hello /uni/

first time posting here mainly because I had a physics exam today and it went horrible. I only have one more shot at it to pass in order to get into my second year and there's other shit I gotta pass aswell. Fuck this rat race honestly fa.m but I'm so close I worked so much to get to this point im not gonna let it to waste...

>tfw turned in my final project this morning

I did it, guys. I finally finished my bachelor's degree.

>tfw not a student anymore

>1 month till I start my History studies
What am I in for, lads? I've 20gb worth of PDFs for citing my essays

I don't even know what I'm doing. Nothing's going to change even if I successfully get out of here. Nothing ever really changes in my life. I'm not learning any skills for any job whatsoever, so I'm fucked no matter what happens.

At least I can follow everything the instructor is saying in class for the very first semester ever. That brain fog I had was beyond frustrating. Had it my entire life too.

>>39539231
just find someone who's also alone and ask them about last class or some dumb shit like that, that's one way to do it. it's generally accepted!

you're asking the right questions here anon!

I'm dropping out and my father just lost his job. He's been pestering me like a mother fucker.

where aII my /accounting/ niggas at

Prime virgin Stacy in my classes for two straight years now has to do the final project with me

This semester should be interesting

Just started /uni/ few days ago.
I'm going through cycles of feeling utterly depressed and alone through out the day until my flat mate invites me to some party where I feel great and have a good time and meet new people. Of course then in the morning I just feel depressed and alone again being to scared to talk to the people I met last night.
Should I be glad that I'm at least having fun for a bit?

Just make an appointment, show up, do aspie things. What country are you from?

I did it! I dropped out! I spent two years being miserable and alone in uni, now I can go back to being miserable and alone at home or at some shit minimum wage job!
At least I'm done failing for now. Failing makes me a special kind of miserable. I rather have the passive, nagging sense of failure that comes with not trying at all, than the brutal soul-crushing sense of failure that comes with trying my best.

Maths and applied maths here. Want to die. Don't know why I do this shit. I'm not even good at it...

>>39538415
I'm not ready to dropout but I think I have found /the one/. This guy goes to a few of my classes and all the does is stare at me, he's smart, very confident and social. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I caught him staring dead at me when I was talking to a friend, I noticed and he did not look away but he smiled instead. I lost my train of thought and I'm sure I looked like a dumbass. We had a lab together today and he wanted to be my lab partner. I don't know what to do now though. I'm so happy after 19 years of suffering.

>>39542662
The US which makes it hard, I'd have to get my parents insurance shit which means I'd have to lie and convince them I needed to go for some other reason since they're already ashamed that I'm so awkward they used to make fun of me not having any friends in high school and tell me how weird I was it probably wouldn't even be worth it I doubt I could get enough neetbux to live alone in the US it's probably better to just stick it out for a few more years of this hell or kill myself outright

What is a good degree to go for if I cant think logically. Like no kidding Im probably below 90IQ but I can memorize stuff if I really try

>>39538415
I study an subject I don't give a fuck because everything I'm interested in or are really good at doesn't bring me a job and nothing that is any near to that does that, so I study completely against my interests since I'm not a woman and can't hope for an Beta Orbiter who studied something that brought money.

>>39543352

>>39543352
What's the point of going? No seriously, what benefit could you possibly gain?

I'm just going to post my rant on /adv here normie or not

This is a question for advice as well as a rant.

i'm a 20 something old guy, i have friends from my old town and stuff. I study at a university in a city. I'm in my third year and i feel so damn lonely. I have no group to go out with. just acquaintances that know me and i know them. Conversations will never go beyond how are you doing anon, how was your weekend, what did you get for x subject.

In the vacation i was dating this girl for a month and now that i just got dumped at the start of uni i feel double the loneliness. It seems that most people found friendships during their freshers week but my group sucked and fell apart.

Believe me i tried finding 'friends'
> joined a study association
> was 1 year active
> work in a place with lot's of people from the same study field
> going to try to join a other commision from my study association soon

Yet all these things and i feel like that i have NOT found any new friendships. Just shallow contacts

I guess my main problems are:
No uni people to go out with
Lost excitement in my life by losing a girl.

