Electives Are Stupid. Period.

So what is the deal with the nonsense electives? Each one is stupider then the next. The elective category “Impact Courses” sounds more like a huge load of craptastic horse manure. Do y’all even know why we have to take electives? It’s a mechanism used by the lord high mighty muckety-mucks to distract us from real work. This helps to ensure that the lord high muckety-mucks meet their quota of near-failures every year. It also helps lower averages, which is instrumental in ensuring the quality legacy of this institution.  The content of many of these elective courses (specifically the ones we are forced to take due to scheduling) is designed to take up as much time as possible while being as useless as possible, and forcing you to attend classes and tutorials to pass the course. To use a “concluding sentence” properly, as they taught it in STUPIDIY 101 (which counts towards your elective count!): It is thus clear that electives are stupid. Period.
