UNI FEELS

I have, now it just feels like I'm going nowhere

I work a pizza delivery job that makes me $15 dollars an hour but it feels like I'm going to be doing it for the rest of my life. Other than work I almost never leave the house. Because of the job I'm working when most people are hanging out (weekends and evenings) so even if I wanted to make friends I'd never be able to

I was in The Department of Mental Health system when I was going to college, and I'm still in the system now that I've left. My days are boring and friendless where I just watch T. V., play video games and smoke cigarettes. There's hardly any places of employment where I live so I'm content to scrape by on NEET bux. The hardest part is I only get $40 dollars a week for groceries, but I could go over that if I really needed to. I have enough money to get an Xbox 1, so I have that going for me, which I'm gonna get in the coming weeks. Life is pretty boring though. I never really had any friends growing up, and I don't have any friends now, but I don't even have acquaintances. The only people I see on a regular basis are the staff to give me meds in the morning and my parents once a week to eat dinner and for me to do laundry.

I came back. Took a year and a half off. When I came back, I took it slow: one class per semester. I was working full time and coming back from the brink of suicide, and thought so little of myself that I thought "I'm only going to keep going so I can put it in my resume I'm a student".

Now, I'm old enough than still being a student is looked down upon, I've seen the people I started college with graduate, get great jobs, travel the world with their great salaries and benefits and paid conference vacations, land managerial positions, get jobs abroad, buy condos, cars, have fun in general, while I'm still stuck in college with no free time between that and a full time job. I've also seen people who started college AFTER me do the same thing.

My prospects of ever landing a good job better than code-monkey are really slim. My prospects of ever having time to learn other important skills are slim. I can venture I'll graduate in about 4 years, by the time I'm in my fucking 30s, which would be pathetic as fuck, a blemish in my resume and personal life forever and a question recruiters will always use to filter me out from selection processes for the best jobs available.

I only came back because college here is tuition-free.

I dropped out of high school

>taking 2 classes this semster, but I'm still failing both
>hate my accounting major
>not sure what I want to do with my life

>whole family is having money problems
>all my friends are moving on with their lives
>no gf ever
>still a virgin

I've been thinking about dropping out and getting a desk job or some entry lvl HR job. I've seen some job openings in my area and idk it seems like it would be nice to tell people I have a "real" job.

Working at a restaurant while going to school really kills your soul.

Just had an argument with a friend over this. He claims that out of my group of friends he's the only one who can get a job after school because of his degree. He told me unironically that I'll be working at Starbucks or something and that he will have a high paying job within a couple of years.(we both have 1 year left)

me:
>Political science BA
>member of 3 uni clubs with high ranking position in 2 of them
>volunteering experience with political campaigns and cultural organizations
>speak multiple languages
>know people who work in the political field

Him:
>Economics BA
>no clubs
>no volunteering experience
>only retail work experience
>no network related to field of study
>uni-lingual

It's more likely that he's going to be working at starbucks and I'm going to have a job, right?

>>34818952
You'll both be working at starbucks.

Also protip: employers dont give a shit about university clubs.

>>34818952
Yeah, Economics isn't that great a field, anyway. Maybe he won't be working at a Starbucks, but he'll probably top out at a senior analyst position, in the long term, if he's any good at it.

Networking is much more important. I don't know about Political Sciences, though, so you may end up in a crappy job anyway (in terms of long hours, not-so-great-payment, etc). Better than Starbucks, though.

AND you have a social life, which is more important still

I did. Living that NEET life for ca. 6 years now. In that time I moved halfway around the world and just last March got married. Life is good.

I went for two years before failing almost every single class and dropping out. In the year since I've dropped I've worked about 3 months and still have $20k in debt. Still looking for a job but I've yet to get a call back.

My wife did, no pregnancy.

One thing that's become increasingly obvious to me over the last few weeks is how fucking retarded most people seem to be. Maybe it's because I'm at a middle-tier university (Reading), or maybe it's because of the pseudo-intellectual nature of my English Literature course, but it honestly feels like I'm in a room full of invalids most of the time. They gossip constantly like a bunch of fuckheads, they're the bureaucrats of tomorrow.

I used be sort of "scared" to play video games, don't know how to explain it. I play video games now but I need to have a video playing of someones voice in the background.

