Well taxpayers paid a fuckton for the primary research behind those orphan drugs a lot of the time
To be fair, I'd never heard this nickname either and didn't know our reputation, following UChicago, for where fun goes to die.I knew it would be tough academically but my first night in the dorm was the first time I had heard the nickname Work Forest or that it had just showed up on some survey as having the second hardest workload in the country.
Turns out it wasn’t Lyme, it was rabies. And it wasn’t a tick, it was a raccoon, which explains why my freezer is all torn up after putting it in there in case it needed to be tested later.
Do they still give you shots in the abdomen for rabies? That always terrified me as a kid when my parents told me that was the treatment.

These methodologies are always nonsense, but there are very few schools in the US with a system of divisional requirements as stringent as wake's. I have zero doubt that wfu has one of, if not *the*, hardest freshman workload of any school in the US.
I guess -- I just wasn't a very good student or hard worker and I got out okay
hardly made any A's, but only once got anything below a B
and I think Cav and I had the same major
think I got a C in stat and a D in German my first semester but after that I brought the grades up when dad put the fear of god in me
that was a weird time in my life - i remember sitting down at the AP Lit test center and just ... not writing any of the required essays
I kind of skated through HS and never learned how to study, focusing on sports, friends, girls, etc. Try to skate through Wake and get too focused on being a college kid and all the fun that entails, and you end up with a sub 3.0 GPA for sure. Something finally clicked Junior year and I really learned how to study hard and effectively. My last 4 semesters of college were almost a full point higher GPA than my first 4. 3.6 vs. 2.7 I think.
I think this is weirdly the experience of many incoming wake students. That and the divisionals and wake's refusal to take 4s from AP tests (so first-year classes are the same difficulty as other requirements, which is not the case at many schools) probably contribute to this real or perceived first-year difficulty.I kind of skated through HS and never learned how to study, focusing on sports, friends, girls, etc. Try to skate through Wake and get too focused on being a college kid and all the fun that entails, and you end up with a sub 3.0 GPA for sure.
Probably didn't help that you discovered liquor and got a serious girlfriendI had a similar story, though I had good grades to start at wake and then I started to skate when classes got harder which didn’t work
Hold on here. You got bitten by a raccoon, somehow managed to capture it, and then stuck it alive in the freezer to keep for later? Or am I being trolled?
Prof. McAllister?
