What's more satisfying than getting a 100 on an assignment you worked really hard on?

Feeling pretty satisfied right now. ;)

Probably head

Congratulations man. Well done!!!

I'm not sure to be honest. But to each their own.

Getting a passing grade on an assignment I didn’t work hard on

Getting a 100 on an assignment you spent little to no time on.

Doing something that actually matters

Can't think of anything much, but praying in the name of Jesus and then having God answer your prayers, getting a 100 average for the whole semester (no extra credit), and hired in the career that's related to your school major(s).

But the inverse would be getting wrong answers, leading to a lost groove and getting kicked out on academic probation, even if it just barely happened; that's the lowest of the low in terms or moral drainage; right there with getting turned down/rejected by someone that you really liked, knowing how much love you're able to given them, especially in comparison that they think loves them at my level.

So, you try to avoid getting hurt and this moral drainage as much as possible.

Congratulations! What was the assignment?

@laflux: Thanks, pal!

Can’t say I’m surprised by this answer, but I am disappointed.

Does it really feel earned though? I feel lucky when that happens not satisfied.

Not my fault if I can effortlessly pull off stuff that people need to put an effort for. I'm not talking about a luck or cheating scenario here.

It was an Ethics assignment. I basically had to make an argument for my personal position regarding the death penalty.

Sounds like you need harder assignments. :P

Sounds interesting. I don't want to go into details, but what side did you choose?

I argued against the death penalty. It’s definitely an interesting topic with valid points on both sides though. It was a difficult and time-consuming assignment, but I was proud of my final product. Apparently, my professor liked it too which is always a plus.

@eslay03: Now hear me out eslay, I'm sure that's satisfying and all, but have you taken a piss after holding it for a long time? That is true satisfaction.

Nice! So one last question. How were you doing in the class before your paper?

I was doing well. Had an A- (93-94ish), I believe. This bumped me up to an A though.

Well Once again Congratulations!

I have, and this is better. Plus, I’d classify a long-overdue peeing session as relieving more so than satisfying.

I mean, educational achievements lose their novelty after you've gone through different classes for decades, but hey, who am I to spoil your fun.

That’s true. I’m still feeling satisfied over that huge potty break I took 3 years ago though.

Getting good grades despite doing everything last minute

Says the person who barely gets sex.

He got no bitches cuz he is as old as me

Passing your final assignment of college. Not even necessarily an A, just passing it.

That is what lifting a 4 year weight off your shoulders feels like.

I'll accept this answer! I can imagine it now...

I am also against the death penalty :-)

I remember having to do some oral exam and one of the options was the death penalty.

Doing that twice in a row.

Challenge accepted.

Good luck!

Reviving your average after it dips and still managing to qualify for post grad.
