I have this group paper on Noam Chomsky that I have to put together and edit. Thing is, FIVE people wrote different parts of it. That's FIVE different writing styles of varying degrees of proficiency. What pisses me off is how badly some people write. It just took me an hour to edit 5 pages of one of my partners who can't write worth SHIT. I might as well have re-written their entire part. People need to learn how to freakin write...

EDIT: Some of you may know about passive and active voice. University papers should always be written in active voice. If I have to edit 5 more pages of nothing but passive voice, I'm going to go insane...

I'm sure that works well for a good grade.

Me: Fuck off
Professor: Fuck your grade

Unless you're in an advanced program, group papers SUCK. I really don't know what the point was to have 5 people write one paper.

I sure as hell won't be working with people who can't express themselves properly, but hey, school is filled with crap everyone hates doing.

Biggest line of bullshit ever. If you're in college and still having problems with your social skills, you need to take a good look at your life.