I haven't been getting shit done because of my sad brains but it's going okay so far.

On track to pursue a PhD., but still getting cold feet. I kinda want to do a MD/PhD. but meh.

It sucks busting ass and having second feelings about shit.

>>34820050

>>34819198
>>34819003
economics is basically just a business degree, that's the only reason I'm employed. My school had two economics disciplines, one for arts and sciences and the other in the business school. I joined the business school and it's the only reason I have a job

>>34818343
I dropped out of Uni because i got so depressed i started slipping. I had no friends, felt so alone and pressured for results i just couldn't handle it.

I got a job now, doing pretty well, and mentally i'm much better. I wouldn't want to go back no matter what. My life is boring, but at least i don't want to kill myself.

Still an undergrad but I'm in a program that fast tracks us to PhD. programs. Sorry to mislead, I'm not a PhD. student yet, but I could possibly be next fall if everything doesn't shit the bed. Or if I self sabotage.

Ideally, I want to perform a PhD. in molecular biology or immunology. I work in a fly lab and immuno lab currently. I think the major issues that can kinda stem (hah) is that I'm probably feeling impostor syndrome still. I'm kinda dogshit at bench work still but I have no problem with theory have the time. I just feel everyone in that program is an academic badass, while I just found myself floating into it. I can kinda kicked ass in classes, but I feel like I'm missing the "passion" that a lot if others hold.

I dunno, it's kinda like once a neet, always a neet, if that make sense. Meh...

not even. I was a C student and college is piss easy.

The ones who bitch about how hard college is were the straight A normies who think they have to memorize every single page in their textbooks. They spend most of their time trying to memorize text and fucking around with parties without trying to actually understand the material.

Thing is you don't even need 90% of your textbooks at all as long as you just fucking pay attention to the lectures from the damn teachers who are paid to teach you.

>>34821239
Thank you very much no anon. I really appreciate it.

Failed out here. Well, I didn't really fail out, they sort of kicked me out because they thought I was gonna kill myself. I mean I did too I guess. But here I am. Got a shitty job to pay the rent and bills but still need some help from the parents, which is kind of demeaning. Pretty sure I can get back in over the summer so at least I have that to look forward to, but man the past few months have been killers.

I rarely studied though. Alcohol and drugs were too much fun and my GPA suffered for that but I never got close to dropping out. I never even failed a class, even the hard ones that I hated I skated by in

No, no it's not. You don't start making the big bucks until you pass like 7 of the hardest tests you'll ever have to take in your life. I talked to one actuary who said that one year, for one of the tests he was taking, only like 20% of people passed it. Outside of that you have to do some of the most soul sucking work, usually working at least 50 hours a week. You'll have money, but you won't have the time to be able to enjoy it. It's a job you have to really like to put up with.

>>34821804
The tests aren't really hard in terms of knowledge intensity, especially if you're good with math (you should be as an actuary), but the volume is insane. Basically most of it comes down to memorizing vast amounts of models, which is boring rather than hard. The work itself is rarely over 40h a week, but also incredibly boring and with very little space for creativity, what's worse is that even most knowledge for exams is not really used. Reinsurers have some more interesting things going, but nothing mind-blowing so. In addition if you go on this track you better stick with it, because all the knowledge and experience of an actuary is virtually inapplicable anywhere else. The only exit opportunities is if you move into management inside your employer, which is rare for actuaries. Source: interned in an insurance as undergrad, contemplating actuarial career.

Also fucking kek at you for "working 50h a week = no time to enjoy life". This is some terminal neetdom.

Former accounting student here. Is it tax that's getting you? My parents wouldn't let me switch to another program until I failed tax 3 times.

Thank fuck I switched, I'm almost done my new program but I'm sick to death of school. I just want out, 10 fucking semesters and still no friends or girlfriend.

>>34822174
>failed tax 3 times.
I don't get how people fail classes. Do you guys just don't study? Are you just unintelligent? I feel bad for people who suggested with education. Education just always seemed to click for me, and I never really struggled with any class. Sure, some topics were harder than others, but they only required more time to master them

I dropped out of a UC because I wasnt passing my Stem courses. Dropped out and went to the CC nearby and want to go back into an engineering major at another uni. Im doing much better now and am passing my courses here at the CC. The courses are actually much more difficult here because it goes by a semester system rather than the quarter system at the UCs so theres more time added to the classes which means higher standards.

