these are articles I wrote, whilst an undergraduate student at George Washington University, DC. to understand why they are so crappy, let me give you a peek into my head at that time. i had spent the first two years of college pursuing a bio-med/MD program degree, forced by my parents, in which I had no interest. As a result I got bad grades and was kicked out (we had to mantain a 3.3 average). i then tried to major in english literature, which was my unofficial major anyway, since all i did was read books in the library. after attending a semester's worth of higher level english classes, i realized that it was bullshit too and totally disenchanted with the academic solutions available to me at that point, decided to just get a degree, any degree and get the hell out of there. the result was me joining the information technology major offered by the business school, which was not very challenging and happily allowed me to spend most of my time reading books and playing squash.
