Failed 2 tests out of 4 from midterms week. One of which I failed really badly that I can't even salvage it with a solid A on the final. Then I have to study for the standardized test coming up in two months, write up a personal statement, get letter of recommendations which I have no professor to ask to, and also finish the leftover assignments assigned right before spring break.

I'm falling apart.

>have to stay extra semester
>got internship offer but they want me to work part time and its an hour away

On another note, I am getting really sick of the libtards and numales here.

Start a hard as fuck unit tomorrow. Last 3 weeks were easy and we had spring break. I just want to keep playing vidya and barely studying

I know the feel too well. He's not a chad but I had a pretty solid crush on one of my best friends here for most of last semester. Shit sucks but the only thing you can do is either suppress your feels and try to find someone other than him to crush on, or come out to him and almost definitely fuck up the dynamic you've had with him so far. I can't lie and say I don't still have a bit of a crush on my friend, but with a little work the situation is much more bearable than it was before

I wasn't going to do this out of laziness, My anxiety is going through the roof after my friend dropped out. I'm one of the only people who sits on their own and I'm worried I'll get a University-wide reputation for being a loner.


But yeah, I probably can't trust myself with home-learning.

>>35642791
Studying for a statistics final exam. This is a big one, because I must recieve an 81% or above in the class for it to feed in to my major requirement. I have done very well on the quizzes and homework, but they are only 40% of my grade. This one exam is worth 60%. I'm going over the review problems that the professor posted. Today is also a bad day because I have been overeating from stress, so now I must fast tomorrow and Wednesday, which will make concentration even more difficult. Fuck college, I just want to work the graveyard shift somewhere, so I don't have to interact with anyone. As long as I can afford a cheap apartment; adequate food, and internet access, I will be alright

things can get better for you if you put in the effort and push yourself out of your comfort zone

>>35645047
Have you ever felt that high you get when you do something great? Something you know you achieved due to working hard despite people telling you you'd never make it, your own doubts/laziness, or your diminished time?

Once you feel it, you'll want to chase it. That's a good way to be motivated.

>>35645047
It's so difficult telling someone how to get more discipline, it's a meme answer but you literally just have to do it. Start small if you have to, like twenty or thirty minutes daily, but you just need to start forcing yourself to study every day and try to find ways to enjoy it. It's rough starting out but when you get momentum going you'll feel a lot worse for letting a day go by that you're not studying/learning than a day that you do the thing

>>35645047
I have no clue. I study semi consistantly myself and sometimes I go to midterms or even finals without being prepared at all. When I do study, I do well.

I guess you'll have to rely on the hope for a better and brighter tomorrow.

Why do I always loose all of my friend at the end of school/work/uni....

>university-wide reputation for being a loner
Kinda hard to build a reputation if no one knows who you are. I mean, in high school, everything is a bit more personal, and you recognize everyone by the end of it, so a loner is easy to spot. But in uni, there are so many people all doing their own thing, that you can go through, and people won't even know you exist until you introduce yourself to them, and even then they have their own complicated lived to worry about. Even social people will go to classes alone or study alone most of the time. You'll just blend in to the wood finish if anything.

Ou have to push through that to get what really matters; achieving your goal.

I'm looking forward to dropping out. Only reason I enrolled was the hope of meeting friends and maybe even a girl, but now I realize it's never going to happen.

I enrolled in five classes this past quarter and am passing them all with grades of 90+. Drowning myself in schoolwork seems a great way to propel myself forward while giving me an excuse for the antisocial introvertedness.

One of the classes was psychology and we had to take the Myers Briggs MBTI test then get into groups of the same type. I got INTP like always and naively looked around for anyone else in a class of 36 who got the same. I was alone but a Stacy was nice enough to leave her large group to come talk to me. It hurt, I hate that I still affectionately remember that event even though it was many weeks ago, and I'm afraid I will continue to remember it for many more.

