Study: Students Are Add-Dropping More Than Their ClassesThe Chicago Shady Dealer interviewed 230 students in the college to find out what they’ve add/dropped beside Honors Physics, and here’s what we found:
1. Humum Readings – the most frequently add/dropped item, 88% of respondents admitted to responsibly adding Hhum readings to their To-Do lists before they drstopped writing To-Do lists and the readings (and later To-Do Lists) s from their weekly routine. The most commonly cited reason for adding/dropping the readings were “old habits die hard,” (for adding) and the most commonly cited reason for dropping was, “it was the closest I could get to dropping Hhum.” (for dropping the readings).
2. Housecest – 62% of those surveyed nostalgically recalled the thrill of adding a housecest to their life and then dropping that person abruptly and without explanation 4 weeks into the quarter, regardless of how convenient the sex was. Many of their smiles faded, however, as they remembered the awkward silences at dinner that lasted the remainder of their time in Housing.
3. Club Sports – 56% of students have reportedly added at least one club sport to their schedule and dropped it after realizing it would actually be a time commitment. The top add/dropped club sports were Pep Band (53%), Tang Soo Do (1%), and Inner Tube Water Polo (1%), and the most club sports add/dropped by any one respondent was 12 over the course of her college career.
4. Layers – 48% of those surveyed were optimistic Fall Quarter of their first year, and frequently add/dropped sweaters, scarves, hats, and light jackets before buying a coat suitable for Chicago weather. All survey participants100% of those who finally bought a coat = reflect that this was the “right choice,” as it allowed them to survive the regular Winter Quarter windchill of -10 degrees Farenheit. 100% of tThose who did not buy a coat are now dead.
5. Gluten Allergies – a trendy 32% of students dropped gluten from their diets due tofrom “some mild gluten intolerance” orto “basically Celiac diseasee,.” Others added gluten, citing “some new studies that say “it’s not that unhealthy” (5%) and “inexplicably decreased allergic reactions” (11%). tThe remaining 16% asked to skip this follow-up question..
