College
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
“Your mom goes to college.â€
~ Oscar Wilde on college
A college is a moderately priced daycare that provides entertainment for people between the ages of 18 and 22. Disenfranchised young people go to get drunk, get down with it, and spend thousands of dollars on a degree that wont be relevant to their job just so they can be "well rounded".

[edit] Origins
While the word college was originally coined as a term for a division of a large Paleolithic university (e.g. "Oxford University College of Leech Therapy"), the term was later used to refer to the post-adolescent stage of human development (generally between the ages of 18 and 22) during which young students are helplessly driven to fornicate, consume large amounts of alcohol from beer bongs, and pretend they know everything. College is in modern times considered a coming-of-age ritual, much like toilet training or killing a hooker.
Interestingly, part of this coming-of-age ritual involves the separation of society into eight groups.
The most successful group achieves an almost shamanistic ability to see through the hazing ritual of receiving one's grades; they understand that it is in fact much more important to spend time in the company of other college students and pursuing other things having nothing to do with the work that is assigned than to actually do the work. This is significant because it is contrary to explicit instructions given, and the drop in grades that occurs as one does this is usually berated by professors, parents, and others.
The least successful group does not attain this ability. They persist believing in the benificence and honesty of those overseeing and directing their experience. The least successful of the least successful are given consolation prizes at graduation, often in the forms of medals, fancy Latin titles, letters from the very beginning of the alphabet (mostly "A" or occasionally "B") or encouragement to attend graduate school as a remedial measure. This is, in fact, the final illusion of the college experience for the least successful; the moment they get out the door they will long for the creative, personally authentic spirit they once possessed, but sacrificed to achieve the consolation prizes. A few recover; many do not.
The third group are those who follow the path of the least successful but, in a mutative change, manage to achieve financial success. They still, however, find that their amputated spirits give them trouble, in a condition known as phantom personality pain.
College is considered by many to be a magical part of their lives. This is perhaps facilitated by the weak memories of older generations, whose recollections of their college years is mostly lost in a haze of pot smoke, Jack Daniels, and magic mushrooms. Thus, reliable accounts of college are difficult to obtain, and the matured students themselves offer contradicting accounts.
College is also known as a guaranteed one-way ticket to personal and financial success in later life. Research has shown that a matriculated student with a baccalaureate degree may spend as little as two years in therapy to stop crying uncontrollably on a daily basis. Also, students with a graduate school education have been known to accrue under $15000 in debt while looking desperately for a meager shipping job, and to get by with their parents supplying as little as 20% of their postgraduate expenses once finally employed. Clearly, higher education has blessed the planet with tremendous prosperity and happiness.
[edit] What People Tell Us About College
Of his college years, 38-year-old Phil Longsley of the International Vommunity Gollege offers the following account:
| Man, I'm telling you, that was some crazy shit back then. Everybody was fucking. I had like seven chicks blow me at the same time, while I snorted a line of coke off an eighth one's ass. God, that was great. Oh yeah, and I think your mom went there, too. |
Guy Harris most recently of New Zealand had this to say about College:
| College is a bloody fantastic place to fill in time between surfing, man. |
Your Mom, 51, of Kent State, relates a very different college experience:
| Amidst the twin banners of a burning flag and a burning bra--the symbols of our enslavement to the American ideals of violence and oppression--we violently oppressed the Man, tearing away his smiling facade, and revealing the power elite for the hate-mongerers they really were. They were all hypocrites, and we hated them for it. No more war! No more America! No more lingerie! We ushered in a new era in which this country would never again send its soldiers needlessly into war for unclear reasons, never again treat women as sex objects, never again try to justify crimes with patriotism, never again placate the masses with the politics of fear, never again try to sell us leopard-print panties, never again do anything bad, ever! |
Whereas Misty Carmine, 23, of Northern Kentuckistan Bible College, says:
| Oh, it was wonderful! The professors were really accessible, the people were all very fun to be with, and I learned a lot about my personal relationship with Jesus! Did you know that he was a carpenter, and he made fishes and loaves come out of nowhere? How cool is that! It makes me want to squeal a girly squeal! Eep! |
Dick Studman, 20, the starting quarterback for Southern North Dakota University of Florida, says:
| Huh? What classes am I taking? Ummm...Fishing? |
[edit] What's Actually True About College
College-age men and women (known collectively as professors) tend to gather in social cliques called schools, in order to copulate with maximum efficiency. This efficiency manifests in three key aspects:
1. Proximity. Demographics show that there is a statistical trend toward even distribution of ages throughout a geographical area. This is to say that without external forces operating on a given environment, in any given area there will be a static proportion of hot college students, and wrinkly old grandmas. Thus, by gravitating college-age students toward a central school, they can more easily locate one another and successfully engage in coitus.