It also helps that my parents help me pay rent and I qualify for federal assistance so I get waivers.

>>34821998
that too, you gotta network anons!

it's hard with a liberal arts degree, but like I said, everything sucks and you gotta work toward it. just don't get a degree without first finding out its ROI. it'll make things easier. AND TALK TO YOUR PROFS. THEY'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS FOR YOU!

>>34822174
Yeah tax is really fucking me up. My professor is an asshole who thinks hes better than everyone else. He has his CPA and he worked for a lot of major companies in the past.

I just don't really like accounting anymore. I've thought about HR. It seems easier and I feel like I won't want to kill myself doing it. I know everyone here shits on HR, but it really can't be that bad, right?

I can see it as apathy for the subject being taught or some other factor, like mental health.

Anyone can get a C, if they put in some effort. It's the motivation that is primarily a driving factor I'm guessing.

A)Could not get into the material no matter how hard I tried
B)By the third time, I stopped caring since I knew I had no way to pass it and was really only there so I could fail it again and convince my parents to let me change programs.
C)The instructer was considered to be in the bottom 5, he'd teach and test completely different material and the instructor people liked always had their classes filled within seconds. I heard many stories of people taking the shit instructor, failing horribly regardless of effort, then getting in the class with the competent person and passing easily.

>>34822404
I'm sooo glad I didn't major in chem. Organic is dogshit boring. I miss my dumb general chem classes. Gimme math goddamnit.

I left because it was a waste of money. I've never liked school because I have no interest in anything schools have to offer.
Now I just work full time at a record store and have a few seasonal jobs on the side like snow plowing and package handling. I don't really care honestly. I like my job(s).

When I dropped out two years ago it was the best decision of my life. I wasn't ready to jump into a career at 22, and I wanted to dick around at my part-time job being a pseudo-NEET. Now I'm ready to go back because being poor sucks.

If you are doing a humanities degree DROP THE FUCK OUT. All its explanatory power has already been pretty much fucking mined out and there is fucking NOTHING in terms of ordinary jobs you can do with it. 70% of the people who took humanities at my russel group uni went on to be fucking BARMEN...

Dropping out isn't wrong if you got memed into a fucking degree. r9k might be an echo chamber to some extent but it gets the occasional thing exactly right...NON STEM DEGREES ARE A FUCKING MEME (unless its law or medicine or something) Just drop out now. Best decision I ever made.

You may be one of the rare exceptions: If you KNOW people in things politics related you may end up a MP's aide (or senatorial aaide or something if you're a merifag) but for the most part your friend is right.

Bio major, I need to finish my degree this year but I'm depressed and going crazy and have a lab practical in two days for a class I am retaking and am worrying I'll fail again. Can't focus on anything, I go to class and then go back to sleep within 2 hours of getting home. I force myself to run but lately I've been fatigued and my runs are getting slower and slower. Nothing is fun anymore.

I'll be 24 in a month and for some reason this feels like the cutoff point for when I'll officially be a virgin failure for life. Kinda lonely and empty now.

>>34823399

Stay strong, you got this. If you can study now, get a coffee and do it. Get the degree, it's almost done.

>virgin failure for life
Listen anon, bio is a good major assuming you don't end up being one of the failures who hangs around here blaming his inability to find a job on his major, you'll probably get something high paying. So stop worrying about women, at this point if you're a virgin at 24 the only thing that's left is used goods who will see you as a walking paycheck/beta provider. Don't be one of the faggots around here that lets being a virgin get him down over everything, just focus on getting you're degree done for now and you'll have plenty of time/money to do what you want soon, and if being a virgin is still bothering you for some reason then once you're done you'll be in the perfect position to swipe up a used up stacy, who realizes college is over and her looks are wearing out and can't carry her anymore, or the better option you'll have plenty of money for prostitutes.

Realistically whatever you enjoy or else you'll probably just end up burning out and dropping out or changing majors and wasting time. Just keep in mind STEM is easy jobs but arts/humanities are fine as well if you're willing to spend time interning and getting some decent references.

I don't feel bad about dropping out.

I'm on the verge of doing so. The last two semesters went well because I driven by my desire to transfer out of this shithole, but now that it's not financially viable option (it never was, but I was not yet forced to knowledge it), I've completely fallen apart. I just want to be done with it all.

