My first week was shit. Tried to be friendly and talk to people, but I didn't make any connections.

Fuck anyone who says college is the best years of your life. It's the same as k-12, except double the work load, being surrounded by chad and stacey 24/7, and being constantly malnourished.

>>39304066
Are you a part of any clubs? If you have any sort of creative outlet, you join one of those and share the passion with other people. Inevitably they'll invite you out to get fucked up with them in my experience (or to just hang out if they're straightedge).

Shit's all about connection...but I'm not gonna lie even with as massively creative I was in college I had a lot of Friday and Saturday nights alone off and on. I was an autist on my Bill Gates wave though, desperately trying to open my schedule to legendary inspiration and devote everything to productivity. I'd hole up in practice rooms composing to midnight and beyond as normies would be having the time of their lives/transitting to it right out the window. Don't pressure yourself into the western meme that is the "weekend!!!!" if you have actual crazy shit that you can do that'll drastically revolutionize your future

Starting Uni in October. How rough are the essays, lads? I consider myself a natural speaker and I'm bursting with ideas so I'd say writing a lot has never been a problem for me, but how strictly do they grade essays? I've heard they focus a lot on argument presentation and citations

>would have gotten into college if I had made one extra precaution
>didn't
The difference between a life of hope and one of despair can be such a small thing. I technically still could get an offer any time before October, but it's unlikely.

>>39305137
>I've heard they focus a lot on argument presentation and citations
Yup. It's a lot of quality, not quantity stuff. Make sure those ideas you're bursting with are being presented logically, support your main thesis, and come with evidence.
I'm probably projecting here but I think I have a similar problem to you and got some good advice back in high school: When writing an essay, every paragraph should discuss your main argument. Every sentence in that paragraph should support the main idea of that paragraph. Every sentence should be written concisely and with purpose.
Letting your brain barf onto a paper is fun as fuck, but that's not what essays are for. You can get away with some frills and drama, but only after you have the bare bones of what you're being asked to write about. Usually you can have a little more flair in the intro and conclusion anyway.
good luck

>>39305325
Oh, I forgot to mention grading. Usually the professor is very clear on what he expects in an essay. He probably lists it in the syllabus. If he doesn't, ask him directly. Most of the grade is following those expectations as closely as you can. Quality counts too, of course, but what the professor asks you to do (no grammar errors, at least x sources, at least x paragraphs, etc.) comes first.

>>39305290
What's your situation? Are you just out of high school?

>>39305483
My country's equivalent of it, yes. Most likely I'm not going to have another chance until next year. I've applied to a one-year course that will get me more points, but I might drop it after a few weeks or months if I don't like it and then I can re-do the application before next year's deadline.

Yeah, it's not as big a deal as you feel like it is. You're young. You have the time left to make mistakes like this. Tell everyone you're taking a gap year, work and save some money or take a few trips if you can. Starting uni a year later really doesn't affect anything. People start after 30, after all.

Do you have friends you can play vidya with every once in a while? If not, you'll need some form of socialization or else you'll end up like I did last semester, where I had a room alone, but the loneliness lead me to become meme depressed for a while until summer break.

Who here /memedegree/? FInishing my bachelor in business soon. Always knew it was trash but was also aware that I'd never be able to handle something harder in STEM since I'm lazy as fuck.

Plan atm is to take a year off once I graduate and put a serious effort into learning programming. I'm hopeful I enjoy it and am able to follow through as I have no concrete skills right now.

How did you handle dropping out after investing so much time and money into it? I'm nearly at the point of being kicked out due to failing grades and I've been in it 4 years part-time. To me, it would be a horrible pain to invest that much effort into an education but to fall short months before you're done.. Wouldn't that make you more depressed?

If you want to do web dev, fine. But learning full-fledged programming requires you to bust your ass. Are you willing to do that? Are you in fact capable of doing that?

Well for me I begun disliking my course from the end of 1st year and my disinterest continued up until 3rd year which was the final year for my History course. I'd been putting as little effort in my work as possible just to get a pass in assignments and I never attended the classes either so I wasn't really learning anything either, so even if I did soldier it out i would've just gotten a shitty degree since I was just dicking around at uni the entire time. Plus, a History degree isn't all that great, I kinda wanted to go into teaching but after learning how shit that would be all the other job options a History degree offers didn't appeal to me that much. Admittedly I was extremely lucky getting this apprenticeship I have now but in that brief moment in time where I had dropped out for good with no clear plan laid out for me I felt so liberated, just being able to make a major chage in my life after feeling so shitty over the past 3 years felt great and in the end it paid off. My advice to you is to figure out how employable a degree in your field is and whether its worth the pain of continuing uni as a degree is still a good thing to have in my opinion but the earier you drop out the better. But yeah as you said a lot of money had been wasted on my time at uni and why I wish I had dropped out sooner and that was especially why my mum was so dissapointed in me for dropping out as she would work constant double shifts and overtime at her job so I could be comfy at uni (which I was) but after I explained every thing to her she was very understanding about it and was extremely happy for me getting that postion. whatever you decide, good luck anon

There's traps, small-tit shemales, small-tit shemales who kind of look like traps, bimbos who are grungy but hot, ones that look like women and have boobs, ones without boobs who look like women, ones with litle tiny boobs who look like traps, ones with tiny boobs who look like women, there's also smoothness of their skin, and different trap aesthetics, traps that look like 4chan girls, etc

There's too many fucking variables here. I've successfully organized my ebony women folders, and my Asian transsexuals folder, but the white/Hispanic traps/trans vary too much in appearance and are so hard to categorize effectively.

Thats reassuring. People have been acting like 50k is some huge number and out of reach if you get a lib arts degree. The first salaried position at walmart makes about 50k and they usually only have hs diplomas and you can apply for it with an aa.

Don't spend money on books. If you have to I suggest renting or going used. It's a lot less of a pain in the ass than buying a couple hundred dollar book and finding a buyer when you're done.
