How the fuck you survive uni? I had my first day in school (STEM

I'm just gonna start day drinking

>>18666812
I'm sitting in my car because I don't have anything to do for an hour and a half but I don't want to lose my parking spot. This is greeeeaaaaat.

Think that you are now on the way to be above of 80% of the world population.

But why is it depressing ? Is it too hard ?

>>18666815
not op, but in that room full of engineers I felt like the biggest loser there.

>>18666812
>it was already depressing as fuck.
Why?

>>18666815
yeah and in the top 0.5% best ranking universities.That just means that people expect more in the future.

There is just nothing to do. Science has gone so far that there is nothing interesting or significant to do. The whole "party and connect" system is for people who are already successful and that does not include me.

Gosh, why the fuck did I even apply.

>>18666818
>Science has gone so far that there is nothing interesting or significant to do
dumba$$

>>18666819
i think he means technological impact on our daily lives and contributing something halfway meaningful instead of finding a new way to market pringles made of toxic waste to a bunch of suckers.
of course it's probably not true, but there is a widening cliff between the people dictating the future and those being more or less useless, and the pressure to arrive at the other side is a lot to handle.

>>18666812
find a gf. without a gf, uni is impossible. I almost killed myself my first two years until I started getting my dicked sucked every other day. a girl's wet mouth is the best path to academic success.

>>18666820
Exactly.

Most likely me like most others will end up in some safe job in some midrange revenue company and spend time there doing some small adjustments, fixing other people's mistakes and drinking coffee.

Even if one invents something new or revolutionary it will probably be forgotten in year if not less.


>>18666821
I'd love to but I haven't never been even close to a relationship and chances getting a gf are measured in per millions.

>>18666822
>chances getting a gf are measured in per millions
only now that I am out of college and not constantly around thousands of horny young girls (in your class, many of which are virgins) with every excuse to talk to get to know them do I see how fucking retarded that mindset is

it's a bit like being nervous for giving a speech in high school but maybe you're still too close to that. man... just saying... if I could be where you are now

>>18666814
Parking at my university is a complete and utter joke, so I would never leave my spot, I just spend hours sitting in the halls shitposting on 4chan in between classes

>>18666823
I just let them go because there are better catches for them out there. I even sometimes mentally try to think some good pairs and if given a possibility try to make that pairing happen for the hypothetical couple

I am pretty convinced given my years of life that no serious relationship works and only fwb-style things are more for the hip and the cool. Also getting a girlfriend requires that your life is in rather good condition or even casual and not ripped apart without hobbies or friends.

But who is to judge. Maybe there is some higschool-level underage-grade thinking going on too.

>>18666818
>Science has gone so far that there is nothing interesting or significant to do.

That is probably the stupidest thing I have ever read on this board. I'd say stupidest on this site but /x/ exists. Get a better handle on reality you daft double-plus tard.

>>18666826
At the individual level it holds, just saying.

>>18666814
>>18666824
how the fuck do you stupid pieces of shit have time to shitpost between classes/just sit in your fucking car? go study and do your work/read ahead in the chapters of your classes. get ahead on your work.

what the fuck am I reading

>>18666827
No it doesnt. 15 years ago, I couldn't imagine having a phone that's as powerful as some laptops with dsl or better Internet everywhere I go.

In another 15 years, we could say massively automated systems, giving us more access to better services.

>>18666829
Yes augmented reality, men on mars, flying electric cars and so on. The point is your contribution will be small. Even your whole family's input is near nothing. also bear in mind that all these 'advances' comes great security risks and reliance only on the most modern services.

>>18666827
I suppose from his current perspective it might, but he is naive. If he's just started his undergrad then he knows so little about science and technology that he cannot currently fathom the state of science and how far it's gone and, more importantly, how far it can go. He cannot even imagine what sort of advances are possible and what will have a large impact. He doesn't know anywhere near enough to even know what could be interesting.

He does not have the knowledge to support that claim. He's welcome to make it and believe it, but if he wasn't so shortsighted he'd realize that he cannot support it with anything other than misplaced feelings.

>>18666828
>work at the beginning of the semester
Maybe it's because I'm undergrad but hue anyways

>he fell for the stem meme

Uhhhh fourth semester and no problems so far.

You guys are a bit too dramatic. Learn to enjoy the eternal battle to find a place to Park your car. Enjoy your free time drinking a nice cup of coffee between classes and listening to Floyd, because in the future you're not going to have time to even breath.

College is not eternal depression and suffering like highschool. You just need to get used to it.

>>18666859
Also, contributing to the world is overrated. Society can go to hell. Don't work towards a bright path to humanity. Work to earn money and satisfy your inner instincts. Buy a guitar. Buy another guitar. A car, expensive tasty food, idk, find small reasons to live. My recommendations are a gf/bf and alcohol.

>tfw switched from Comp Sci/Philosophy to Comp sci minor and Philosophy/Poli Sci because I couldn't get interested enough in CS to study enough for it
F-fuck STEM n-nobody wants to do that Indian tier work

>>18666885
you go to uni to learn, you can contribute before going to uni, while you are at it, or after... what does this have to do with the OP?

>>18666818
>>18666820
m8, go read about, say, materials physics, or the new research on genetic manipulation, or the new cancer treatments, or whatever. there is A LOT of good science to contribute to the society. and if you want something more direct, there is engineering, which is... applied science. or medicine, or simply keep. it's YOU who decides what to do with your knowledge.

>>18666827
>>18666829
aha, so you want to be recognized, not just contribute to society...
from what I can see, science has always been a social process. you stand on the shoulders of giants

Study and practice.

If you mean survive uni without going insane or still having friends?

Sacrifice grades for social interaction

>>18666812
welcome to the uni life anon. start drinking and studying before you start really hating life.