As someone who literally did not talk to anyone or go to any clubs for 2 years at a commhnity college, but then went to a 4 year joined 1 club and made like 30 genuine friends, I can tell you no, it does not get better if you don't go out.

>>35648176

well then that's how that happens I guess. In my experience you either A) do the work and write the final and get straight Bs or B) don't do the work or don't write the final and fail. I hear SO many kids around campus talking about how they're on academic probation and I don't get it. You have to flunk like your entire semester. Why would you keep going at that point?

3 semesters of that shit for language classes. I would propose meeting up at the library or on skype well in advance to discuss what kind of video we should do, and the normies would insist on doing the whole thing in an afternoon 2 days before it was due. Then our project would be shit and I had to throw them under the bus on the post-project questions to save my own grade.

I know man, I've had a good few months where I hardly left my apartment (lectures are optional).
I thought I could get more work done if I just slept all day, and stayed in bed all night doing school work.
I just ended up depressed and engaging in 12 hour + shitposting binges. I'm still trying to recover from that and get back to a healthy and productive schedule.

just dropped calc 2 and will have to retake during summer..only have 1 one class now. physics with calculus 1. have a B in it..in the meantime I'll start from chapter 1 on calc 2 and master the content before class starts in 2 months. Is this a good plan?

anyone not having a horrible time? any tips?

You can't choose your roommate? You can't choose to live alone?

Literally what the fuck.

You guys really don't want a girlfriend. Women are awful and they will only hold you back in your attempts to do your best in academia and in life...which you owe to yourselves to do.

You will lose your freedom
You will lose your individuality
If you've got your own place and you invite her to live there you will be living with your mother again

idk maybe my gf just sucks but desu boys they're much, much, much more hassle than they are worth and one owes it to oneself to be able to enjoy themselves alone. in the end, one will likely rely on oneself more than anyone else for entertainment and being in a relationship seems to atrophy that quite a bit

I just don't get it, I put in work and am always one of the few that does well with tutorial questions, homework tasks and mid semester exams yet take home assessments everyone somehow does amazingly well despite seeming to do fuck all throughout the semester

Do the majority of normies just have someone they know who did the subject last year who gives them a copy of their assessments to work off? I know the international students often get caught for online assessment writing services

Pretty much everyone abuses old exams. Pre-meds have entire clubs set up just to circulate exams so they don't have to put in any effort. This is why you can see lazy professors have a test one semester with an average score of 20% and then the next semester the average is an 85% with the exact same test and material provided.

You should find something similar. It WILL get you in shape if you stick with it, but you have to go into it with an honest desire to get fit and feel good. It was a bit awkward for me when I first joined the club, but I've found that the club members of the clubs that I've joined have been really inviting.

>>35652994
You're either not working as hard as you think you are, you're not retaining the information due to not being as smart, or you may go to a school where that type of activity is common (but it's probably not)

>>35654200
That sucks. Are you also lazy? Cause usually brainletness can be overcome by hard work, but most people here are pretty lazy, so I'm guessing that's unlikely.

last day to drop is soon (friday) I am kind of thinking about it, but then I need to take it over summer. But that might get in the way of me taking any internships if I need to do that. Might also prevent me from taking heat transfer this summer as well if I can't take this equivalent course during the maymester

wat do? Do I have a chance?

I'm pretty down. Just got into a new tv show at the same time returning for spring break. I have 2 tests on Thursday that I have yet to study for and I have to decide if I want to gamble with dropping a class this semester after still not receiving my exam score that I've been waiting on for 2 weeks as that would make the decision much clearer.

The only thing that makes me happy is my new show and when I'm lifting, school has completely sucked the life out of me and forced me to shelter myself and not do anything but study. Had to uninstall vidyas that I love and play with friends because they were too much of a distraction. Man I can't wait for fucking summer.

