person1: Could you find out anything about "Christian Whothefuck"?

peson2: Yes, I looked him up in studiVZ, his profile picture shows him striking a fart...

Malaysian Studies

A subject that was forced upon all college students in Malaysia because the government was afraid that they would forget the fabricated History of Malaysia and spread discontentment about the country when they go overseas to further their studies.

A huge failure as truth cannot be hidden. Signifying yet another venerability of the poorly though of and highly biased education system.

Studying for Malaysian Studies is a waste of time.

Social studies

The worst subject in all of life. Like who needs to know about things that happened long ago?!? Like if I need to know about history I would just read. Who needs history?

Person: Why is social studies a thing? Who needs it?
Social studies teacher: you better need it to learn!
Person: about what?
Social studies teacher: Ummmm... Something?

Studio Drunk

The feeling, similar to actually being intoxicated, brought on by lack of sleep and extreme concentration while trying to finish a project in architecture school. this normally occurs around 3:30 or 4:am of an all nighter or when you have gotten less that 4 hours of sleep per night for several days.

Architecture Student: rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically

Architecture Student's Roommate: "you're studio drunk aren't you?....yes, you are"

Academy of American Studies

Now with over 1,000 students, this school was once a good college prep school, now turned into a fallen apart waste of money. Students should expect nothing but disappointment if attending there now. Things took a turn for the worst a few years ago when the school ran out of regular printer paper and handed out assignments on green colored paper. That's how broke it became. The good teachers are starting to leave one by one, and the current principal is making the school more like LIC high school (and that is NOT a good thing).

While the school does get students into colleges, they do a mediocre job at best. But the biggest issue is the overcrowding has led to several problems such as: oversized gym classes, health in the AUDITORIUM where nobody can hear shit, no pep rallies due to the auditorium reaching maximum capacity, and a lack of desks for the cramped classes, leaving students to sit on the floor or share the already tiny desk space with others.

WHAT KIND OF BITCH ASS SHIT IS THAT? Seriously, this school might have been good five years ago, but it's gone off the deep end. Staff pick favorites and let some get away with harassment and bullying, the faculty have censored students opinions, and the teachers are given jobs they don't want to do just so the school can save that $$$ and not hire anyone else.

One little plus, I hear they added Physics back. I guess that's a good step...

Parent: You're a graduate of Academy of American Studies? I was thinking about sending my kid there.
Alumnus: Nah are you crazy? That run down shit hole just keeps getting worse year by year. They'll just throw your student into the overcrowded population and make him/her suffer.
Parent: Hmmm, maybe i'll consider another school.
Alumnus: Damn right you better

Quare Studies

A formulation of queer theory with attention given to race and class. Most current formulations of queer theory either ignore the categories of race and class altogether or theorize their effects in discursive rather than material terms. To suture that gap, "quare" studies as a vernacular rearticulation and deployment of queer theory accommodates racialized sexual knowledge.

He, a young, African-American, Queer boy from the Harlem ghetto, felt he never was able to relate to the theories and processes discussed in his Queer biographies class, until they discussed Richard Nugent. Studying Richard Nugent --American writer, painter and important figure in the Harlem Renaissance -- offered him more than an exploration of Queer studies, it was a moment of self-realization in his Quare identity; he no longer felt fragmented between his racial, class, and sexuality identities. The class was no longer just about his Queer identity because it had evolved into Quare Studies.

The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies

A special division of Glenbrook South and North with 120 students at any given time, 30 students per grade level, that have special privileges. These unique species commonly affiliate themselves with hardcore debate, classical music, too much technology, and often have nothing better to do than their homework. Students in the "Academy" are often labeled "Academites".

Typical conversation between a teacher and a student from the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies:

Teacher: Who are you?

Academite: I'm in the Academy and was wondering if I could--

Teacher: Yes.
