This is a bit random, and frankly my professors are considerably improved this year, but it feels REALLY GOOD to repost this in the middle of a homework crunch that I shouldn't even be in at all if the American education process wasn't run by people with genetic traits similar to Jagex.

Being endowed with a comparatively moderate level of basic intelligence, on the first day of class you realize that you are evidently a complete idiot entirely unprepared for college-grade work. To compensate, you spend the entire evening and most of the night studying, a practice you repeat for much of the first week.
After the first week, you begin to realize that you actually are smart; the retards are the professors who insist on teaching the most basic concepts in the most ambiguous and irrationally contradictory means known to mankind as discovered through several thousand years of trial and error.
You get seriously PO'd that you are actually being charged for this bullshit.
In a prolonged fit of insanity, otherwise called a semester, you proceed to sacrifice everything you have to beat the professors at their own game. In consequence, your grade average soars and your social life dies all alone and abandoned in your bedroom closet. Also, being the kind of person you are, you also decide that you are definitely not going to go into debt for this crap, so you begin working part-time jobs to pay tuition.
Rarely, you meet a professor who is actually a decently intelligent person. You immediately conscript them into your information network without their conscious knowledge. By this time your friends think you are dead and set up a small memorial outside your dorm room you now trip over every morning.
Due to your excessive academic prowess, you have developed an addiction to MMORPGs, most likely either Runescape, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Guildwars, or Everquest. You also watch anime and read manga, and are teaching yourself Japanese with the vague hope that they are a more intelligent race than the crackpots your stuck with in the USA. Because of this most people you meet on campus fondly refer to you as either a Wiseass or a Moron, titles you take to heart and wear with pride.
By ignoring your professors and doing all your own studying from scratch, you now know more about the subject than they do, and you can explain it much more eloquently. Subsequently, they stop calling on you during class because the irreconcilable consequence is that they always look like an idiot in comparison with your genius. This means you can stop pretending to pay attention during class and can now use the time for actual study. The other students are amazed by your academic ability and pay you homage by not bothering you with invitations to parties.
By the time finals come around you have achieved a higher level of existence. Your professors, all except for the rare competent ones, refuse to look you in the eye and are trying to bribe the registrars office to make sure you never ever take one of their classes ever again. They're out of luck though since you do all your own scheduling online.
Two weeks after finals you receive a letter from the dean's office of your respective major congratulating you on your perfect grade average. You celebrate by taking off from work and doing absolutely nothing involving academics. Your friends are amazed to see you alive, and are slightly creeped by your surreal demeanor.
By the time the next semester starts, your legendary status has passed through the grapevine of the faculty groups and all your new professors already know your name and what you look like, besides your entire medical history and anything else of relevance which could be obtained through the alumni. They try to beat you but you progress undaunted and slaughter their pathetic attempts to blunt your brilliance. Within a year your professors offer to pass you with a perfect grade as long as you never show up for class, and an entire study group has been constructed on campus with the soul purpose of making sure none of your genetic offspring is ever accepted as future students.

I was going to have to pay $375 for a one-credit typing class.

I just looked at the lady strangely and asked if there was a pretest available.

Lol I was talkin about high school. I never did ANY work but always ended up making my teachers give me B's or A's cuz I would come out at the end with some rediculously amazing project.

Examples:

English 12th grade: I had an F the entire course. I skipped like 4 papers and 2 big tets, I hated it. Last project of the year was a porfolio on a book of our choice, it had to be like 10 pages or so. I worked on it the entire last semester and came up with a 42 page masterpiece. The teacher gave me a B in the course.

Flash Animation 11th grade: This wasn't even a class until I came along. I suggested to my CAD teacher a computer gaming course, so we created this. I was the only student, as well as a teacher. My best game ended up being a Zelda-ish game where you create your own character and go on an adventure, collecting weapons and magic and such. Never did finish it, but I still got a free A. This netted me full admin rights across the computer network for my 12th year as well.

Computer Club(this isn't a class but oh well) 12th grade: We had a competition to design an RPG in the game making program RPG Maker 2003. Mine ended up being so long that it took 2 club meetings(45 minutes a piece) to fit the whole thing in. It was an actual playable RPG involving you getting out of prison, doing deeds around town, then going to other towns and eventually meeting the king of the whole place who sends you on an epic quest to save the world. You go through enemy territory and dungeons and volcanoes and snowy places and all sorts of stuff to pwn the zombie lord in the face and save some chick. It was epic, and I won $50 for it.
