Just Be Average
My sister was wearing an AUK shirt today
it says on the front Be a C student ...
on the back it says
Cool
Civil
Confident
Comical
Credible
Creative
Caring
AUK
Learn Think Become
i think they ment:
Learn just enough to pass
Think like everyone else
Become average!
Shino Be a C student!!
please tell me the C stands for something extraordinary at the university!
Couldn't they come up with words beginning with A!
Be an A student??
Advanced
Amazing
Attentive
Awesome
Astounding
Admirable
Amicable
Adventurous
Accurate
and these are off the top of my head!
I'm sure they could have come up with a better motto instead of just be a C student!
whatever happened to high expectations!

LOL, am thinking now of the B & the F lists of words... top of my head bas not "blog" material!
I woulsn't wear the t-shirt nomatter what they gave me!
You have a good point! but I think they wanted to this shirt to be attractive and gets people's attention!
In my opinion, I think it's cool and funny... :D
i think the whole idea of the t-shirt is bad, just change the concept bala C student wala A student!! :S baas u have a point
yaboon e3teraf ba3ad.
be a kuwaiti :P
hmm
never thought of its impact..
That could go with ACK not AUK. :/
its an ad just to attract students...telling them you dont have to be smart to attend our university...we accept anything basically!!!!
They didnt mean it the way you did.. its an American things since Harry Truman once said, "The C students rule the world."
But really! Dont say that in Kuwait! Mo nagseen LOL
i'm C Student
C for claver which i'm
C for clean which is me
and C for Creative and Cool thats totally me.
and when i look at it after graduation it doesn't make any different for me between A and C.. it's about what you can do with what you have learn.
lol
good point :p
lol,you're right but I think they wrote C to get more attention :)
Well, if they said A student it would not be a joke (however poor a joke it may be). Be a C student:
Complain
Cram at the last moment for exams
Come out of the closet in philosophy class.
Cringe at bad t-shirts.
Cry when you get your results.
Chloroform that girl you fancy.
Copy all of your projects.
Cease ironing, followed by all levels of laundry.
Clothe yourself like a homeless person, to be honest.
Contemplate quitting from week 7.
Call your Mother no more than once a month.
Change all of your old friends of convenience for new ones that you have chosen from a larger sample.
Cut class.
Cut your hair funny.
Hmmm. This is difficult with the letter 'C'.
I think it's all about the sarcasm. lol
I'm still not getting it !
Well I think u are correct. They need more creativity. But what to do some people just think in their own perspective and don't use team work in this damn country :P
Lmao..Omg..Wow..good message, i agree with it wholeheartedly
Are you sure the university itself gave out these t-shirts? They could have been designed by a student. It just doesn't make any sense for a university to encourage an average grade!!!
Lol @ shale
wow that was creative wala :P bs the first thing that came up to my mind was " losers " i mean yeah whats with the BE AN A STUDENT ??? gone with wind i guess !
looool i think they wanted it to attract attention that's all.. y3ni if it says be an A student, hmmm 3adi.. but be a C student is eye catching :)
it's nice i think..
Sadly AUK is more into money, and half the students are there for non- educational reasons if you know what i mean.
Min 9ejhom !!!
chikapappi
lol
maybe theres some kind of hidden message in it!
rekoo
yes, but AUK is a university, not a comedy club, they give u the shirt with the application package, and it aint encouraging anyone serious !
shoosha
ya whatever happened to the good ol uni sweaters with just the school logo on em!
enigma
loooool!!
um-mit3ib
haw eshfeena!
ray

the critisizer

ananoymous
then ur right where u belong :)
imbayen, it cleaver sweety :)
palo girl

