Quote from: Waterstone on October 21, 2015, 01:26I've got an idea to write about two childhood friends who go on a camping trip but realise they're completely different people but I've no idea how to make it sad and funny at the same time like, this is what you guys are supposed to be teaching me, how can I do it with literally 0 guidance other than "hurr durr sad but funny" I am paying you £9000 pls teach me

Office hours + not everyone's gonna give you specific instructions (especially with writing).  You're expected to try and fail and learn from failures, and many college professors tend to help your grade out from the failures.  But if you're confused you gotta talk to your prof or email them lol  If you can't make office hours then schedule an appointment.

They tend to cover everything in lecture but they can't do it in much detail because they expect you to completely learn it on your own.

You can't teach writing, music or drama in the same way you can teach maths, physics and languages. With maths, physics and languages it's absolute, there's only one way you can do things; It's either right or it's wrong (Unless you're writing a thesis of course)

With 'creative' subjects like writing, music and drama, if you 'teach' it, the lecturers will just receive all the same thing. It's all interpreted, which I think is great. You just keep going til you find something that works.

Plus, uni's more "Here's what you've got to do, no bugger off and do it" rather than having your hand held like in school. They'll give you the outlines, it's your job to do some research for yourself and colour it in.

 There are huge seagulls on campus and I really want to touch one because they look soft. I've always wanted to touch a pigeon too. They remind me of my dogs.

lets all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes

 I'll probably train them to fly me to lectures so that I can feel like House from Up.

You missed the ear of badman seagull. He was majestic,  but vanished after he got himself a girlfriend

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

 Who/what is/was the ear of badman seagull? :0

I was actually meant to be in lecture rn but I had to go in for a meeting at 1 and I didn't want to spend 4 hours loitering in uni when I have nothing to do, only to struggle to get out of the lecture hall on time because some lass needs to finish her Facebook chat before packing up her laptop lol

Like damn, if the lecture finishes at 6, I need to get to the bus stop asap otherwise I can't get home until about 8/9.
