Moreover why do people waste their parents money studying for such a degree that won't be any use to them? Stab in the dark; so they don't end up writing sentences which express thoughts such as I'm studying economics and finance, and i think people who only take this degree are the smart ones. I'm...

Aber doesn't have 20000 students! It has about 7500.

Quoting Schizophreniccabbage from 23:48, 17th Sep 2008 People don't choose to have depression or schizophrenia, so how could someone think that someone would ever choose to be anorexia (or bulimic for that matter). I once chose to become schizophrenic. Or at any rate, I was of two minds about the i...

Demosthenes put stones in his mouth. You could try that. If it's important to you, you should expose yourself to situations where you'll be called upon to speak in public but where it doesn't really matter if you make a pigs breakfast of it (one of things Universities are for, so far as I can see). ...

Quoting tramp from 22:58, 17th Sep 2008 Am I alone in seeing this as an illness or are the majority in agreement with my mum?

It's not so much about showing off - a lot of people just take more of a pride in their appearance than others.

Quoting gealle from 06:31, 17th Sep 2008 I think the university should purchase two million hamsters and set them going in little electricity generating running wheels. Above all else, it'd make some smashing photos for the prospectus. The logistics of procuring hamster food (or replacement hamster...