>mfw some 50yo in one of my classes asked me if I was Jewish (I'm not)

>>39543466
You have a large nose

I thought I was ready to go back but now that it's only a week away I know I'm not. Here's to another 8 months of anxiety and loneliness and mediocre grades.

>>39543425
No one cares faggot, get a new girl and stop bitching

>>39542389
You're better off going into another STEM field (or double-majoring), or even doing something in business instead.

Unless I complete my master's, I'm fucked. Even then I'm probably still fucked anyway. I don't have a clue if there is anything that I will actually be able to do. Knowing my luck, there won't be.

It's like philosophy in that it teaches you to think better than other subjects, but the flip side is that it doesn't confer any specialized skills in itself.

My life has been fucked over so much, you can't imagine how thrilled I was when I finally figured all this out.

>>39542389
Pick up a marketing/economics/business minor and you're set to get into a nice easy mid level starting position

>>39543717

>>39540413
They make sure you get your master's by the time you have tenure. With all the CE hours you need until then, if you don't have a master's, you fucked up.
>>39540276
The useless degree is the one that doesn't show you what your passion is, confront you with a taste of the kind of work involved with making that passion a reality, and through those trials, produce a graduate with the foundations of success in their discipline.
>>39538883
Don't listen to assholes, you will never be anything but mediocre at something you hate. Getting a degree in chemical engineering won't make you love math and science, it will make you a disinterested actor in a tragic comedy where you suffer to make money in a career you hate.

No idea what's the deal in other countries but here you're pretty much guaranteed a decent paying job if you graduate with math major, especially if you studied comp science too.
Problem is I've got a feeling I'm way too dumb to ever graduate since the first courses are already giving me trouble.

Other than that, I wonder if I should put more effort into making friends this year. Not that I have any idea how to go about it, and the thought terrifies me. I did nothing last year but go to class>library>home, made no connections at all.

Depends on what you want out of it, I have a friend who did history and he's a lot better off than me in some ways, he managed to graduate a bit early I'm still in uni and moved back to our small ass town ~2000 people to take a comfy job at the local high school, taking over for the retiring history teacher it's not the highest paying thing ever but he's basically set for life as the previous teacher was now.

Obviously that isn't going to happen for everyone though, if you don't have any career ideas lined up though or you're against eventually teaching in the middle of nowhere and don't have any secondary skills you might want to consider another major or if you really need to go to school full time if you just want to study you can do it on the side.

oops i dont have an umbrella there goes my future

I'm a real fuckup. Had a hold on my account preventing me from registering for classes and I didn't do anything about it all summer until Friday. Managed to get into two good classes but I have to just show up to full/waitlisted classes the first day and hope the professor lets me in to fill up the rest of my schedule. Otherwise sign up for some meme classes or have an extremely light courseload.

On top of that, the career fair is in a few weeks and I'm not at all prepared, have to meet with my advisor or some shit, no idea what to do about that. I did absolutely nothing all summer like a retard.

On top of that, I have a night class this night that I'm skipping because I don't have a bus pass (forgot to renew that). It's okay though, it's a class I took in the spring that I dropped partway through, so it should be material I already know, right? I'm fucked, the bad habits are starting day 1.

Alright, my blogpost is long enough for now. Someone please put a bullet in my head.

What do you think would happen to me if I started a 4chan meme club at my university?

>>39544602
I had this same idea, but I feel as if it would attract either nobody, or the wrong kind of people.

>>39544641
Imagine getting on 4chan.

With someone else there.

I don't live on campus, how to i get a shy autistic girl? I'm pretty good looking and don't really care if she is, so long as she's not fat. I can't stand normie girls into sex and parties.

I forgot what it's like to regularly interact with someone and I forget if it I like it

>>39544415

Thanks, lads. I've already planned out most stuff. First goal is to work in a museum, if that doesn't work then settle down as a teacher (I loved voluntary teaching for seniors back in high school and was always a natural public speaker). I'm confident in getting a job in history. Hell, I've already decided what historical journals/articles I'm going to write on. Just need to make sure I pass and do enough internships, I guess.

