/uni/ general

I made it through 1.5 years of college. All of the coursework was so fucking boring. im 22 and still have no fucking idea what I want to do. Much less, id rather a company just teach me something so I can afford to live rather than work to live.

>>38945486

Good luck anon, sounds like you have a solid idea of what sort of career you want after you graduate. Unfortunately I fell for the "go to college right after high school" meme without knowing what the fuck I wanted to do, and only at the end of my junior year did I decide to do IT and software engineering. At this rate I'll either be doing an extra three years for the BSc or, if I'm accepted, an extra two for the MSc, though the MSc has less internship/co-op opportunities (the BCs has thre while the MSc only one).

I don't wish this on anyone if they have a way around it. I did this myself and it is terrible. Couldn't study during work hours either. It seriously fucks with your study time, especially if it's a hard degree. If it's something like an MBA that's also very bad, because from what I'm told generally they cuck you by making you do group projects, and if you don't have time to meet teammates and put in solid effort, you're hurting everyone including yourself.

I had to loose about 50lbs for this, which I have. I'm serious about it, it's just I'm finally at a weight that won't disqualify me and that happened just last week.
Anyways, I would love to be a naval reactors engineer (3.5 math grad), but I know that's a huge leap from doing literally nothing so I'm not sure what to expect with that. I've been told SWO is something up my ally, but I'm more or less going in blind because everyone I know has negative to neutral feelings about our military. Most of the people I've talked to flat out tried to tall me out of it, but if I ask what I should do instead it's always:
>Uh...I dunno something will come up
Sorry that became a rant. Any advice for me? Looking to do officer because of the degree, but I have no idea what I want to do in life which also led me to this position. I'm just ready to do something.

>>38948389
Well if you want to be an officer being a SWO is kind of a catch all. Nothing wrong with that but its a very vanilla officer job. Id avoid being a NUKE if I was you. You will effectively pigeon hole yourself and its not worth it. Maybe sometype of intel officer position? If you want to go enlisted I have a much better perspective on that.

Well I was an OS on 2 cruisers in san Diego and I loved it. I was only in for 4 years and im out now about to use the gi bill. Deployed twice around asia and had a blast. Overall the experience was awesome and id do it again in a heartbeat.

get back to university to see long term gf which is going terrible and on the verge of breaking up, planning to fuck my ex

im in my third year and this all i care about, NEETdom here i come

Sophomore here. Is this a bad schedule?

Biology
Biology Lab
Organic Chemistry
Organic Chemistry Lab
Elementary Statistics
Sociology
American Literature

Total of 17 hours. It's going to be my hardest semester yet for sure but I think I can handle it, I'm mostly worried about the two science labs.

I'm finally transferring from CC to a uni after being a NEET for a while.

I'm 25, and I'm going into Electrical Engineering. Engiebots, level with me:

How fucked am I if I have literally NO job experience? Will this matter when looking for engineering internships, or do they mainly care about GPA, projects, ECs, and research/lab work?

>>38942568
Finally had the courage to look up my year 2 results. 3 2:1s and 2 2:2s. Was pretty pleased as I was certain that I'd completely flunked due to going through a rough patch mentally.

This is literally just part of joining the real world.

I'm not even sure who you're replying to, but in upper level chemistry classes every hour of lecture usually came with an hour of homework, two hours of lab reports, and an hour of figuring out what the fuck you're even meant to be doing.

>>38949704

>>38949964
>This is literally just part of joining the real world.
Even when it was two months ago and we have multiple ways of contacting each other

>>38950117
Irrelevant. It's just like how you lose touch with your high-school friends pretty soon after going to college. People go their separate ways, get jobs, get married, and start new lives. It doesn't mean you aren't still friends though.

As you get older, friendships generally require less maintenance. In grade school you see your best friends every day, in high school you see them every week, but once you get older it's not uncommon to go months without talking to some of your best friends.

unless you marry your best friend, but this is /r9k/, none of us know about that kind of thing.

