And possibly watches anime as well ? That's like too far , the bars are too high These specs are rare Do it like Requirements : • girl • You will get laid as well - well that's what my friend told me and his argument was pretty strong ngl But not like I'm taking his advice #virgin4lifeUnlessIMeetarealLifeAnimegirl

Why study what's not on exam?

[@abijo5052]

@@appleslover especially if it's like here in the UK. Most universities give you the syllabus and/or lecture notes. Anything that's not clearly marked unnexamanable could be on the test. The whole point of exams is that they can't cover everything, but you have to learn everything BECAUSE you don't know what's on the test. If you keep asking if something's on the test either 1) you can't be arsed to read the syllabus or lecture notes, and so are disrupting everyone else or 2) you're trying to find out exactly what's on the test, which ruins the point and is practically (very open) cheating.
