I'm letting my brother get fish and a tank for his birthday today

Nice!

Well, he's not an attractive man. He's great in Broadchurch. The new lady doctor is also in Broadchurch. It's a good show, but I understand. You're far too narrow minded to branch out past shows for tweens.

Says the pie-hating southie. I'm still just barely discovering TV shows, maybe I'll track it down after I'm finished Supernatural. Which I would never let a tween watch, by the way.

Jodie Whittaker? How neat!

Somehow I knew this was headed south. I almost called it when I saw your attempt at nice neutral chit chat. I thought to myself: "self, there's no way this will last. I feel a brawl a brewin! Yeehaw!"

We can't look at each other without squabbling.

I know! You two are worse than my kids! I'm about to make you go pick your switches!

Who on earth suggested I hate pie??? I love pie! Cherry or peach are my favorites closely followed by apple. Then there's cobbler. Wild blackberry or fresh peach. I'm drooling just thinking about it. I am not a cake person though. Frosting (other than a simple whip cream or ganache ) makes we wanna puke.

Well, you don't have a sweet tooth, and besides, everyone that's as mean and bitter as you can't possibly like good and nice things like pie.

It was amazing. Banty spent all her energy insulting me so she staved off a panic attack! I call that a success!

I would argue that the beginning of college is not insanely difficult. History, English, trig, all those basics are a walk in the park. It’s when you get to organic chemistry and microbiology that sh** starts getting real, and that’s all still in community college.
I’d say if someone can’t keep up with highschool or early community college stages (at that point your study skills should be well and truly developed), it won’t go well once you get 2-3 years in, let alone vet school when the real work begins. A&M’s average (2017) vet school acceptance GPA for non-residents is a 3.87, that’s not a lot of wiggle room. It’s easier to get into human medical school.

But I will agree, more than half the battle of college is just figuring out how your brain takes in information best and keeping up with motivation.
Not that I think you don’t know all that, Prairie.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint.. I’ve just seen too many friends/acquaintances set themselves up for failure by talking themselves into the “college is so easy” mentality. They don’t last.

Oh no I totally understand that! I’m just talking about when professors purposely scare their students with the “if you don’t study for 6 hours for every hour of class you won’t pass”. I’m not even exaggerating, my science major biology professors have said that exact sentence. That is where I will never agree with the school system.

Also it will also depend on strong suits. I do extremely well in English and Science courses, but I tend to struggle in Math courses. It all depends upon the person and their drive to learn. Anyone can pass, but it takes someone with drive to pass with flying colors. It is more difficult to get into veterinary school but that’s also because there is only 12 accredited universities compared to the multitude of universities that can complete medical doctorates. That’s why it is more competitive.

Oh I know. I was there. I was a little late to the party as usual but I saw it through to the end.
