Exams are really boring and tiresome - I'm glad I no longer have to do them. I'm surprised I even managed to make it through uni, because I find academic environments to be really, really boring and in school, I would daydream most of the time, or just talk to people. Working for a living can be hard (it's easier if you enjoy your work), but I don't look back to school with nostalgia - I hated it. Thank god it's over.

If I could go back in time, I probably wouldn't bother going to uni at all.

I find it stressful and don't find it a good way of working out intelligence.

Always the same people are given rewards.. Thats what i've found anyway so no one else gets recognised.

You make it sound as if getting drunk is a bad thing...

It is a bad thing when you're supposed to be on the wagon on weekdays

A few mates were yesterday watching the HJK Helsinki - IFK Mariehamn football match, and some six weirdos who turned out to be English tourists came to stand next to them in the supporter section. The Englishmen shouted for the whole 90 minutes f*ckin' c*nt, f*ckin' w*nker and to the visitors' star player f*ckin' leprechaun, as he's of a small stature.

Simply love the English supporter culture.

Meh, getting drunk on Thursday night is quite usual for students, nothing to be ashamed of. Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've been really drunk. Was tipsy after the NYE, but nothing too severe. Last time it involved a loss of memory was at the 2011 Oktoberfest.

Yup I'll vote. Btw, at the local elections the far right (FN) got a little less than 8%. A Finland-esque coalition gathering the moderate right (UMP) + center (UDI) + green (EELV) + moderate left won.

Good luck with the coalition. From my experience it will lead to nothing but disaster. The Social Democrats changed their chairman today, and our Premier Minister will be gone in a few weeks, so we might actually get preliminary elections!

Who are you going to vote for? UDI? My vote goes to the National Coalition, who are sadly in the ECR group, but there are no good choices in the ALDE group.

BTW, the national TV interviews all candidates for 4 minutes and everyone has to answer a question on a foreign language of their own choosing.

This is just awful, both from the host and even more from the candidate: Eila Aarnos, Vas. | Meppigalleria | Tv | Areena | yle.fi


This went a bit better even if the words got stuck in his mouth: Junes Lokka, Muutos 2011 | Meppigalleria | Tv | Areena | yle.fi (skip to 3:20)

edit: Apparently that Junes = Youness might be part Moroccan or Pied Noir, so it might explain.
