reminds me of when I got top marks in the age 14 english exams in the school for just writing page & page of codshit on a shakespeare play.

What kind of ghetto Uni are you studying at? 65% MINIMUM was a weakling pass at UQ, when I was studying. Have the standards dropped in the last 5-6 years?
I thought NSW universities were supposed to be better

Yes pops, back in the day you walked 10miles through the snow in bare feet just to go to university with nothing but a righteous bundle of intellectual smugness to keep yourself warm and... hey you kids get off that lawn!

There's a lot more to learn (and bullshit about) now than in the 70s gramps.

Oh be quiet, you old crony. It's probably merely a matter of days, rather than years, until your old mind gives up and you start wandering the neighborhood half naked, and peeing on bus shelters/hipsters-sleeping-in-bus-shelters.
We've all seen this coming for a long time, Lilith.

Fuck off I graduated in 2005, after travelling for a few years. Hardly long ago, though, the standards just seem to keep dropping

I try not to walk around half naked, it makes entirely too many people happy for free.

Lol @ being stoked to pass with 60%. Jesus man.
Although I guess I can understand the excitement if you believed you failed. Last time I thought I bombed a test I ended up getting 74%, and I was still ashamed.

Ps = Degrees. My social, leadership and networking skills can take me far further than anyone with higher grades, as I've proven already since I left uni a couple of years ago. It's postgrad, so grades will largely mean nothing. It's about building a base for me to work on in marketing. I'm not applying for an internship.
I can understand the desire to have better grades, but I've got far bigger plans in life than sitting around with HDs which will ultimately get me nowhere.