Communications is going to give you more options, but if you have a decent idea of what you want to do go talk to your uni's councilors/advisors and ask them to go over the programs for both of those with you

This >>34827996 >>34828131 guy here.

This girl I'm talking about is special. The first day of class, I laid eyes on her, and it was like time stopped. My vision tunneled, my head spun, and it was right there I knew that this was the girl I was going to marry and spend the rest of my life with.

I've seen a lot of hot women in my life, and this was way, way deeper than that. I never understood or believed in the concept of love at first sight before that day last month. I know it sounds like bullshit, but it was some sort of near-spiritual feeling.

Then she starts talking in class and she's not only the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, but she's also brilliant, quick witted, and funny.

And then I overhear her talking to her friend about her boyfriend and I experience this weird dichotomy of suicidal pessimism and immense relief over the fact that my pathetic piece of shit avoidant, introverted, terrified-of-rejection self wouldn't have had a shot even if I had the balls to say something to her.

>Did you know any Japanese before you started taking classes in it?
No other than typical weebshit phrases which have never been useful. But the courses are designed to start you at nothing, first class spent the first 2 weeks learning hiragana, katakana and sounds then started picking up kanji mid semester.

>what's different between the major and minor?
Minor in japanese at my uni is, is 21 hours, 18 basic (so jap 1-6) then 3 advanced (a class of your choice). Whereas a japanese major is something like 39 hours of japanese then so many of "advanced hours", plus general uni requirements that all have to add up to something like 120 overall hours so most language students end up picking up a second language to fill time.

>>34828548
I felt similar feelings the first time I saw mine. She isn't conventionally cute but I'll be damned if she isn't the most beautiful girl I've seen in a long fucking time. When she walked into class and sat next to me my heart fucking melted. My face got red and I tried my best to focus on my professor but all I could think about was her. The only thing I'm good at in that class is sneaking peeks of her while she isn't looking.

Interesting. I would love to learn Japanese and have been looking for a minor. It would pair well with my major, too.

Shit scares me though. I took three years of German in high school, and even though I tried my hardest, I never really "got" it. If I couldn't grasp German, I'm sure that there would be no way that I would do well learning Japanese.

Maybe I'll try to take a class over the summer to see how shit goes.

>>34828884

You can do it anon, I was in a similar position with french, I took it for 3 years in hs and was somehow made teachers aide senior year and I really only passed because the teacher liked me. But I've done quite well in japanese because I have an active interest in it which makes me actually want to study, especially now that I'm getting to a point where I can read a lot of simpler shit. I've actually been talking to one of my professors lately and I plan on trying to study for the N1/2 after graduation and to get a job somewhere as a translator/localizer since I genuinely enjoy japanese but hate my major

post one of your works of art

I suffered a huge delusion when I changed uni. 80% percent of the classes wre garbage, the mood was terrible (80% female, very bitchy), suffered a lot from loneliness, didn't feel I belonged with these people, couldn't stand how poeple being 20-22 years old could be so disrespectful and really dumb.
I dropped out, I've been a NEET for 3 years now, leeching of my parents. In therapy for all that time as well, trying slowly to build up confidence again. I'm so very afraid of everything, of trying, of failing, of suffering thinking I don't belong anywhere.

I need help to create a feasible alternative to going to university.

Good luck with you goal, man. That's the dream right there. I have a buddy I grew up with who studied Japanese independently throughout high school, majored in it, and after graduating got a job teaching English to grade school kids near Tokyo.

He's married to this absolute qt, and he posts the most adorable pictures of his students on Facebook. They fucking worship him.

Will everyone ree at me if I post something uplifting?

I'm on my 4th semester at uni, and while I pretty much fucked myself by not studying/being retarded the first 3 semesters, I finally got put on adderall and am on top of things. My first 3 test grades have been an 85, a 90, and a 104, I do all of my work ahead of when it's due, I go to all of my classes, and other than the fact that sociology makes me want to rip my hair out and I have to struggle not to reveal my power level when we have discussions about """gender inequality""""" I'm doing alright. The only real problem is that I might graduate a semester or 2 late, but it's really not that bad since I went in with all but 3 of my GEP credits covered from classes I took in highschool. My only real problem is that during the week I feel like there's so little time to get shit done, but on the weekend I have such an overabundance of time that I always convince myself to put shit off until sunday. How do I stop doing this to myself?

