Funny Yet Scary

Funny Yet Scary



And after some thinking, I would like to share some of the possible ways to protect yourself in every week

Week 1
Birds of the same feather flock together, so try to attain reasonably good GPA to secure decent project mates (best if they are your friends to begin with)

Week 2
When this particularly irritating fellow is going to contribute non-constructive comments theres bound to be inherent flaws in his/her argument so shoot it down asap before any serious damage is dealt

Week 3
Sell instead of buy assignment answers and mock at the joker who just bought the wrong set of answers from you;p

Week 4
If someone spreads rumours about a person, say, A in front of B, B is getting the idea that he/she will do the similar thing in B's absence and be wary of him/her instead
Then can gang up with the "victims" and payback the liar during peer evaluation

Week 5
Dun be at the pub in the first place, prevention is better than cure

Week 6
Only stupid profs will be deceived by these petty tactics and probably can distinguish those who are genuine and those who are trying to suck up

Week 7
From a business/investing perspective, why believe your competitor is willing to share valuable tips with you for free? If you are not so intelligent enough to trust him/her then suffer the consquences of your naiveté

Week 8
Disappearing from projects or meetings will only result in a thumbs-down for peer evaluation, enough said

Week 9
Sucking up to people who are not close to you is a pretty obvious endeavor

Week 10
Sabo a group's presentation, and every group will sabo yours, being sabo by one or everyone is worse?

Week 11
Have a backup copy of your notes or guard your notes carefully shall do

Week 12
Telling people that you are at Zouk over the phone when in fact you are in the library/studyroom immediately gives the game away, assuming the other party is alert enough and of reasonable intelligence

Week 13
Come on the profs have got something better to do, besides its pointless to do all these if the fellow isn't providing the drinks and cigarettes

Week 14
He/she can claim to possess the same level of IQ as Forrest Gump but GPA doesn't lie

Week 15
Imagine what will everyone do to the only student with a calculator on the day of exam!?
Good luck to whoever he/she is...

In conclusion, I really wonder if the schemer who practises all these "strategies" can actually find the time and energy to study, inevitably he/she may be the one whos gonna end up with sucky grades

However, it is an undeniable fact there competition is intense there and that kinda makes me feel worried... While certain aspects may be exaggerated, it provides a warning regarding the intensity level of competition in the university. It also gives the student a taste of the workings of the corporate world, where the dog-eat-dog principle is the rule and not the exception. Still, I must applause the video for its high entertainment value. Well done!