>>38950213
Guess so, I've only kept up with one guy from highschool via steam. Not like I knew too many in highschool anyway

Anyone here ever seriously considered trade school?
Whats stopped you from doing it?

go out there you young bots. go out there and try something different. something mortifying, something that may end up totally embarrassing. you think you won't live it down but guess what? you will. because people will always look for someone new to laugh at. and if they don't let you live it down, it's easier than ever now to tell them fuck off, the world's yuuuge, and they have nothing better to do than to laugh at some nobody? don't be embarrassed about being uncool, a robot, or ugly or whatever. you're a human being too. and while it might be harder for you to get laid (unfair i know) that shouldn't stop you from doing whatever the fuck you want otherwise.

go be THAT guy. and then be ALSO THAT guy. do shit. if i was forced to play skyrim as an orc with shit stats, i'd still play. if nothing else, i'd troll people. take others down with me. prove publicly that we're all insecure, vulnerable, and we all have the potential to be mean as fuck. get out there ya cunt. and give people whatever you think they deserve.

>>38949508
I notice this as well. In the same boat as you famalam.

Bumping for advice.

In general I find that if they see that youre older they tend to avoid you, maybe they dont think they relate.
Contrary to the anecdotal posts that claim that percieved maturity is an advantage. I guess you have to give the vibe that your fun to be around.

>>38949508
A) They meet up at parties you were either invited to and didn't go, or weren't invited to B) They party and meet up at random in the club, share contact details, and keep clubbing.

I've also found that 'normies' tend to have the most boring fucking conversations. They tend to flock together and at some point that becomes a friendship

It was only a month ago I realized, "wait what the fuck am I going to do with this degree." I only picked it because history is the only thing I'm interested in.
Am I fucked?

>>38949734
Yea, that's including labs. The labs technically count as 1 credit hour, which is bullshit because in actuality they last for two hours usually. Plus with the lab reports you have to write I easily spend just as much time on my 1 credit hour labs as I do on the 3 credit hour lecture portion.

Also, 5 hours of organic lecture a week? Did you take it during the summer or something? That's a lot, yo. Maybe my college is different but I thought 3 credit hours was pretty standard for most classes.

>>38949734
Is 5 classes unusual? I consider it about average.

>>38951473
I work security at a call center/bank. Apparently, anyone with at least a Bachelor's degree can apply there. They don't care what your degree is in they just want you to have it. People get paid $20+ there so I guess that's pretty good. I guess the tradeoff is that job security is shit as they keep downsizing and outsourcing a lot of the jobs to India.

i doubt it. i live in Australia where majority of people don't live on campus so they are still friends with people from HS

it just seems like weeks 1-3, nobody talks to each other and then suddenly everyone starts sitting in groups and are friends. i'm not ugly or socially autistic and as i said, i initiate conversations with nearly everyone i sit near. it seems like everyone else sucks socially, but seem to make friends fine.

Nobody will know me and I can hide my powerlevel. But I just don't want to fucking try, I've got no energy or will to do so and I feel guilty as fuck for not even trying (and I haven't even started)

getting ready for my very last exam on friday and its a huge one. if i pass i will basically have finished uni. if i fail i will have to kill half a year of time doing god knows what until the exam is offered again.
the pressure is real guys, i can tell you that. im not usually one to make a fuzz about tests but this one even i feel. heres hoping the prof doesnt pull a bunch of new awkward questions out of his ass.

>>38953463
Instead of worrying about fitting in or whatever, just focus on doing one thing really well: your grades. Everything will fall into place if you have success in your academics. Conversely, everything will fall apart if you neglect your grades. I was a robot coming into college, and during my first semester I just focused on doing well in all my classes, I didn't really go to parties or socialize or anything. Now I'm in a fraternity, have a girlfriend, and a 4.0 gpa. It's important to just take baby steps toward improving yourself instead of getting overwhelmed like you are now. We all gonna make it brah

>>38953546

Don't sleep on general chemistry. It's fairly easy overall but the difficulty curve goes up pretty sharply as time goes on. For the first few tests you can generally get away with only studying the day before, but once you get to the point where you're studying redox reactions and solution equilibria you have to devote a lot more time to it.

