Philosophy Jokes You KANT Miss!
Bing

Philosophy for some reason often gets a bad rep these days. Whether it is the typical, "you'll never find a job with a philosophy degree," (which mind you is not completely true!) or the oh so fallacious and heartbreaking statement of, "philosophy has no relevance today," us lovers of wisdom (which is what the word philosophy actually means in Greek) always find ourselves defending the need for philosophy in our postmodern world. It's quite strange really because so many disciplines rely so heavily on philosophy without us even knowing it! Not to mention that we as humans philosophize just about every day! Shoot, even in mainstream cultures like Hip-Hop many topics rapped about are philosophical in nature. (From Tupac to Kendrick, it can be argued that hip hop houses many great thinkers of today.) Yet, this article is not about how the skills you learn from philosophy can be transferred to other fields or how it has been documented that Philosophy majors score amazingly high scores on their LSAT tests. This article is to show all of you that one KANT simply (see what I did there...) top philosophy jokes. After all, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein did once say that "a serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes." So LOCKE your eyes on your mobile device and lets get EMPIRICAL!:

I mean, it's okay for philosophy majors to joke about this...Just not anyone else!

1) Cartesian Roommate


2) Sorry Bernie Sanders supporters...Karl Marx beat ya to it a long time ago!



3) Plato's man cave seems almost to good to be true...

4) **MIC DROP**


5) Darth Vader drops some epistemology up in here

6) Ever wonder why us philosophy majors don't tend to spend time together outside of class?...

7) Hume's back at it again!

8) Sigmund Freud's answers to all of your life's problems

9) Is Trump a closet dialectic enthusiast? (I really want to know who get's this one!)

10) Socrates and Son...sounds like a good comedy sitcom.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
