I am soon to be college freshman in Faculty of electrial engineering and computing, the best and hardest in my country.

What would /fit/'s advice be? What should I do, what should I not do?

I hope I would be amongst the top alphas out there, because we all know what kind of crowd is attracted to engineering.

My current stats all 3x5:

ohp 50 kg

bench 80 kg *took a deload*

squat 120 kg

deadlift 140 kg

Take advantage of a fresh social start, assuming that your school is not near where you grew up. Do at least 1 thing every day that scares you (socially, physically, whatever) as long as there won't be permanent damage.

don't get so caught up in working out that you forget to improve your personality and make sure you are a likeable person to be around

befriend as many people as you can
>>
Take as many internships as you can and start taking them as soon as you can. Join clubs or something similar to learn how to work in a team. Socialize with people from different courses. Try to make some good friends, they'll go a long way.
>>
>>38125497

Keep to your diet and training schedule. Redesign that schedule based around your classes every semester.

Wake up early on weekdays and get all your studying done before your classmates wake up.

Go out and do fun stuff Friday night (and afternoon and evening if no class) even if you don't want to. Just to stay connected to people and so you don't get bouts of "I'm a lonely nerd" feels on Sunday.

Set aside a firm timeslot every week where you fix everything that went wrong during the week - missed lifts, lack of good nutrition, missed study time, apologizing to that friend you vomited on, whatever it is. Set aside at least two, preferably three hours to fix shit.

Use a watch or phone alarm to track your study time. Otherwise you spend the last fifteen minutes checking the clock every ten seconds instead of focusing.

Getting a good internship or other summer job related to your field will do far more for your career than perfect grades. Grades matter, but if you know the right people and have the right experience then a few B's or C's will not hurt your first job. Grades mean absolutely nothing after your first job. Focus more on knowing people and knowing your field.

Don't try to learn Mandarin.

Recognize when you're actually tired and won't be able to focus. Stop and go do something else, preferably sleeping. Contrast to when you're just in need of a change of pace. Go somewhere else and study a different subject, or lift, or something; it's hard to start but easy to keep going once you begin.

>bleh study

The reason I focus so much on study shit with only small bits about your social life is that you want sustainable alphadom. Study in the morning and you have time to socialize in the afternoon and evening. Be successful after school and you can continue to pull better and better girls. Staying consistent and keeping your shit together means you're less tired and less stressed, which keeps you in the right frame of mind to be alpha.

Engineers are the Chads of STEM.

EE, not so much but there are some bros in it nonetheless. I've finished 2 years in it and am in it for the sake of graduating on time and reaching the promised land of earning 6 figs while doing nothing all day.

If you have a girlfriend, break up with her before you go.

Current senior in EE here. From my perspictive it doesn't really matter if you're EE, CS or CE(computer) any one can do the jobs of the others. Been interning for the DoD for about a year and all I've done is stuff with software/programming and I have taken 0 programming classes

yeah, I was originally gonna be CS but then someone told me that you don't need a CS degree to do any programming. This EE degree is pretty hard but I feel it gives me a lot more options than CS.

Junior in CS here

I go to a somewhat high ranking party school so my department is not as full of virgin dyels as other schools. I still feel among the top of the engineers/cs kids though, heres what I do

>Groom/dress yourself as if you're going to meet the love of your life that day
this alone puts you above 50% of them
>lift, get jacked
puts you above 80% of them
>make an effort to talk to the cuties in your class/don't be awkward with girls/be sociable
these will put you among the alpha of engineers, so long as you're decent looking too.
>>
Do a cycle of steroids, dont be a douche, study, try ro maintain a splid diet. Aftet a year youll be rolling in pussy of you follow my advice

Not skip class to sleep in and try harder to establish a firm base early on instead of forcing myself to ball out as a senior and get straight As in everything to compensate for shitty early grades.
>>
>>38125939
>Engineers are the Chads of STEM
Try CS majors. Jack of all trades with enough all around knowledge and enough computer skills to take anyone's job. They can learn how to automate the shit you do with a weeks worth of work.

They can only pick up stuff designed by others and then throw some programming on top. Good programming though.

Build bridges before burning them. Every girl you hit on, wether bang or not, is a burned social connection which could lead up to many more connections. Join an organizator society or someshit, idk how it works in your country but basicly either be part of the group which throws the parties, or befriend many people from that group. From there just make bridges, you will have a free lay here and there like a super drunk girl, very shy nerdy girl; but once you are the frame of party, burning bridges will be hella easy and fun and you can just bang all beatiful girls.

Resist garbage food like pizza and chinese. Eat if offered but never order fpr yourself. Keep lifting; SS, brosplit, Oly, anything. Just lift, eat clean, and socialize.

Yep, and EEs are more likely to be faggots.

How many smelly pajeets are EEs? How many losers who overachieve on design projects because they feel that it a competition? How many EEs take the hardest courses offered in the major to prove something (because they have nothing else)?

Pointing out that there are exceptions to my rule doesn't mean that it is wrong.
>>
>>38129234
As an aus EE can definitely agree, only just started lurking fit because I feel even just a small improvement in muscle mass will put me above 90% of the student body in my field. I usually gym about once a week but currently trying gomad and ss to bulk up a bit.
>>
>>38129234
>Damn overachievers!

