Better use of his time.

It's his money, I guess.

When society tells you an art degree wont do you any good, but Ross makes you believe.

Read this as Autistic approach. Still made sense.
PleaseNotTheFace
5 years later: I have so many loans! Why can't I get a job?! My degree is worth something!
wc11
*snort* yeah! *snort* only stem degrees matter *snort* *masturbates furiously at my reflection while smugly grinning because I'm so smart*
PleaseNotTheFace
Assume much?
PleaseNotTheFace
I love how people downvote when point out the obvious problem of todays students and post grads. Unless that's an art class, /1
PleaseNotTheFace
our artistic friend isn't paying attention. Which means he's not learning. Which means he will suck at his job. Then complain about it.

This. I need to do this.

People tell me to do what makes me happy. Sleeping makes me happy. Should I just sleep forever?

Hey, I remember posting this my freshman year of college! I love seeing it come up a lot
itspabbs
I'll never understand why anyone would spend their time and money on college just to fuck off.
softestpants
I did fuck-all in my 1st year, overwhelmed w/ freedom & being surrounded by insta-friends. Took me a year longer to finish school. #worth it
NerdWife
Generally speaking I agree 100% but once in awhile you might need to just take a day off. He might normally pay attention but chillin today

I am a horrible auditory learner. If I have "noise" such as something to read/watch/hear in addition to the lecture I will remember it.
Czarmorte
So yeah, I'm often someone you will see doing this but I'm also getting straight A's and actually learning the material.
Conkerkid11
Might just be an elective class needed for a degree in another field.
itspabbs
But why wouldn't you try to get something out of it?
itspabbs
The fact that this has down votes just furthers my suspicion that kids are entitled and lazy.
JellyBean1982
Might also be a way to relax and focus. Have you all ever listened to Bob?
themedicalexaminer
Poly Sci + Bob = fucking napping coma. He would never make it out alive.
JellyBean1982
Well I would surely be napping lol. I was just hoping it was this dudes way of pulling focus.
themedicalexaminer
There's no way you can focus with that amount of slow calm speaking. He's a goner.

"Political science" ... how the hell does that work?
mousemarie94
It isn't real
mkfraiche
They should rename it, “alternative pre-law”. Or just, “pre-law”
whatbuttondoipushagain
You use statistical modeling to form/test hypotheses pertaining to political phenomena, e.g. political polarization, voting behavior etc.
AlphaBulblax
I took it in Sophomore year. I came out just as confused about politics as I was before.
Ghost0fDawn
It doesnt.
msquareed
Just add history and math together. Presto! Polysci nerd.
thaicats
It’s the study of the distribution of power. Economics is the study of the distribution of wealth. #science
JizzanZePuss
Analysis of voting behavior, analysis of likelihood of armed conflict, etc. Uses stats to analyze data to test hypotheses. hence science.
vauhtihirmu
It can also be the study of rhetorics, the dynamics of world politics, typical relationships between centers and edges of a polity, etc.
Bulletsandblueyes
Do you not have polysci where you are from? It's basically just what it says. The science of politics, why things are the way they are, etc
iLynux
I took polysci for the credit in college, and thought it was very interesting.
Davkro
What does it entail? Is it an American thing?
iLynux
It's probably an American thing. It was mostly about different political philosophies, their origins, and how they have impacted society.
vauhtihirmu
No, it's very active in Europe as well! But the emphasis can be somewhat different, since ofc the European thinkers are better known here(1)
thelovechildofhitlerandstalin
A sure fire way to piss off political science majors is to say their field of study isn't a science
SpecialContainmentProcedures
Nah. It's not a science. But you can basically learn everything I learned in four years with the book "The Dictator's Handbook."
Str8Grizleh
Reminds me if the time my sociology professor almost threw a stapler at me because I said anthropology does it better.
spattr
Attended graduation at UT for the science grads. Mostly nerds until "Textile Science" which consisted of willowy blondes in high heels.
ThisDique
Yah it's more like the art of ass kissing to get into a political office. But it's not thee only application.
vauhtihirmu
Political science has little to do with interpersonal politics.
GuardsmanMiku
my mate does a nautical engineering degree which calls itself ship science and neither of us understand why
tusig1243
Yeah it’s not science at all
tusig1243
My one friend was a graphic design major (very talented), but we always have him shit and asked how his “arts and crafts” were going.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
As a poli sci major: it's really not. Although some quantitative analysis is useful, the topic is too uncertain and complex to be effective.
vauhtihirmu
True. I think most poli sci majors only get irritated when someone thinks that =/=Science means it's not worth studying.
Wetwire
I took a class taught by a poli sci prof who explained it as the "science" of gallop polls. Which he claimed isn't a science at all.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
inform political leaders decisions, but politicians sometimes ignore them or try to change public opinion. Political science tries to 2/

What a bullshit degree.
happyishturtle
I'm a chem major and needed to take a political science course because it was a university requirement to take a seminar like that
aleister94
You know I've noticed it's mostly people with no degrees who say things like his
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Nah, I have degrees, and I kind of agree. Better than communications, though.
iLynux
It's probably just a class. I had to take it in college and it was a very interesting subject.
ShrubNinja
Kinda like how I had to take Anthropology, and I found out I really like it. It helped that the professor was really good.
glitterwank
Oh ok. Fair enough. As part of what course?
IGoByMeme
A major in political science
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
I took it as part of my general ed. I honestly really enjoyed it.
iLynux
It was just one of several options to satisfy the history credits. I studied computer science.
MVPHingleMcCringleBerry
So I understand it’s required as a history for you. But why? How is it even related? Like for me I study nursing. I had to take a 1/2
MVPHingleMcCringleBerry
Fine arts class which was required to start the program. We had to write a 1200 word paper over an art subject every week. That was bs
iLynux
It's called "gen ed"
