Who else has had to suffer through writing pages and pages about topics they care nothing about? What's the worst topic you've ever had? I've had to write a 10 page paper on potatoes.... that was particularly boring.

 

[patel2]

everything in my archaeology class...don't think i've ever learned a more boring trade. How these guys PhD's in subjects like that is shocking

10 page paper on green tech and before that a 10 page paper/capstone on the effects small changes have on your energy bill and how that plays into the global energy economy. Both were pretty heavy research papers, but in retrospect I should have done something I was more partial to, such as psychology, neuroscience, developmental biology, or ecological preservation.

How about a paper discussing your brain's CO2 emissions?

Largest single greenhouse gas producer of the body, you know.

for my "History of East Asia before 1800's" class I had to write a paper about Chinese women's poetry that was imbedded in personal letters from one woman to another as a subtle pre-feminism feminist challenge to the authority of the patriarchy that dictated that only men were allowed to be creative writers.

the topic was assigned. the paper was long, boring, and 100% talking out of my *****.

Don't post often but I had to respond to this because the worst paper I've ever written was Gorilla Menopause.

I'm not kidding. This was for a biology writing course.

 

[mmmcdowe]

I had to write an essay on the proper way to write a check.

 

[rhcarolina]

I had to write a Socratic dialogue on metaphors. Mr. Owl from the tootsie pop commercial was my Socrates... pretty lame.

 

[slatermd]

Sorry, all of my papers are diamonds.

 

[tabascosauce]

i had to write about myself.....

🙁

I just finished writing a review of a paper titled "The allopatric phase of speciation: the sharp-beaked ground finch (Geospiza difficilis) on the Galapagos islands"

Sometimes I hate biology...

Hope you at least got an A out of it.

19th century Spanish literature.

For anyone considering a Spanish degree so they can speak Spanish, just answer me this: You don't get an English degree to speak English right? The kind of stuff you would study for an English degree you would study for a Spanish degree, but except, in Spanish. I hate literature and how it is all pseudo deep and stuff. Ten people take away ten different meanings of a work and they are all right? I mean come on! How can 1+1 be 2 and 3 and 4 and ..... at the same time?

 

[slatermd]

Yeah, I had some Spanish lit courses that were bruisers. They'd let you struggle with a reading for a while, then they'd tell you what you're supposed to take away from it to avoid too much 2 + 2 = 79.

My mom always tells the story of how when I was in first grade my teacher assigned us an essay with the prompt "What is your favorite food and why?" I, of course, wasn't about to comply with this B.S., so I just wrote, "Corn... because it tastes good."

 

[helloitsme]

Hope you at least got an A out of it.

A- 👎 which is a grade I'd be happy with normally, but given the assigned topic into which I had to put the effort...

not a class i fondly remember

 

[organdonor]

I remember a writing prompt on a standardized state wide test in middle school. We had to include the following phrase somewhere in the story:

it was all the fault of the baby elephant.

 

[Potatoman1800]

I wrote about a salad.

The prompt related to multiculturalism and international relations at a very local level.

Got an A+

I had weird GE classes, and my least favorite paper was on the BS "artwork" of Cy Twombly.

Here's an example of his "art":

I think I've seen admirers of his art leave their work on both my high school and universities bathroom stalls.

Everything in APUSH. My teacher told me I was going to fail the AP exam and didn't expect anything higher than a 2. I got a 5.

 

[Torr]

i had to write about myself.....
why am i so lame...

🙁

Lol. Didn't expect that.

I once wrote a paper (actually took a whole class) on strategies to optimize milk production in dairy farms and the use of genetics/mating. Worst part is it used a lot of math 🙁.

Flannery O'Connor.

I had a survey of American lit class that was transmogrified into a study of the marginalization of immigrant women in America. Let it be known that I believe in equal rights and I'm kind of a closet feminist and underdog lover, but god damn. Great Gatsby, Invisible Man, I expected you but so long mamajamas cuz you gotta make way.

My paper was a literature review on Audre Lord. Never read her books? Lemme give you a quick rundown of the highlights of her biomythography (Yes she wrote a biography where she also made **** up, and instead of calling it a novel, called it a biomythography.. poetic license be damned).

There was a woman and her mother, menstruating, and also masturbating with one another. I analyzed this very thoroughly as it was a keystone of her points in the book, and was also one of the more "gritty" essays I've written

 

[StudyShy]

Any of the nursing papers or the religion papers that I had to write over the last ten years.

 

[SilentSoldier]

I wrote an 8 page paper on describing my bedroom for my first college English class. Pretty ridiculous
