>As for me, my parents just divorced in front of my eyes. Now I'm not sure how to pay for school. Before they were funding 100% of it and I'm stressing about having to take out loans now.

Is any one parent in particular funding the majority of your schooling? Without substantial evidence I'd assume they wouldn't throw your education down the toilet.

>>36080027
Well no. But one of my parents isn't in the greatest of shape and I have no idea whether or not they'll keep their job. With that being said, I'm halfway done and I imagine that I might qualify for financial aid this coming semester, and along with my scholarship it might not put me into a substantial amount of debt at the end of it all. I just hate this situation.

Anyone here doing night classes? like 5:30pm or later? I just looked up courses for next semester and the only ones available are those times.

>>36080539
I have not. Is this at your uni?

>>36080539
i have one night class that meets once a week for 3 hours. it fucking sucks considering I have class that same day from 8-2, have a small break, then have to come back.

I miss academic life.

I've starting looking for adjunct teaching positions to apply to.

4 essays due on monday. Yippee, should be a fun weekend.

>>36079399
Guys...

I miss uni. I want to go back. I didn't have to do anything but study. I hated it at the time "Omg so much work, more work than having a job"

It's true, but that wasn't work it was fun. Then again I'm probably just looking back with rose tinted glasses. Grass is always greener

At 23 is it too late to go back to university for a masters?

I am in love with this girl that goes to tutoring

Shes a qt bio major and about to graduate and leave forever

>>36081940
Are you qualified for it or do you need a bachelor degree? Either way as long as you pay it's never too late. Some spend their whole life in uni.

Not having healthcare and experiencing awful physical symptoms from anxiety - from muscle spasms to chest wall pain and weird breathing - is taking a toll on my studies. How can I get on Medical/Medicaid on my own before Trump fucks it up for us?

>>36079399

Had an analytical Chem II test today and fairly certain I didn't do as well as I would have liked to, I mean on the good side I definitely wasn't the only one who had issues, fuck NMR. At least now I've got a few weeks of relatively little to do, have to start working on this seminar I have to present though. Only like 15 days of class left thank god, this semester has been a pain in the ass, never take three upper level chemistry courses at the same time.

Writing an honor's thesis. Grades are slipping in my classes. Got accepted at Cambridge for grad school but I'm anxious as fuck about it and I don't want to leave cause I think I'm falling in love with my girlfriend but I'm also anxious about parting ways with her so I'm kind of starting to behave like an asshole toward her and I can't really control it and I think it's driving her away.

thank christ I don't have too much homework this weekend man i need a break

>>36081986
Them superimposed peaks

>>36082023

I can analyze basic proton NMR stuff just fine, it's the actual theory behind NMR that's a bit hard to understand.

I fucking hate calc 2 with my professor. She's unnecessarily too hard on us. Expects us to remember the second order diff eqs formulas for solving for C from the characteristic equation, the simpsons and midpoint shit even though she hasnt taught that in months and random first order linear shit. God I just want to finish undergrad math already. Is linear algebra, multivar and diff eqs harder than calc or does it get easier?

>>36082041
Are you taking a grad class? I just had the basic courses as of now and didn't find it complicated (spin mag moments second order effects etc). Are there weird shielding/coupling going on with unusual solvents and complex molecules?

Starting to realize that I might not make it into grad school, and trying to think of what to do if that plan doesn't work out.

Also kind of sad about how ugly I am and how all the other girls here are much more beautiful than me. Right now I'm in the process of losing weight so I can be smaller even though I'm already underweight.

What's everyone majoring in?
I'm doing physics and compsci

>>36082113

Nah, this is just a 3000 level class. It's just that we've had so much content for this last test it was kind of hard to keep up with everything, I understood some of NMR, but there was a lot to everything we studied about it and I guess I just had trouble fully grasping it all.

>>36082041
>upper level chemistry class
>basic proton NMR
pick one.

but in all seriousness, what don't you understand? The higher level stuff is miserably complicated but the basic theory isn't too inaccessible.

>some dumbfuck loser brags about his straight As in his physics upper level courses on yikyak thinking the rest of us dont know that its literally the class average

These petty brainlet normies

>>36082151

I just had a bit of trouble remembering some things he asked about on the test, I didn't do that bad with it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't explain spin-spin coupling that well.

>>36082120

I find spectroscopy courses are the most deceptives. The content is easy and usually have no problem following in class. But there is so many things to learn by heart you have to do all the practice exams or you're fucked.

>>36080539

Most of my classes are centered around the afternoon

>Start at 10:00AM MWF
>Start at 11:00 TR

Feels good not having an 8am or 9am

>>36082211

I honestly did a lot better with all the spectroscopy material. I understood mass spectrometry without much issue.

>>36081980

What kind of spectroscopy course are you taking? I took something like 6 classes in spectroscopy and three of them make up the three most miserable classes of my life.