Memes aside what are you trying to say here? Loads of women will demand more attention from you than one can even give, it's a pretty common thread amongst people who are in long term committed relationships. As for losing your individuality you'll be making plenty of compromises and you'll likely find that for the most part YOU'LL be making the compromises.

Its too fucking expensive and im not spending another 4+ years in school with 300k debt. Should I just finish out my degree or try to switch it to something that could actually get me a job? (computer science,business, etc). Biology seems pretty worthless without a masters or phd. What the fuck do i do

>>35656192

I used to do it to self-medicate my social anxiety and it spun out of control real fast. The semester I started drinking before classes was the same semester I basically flunked out now that I think about it.
I remember sitting in class and not being able to read the chalkboard because I was seeing triple, and stumbling on the stairs of the building and a girl having to help me stand up. It was pathetic.

Going back to school in the summer and I actually am pretty excited. My major is bullshit but at least I'll have fun studying it.

>>35657079
It's for a speech class and the professor grades hard as hell. I'm not one for public speaking, but even on a speech I thought I did really well on, I only managed an 89.

I have to present the topic as well as 3 contested talking points about the topic to my class and then follow that up with a few discussion questions. I could BS it fairly easily, but I have to present it based on an outline (that I haven't created yet) and it has to follow a very specific style of public speaking.

I'm going to grad school and as things currently stand my options are: Texas A&M, U of Pittsburgh, Penn State, U of Kentucky, and Florida State. Can any anons who've gone to these schools give me insight on what it's like? Of those schools, the only I've visited is Texas A&M.

>>35657135
Oh yeah, I never got above 90, but I don't give a shit because as long as I can get through that bullshit talking then we're all good. The worry is not making it through at all.

>as long as I can get through that bullshit talking then we're all good
I fucking feel you, man. I need this class to graduate, and it's the last class I'll ever take at my uni if I pass. I just hate making an ass of myself in front of all those people. I feel like I've spoken more often in this one class in half a semester than I had in two years of college.

I'm on acomputer science course. I'm super interested in theoretical CS, but most of the modules that pertain to that are only available to year four (masters) students.

I'm considering switching to the integrated masters course so I can study what I actually have an interest in.

Is this a bad idea?

>>35657426
following your dreams/interests is never a bad idea

>>35657553
Is it now? Are you sure?

>>35657569
as long as you're determined enough to keep up with the increased workload you'll most likely get.
if you're that much on the fence about it you can always ask your academic counselors or whatever if there's anyway to back out of it once you've started it

>>35657605
I talked to my tutor about it and he said it's a good idea if that's what I want to learn.

The only reason I'm hesitant is because literally everyone I know is just here to get the qualification so they can get a job, whereas I'm just here to learn about what I'm passionate about.

I don't know if switching is a dumb idea - maybe it's smarter to take the bachelors and try to find a job.

I also have no idea if theres any jobs that deal with theoretical CS outside academia. All I know is I don't want to be a code monkey.

>>35657675
even if you do take the masters course you should still end up with a computer science degree.
as for theoretical CS, i honestly don't know anything about it but that sounds more like a research oriented field.
i still say go for what you'd like to do rather than what will make you money. and if what you want to do makes money then it's just a bonus

This guy gets it.

80 years ago universities were a way for the children of the elites to network with each other. Sometime around 1970, baby boomers came along and started the "everybody has to go to college" meme. This worked for a time as universities conferred a great deal of prestige and it's graduates were seen as a cut above the rest.

For the last 10 or so years the "everybody has to go to college" system appears to have broken down and college no longer provides a good ROI.

>>35660140
The college meme started as a way for the government to disguise youth unemployment numbers. The government had a choice: Stop jobs people could get right out of high school from leaving or prop up a massive college bubble? Of course, like the cynical cunts they are, took the easy way out.

It's good you realise that you're not learning anything. You should drop out of that program before you waste anymore tuition getting a degree that will Never pay itself back.

Never choose your major with the expectation that you're going to off yourself before you graduate. You might accidentally make it all the way through.