Are your muscles not flabby?
Is your bodyfat% low?
Are your clothes modern and tasteful but edgy?
Are you wearing makeup in a tasteful way?

If not, you're not a twink, you're a skinny ninny fag-boy.

I want to take a year off so I can save some money working full time, but my parents say they will make me pay for my own food and for my car payments. Working and going to uni at the same time is killing me, what do I do?

>>39545265
You stop being a bitch and make a decision do you support yourself and not go to uni or do you keep going and let your parents take care of it. You're best bet is probably going to be to get a part time job with some minimal hours while still going and having your parents pay shit so you can save it all, it's what a ton of people do, if you can't manage school and >15 hours of work you may want to consider ending it

Will your parents resume paying your bills when you go back to uni? More importantly, does this semester have easy or difficult professors teaching your classes? If easy classes, stay in school. If difficult classes, work for a year and see if your luck changes.

>>39546375
>60k isn't enough for uni
depends on where you live and what your other expenses are
in burgerville state schools are roughly 10k a year max for tuition alone
even then community college is significantly cheaper (and a better option because it helps you get into better schools than with your presumably blank slate)

obviously if you posted that you have a reason for it, where's the money going?

>>39546375
How is 60k not enough for one degree holy shit...
And why did you parents refuse to give you money?

>>39544671
The only boards I ever even open with other people around is /tv/ and /wsg/. My roommate knows my favorite board is /trv/, so I open it and browse with him around. But I honestly only open [r9k] in incognito mode and only when I'm certain that nobody can see.

>>39546430
This. I'm going to a SUNY school, and it's ~$4000 a semester. Not bad at all, and assuming you're willing to live in a less than exceptional apartment (which you certainly are if you joined the military), housing is fairly inexpensive. I'd kill to have $60,000 in my savings account.

>>39546589

>>39546840
I'm honestly really scared. I don't even like CS that much in the first place, but I don't know what else to do. The year already started so it's too late for any major changes.

>>39546769
Yes you are fucked. Talk to the professor ASAP and find easier course(s) that will teach you these things, since there's probably a lot of little details you don't know as well. For what it's worth, you should know that an array is a pointer to several adjacent spots in memory and that you should convert from decimal to binary and then from binary to hexadecimal. See https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-home/alg-intro-to-algebra/algebra-alternate-number-bases/v/decimal-to-hexadecimal

I actually got an A in that class. Group work and google saved me. The rest was just written assignments and so on.

My parents own two businesses and pay for all my shit out of their pocket, I'm far from poor, my point is of course they wouldn't give you money when you think 60k isn't even enough for a degree, better to let you learn the value of shit on your own

Half multiple choice, which I do know how to sturdy after all, so that wasn't hard.

The other half was programming, which I still managed to shit out a simple program that almost worked. Got 30 out of 50 points, and with the other half, added up to about an 85% over all.

>>39547157
If you were learning on your own, I would recommend going through The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. But I seriously don't think you'll be able to work through the book and keep up with your classes.

My advice is to talk to your professors about what to do and if necessary, see if withdrawing will affect your GPA or full-student status.

>>39547194

Then drop it now, don't waste your time and money if you're not naturally good at it or don't love it you won't make it all the way through. Either go for something you enjoy and find internships so you have work experience when you graduate (work experience and connections will trump everything when it comes to employers deciding whether to hire you or not) or go for something easy that has a lot of job opportunities, also I assume you're uni has advisors for each degree? If so go see the ones you're interested in and talk to them about switching and how much more work it would be or just go to you're general undergrad office and explain the situation they'll help you find something, just don't fuck yourself staying in something you don't like and aren't good at.

I wasn't friends with anyone of the 11 people in my hall's kitchen group and made friends with people on my course instead. You'll be fine.

