Senior year in high school lol. I don't want to move on to college but at the same time I do haha. Mixed feelings.

 

College is freedom. With freedom comes responsibility.

 

In high school, you are still basically told everything to do. When to take notes, when to go to class, when to eat lunch, etc... In college, everything you are in control of, and if you don't take responsibility you can destroy your semester without the professor even saying a word to you the entire time. They grade you and that's it, although most professors will take the time to help you if you reach out for it. In high school, it is a lot more structured and they will get at you from the get-go if you are cutting class, have poor grades, etc...

 

Personally, the college lifestyle is better, but the actual classes are a real bitch.

How exactly can NBA officials determine a backcourt violation or eight-second violation if the player bringing up the ball is running over the logo at center court, where there is no clear line to divide the two halves?

Whether the player has his/her foot over the center court line or not.

This is very true, and my first year of college was so amazing and new to me that I now realize I may have wasted an entire year by taking classes I didn't need just because I wanted more time to goof off rather than learn. I kept putting off difficult classes and now I have them all grouped together in the same semester.

Guy on Reddit proposes an awesome ending to The Simpsons:

 

The show begins with the family watching Itchy and Scratchy. They announce that the show is coming to an end and the entire family gasps in horror. They then announce that the last episode will be aired in a years time, and until then, a contest will be running; this contest will offer the winner the chance to write what will happen in the finale. The entire Simpson family applies.

 

Krusty is in charge of choosing the winner. He falls in love with one of the Simpson's idea and puts it in winners box. He makes a mistake though, he puts all five of their ideas in the box by accident. He goes on his show to announce the winner and pulls out five cards out of the box. Stumped, he reads all five names out, "Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie."

 

Flash forward a year later and Bart is in class describing his take on the Itchy and Scratchy finale to Milhouse, while showing us Itchy and Scratchy with Bart's voice-over. He finishes and the class is silent, Edna Krabappel is staring at him and says, "After-school detention." The scene then cuts to the power plant and Homer is describing his finale to Lenny and Carl. He finishes, a bell rings and he gets in a radiation suit. The scene cuts to a supermarket and Marge is describing her take to Helen Lovejoy, she finishes and strolls Maggie in the trolley to another aisle. Here, Maggie sees the unibrow baby and starts describing her take via waving and motioning. She finishes and the scene cuts to Lisa, she begins describing her take to Sherri and Terri. She finishes and picks up her saxophone to go to music practice. She walks in the music room sits down and then sees the time. She realises the show is going to be on in ten minutes. She plays the Itchy and Scratchy melody on her sax and bolts out. It cuts to Bart, he's writing on the black board: "I will not talk in class ever again" he hears a bell, realises the time and runs out. Cut to Homer holding some plutonium at a conveyor belt when a bell rings at the plant and he too realises the time and runs off, dropping some plutonium. Cut to the supermarket and we see Marge and Maggie checking out and running through the exit doors. Cut to a birds eye view of their home and we see everyone rushing to take a seat in the couch. They look at each other, they smile, the Itchy and Scratchy music plays, and it cuts to credits.