I feel like dropping out of uni would be best for me mentally because my brainlet self can only take so much but there's no way I can pay of my current $60k debt right now. I'm nearly done with core courses and I only need 2 more years to complete the courses for finance. While that's going on I'm studying for my CCENT and CCNA. Originally I was doing CS but I had to drop it because I saw with my own eyes that there are things I just can't do no matter how much effort I put into it.

My academic life has been a fucking mess and I don't know how the fuck I could fix it. I feel like joining a military branch would be best but I know I won't put effort into it.

Yeah I've been roleplaying a former slave argonian who is out to kill every dark elf he sees for this whole semester

I went to about a year and a half of CC. Never took it seriously and took bullshit classes like Art History. I thought I was going to have a career in tennis and didn't give a fuck. As it turned out I wish I had applied myself more - might have been able to transfer to a State or UC. I'm happy with where I am now but it might have made a lot of the years since easier.

My first semester I failed 3/5 and barely passed another, ended with a 1.41 gpa which cost me my scholarship.

It's my second semester now, and I'm dropping after this semester.

>>34832346
You should probably drop out. If you can't make it through the first semester, you probably won't make it through the rest of them. No point in getting more debt

>>34832346

how do you fail out of "Psychology 101", buddo

>>34818343
I did fairly well in my first year of university even though I was taking courses like Introductory Real analysis. This was also with me only putting in 5 hours/week studying max.

In my second year I was harassed by another student who on various occasions called me a virgin, etc. I had a mental breakdown and deferred all of my exams until the following semester. The only thing that had kept me going through high school was the faint hope that things would improve in university. I felt demoralised and began failing classes.

I managed to graduate, but my degree is basically toilet paper. My gpa was shot so I couldn't go for a master's degree and I couldn't apply to entry level positions at companies that would ask for transcripts. That being said things are going OK now that I'm done with college. I have a realistic plan on how to improve my life but it will require a considerable amount of hard work and dedication. I also have a lot of regrets that I didn't reach anywhere close to my full potential, socially or career wise.

a cs degree is literally just to get through job screening. Everything is made up and the points don't matter. You build your own portfolio to prove that you aren't useless.

Then you go into a more specialized career where you learn everything on the job and use everything that you don't learn about in school.
Or go into something like systems analysis and be irreplaceable by pajeets

>>34833610
Ah, I know. I'll become a broke adjunct but it's okay. I'm in it for the helping people meme. Some of my professors were the nicest, most influential people in my life. One wanted me to go to seminary, and two wanted me to teach--maybe a passing on the torch kind of thing. It sounds corny, but I want to make them proud.

this is the real meme. it's funny because CS is one of the few majors left that actually has less graduates than job openings, although that may change soon. only soulless code monkey jobs are done by pajeet because nobody wants to do them.

Masters in either is meme degree desu. I know that is probably not what you want to hear. In the US library science majors end up working at tiny local branches and never doing anything because there are so few jobs. Int relations is really easy to make big money in if you have the right connections. But the entire job market seems based on networking, and really tight knit.

Kek. This is what happens when a society normalises plastic surgery.

Uni sucks. I went back to school to take some refresher classes cause my life's a mess and I thought it would be something to kill some time before applying to go for a masters. I already graduated with a worthless degree like 5 years ago. I forgot how much I hate uni. Plus 5 years of depression, meds, social isolation and alcoholism has fried my brain. I'm too stupid for the undergrad classes, failed my classes last term and in academic probation this term and on my way to failing this term. So much for grad school. Now I'm just half assing the classes until I can drop out in two weeks without my financial aid fucking me over. Two more fucking weeks of sitting through classes, donno if I'll survive it.

I've never been good with people, I like people talking to me and can make some conversation, but have never been particularily great with socializing to meet new people. I never like to use it as an excuse but I have diagnosed AS which I doubt has helped to a great amount, I'd rather keep shush then act like a complete twat.

I joined a uni about 3 years ago, and followed the course through for a couple months or so, and made sure to talk to a couple of people on the first day, all kinda similar interests but it got to a point where in group scenarios I was never asked for, and social rejection made me stop bothering since it was so different to secondary where I was good with everyone.