>>39547428
I don't know what I like though, that's the hard part. First world problems at it's fullest, but I really don't have any passion for just about anything. I wish I could find something I actually enjoy. I've never had any friends or gfs so computers were pretty much all I had.

>>39547506
Nursing is decent if you can get in and is arguably the same difficulty as CS. Computer science pretty easy in comparison to every STEM major so maybe you just need more time to learn the material.

>>39547270
>>39547506
out of curiosity, what are you taking this semester?
you're probably going to irreparably ruin your GPA if you do this. if you need to stay in school to appease your parents, you should probably get all your gen ed requirements out of the way while learning how to actually code.

also i feel you on the lack of passion for things. anything worth doing isn't going to be enjoyable all the time.
i feel like compsci is the "safe idk what i'm doing major" nowadays. part of me still regrets going into it instead of chem, but i'm already 2 years into it so eh.

>>39547341
C as a first language seems fairly daunting.
i feel like he should probably learn whatever languages his college is working with (normally java/python).

>>39547506
>I don't know what I like though
Go talk to a general undergrad advisor then, they'll help you find something a lot of universities have some niche degrees with good job outlooks that just aren't commonly thought of. If you just still want to work with computers maybe start considering some shit like digital retailing/digital marketing, they're both computer intensive stuff while still being easy with a nice job out look and pay assuming you're willing to follow through and put in the work to find internships, there's also shit like general IT and networking. And assuming you're american you probably just did some basics first year so you won't be that far behind when it comes to switching and depending on your schools policy and how early in the year you are they may still even let you swap your entire schedule if you get on it soon personally once I failed out of CS I switched to international business and marketing since it's easy as shit, I don't necessarily totally enjoy it but it also let me pick up a language which I'm having fun with

>>39547693
A lot of schools still start off with C, starting off with C is actually a fairly good idea as well if you can get the hang of it you'll be set on learning any other language

>>39547599
>>39547693
>>39547710
Object oriented programming with C# (already passed the intro to C# class last year), software engineering, and assembly language and computer architecture.

I've thought about going to an advisor, but I don't know where to start and it's really daunting. My parents know about my mental problems and how i've been on anti deppresents for years now. But whenever I try to talk to them about how i'm unhappy at college, they just tell me that they're proud of me going and getting a future in spite of all that and to work hard. It just makes me feel guilty.

Thanks anons.

My dad's a programmer and I have no idea how coding works, it seems so abstract and weird. So glad I chose to be a lab monkey instead of a computer monkey.

>>I've thought about going to an advisor, but I don't know where to start and it's really daunting
Just schedule an appointment, general undergrad advisors are literally there for people to come in and dump their problems on them, tell them you like computers and aren't sure what else they'll work with you from there, it's what they do all day.

If you want to be ahead of the game maybe considering going to your uni's catalog/list of majors and minors and marking off things you absolutely don't want to take and leaving things you'd be okay with or aren't sure about and letting them talk you through those.

>>39547795

What type of degree do you do?

http://www.strawpoll.me/13870710

>>39547693
>first language
I recommend Python as a first language. I recommend learning C to catch up quickly on lower-level stuff like pointers and bit operations.

>>39547788
If you need the extra push, go to your school's counseling center and setup a plan or walk into a tutoring center and ask the receptionist for advice. (They'll tell you to just email your advisor for an appointment though). Remember that taking a semester off is not the same as dropping out, and certainly looks better than failing classes. Most importantly, if you don't build a solid foundation now, you'll be in even deeper trouble later on (operating systems and algorithms).

kek. I also come home from uni at 4pm. I haven't had any exam yet, but, one time I had to do a 1000 word essay that was due for the next day, and instead of doing it soon after I came home, I just procrastinated the entire day until midnight. I then decided to say: "Fuck it, I'll do it in the morning", only slept a couple of hours before having to wake up at 6am still tired. It was the shittiest essay I've ever written. At class, we then had to group work, but I was too sleepy to do anything and my partner did the entire work by herself, thankfully, she didn't complain to the professor.

