Horror Story 1: Freshman year in college, we had to take a English Literature class. For the final assignment was writte a collaborative 25 page paper on Walden by Henry David Thoreau

My team consisted of a very nice former editor of her newspaper and a dumbass from hell. Our grade depended on each other and he figured he could just sail through.

The guy failed to do his assignment and on the night before the final paper was due waltzed in with a 1/2 paragrah written. I was so pissed.

The girl and I ended up working the entire night and submitted our paper 1/2 hour before the deadline in the morning. She also stapled at the end of the paper his piece and wrote an explanation.

I thought we would all get Ds because of this moron because it was a team assignement. But the professor was generous and we got As and the guy flunked obviously.

It all ended well , didn’t it ? So where is the horror ?