2. Liberty. Students living in a central area can get away from the authoritarian mandates of their parents, who generally impede upon sexual prowess. For example, using the pickup line "I live in my mother's basement," is a significant impediment to success in sexual negotiations.
3. The Keynesian Magnification Principle. The Keynesian Magnification Principle essentially states that the larger the group of horny individuals, the hornier each individual becomes. This means that at a large college, libido levels are astronomically high, and large, and hard, and...mmmmmmmmm. Can you pass me that kleenex please?
4. Knowledge storage. Colleges are storehouses of knowledge, this is clear because bright eyed individuals enter thinking they know everything and leave, broken, knowing they know nothing. The knowledge is sucked from students though a device known as a book. This is the reason students are forced to spend so much time around them. Smart students protect their knowledge though the use of arcane objects such as the gravity bong and beer bong and rituals known as the toga party and the Rambo shot.
[edit] Proper College Etiquette
While staying in a dorm, show consideration for your neighbors. Some may be so depressed that they stare at various books for hours on end, in a vain attempt to end their own lives through information overload. Help these poor souls by sharing your music with them. Your neighbors will be thrilled to hear the gentle melodies of loud rap music at 2 a.m. And don't forget about exercise. Inventive pasttimes such as playing football in the hallway are great ways engender to admiration in your peers.
If you have a roommate, do your best to have sex anywhere between 3 or 5 A.M. so as to make sure your roommate doesn't go to sleep too early. Also, try to do it on the top bunk of a bunk bed so that the love juices can flow down onto your roommate's bed. He'll thank you for it later after he eats it because you'll have saved him from spending another meal at the dining hall.
Finally, don't just play Halo Halo 2 Super Smash Bros. Melee Super Smash Bros Brawl Halo 3. Play Halo Halo 2 Super Smash Bros. Melee Super Smash Bros Brawl Halo 3 so loudly that everyone in a 5-mile radius will be aware of your pwnage.
Do not, on any account, ever learn anything at all that might be relevant or helpful to your life in the real world. Do, however, ignore all viewpoints you do not immediately recognize or agree with. You must also do drugs, drink (see above), and encourage your campus' bloated bureaucratic administration by becoming a "Resident Advisor" or by joining a form of student government.
[edit] Some Colleges You Might Have Heard About
Middle Tennessee State University, Central Missouri Community College and sister school Ohio Valley Junior College are considered by Time Magazine to be the three most prestigious colleges in North America. Indeed, tenured positions at either institution are so competitive that a snubbed would-be professor once remarked: "Damn, who do you have to blow to get a job here?" (The answer, by the way, is Terry Michaels, Dean of Sociology, and Mike Pearson, Assistant Admissions Officer, respectively. Alternatively, you could blow the man and get whatever you want.)
Less prestigious colleges are collectively referred to as Ivy League schools, named for the ivy plant (ivyus plantus) widely considered a weed and waste of life by scholars and botanists alike, much like students at these low-ranking institutions. Ivy League schools are also known as "McBlowniversities" because so many of their graduates end up with low-paying jobs at fast food restaurants or working as transvestite hookers.
Various "Institutes of Technology" also exist: the Manitoba Institute of Technology (MIT) offers 1 - 3 year programmes in such promising fields as animal husbandry, agricultural design, and ice-road maintenance. Other "Institutes of Technology", such as the California Institute of Pyrotechnology (Caltech), offer nothing at all in terms of useful skill and exist only to keep certain segments of the population (such as "geeks", "hackers", and "geeky hackers") sufficiently well distracted that they can be safely ignored.
Occasionally a state decides it is wealthy enough to create its own pseudo-colleges, and ends up establishing eyesores like St. Cloud State University of St. Cloud, Minnesota. Named after the popular and studious Saint Cloud of Minnesota in the late 50's, SCSU creates an atmosphere of homophobia and antisemitism in a state that definitely needs more of the same. Lamenting eternally on their choice of location - central Minnesota - they attract the unsuspecting into the wasteland that is state education institutions (which are a bad idea due to the fact that states cannot actually afford these universities)... except Texas.
