Lines:
Then turn that attitude around and be all fuck you people, I am far more awesome than your lazy asses and I'm going to fucking prove it. That's what I did in my electives. Mostly because all of my core classes made me feel like a shitty student half the time and I needed something to feel good about.
WriterofAllWrongs:
So, I have a meeting with my English professor in twenty minutes about my paper, and I have written none of it. I am confident that I can bullshit my way through the meeting, despite only having a slight grasp of what I'm doing with my paper. I have done this twice already and gotten A's both times. I fucking love college.
Barmymoo:
You are the embodiment of the above problem.

When I was an undergrad, I majored in Classics. The problem is that other than my advanced Latin classes (and I only took a couple of those), most or all of my other classes (humanities and basic Latin/Greek) were people taking them as a general requirement. Because of this, there was almost no participation, since they were there not out of interest, but simply for the credit. It got frustrating after a while.

I went to a private liberal arts school where most students were fairly studious. We ranked somewhere in the top 10 for "schools where students never stop studying" in one of those Princeton review surveys. I still had classmates who didn't seem too interested in being in school and who didn't try very hard. There are more competitive schools out there, but you'll generally find some slackers at every school. Private colleges usually just have smarter or richer slackers. You'll also always find highly motivated students everywhere, you might just have to look for them. I'm not sure where you are in school, but if you're still undecided about major, I recommend choosing a major that really challenges as well as interests you. Then, once you've figured out your major, pick the smartest person in your department and befriend them. You'll probably keep each other on your toes.
