    I am in 1st year of college, I don’t drink, and I am failing.

      Heavy drinking is considered irresponsible through your bachelor’s. After that it’s considered “networking” and “building professional relationships”. With the implicit usage as a coping mechanism

        Not just in academia. This is true for corporate life. There are happy hours left and right which are as much networking as they are excuses to have someone else buy you drinks

      If you’re not joking, reach out to your college’s academic support/tutoring centers. They’re literally paid to be there and help you with your classes. Even if you understand all the class content already they can still help you with whatever you’re struggling with, like figuring out how much time a project needs or how to get it started/organized.

      I struggled my first go ‘round in college 20 years ago and wish I’d known that, now that I’m going back I’ve been using the support systems the college has a lot more and it’s been paying off.

  • manxu@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Akshully I think it’s either “less beer” or “fewer beers” (plural).

    • Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      To build on this, this usage is called a non-count noun. Less beer, less water, less air, less sand, etc. all refer to non-countable quantities of some substance. Beer could be counted, if referred to by some metric (“one glass of beer,” “24 ounces of beer”), same as “a bottle of water,” “one tank of air,” “a truckload of sand.”

      Which is all to say that you’re right. “Less beer” makes far more sense than “fewer beer.”

  There are three types of academics, ones that are addicted to alcohol, ones that are addicted to caffeine, and ones that are addicted to both.

  (For health reasons I dont reccomend both at the same time)

    I’ll never forget my proffessor that just slammed monster and chain smoked cigarettes during fieldwork.

    I only saw him drink water once. It was about 115 (Fahrenheit) and he took a single sip of water from a nalgene before putting it away.

  It’s a way to dull the senses to how retarded everyone around and especially above you is, maybe…until you need your plumbing fixed 😅
