I’m thinking of bringing back the Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus series... not having actually been on campus all year did kind of make me lose motivation to do it for a year. I’ll see if I can keep it going, but if it does come back, let this abomination that I myself absentmindedly quoted today, be the renewing spark:
My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.
every time we serve chicken at work i think of this post
1. If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.
2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:
THIS IS GOLD
oh m god please watch the video it’s some of the most contagious laughter on the planet
When I saw this cross my dash tonight, I smiled and thought “yess, the chicken chicken chicken post, I get to reblog it again and inflict it on all of the people that have followed me since last time”, and then I scrolled down more and to my utter delight there was A VIDEO, needless to say my night has been made
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE CHICKEN VIDEO IN TEN DAMN YEARS HOLY SHIT
STILL FUNNY
The bell
The last question
The woman howling in laughter 90% of the time
It’s all beautiful
It’s all
So beautiful
I love that he was absolutely 100% prepared for a question in chickenese.
“I do not feel capable summarizing this article”
Same
Beats lorem ipsum dolomet any day!
Also, this is shit academia says personified.
“Note that a parent needs to know the identities of its children if it is to terminate them.“
Yikes, computer pioneers had no tact at all eh
Big yikes, small yikes, and academic Yikes all coalesce here. Welcome to Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus: Shit Academia Says (with no context).
This is a weekly dive into the dump, so join me. It smells like college students in here.
Week 4! Give it up for week 4 of weird write ups seen around campus, the autumn semester!
This week’s weird writeup seen around campus, courtesy my friend, titled “Kids should not be allowed to spell”
Week 3 of the autumn semester, give it up for weird writeups seen around campus, the social distant version!
My professor asking us for imaginary money to get due dates changed and he put this as what we did for class and I just need you all to see
Shit academia says, Exhibit #52,464
More, more more weird writeups seen around campus!
Dark humor in a textbook
The weird shit academia says indeed

Do this to end every piece, and then when you switch to doing math, do this again. — source: an “academic” (tired student falling asleep in class)
University can be weird, academia with no context is hilarious, and campus is where you’ll see it all.
Here’s more Week 4, brought to you by a braindead student waiting for Friday.
Week 4, give it up for week 4 of weird writeups seen around campus!
If there was ever a “Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus” hall of fame, this would take top spot. It’s the best find I’ve ever made.
Keeping academia weird is keeping academia natural. For more no context academia, allow me to play out my fantasies of being David Attenborough and taking you through the world of academia in its natural habitat: verbally tripping over its own feet.
It’s Autumn and we’re still going! Give it up for the autumn edition of weird writeups seem around campus
(through binoculars, cuz we’re socially distancing. We’re not creeps.)
”Office: no, this is 2020”
Damn right it’s 2020
As the academic year returns, so do its nuances and nuttiness! Academia was always weird, it was just on a well-deserved vacation.
And so, we herald the return of this blog’s weekly lifeblood: the Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus tag! Still socially distancing, but on campus in spirit.
This is just my life as a performer, isn’t it
My prof just really went and made a 40-slide PowerPoint in Comic Sans MS huh
The System is inclusive. It doesn’t judge. It gives you space, and doesn’t back down. It doesn’t give in to peer pressure.
Be like the System.
Out of context academia at its finest, now cozily nestled into its new homeplace, electronic print media.
10 weeks and running (for their lives) now, here’s to the best of wacky out of context academic sayings.
Week 11! Give it up for week 10 of weird writeups seen around campus!
(I’m sorry, I got lazy and completely skipped Week 10 I think... I don’t even remember now, my bad :[ )
Ah, how currency has changed since those simple times.
Some change changes, some doesn’t, but academia has remained the same for centuries: wild, nutty, with or without context. Join me every week as I try and provide you more insight into... well, just plain ol’ confusion, sometimes academics just screaming into the void, as observed undisturbed, in their natural habitat: texts, lectures, institutions.
Week 11! Give it up for week 11 of weird writeups seen around campus!
Cursed cat
Weird things academics say 101.
Is it Monday already? Here goes another week of academia losing their minds over things no one else is seeing. It’s been 10 weeks now!
Week 10! Give it up for week 10 of weird writeups seen around campus!
Time to follow their footsteps and study statistical mechanics.
If this isn’t peak weird-stuff academics say, I don’t know what is.
Week 9! Give it up for week 9 of weird writeups seen around campus!