>Here's an atomic emission spectra
>Extract these 20 constants and tell us what they mean

>>36082235
The concepts are easy, knowing every exceptions and rules for specific group, configuration and environment is draining though. Anyway I should sleep, I happen to have an NMR related test tomorrow morning.

>>36082287

I'm in law, so raw score means nothing. If you get 99/100 and everyone else in the class gets 100, you get an F. Fucking sucks.

>>36082265

He might be referring to undergraduate courses, graduate level courses on instrumentation are bound to be much harder and in depth.

>>36082295

Well this is pretty much just a general overview course, we look at things like theory and general instrumentation, but we don't go into incredibly great detail learning every rule and exception to the instrument.

>>36082307
I am an undergraduate, my school's senior advanced lab series was just unbearably miserable. Even our basic organic chemistry classes involved learning a bunch of 2D NMR techniques though.

>programming exam in a few hours

To be honest, the engineering part of computer engineering is far more interesting to me than programming. Maybe I should have went for electrical engineering instead?

I've just about had it with this university. I'm considering not even registering for classes next semester.

>>36082384

We didn't really go into extensive detail, but I did learn how to determine structures of organic molecules given things like IR spectra and proton/carbon NMR in organic chem. I don't think we have anything like an advanced lab series, I know there's a graduate course on Advanced Instrumentation, but yeah I don't wanna take that. Basically after this semester all I have left to take is pchem.

Who /comfycampusjob/ here? I get to work IT and it's great.

>>36082369
A lot of the brainlets who shouldn't even be in college take those classes. Either that, or just people trying to BS their way through their gen ed requirements.

Honestly, I feel so out of place in my liberal arts degree. Granted, it's one where people seem to struggle with for some reason, but I feel like my potential should have gone into a hard science or engineering instead.

>>36082420
Comp sci, I'd be switching away from a geoscience path.

>>36082392
Do it. I missed my chance, and it's made depressed ever since.

Anyone doing a study abroad over the summer? I'm signed up for one, it's offered by my chem department, a sort of study on Alternative Energy, over the course of 3 weeks we go to Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun honestly, I knew people who went on it last year and they enjoyed it.

>>36082444
go for it but a bit of warning, comp sci is pretty impacted no matter at pretty much any uni I am aware of so you might not actually get in the major. if that's the case see how many comp sci classes you can take regardless and since you're a stem major already, you probably have a decent chance of landing a programming job

>>36082456
Going to Guatemala on a service learning trip where I'll be doing stuff in a school. At least it'll qualify as experience for a resume for grad school.

I'm in a similar position, howd you change your work.ethic ?

>>36082483
My adviser says I'm pretty much assured to get in as long as my GPA stays stable, but I go to a side campus of PSU and instead of going to main campus for my last two years I'd be going to Harrisburg, barring me getting a waiver. I mean I guess realistically going up to main campus wouldn't change my life, I'd still be a shut-in loner. Can't help but feel like I'd be missing out anyway. But better that than work a job I don't like.

>>36082515
Study groups. Only way I got motivated to study. Im nowhere close to being a normie yet I get along just fine with other normies there who really help me out.

I'm in my senior year of college getting a BSW (bachelor in social work), I'm potentially 3 weeks out from graduating, but not everything has gone smoothly. I'm been doing an internship since last fall and it's horrible - I'm socially retarded and I have to interact with all these people and shit and I'm not doing what I should be (referring people to resources and shit I guess.) Like, i've had multiple meetings with the university faculty about my shitty performance and how I could face not graduating (we came to an ultimatum that I have to pass this internship was a C to pass), but in the end it's my field instructor (in short, my boss) who will give me the green light (or not). I'm stressed as fuck, I'm worried I'm not gonna graduate and what the implications of that are, but if I do, i'll be stuck with a degree I might not be able to pull off. It just fucking sucks, I wish I had picked engineering or gotten a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certificate instead. Do what you love, /r9k/. Life is too short to fuck up your career.

That's so weird you have to ask permission to drop classes. I can log on right now and drop as much as I want within 3 minutes. Also in a few weeks I can sign myself up for next years classes. Although I am at a CC so that might be why

>>36082392

computer engineering is to electrical engineering as aerospace engineering is to mechanical; they're just more specialized parts of the same field

i wouldn't switch unless you have no interest in actual computer engineering and would rather have a more general education

but you certainly can get a masters in electrical engineering with those credentials.

second order differential equations in calc 2? wtf? is this shit normal?

i took an entirely separate class for differential equations, which also includes calc III shit

Starting classes on Monday at a technical college. I'm pretty excited, mostly because I feel prepared for what lies ahead. I tried community college straight out of high school, but dropped it within 2 weeks. It took me 7 years to find something that interests me, and thanks to wageslaving for all of those years, I can afford my tuition without taking a loan out.
