied with his school's unfair printing fee by using every printer at once.

Leave it to the wonderful and creative minds of the Tumblr community to hatch up the next genius plot twist for the infamous Addams Family storyline. This clearly needs to be the basis for the next movie. Great stuff here. 

One of the more annoying parts of working hard at school is having to deal with people who don't take it seriously and just try to skate through without learning anything. The world has a lot of entitled morons that seem resistant to caring about the people around them. The fact that this person doesn't do their homework and just expects notes is frustrating enough. Maybe it's for the best that they probably won't end up as someone's doctor...

School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.
