          I feel like most girls consider studying an attractive quality. It means you’re responsible, probably going to get a decent job, and probably either a goal-driven dreamer or a realistic down-to-earth person. Both good things for log term stability, with the possibility of adventures if you play your options right. I, for one, prefer a dude who studies.

      Yep — me, too. But like Dorothy, I always put up a good fight. Less guilt if you stay at your desk (where you theoretically could work), while wishing you were out having fun!

        And let it be noted that, if Dorothy were Amber, she could be sitting at her desk (theoretically able to work) *and* having fun (playing video games — or . . . reading webcomics, say), while wishing she was having other kinds of fun elsewhere.

        Not that I know anything about this sort of procrastination.

            Having an eccentric professor also helps make you pay attention. Basically, think how (old) Daffy Duck would be if he were giving a lecture on relative physics and acting really enthusiastic about the subject.

      Ah yes, the challenging nipple maneuver, where a partner is held completely horizontal on top the others head with their abs as the centrepoint. It called the Nipple Maneuver because all you end up seeing is your partners nipples, hanging down in front of your face.

      Worse. Hear that, bookhat? You’re bad and you should feel bad! Hmmph, that’ll learn ya for tryin’ to teach me.
      Boobhat teaches the most important lesson: Everybody likes boobs.

    Panels 3, 4, and 5 relate to me as follows:
    Freshmen Year
    Sophomore Year
    Junior Year

    Senior year is not illustrated. It would be a picture of Dorothy fast asleep in a puddle of her own drool surrounded by empty pizza boxes and holding a playstation controller.

    Fun factoid, you retain more information if you get your work done right away instead of waiting, so all her work on the weekend that she is forcing herself to do isn’t as effective as the work she is doing during the week.

    So if she lets herself enjoy some fun Friday evening through Sunday afternoon she isn’t hurting herself she is actually helping!

    Bad move, Walky. Dorothy was in need of a scapegoat, and instead you just went along as if you could live just fine without her. Three nights in a row already.

    Somebody better lend him the handbook on women.

    I never did very well on tests. I think I always knew that plugging in the information needed to beat the test wouldn’t teach me anything – you know about how kids forget everything they needed to know for a test after they take the test – and my goal in school was to learn stuff. Thus I had no motivation to study.

    It was pretty interesting in I think 11th grade when I had to talk to my teachers about it. Between that and my barely turning in any homework, they said, they had no way to judge how well I was doing, and did I have any ideas about how I’d prefer to have my knowledge measured?

    I did not. I didn’t think it mattered then. I’ve never had any use for my grades yet, so maybe I was right.

    The message here is: Be cool, stay in school! Don’t take it home with you.

    Aaaaaaand this is why Student Night at the local disco in my university town was MONDAY night. No-one but the most sadistic tutors set any assignments on Monday. But a lot of them were due in midday monday…

    Slog through the weekend finishing them off, hand them in at 11.55am, bleary eyed after an all nighter, attempt to sit through one lecture, doze off, cut the rest in order to nap… oh look it’s 7pm, what’s the plan for the rest of the evening? More study? Hahahahahahaha…. no.

    Make something cheap and disgusting to eat, wolf it down, shower, change of clothes, and stroll off to join the queue to get hammered* and dance out all the stress and accumulated ickiness.

    * Note: hammerage may be dependent on locale. Americans, I pity you and your quaint need to card anyone under 21. You don’t have to hit the bottle like Ruth and Billie, but college is a lot easier to get through when you can occasionally go out and forcibly erase your mind for a few precious hours.
