Hi Fellow 7-Sagers,

I'm a non-trad student who took a very relaxed view on my first couple of years of college . Little did I know, I would be studying for the LSAT almost 20 years later. But, I'm sure there are some of you didn't really do well your first year or so of college. So, for fun I'm starting a thread of alternate explanations of why some grades, as I like to say, are "uncomfortable." Here's a few to start. Please add more.

  • It was the Clinton presidency. We were knee deep in AOL CD's and hope.
  • All of my classes were 8:00 am classes. Just six 8:00 am classes. We live in a quantum universe. Time is flat circle.
  • FERRETS
  • I kept getting held hostage by a hackysack circle.
  • Beer and chics, bro, beer and chicks.
  • My professor sucked.
  • I sucked.
  • I was paid to keep the curve low (gotta pay for Birkenstocks somehow!)
  • Please add.

      I'm from Arizona, went to school out of state, and couldn't figure out why I was always an hour late to class starting roughly halfway through the semester

      Alternate approach. Write a diversity statement to Yale saying they have too many motivated geniuses and need some alcoholics with double digit IQs.

      World of Warcraft.

      I'm still stuck in WoW hell.

      I’d be lying if I said that me and my undead warlock didn’t have a mad crush on her...

      Who in their right mind doesn't? She's a powerful Warchief now!

      Haha yeah I played for a couple of months during Legion. It was actually fun. I had to quit or my LSAT score would still be in the 150’s instead of 160’s O_o

      Legion has been a great expansion! I suggest picking it up again if you're done with the LSAT. :P

      I may not be done, but I’m most certainly on a break...hmm might log in tonight haha you are a bad influence!

      Grade inflation! Back when I went to school, we didn't even have a 4.0 as an option. They only graded out of 3.5

      There was only one computer in the whole school. I had to wait my turn, and so my papers were late.

      For my Women's Studies class I decided to do an experiment when I went through a quarter pretending I was "Math is Hard" Barbie, but unfortunately that was the term when I had to take calculus.

      --

      My C&F (I had an open container citation that turned into a warrant due to nonpayment and when in doubt, disclose) definitely includes the sentence "I was young, dumb, and broke, and decided if I didn't pay it it would go away. I was, unsurprisingly, wrong." If I don't get in because of that, well, I probably wouldn't have done well at that school anyways.

      (woah somehow this got in a really big font and I don't how to make it stop!)

      I graduated a long time ago, and they committed an error while transcribing my GPA from the wall of the cave. Plus, there is no accurate conversion rate from mammoth tusks to grade points. I have a letter confirming this from the registrar. It's written in petroglyphs.

      Thank you very much. I'm here all week, folks. Try the veal.

      After undergrad I was heading to a grad program to do research. So my senior year was not at all GPA focused. Even my advisor would say: "no one cares about grades, just get the publications." Lo and behold...

      I thought I would never go to school again after undergrad... So why should grades matter?

      Lol I think Blizzard alone has caused many a GPA to fall. The sad thing is, I wasn't joking. Right after high school I was pressured to start college. I didn't give a crap and would bring my laptop to class and play WoW. I'd ditch class and play WoW. Now my GPA is total crap haha

      Big DOTA fan! Do you still play DOTA 2 at all?

      Not in almost 4 months. Other games have occupied my time and the LSAT. I just have too many games from Steam Summer or Winter sales that I need to work through instead of DOTA.

      In high school, I took a couple of classes at my local CC as part of a bridge program. I had just got my license, first car, and first girlfriend... So, sometimes instead of going to class, I would totally skip and drive around and go to the mall with said girlfriend.

      Also, it was the Obama presidency and things were crazy!! :blush:
