what will you do if there is a power failure for more than one day and the battery in your computer drained fully and you have nothing to do other than sitting at home? I cannot even imagine such a situation. I don't know what I...

syzygy I would take out the candles and light a fire first so I have light. After wards I would maybe play a game or read a book. Since I'm a college student, I would probably study or do homework by candle light.

Do you want medical care from the 'cheapest in town'?

celticrogue @celticrogue (450) • United States 21 Dec 08

I was listening to Jeff Foxworthy tonight and he said something very interesting: He had seen a billboard claiming that an eye clinic had the cheapest LASIK surgery in town. He replied that if he was to go to a place that did eye...

syzygy I wouldn't go to the cheapest in town unless their credentials and work place were really good. I rarely go to the doctor because my health has been good (knock on wood). When I do or if I do, it's usually for something serious. I wouldn't want someone...

Which would you prefer? (Options about dying)

gohan2091 @gohan2091 (544) 21 Dec 08

Below are 3 options, and if it were possible, which would you choose? 1) Double the average life expectancy from say 70 to 140 and slow down the signs of aging by 50% 2) Die at the average life expectancy (just as you would...

1 response

syzygy Number one would be an interesting option because you'll have so much more in life to witness and experience. If you're slowing aging by 50%, then that means your body will be the same as a 70 year old at age 140. If I take care of myself, then this isn't a...

Imagine Life Without Challenges, Hindrances and Failure

syzygy In the beginning it would be fun, but soon it would grow old and boring. Even if the option was made available to me, I would never take it. This isn't much of a life to me. It's the challenges and failures that make life interesting and worth living.

A proper dress code should be there in a college or not??

tia_sweet @tia_sweet (154) • India 18 Dec 08

In my opinion ,a dress code can be defined as per the choices , it should not always be imposed on the students. A better way could be ...to allow some days when students can wear dress of their choice...What do you say??

syzygy I don't think there should be a dress code in college because we're all adults. I personally think people should dress appropriately, though.

A Class Where You Learned Absolutely Nothing

grumpybear @ShortyAkbar (384) • United States 18 Dec 08

Since I started college, I have had some of the worst teachers ever. With the exception of one of my math teachers, none of the teachers I had actually taught. They just talked about their personal lives or other unrelated topics...

syzygy There have been classes that were so easy that I didn't need to put in any effort. This in turn ended in me not learning anything because I already knew what the professor was lecturing about. I regret picking such easy arts/humanities/social science...

Ever have a required book written by the professor of that class?

murderistic @murderistic (2278) • United States 10 Dec 08

This has now happened to me twice! I think it is kind of funny, although, I don't understand why we shouldn't get a special discount on those books. Has this ever happened to you?

syzygy This happened in my English class. The professor had us buy his book and we didn't even read it in class or go over it. It only came up on the final exam. What's hilarious (or worse) is that the campus bookstore wouldn't buy it back! The book was ok...not...

Are Final Exams very stressful for you?

schwing_girl89 @schwing_girl89 (278) • United States 16 Dec 08

If you have ever taken a final exam, how stressful if at all, was it for you? I study a little differently, well not from most people or anyhing. But, I'm better at cramming knowledge before the test. One tip I have is that for...

5 responses

syzygy Finals are only stressful for me if I didn't study the material well enough beforehand. I don't like cramming because the information isn't going to stay. I won't learn anything and thus it's a waste of time. Having multiple finals on upper division math,...

Have you read somebody else's diary?

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 18 Dec 08

I know it's total invasion of privacy, but I admit of having read someone else's diary. And I really discovered a lot of the person's dirty secrets because she wrote all of them in detail. Afterwards, I just felt so guilty that I...
