Does anyone here go to college?

[Spicy McHaggis]

To preface my advice here, I'm back in school myself for a last semester finishing a business degree as the history degree wasn't doing much on the job market. I'm an "older" student myself (25) and it can be a bit of an adjustment getting back into it and it's much easier said than done. So first of all, congrats on doing it.

The class seems to be straightforward and doable, but he's very picky about things being done a perfect, exact way. We didn't really even get to class stuff, just talked about the syllabus.

Philosophy is a cakewalk as long as you do the reading. If you read, then you can talk in class without making an ass of yourself. If you talk in class, your prof usually will love you.

Not a single person was in the mood for talking at all!

Here's my simple steps to meeting girls in class. Find a seat next to at least one girl you want to talk to. You probably have absolutely nothing in common with this girl, except that you're taking the same class. This is okay. It will be enough. Use the class material as an icebreaker, "Isn't this reading kinda bullshit?" or "I didn't really get the stuff about Kant, did you?" Then as the first test approaches suggest that you get together to get coffee and study. Gives you a chance to get to know her and opens the possibility of future non-school related hanging out.
