It Gets Better, Nerds
Good news for nerds, outcasts, homos and freaks: those dudes winning on your school's football team are going to bomb out of life: the more winning there is, the more their grades go down. You should totally cite them this survey while they're beating you up.
If I learned anything at my last two high school reunions, it's that grades have little or nothing to do with life.*
*And by "life" I mean of course "money," "satisfaction," etc.
@C_Webb "sexual partners"
@deepomega Is this article trying to suggest that graduating with good grades is somehow going to help people get ahead in life? Because that just seems cruel.
@deepomega: I did ok in that department, but I credit my boobs more than my grades.
Look, I realize it's Deceleration Thursday, but you clearly did not read the article that you reference.
Blame the intern.
@Lockheed Ventura Ironic, considering the author.
@Lockheed Ventura: @Lockheed Ventura: The actual study is even better news for nerds! Let's face it, the football team was never really the competition. Now you just need to convince the professor to schedule exams close to the dates of home games.
CAN YOU FLY BOBBY
AND THE GEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!!
If I only had known I'd have the internet as an adult, I would have held off on all the stupid things I said a child.
But everybody calls themselves a geek or nerd now! Is there an article with stats on how well pretentious people calling thems "food nerds" do in life?
these kids don't need to read studies or have 'perspective;' they have Lady Gaga.