rieaane
bad attension
shale
lool
good 1
too bad the 1 they made was not funny at all
canc3rain
hehe
maybe it is
grey
its ok
there isnt much to get
g
i dont think it requires alot of team work to figure out C student isnt exactly the way to advertise for a university
" come to our uni, we dont expect much"
lilacs
lool
ya sure u would!
magical droplets
yes u get it with the application package, along with a notebook and a pen
Navy girl
im sure they ment to be creative, and in a diff. setting it would have been, bs for a university its just not good
reem
ee bs its not the right kind of attension, especially not to someone serious about going to a good school
blue dress
wallah i dont know much about the school
i just saw the shirt and found it odd
Glam
apparantly
Being an A student is better! :-p
American education was never that inspiring!
Yo ;**
LOL well yeah i very much agree with you, they encourage their students 3ala il laziness. Maybe the percentage of people failing is huge, so they said at least yeebaw C :P
anyways, welcome back :**
Good point.
But I love it :D it's cool.
Zain ma galo Be an F student :)
o I just thought of this, some students cant get higher grades than C, even if they try sooo hard "and I know many".. So this t-shirt kinda lifts their spirits :D
Don't you think?
enigma loool
leave it to eshda3wa to put some simple sensibility into daring mottos.
looooooooooooooooooooool :)saa7 ur absolutely right!
I think they should make t-shirts for everybody..C students, B students, A students and even F students. I'd definitely buy the F student. I never got that grade in my life.
something for everyone. ;)
elmathal egool "med reeylek 3ala gad el7afek" and i guess that's what they're doing ;)
LOLL 5o mayaboon i7ab6oon il3alam :P tamsheen with a be an A student o ur failing :P la o ba3dain 7ata the C wont be good enuf lakin if ur goal is the C then a D isnt that far away from ur goal o tkoneen rathya 3alaiha :P
lolz esh hatha wallah min jed why C students y7a6mo al 3alam :P
though i think the shirt is nice and cool :D
Think there's another purpose to this shirt other than the C refering to the grades..
maybe AUK students are just not cool, caring and civil enough.. so they gotta start with that.. :S i dunno..
but thats funny..
be a c*** obviously...
I say the school should wear a t-shirt saying, "Be an R Educator"
Retard, Retard, Retard, Retard, Retard, Retard...
Seriously, why didn't they just add Cute, Cuddly, Confused, Cucumber.. errr!
Criticizer LOL ur soo right:P
eshda3wa lena they didnt really come up with it ! they took it off the internet I'm sure of this fact.
They should really add to it "be Copy cats"
LOL LOL LOL - isn't this a bad message for the A students of the university if everyone is wearing a t-shirt saying be a C student and ... ironically enough the university actually endorsed that t-shirt?
i think the t-shirt is a flop, dont really know what they were thinking when they came up with it!
so lol totally agree with you!
No one likes A students anymore. Everyone prefers the C people because they typically engage in a lot of things during their university life than books. So typically they are more life-absorbing and understanding than the book wormers
poor F students ?
what would they be ?!
lol
but they just wanted 2 attract people and tell them even if they are (c) they got many features and they have 2 be proud lol
LOL!
they say there is no such thing as a bad publicity =P (and I don't fully agree with that) but it could be applied in this promotion tool which is the tshirt!
If it got our attention than it sorta worked =P
lool 7ada a kuwaiti motto ;p
amjad
ofcourse it is
ms loala
i beg to differ
the tooth fairy
hey girl!! where have u been!
tawa ma nawar my blog :**
lol maybe !
pinkish
then they should hand it out to those ppl
moo give it to new applicants!!
vyyvaa
im just surprised that no-one at the school stopped it!!
yara
hehe
:*
hamza
ya at some gift shop or whatever, NOT as part of their application package!
msb
thats a pretty short blanket!
do0da
sara7a ya3ne wayd imra3een masha3er the failing students

commenter

Fayoora
thats even worse!

hathy elmshkela!
kj
aha... so the university is just encouraging socializing more, yep now it makes sense
sawrwar
the university should be ashamed wala!
dynamic deeds
ya but it got the wrong sort of attension, would u go to a school that only encouraged u to be a c student?
pearls
7ada lazy not kuwaiti ;)
its a fun t-shirt! thought it was cute.
but if this is an official university / education institution t-shirt, then it just sends the wrong message.
i was a F student - fun, friendly, fantastic....
its a very nice ad actually, it had an impact on all of you, good or bad which is good, if it was be an A student it would be boring and dull.
