College-Bound Hypsters: Got Class?

[NJGooner]

I'm moving in for my freshman year on sep. 4th, and classes start the 6th. I have english, psychology, stats, and a 'first year seminar' which apparently is a softball class for the first semester.

classes start at RU september 5th. I'm probably moving back into my apartment the weekend before that for good. Taking 4 poly sci classes, and intro to french. Gonna be a pretty easy semester and I'm counting down the days till it starts. I absolutely love being at Rutgers.

I was highly encouraged to go to Rutgers by my family, but decided against it. Too close to my hometown, and you can't spit without hitting someone from my high school

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Mine start on Monday. I'm taking:

Organic Chemistry 1

Environmental Microbiology

Medical Microbiology

Readings in Biology (Two 10 page papers or one 20 page paper on any biological topic)

Philosophy (Violence & Non-Violence)

I'm looking forward to Med-Micro and my Philosophy classes the most. I'm dreading Organic as it's my 2nd time taking it

Acting, actually, and if you consider it to be that simple, you've obviously never done it.

Wow, you're so deep.

 

[The Storm]

Going into my second year at the University of Glamorgan and hoping my first year shapes up better than my first. Studying Film, TV & Radio but right now I can't remember which modules I signed on for.

Recently got my results passed except for a missed presentation and they failed me for a course I didn't do! I enjoyed the scriptwriting aspect and the film studies the best.

I'm a Freshman and I'm finishing up my first week of classes at Central Florida (the 7th largest school in the muthalovin' country last year).

Major? Cinema Studies (hopefully will get bumped up to the limited access Film program)

Currently taking:
Astronomy
Finite Math
History of Motion Pictures
Foundations of Story
General Sociology

I wish I could take something as broad as that, sadly the media courses are limited to.....well all kinds of media!

 

[The Evolutionist]

Wow, you're so deep.

There's simply nothing else that needs to be said.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I took a few acting classes and even at the high school level I could tell that it's not one of those "Anybody can do it" type things. I'd love to get back into it; just as a hobby though. I'm not suited for Hollywood.

 

[Leto Atrides]

Classes start on monday. I've got Greek Art and Archeology, Geology 101, and Latin 101, in addition to my Freshman Seminar, "Music in film".

I wish we could've done a cool Freshman Seminar, rather than just some random "don't procrastinate" bull****.

 

[KingOfDreams]

I'm in the first semester of my senior year and I started yesterday. My major is print journalism and my minor is creative writing. I'm taking a fiction writing class, a history of the mass media class, a sociology/statistics class and a computer science class. It's kind of a light load but I'd actually like to have a good gpa this semester and have time for a job and such.

I think it's something you're just born with. I mean sure, you can take classes, and you can show basic emotions, anybody can do that.

And acting can be, a very hard job, mentaly. Sometimes, you have to go to some very dark places, and you're never really allowed to let your wounds heal. It's good to keep your demons if you're an actor is what I'm trying to say, I guess.

Yeah man, you definitely got that right. Actors also have some Multiple Personality Disorder tucked up in their mind.

Yeah, Freshman Seminars are set up as pretty important. Us and the musical/opera seminar make up one group who live in one residence hall. All of them are essentially just more interesting than normal classes that are crossdisciplinary (by more interesting I mean we go on trips to DC/watch movies during lecture time).

It's really cool, but it's definitely going to spoil me compared to normal classes.

I am nearly a Senior starting my fourth year of college. My major is CHEM and I plan to attend medical school when I graduate next December or the following summer. I will have to start taking the hype patch to study more.

Dude, RU is ****ing awesome. I love it, but if you don't live on campus, it might suck ass.

chemistry? wow, I would NEVER do that, wayyyy too much work for me. Hats off to you.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I hope I never see another chemistry class again after this semester.

 

[AnimeJune]

Yeah, I hope I never see another chemistry class again after this semester.

*sigh* No science or math or phys ed for me. With an English major and a comparative literature minor, I have the easiest time...

...then I go to Librarian School. Which is FREAKIN' HARD. Two years can't pass slowly enough.

 

[Fenrir]

Just finished registering for classes in Accounting, Organizational Communication, Integrated Humanities and Technical Writing this semester.

I'm most looking forward to Accounting because I had already covered a lot of the basics and even some advanced levels in high school so I know I'm going to sleep through the class and still knock it out of the ballpark. The rest also sound interesting enough...well, except for Integrated Humanities. :

 

[Cmill216]

Accounting, Organizational Communication, Integrated Humanities and Technical Writing

Dang.

Boring, boring, boring, and more boring.

 

[The Squirrel]

Here in Canada, there are only two weeks left until the University fall semester starts, but I'm still pretty excited. Going into my third year, studying towards an English Major, I'm taking Creative Writing and Library studies and Comparative Literature, as well as (duh) English.

I love it - no homework other than reading the dozens of thick, juicy novels I've been assigned, and I'm already reading ahead. Whoo-hoo!

What classes are you taking this semester? Are you or are you not looking forward to them and why?

I'm starting my freshman year after taking a year off. Just taking English, Math, History and a Film Appreciation class this semester.

 

[Fenrir]

Dang.

Boring, boring, boring, and more boring.

Oh well, to each his own.

 

[Cmill216]

Oh well, to each his own.

I'm just saying. If I had that schedule, I'd go nuts (and not in a good way).

 

[Fenrir]

I'm just saying. If I had that schedule, I'd go nuts (and not in a good way).

Well to me, it's pretty good (save for Integrated Humanities ). Probably has something to do with the fact that I can easily breeze through most business classes and what's even more fun is when they give you interesting projects to research on.
