First required reading of Constitutional Law leaves first year students reevaluating life choices


THE HAGUE – “This wasn’t what I expected” said area year 1 student with a trembling tone, glancing at the half opened constitutional law book with a look of utter despair. “I have no recollection or clue of what I just read”

Reports confirmed today that this has been the general reaction to the academic year’s first required reading of Constitutional Law. Several first-year students have been identified in the library trying to get some reading done before their first lecture this Thursday. Some perplexed students have been flipping through the pages to see if it gets any better, others, in hope of coming across a ‘cool’ illustration of any sort to explain just what exactly ‘trias politica’ is.

Native English speakers have not been left out of the confusion, with several natives calling their parents to affirm they indeed spoke and read the English language.

One disgruntled student stated: “My tutor told us to be clear, concise, and coherent in our writing, but this book is neither of the three. The required reading didn’t even start on page one. You’d think these scholars would lead by example, right?”

“I bet the reading only gets easier as it goes on,” assured the tutor group slacker to the rest of his colleagues, despite the fact he has yet to purchase the book.

Many students have begun to reevaluate life choices, trying to connect the dots to locate where exactly they went wrong and ended up reading about constitutional theories. Google searches for ‘Psychology entry requirements’ have spiked, reporters confirmed all searches came from the IP Addresses of computers located in The Hague University’s library.

Not all bad news, however. The University has ordered 10,000 volt defibrillators to be installed by quarter two, just in time for Administrative Law.
