College is harder, but it gets pretty easy eventually. Your major and the school you are at can have a lot to do with how hard your degree is, and if you become involved in any Honors program.
As a general rule natural sciences courses are somewhat harder than liberal arts courses, but that doesn't mean there aren't liberal arts classes out there that will kick your ass or natural sciences classes that are a breeze.
I never had trouble making A's in my natural science courses (Bio minor among other things), although the one I did take pass/fail senior year I probably would have gotten a B in. The hardest class to get in A in I ever had was my Jane Austen class. I swear I only got by with like a 89.5 in that one. That teacher was insane.
This was an honors class mind you. We had 5 papers (and she was the hardest grader I have ever had), we were required to come in and watch a movie every weekend (a Jane Austen movie), we had to give a class presentation, we had a class project which the entire class got the same grade on (was such a pain to organize), and we read over six novels, but at least we didn't have a final.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