Everyone still believes I'm still attending, I followed all the course material myself so I can use it to maintain the facade. I want to reapply since I feel like I could do it easy but then it'd mean breaking cover and everyone who knows me would know I lied about everything for three years, I can't take that idea of disapproval or potential rejection by family or friends. I figure I'll continue bluffing until I can move far enough to be able to pursue my education and career without the knowledge of others. Keeping it all quiet is killing me, especially when everyone keeps saying how smart and proud of me they are.

>>34818343
I gradually started going less and less. Since I'm pretty good at IT, I keep getting through in any classes that had teachers who didn't care about attendance. It eventually got to a point that only the teachers who cared about attendance were left, so I started failing. Then I eventually stopped going altogether. It's been around 2 years now and I just want to die.

I don't think this would have happened if I had picked a major that I didn't already know everything college would teach me before I even stepped in. I also think it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't a fucking 2 hours travel that takes three different buses, totalling 4 hours travelling each day. Plus if the university itself was more organized.... there's no way to say how bad it felt to travel all that, get there and then have the fucking teacher's secretary come and say there's no class that day because the teacher has a stomach ache. Fuck.


Anyway, as I started going less and less depression started kicking it up a notch. I also couldn't get jobs, I couldn't even get INTERVIEWS, it fucking sucked. The only reason I didn't kill myself is because when I got to it I noticed I was just not brave enough to go through with it. I was too scared of fucking it up and ending up not-dead, which would be invariably worse. Or just stpoping midway because I couldn't handle the pain. Whatever.

So I spent the entirety of 2016 getting /fit/. It helped a ton. I'll be starting new college (last one was paid for by the government, so no debt yet), still related to math (which I'm good at), but nothing I already have mastered, so I'll get to learn. It'll be a private university which means it'll be organized and trying to please me, and it'll also be so close I can walk to it. If I fuck this one up, I'll have debts, but I hope I won't fuck it up.

Things are actually looking up right now, though. I don't think I'll ever be happy, but I'm okay with not being terribly sad.

Kill yourself smart-ass.

You don't belong here.

>>34822404
Fuck off, smart-asses like you shouldn't post here. This board is not for you.

>went to study abroad at a top 50 university
>got to study something I like
>get really homesick since it's the first time I've been away from home
>drop out after first year
>now stuck at a local uni that's basically one step above a community college doing a shit degree that I have no interest in

I really want to drop out a second time, but the first time pretty much ruined my life and doing it a second time would make it much worse I'm sure. I just want to die.

Uh you now CS pays a good amount right? I'll be interning and making 7k monthly.

undergrad microbiofag here

there are two types of bio in a lot of unis including mine, the branch with evolution/ecology and the molecular branch

with the molecular branch, memorization won't get you shit in the upper division classes and professors make it a point not to waste time memorizing (of course there is still a bit of memorization with all learning) but to instead do problem solving and conceptual understanding of biological processes

btw this was over 12 hours ago, but the other guy is correct.
It's monolingual for a person who knows one language. Unilingual (without hyphen) means concerning or regarding one language.

Got an exam today, and another one tomorrow. Haven't studied for either, and it's my last chance. I guess I'll be dropping out after this.

I just finished college a a few days ago. I sat my final exam and was told I passed since it was done in a spoken/interview style.

I have an overall plan, but right now I'm in limbo. The semester is starting for everyone else and I draw more inwards, into my room.

I made a few acquaintances, some I might even call 'friends'. Never got a gf, of course, too much of a coward to try. I learned some good stuff and even got a few job connections.

Feels dead inside, though somehow, actually pulling through with it gives me some solace ; two years ago I was on the verge of dropping out and in panic over the looming pile of coursework.
At least it's over. For better or for worse. Now to get the rest of my shit together.

I have.

In the Army now. Things aren't much different.

>employers dont give a shit about university clubs.

Depends on the club. There are clubs that are specifically geared to looking good for employment. Although, most of these type of clubs are part of more employable programs. This is especially true if the club gets you internships.

I just did a medical withdraw from all my second semester classes because I'm still feeling effects from getting mono a couple months ago.
I'm going back either in the summer or September, but for now I'm happy because I can just train and be healthy. I don't even need to get a job yet but maybe I should look into a summer job at least.