I took an basic chemistry course already so, I think I have good grasp of basic concepts, which is why I am saying the class should be my easiest. Although, it was mostly math and less on theory. We did touch on redox reactions and very little on solution equilibria. It's actually my favorite subject, so I don't see myself sleeping.

I don't think so, I chose the best professor at the school in the spring before most people even started picking classes. They also have previous mid/final exams for it. I used those to study for my basic chemistry course.

I'm finishing up a turbo normie online class atm. I'm hoping to make some friends and fet good grades going part time. I got a diploma years ago and work full time so i'm going to be crazy busy. Big thing I worry about are all the 18 and 19 year olds. At 27, I can't really relate to then anymore.

not true, we have a 25 year old guy in our group of general misfits. just dont expect to be part of the cool kids but since youre here that probably wasnt an option in the first place. do expect to be forced into the wise old senpai role though.

2nd year at 22, I took the rest of my easy classes(and one chemistry class)so I could smoke dank and work on my comic, using what I've learned about chemistry.
I've decided I'm only going to fuck skinny girls from now on

Working in trades only fucks up your body if you don't wear the proper gear and don't know how to take care of your body. Do stretches in the morning and wear shit like knee pads and whatever gear there and unless you get hurt somehow you're good. And you could still take classes using the wonderful invention known as the internet as well.

I know every single one of those feels, anon. Is an internship required for your degree? I'm lucky enough to attend a university in a city rich with historical sites and museums, so I'm not too worried about finding one for my last semester.

>>38958648
It's not, but getting any kind of a decent job would be much easier if I did an internship.
At least you have your location going for you, I go to college in a suburban wasteland and I don't have a car so it's not like I can even travel to an internship

>>38958046
Why did you go to study history?

I should have graduated in July. Finished my bachelor thesis and all but am missing 1 semester worth of credits so I have to go back and get that done.

Sucks ass cause it's abroad in the Netherlands but at least I can smoke weed all day like usual to compensate.

>>38958705
I suggest visiting your local library and asking around, as they often have spots available for uni students in need of experience. My plan is to graduate and move on to earning a MLIS online and eventually work in archives and libraries, so if I'm lucky I'll net a cozy internship at some nearby library and work my way through the ranks as I do my online classes.

Fuc my GPA is 3.0 I don't think I can get an internship this time

See if you can pirate a pdf version first. If not, check Amazon and other sites like Chegg or Abebooks. Only buy shit from the bookstore as a last resort (or on the odd chance that the price there is the same as online)

I'm applying to graduate school in the Fall and I need to submit an NSF fellowship application in October. I have a good chance of getting into my top school but my GPA sucks and I've done research only in the past year so I'll probably get rejected from all my secondary choices and the NSF.

Not at my school; it's a known weed-out course for knuckle-dragging "premeds" that don't actually have what it takes. I think its reputation is probably inflated because of all the freshman brainlets that take it but I can't be sure. But you're probably right, I've taken all of general chemistry and physics and made A's in those so I can't imagine general biology will pose a greater challenge

I'm glad to hear stats is easy though.

I was in "pre-med" back when I thought it shouldn't be hard and I can get my way into a good-payin' job. Needless to say, I dropped out because biology was horrid.

It's literally nothing but "memorise by heart". Worst thing is, after 2 years people still expect me to know anatomy despite A. being a dropout, B.not getting past nervous sytem before dropping out C.didn't retain shit about nervous system regardless.

I left my uni because I made the mistake of going in without knowing exactly why I wanted to go and gave into everyone else telling me to go. I'm almost done with my associates but I left for uni. I'm finishing it this time and I'll be taking courses to prepare me for my CCENT and CCNA.

I went to uni for Comp Sci and I dropped it a month later because I couldn't for the life of me solve any of the assignments and went to my professor's office asking for help to the point where he suggested I drop the course because I wouldn't pass that way.

I feel like this way is much better. Hopefully I won't end up broke on the street in the future. I don't feel that I have the mental capacity to handle uni. I've never had the mental capacity for academics. Must be why I was kicked out of my elementary school.
