i can add some stuff that happened in my uni :D

during exam season all the libraries were chocked full, and someone printed out an official-looking notice saying 'DESIGNATED CRYING AREA (please be respectful of other students who are also using of this space)' and plastered it on the wall of the main bathroom.

i have watched the downfall of the human psyche in the course's discord server.

i've also seen new rules added to that discord server which are SO alarming ('do not use this server to facilitate the sale of narcotics' is my favourite).

a bunch of writers locked themselves in the basement of the library for an overnight write-athon but got bored at around 2 am and started hunting the shelves for books about witchcraft and sex magic.

i met this student during a gay bar crawl but it turned out his field of study was complimentary to mine. That night, we drunkenly staggered from one bar to another while we talked about using code to optimise data collection in hospitals, arrived at the next bar and drank ourselves stupid, left to go to the next place, then repeated all that until 2 am.

there's a beautiful park not far from one of the campus buildings, so students go there in their breaks to clear their minds. The park is overrun with geese which frequently attack any children who go near them.

chaotic academia things i witnessed with my own eyes👁️👁️

Bony, get the fuck up. We are revising your head and neck

🙌🏾 This is what I’m talking about!!

I've just made my new favourite meme

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there's an illusion that there's still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it's close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can't argue against this by the way.

i need to know every language immediately

So apparently there's this very well-known part of cryptography called 'Nonces'. As in a plural of Nonce. AKA 'number used only once'. They've came up constantly during my module. For those of you who don't know, nonce is the British slang word for pedophile.

And my poor, foreign cryptography lecturer doesn't know this.

yassifying physics with every lab report that i turn in

If you’re applying for office jobs and you’re lying about being proficient in Excel (which you always should bc nobody knows anything and google is free) a handy video to give you the basics on Excel’s functionality is Joel Sposky’s You Suck at Excel Video. It’s about an hour long and gives you enough background info to know what people are talking about when referring to Excel, and from there you can do your own further research. There are also handy little guides and notes people have taken on the presentation that go over the highlights here and here <3

If you can, please donate to the Internet archive, links in the description. The loss of the archive would be devastating for dozens of reasons.

does anyone even read captions or is this just me coming up with an excuse to not write one?
