Can't study

I have a philosophy test tomorrow morning and I just can't seem to study...
I always just cram the night before the test, and it's always worked out great for me. But I've always felt like there will eventually be one test that that just doesn't work for, and I bomb the test, and it forces me to change my study habits. This might just be that test.

Well, I don't drink, and I'm fresh outta herb.
But that's okay, it's not like I'm stressing. I'm more laughing at myself.

philosophy test? I'm taking my 3rd philosophy class at the moment - ethics and all of them have never had tests, just papers interesting what are the tests like? factual information or more along the lines of concepts

Yeah, it kinda surprised me too when I found out we'd be having tests. We were assigned readings each night from different philosophers (Plato, Camus, Nagel, Feinberg, Wolf, Ayer, Cahn, and Nozick) and we have to answer questions about what they have to say, and sometimes how they relate to each other.

thats not bad, as long as you did the readings you should be good
I'm reading the republic atm and just finished kant - groundwork and mill - utilitarianism I really enjoyed descartes style of writing as well as hume on morals
good luck man
I really enjoy philosophy, the papers are hard but you actually sit and think which I love
wish I could major in it but that would get me nowhere science it is

yeah, that whole doing the readings part is kicking me in the ass now! haha... well, this might be just what I need to teach me to keep up with stuff like that. I've always gotten by with good grades doing little to no work.
I like Kant a lot, I like a lot of what he has to say.

I feel you I have to read pretty slow for philosophy readings to get everything out of it

being a philosophy major gets you nowhere. i remember working at k-mart when I was 16 and I was working alongside a philosophy major who was only pulling $9 an hour.
really smart guy, but you can't do much with that degree except teach philosophy.
poor sob.

You can get a philosophy major and then go to grad school, but as an undergrad i dont think it offers much in the way of job opportunities.
