This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

Spreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive. 

not necessarily art related but as someone who couldn’t afford their textbooks this semester this is a godsend

REBLOGGING because after a little digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.

friendly reminder that this exists since I know we’re all going back to college soon

Will reblog every time I see it.

So, you want some more colorful French slang?

Format= original french, English transliteration, and if applicable, an additional note for better context

So you want someone to SHUT UP?

Ta gueule! - (ta gull) {*literally: your mouth/face; most rude ;3*}

Ferme-la! - (fairm la) {*close your mouth*}

Boucle-la! - (boo-kleuh la) {*buckle it!*}

So there’s no way you’ll do that? LIKE HELL:

Tu rigoles! (too ree-goal) {*you’re joking*}

Tu t'fous de ma gueule! (too tfoo deuh ma gull) {*you’re fucking kidding me*}

So someone’s a GREEDY JERK?

T'as tout sifflé! (ta too see-flay) {*you guzzled the lot!*}

Tu viens de vider toute une théière! (too vyan deuh veeday toot oon tay-ee-air) {* literally: you just finished off a huge pot*}

So someone female’s a STUPID BITCH?

Quelle salope! (kel sah-lope)

Quelle connasse! (kel con-ass)

How about a dude being a STUPID BITCH?

Quel salaud! (kel sal-oh)

Quelle connard! (kel con-ar)

Something sound like BULLSHIT?

C'est n'importe quoi! (say nom-port-euh kwa)

So someone STOOD YOU UP?

Elle m'a posé un lapin! (Ell ma po-zay on lah-pan ~ think nasal vowels!) {*literally: she asked me a rabbit*}

______________________________

All the above came from my class notes in my French Translation course last year. My professor is a native speaker, but I’m not! If I made any errors in my transcription, let me know. 

EDIT: thanks to sevendrafts for correcting a few mistakes!
