Random Musings: Why a Girlfriend is like Math 221
By: Kristoph Minchau
Background
I came up with this theory while studying for Math 221 with a bunch of engineering people, most noteably Gary Texmo, who was the inspiration for this, and through his actions (him having to "leave" a very productive study session, to meet his girlfriend for some reason (it was for HER reason, not HIS reason, and hence why I thought he was whipped... ahem... I mean he didn't make the correct "logical" choice)).
For each of these reasons, think of how they apply to a Girlfriend, and to Math 221 (a hard university calculus course).
Why a Girlfriend is like Math 221:
- It costs money (221: course fee. girlfriend: chocolates, flowers, gifts, movies, etc.)
- It takes time (which is equal to money) (221: you have to study, go to class etc. girlfriend: you have to spend "quality" time with her, and in general be "on call" 24/7 to drop everything and be by her side whenever she wants).
- There are going to be tests (221: Miderm, Final. girlfriend: (the hardest question to answer in the universe) "does this make me look fat?" (because you are ALWAYS wrong)).
- If you do good on the tests, things are going to be good, if not, things are going to be be bad (221: either you get an A+ or a D- girlfriend: "you look great" = +1 for cuddle time, "yes it does make you look fat" = +1 for dog house)
- It is possible to Fail (221: forget a final. girlfriend: forget a birthday)
- Even though you failed, it's still a requirement if you want to get what you want. (221: no course, no degree. girlfriend: no girlfriend, no kids, no passing on the genes)
- You can always take things again. ("There's never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over") (221: retake the course, with a different prof. girlfriend: retake the course of girlfriend101 with a different girlfriend)
- After Passing, there is more responsability, and more things to do (221: there are more courses that you need to take to get you're degree. girlfriend: there are more responsabilities that come into play ("what!? I have to take out the garbage, cook, and clean now!?").)
- You have to study. (221: Study the material, and do better on tests. girlfriend: Study the girl and you will get slapped... I mean... remember important information... like her name, or birthday... and you will do better)