Actually that's exactly what it means

>drop out
>join Marines

If i joined as a college freshman in 2008 I'd have a 5 year leg up on where I am now having joined in 2013, so id have 8 years of service i probably would be a Sergeant working towards staff and would've gotten to participate in actual combat and not the bullshit peacekeeping I had to do nowadays as a 25 year old "junior" marine with no promotions in sight. Also id have like 120k in savings from dat sweet deployment money (made close to 6 grand in 7 weeks last year on an op, multuply that into 7 months each deployment and then multiplied by 2 or 3 deployments)

Or on the flip side maybe I'd be out and using the GI bill right now to and own a house using the VA home loan

Also, I would find my wife back in 2008 and start dating her back then so that way we could have spent even more time together.... plus id be 17 and she'd be a tight hot 15 year old and that'd be cool legally

Pic related my wife when she was in high school, I'd be smashing that as a 17 year old combat veteran

Fellow engineer here. Enjoy your freshman year because during sophomore and junior year you will lose your gainz and stats due to shitty food because you have no time and you won't be able to go to the gym often because of school. It gets real hected.

It's worth it though. Get that wallet gainz buddy you can get back on the /fit/ after that sophomore and junior years.

Focus on school first man. No joke. Get those walled gainz while you can.

nothing is sacred, not even tradition.

Join a frat. Free Pussy and it's of "friends." Become an officer and drive your frat towards a more community service centered organization so you aren't just alcoholics. After you've made sufficient ground you can go alum and cozy up to the local politicians you made deals with in your service tenure if you weren't stupid.

I have a 5 year enlistment so all my buddies are getting out soon and leaving me behind to deal with the bullshit. We got our first female in the battalion ever last Monday. Our BC is a hard charger though and makes all new joins grapple when they arrive to the battalion. This female captain got her fucking ass kicked by some grunt lieutenant fresh out of infantry officer school. I can almost guarantee the equal opportunity and hazing lawsuit are already underway right now

Graduated last December. I've lived life in college and post-college, and can assure you that life is fun if you make the most out of college and get a good start after college. Here are some tips:

>1. Dress well and groom yourself.
Buy good clothes that fit you well. Enough to last the week. Get a good haircut. >>>/fa/ should have some good advice. This is important because you will want professors and administrators to be impressed by you (thereby getting you invited to prestigious & exclusive events), you want cool guys to invite you to hang out with them, & obviously because you want girls to check you out even more. Seeing your stats, I can tell that you have a good physique so I won't bother telling you that.

>2. Study
You want to get good grades to get an excellent job after you graduate and to possibly get into a great graduate programme afterwards.

>3. Go out at least once a week.
Twice or thrice is ideal. Go out, talk to as many guys and girls as you can. Guys will invite you to their parties, girls will hook up with you. Being one of the 'cool' kids is amazing.

>4. Find a clique.
Ideally cool guys and attractive women. They usually hang out together in college, so it's not that hard. If your country has fraternities, I'd join one.

>5. Find a hobby
You have a lot of free time in college. Find a hobby and stick with it (lifting doesn't count). Read books, learn an instrument, learn a new language, do whatever you like. Your mind is still young enough to absorb new things.

Other than that, don't (over)do drugs, don't drink too much, don't hang out with losers, and don't panic if you flunk a class.
>>
never start drinking so i dont get raped
>>
>>38125497
>You are now back as college fresmhan. What do you do?

I keep a rigorous study schedule, M-F, and keep my weekends free for social events.

You are there to study. So study.
>>
>>38130925
Anon I am sorry to hear that dude. Did u at least report it? There is no shame in doing so, too much rape of males goes unreported and unpunished
>>
I would recommend software engineer over electrical engineer. My brother graduated with engineering and makes 80k, I graduated with Finance and make 80k but I put in like 3 hours a quarter and her put in like 50 a week. SDEs at the big tech firms make more than 6-digits so they blew both of us out of the water

As for your social life, sorry m9 that shit is all learned from time and experience, no way around that. Just put yourself out there and start living your life
>>
>>38130948
yea i went to the police and they didnt do shit then i went to the school and i was starting to eat again (i lost 20lbs) until then they brought charges against me based on her side of the story. also all of our friemds took her side and all of them say the didnt even see me fucking drinking. they literally took me out drinking for my birthday. im a shut in otherwise(besides lifting). ill find out next week if theyre going to kick me out of school or not. honestly i might go full sjw if they do
>>
>>38130937
you must be fun to be around
>>
>>38131358
he's talking in retrospect faggot. it's honestly not bad advice either
>>
I wouldn't have done much differently. Maybe I was a bit too quiet in the first term but other than that my fresher year was great, especially towards the end.

Other than that, maybe drink less Frosty Jacks. That was vile.
>>
Don't get back together with your gf when you break up, at least not for a long time.

Take a gap year to work on yourself and improve work ethic. Go into college with a reason to go to class instead of "my parents will be disappointed if I don't."

Begin lifting. Eat right.

Do everything else mostly the same.

I'm 1 year from EE degree now after doing 6 years working for sam after 8 years doing jack shit. When I first did college right out of high school I lasted about 3 semesters. Bad grades had a much bigger impact on my life than anything pussy I smashed, I can tell you that.

It's like night and day. Now I have a 4.0 gpa taking 17-18 hours every semester but all I do is keep up with homework and start assignments early (so if it's hard, you have time to finish). I do little to no extra studying. It turns out these courses are actually designed so all the kids that don't know how to work will average a C. For an adult, it's not even a challenge. It's so easy I can barely believe that I used to fuck up on shit like this.

Back in the day I used to look down on overachievers "guys who graduate summa have no lives, fuck that I don't wanna be them" but now I'm actually about to be one of them, and I've found that I still have plenty of free time. Way more than I had in the fucking navy at any rate.

A lot of guys here are telling you not to prioritize grades. Thing is, success is a habit. Don't skate through life.