I guess it's better to do you work in the library, because at home, you just do other stuff. I know I'm going to try going to the library next time, hopefully, it's not full of people just chatting. I'm also trying to get my psychiatrist to prescribe me adderall, instead of ritalin.

>1st class of the semester and already falling asleep and don't understand any of it
nice

I dropped intermediate algebra today because it was too hard and I was already falling behind by the 2nd week.

The professor assigned over 100 practice problems in literally the first class. Then again in the second. I have work, I don't have time to waste on 3 hours of math homework after every single class...

>>39548772
Oh, well thanks for making me feel a little worse. I don't have any other dorms directly next to mine so hopefully I won't hear anything. My suitemate is a good Christian boy and pudgy so I doubt he'll score. Then again he is super outgoing and never here.

I graduated in May

I am here to warn the rest of you, do not get a physics or astronomy degree unless you are sure you will get a phd somday and be in the top 5% of people with the degree

No they'll see you as a baby sitter for their kids, not respect you enough to fuck you. Although going into teaching is probably going to be your best bet of getting into a stable relationship, women (the non single mother kind) will see you as a stable safe bet, you're not going to get anything too good but you'll definitely get some aging used up roastie who realizes she needs to grab on too something quick before aging hits her too hard.

Aside from the extremely mentally damaged ones who will never leave their house and have no interest in men to begin with women are massive whores, there's a reason there's far fewer female virgins than men, they have such easy access to sex and men and no reason to give that up to be with one person until age starts to hit them and they need a provider.

I dropped out 2.5 years ago and it was the best thing I could have done. Should have done it a year or two earlier. I had programming jobs all through college, and probably could have switched to full time work at any point. I don't know why I did so many years of college trying to pick a major that didn't make me want to rip my scrotum off. I dropped out and got a job making more than all of my friends who graduated did, and now I make (barely) 6 figures.

>>39543425
Hey anon, I was in much the same position as you, but somehow I found a group this year. I think what was holding me back for the most part was the fact that I had to commute for 2 hours a day back to my old town and I couldn't ever go out with anyone near the campus. I finally moved to the city this semester and I'm starting to hang out with people now, which is really nice but unfortunately they only have a few more semesters to go until they graduate (most of them are seniors).

In any case, I still feel gypped. I wish I knew more people within my major and I could talk to more people about topics I enjoy. Oh well, I guess that's why I've got you lads.

I'm a senior in engineering but I literally have no research experience and my GPA is shit. I don't know if I should even bother going. How do people keep talking to the company rep anyway?

You need a PhD in order to get anywhere with publications. An MA will be useful for certain types of work, such as museum or administrative positions.

I'm in my second year of an MA program currently, considering whether or not to continue.

>>39543800
This guy is right. A BA degree in ANYTHING is required to not make minimum wage in today's job market. Not everyone can be an engineer. If history or whatever humanities bs makes you passionate then follow that passion. Be aware however that you are going to need to make your own career - you aren't going to land a job at some dream company straight out of school unless you are obscenely fortunate or rich.

Are you an LSUbot? Our career fair is tomorrow too. Bring copies of your resume, don't put your GPA on it, and just try to talk to different companies about the work they do and what their career opportunities are.

Does this ever get remedied? Back in HS I was told that college was supposed to be "the real deal". Instead all I got was HS 2.0. I don't hate my peers but I really wish I wasn't surrounded by so many people who seem to not give any amount of fucks either.

Dropping out one of this days. Getting decent grades is easy but I just don't have the mental stability to handle this.
Maybe I have already skipped some tests this semester. I don't know.

Depends what field, but generally if its not shit tier (below 2.6) then they usually wont care. Only the jobs that post (masters preferred) will really care about that GPA. Although if you dont have much else going for you a high GPA looks nice I guess.

Man, my schedule is fucked right now.

I have 4 classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9-4 and 1 class on Tuesday and Thursday at 6-8PM. I have 3 day weekends and I can wake up late on Tuesday and Thursday at least but I would have preferred something more balanced than chaos on Monday and Wednesday, and a chill night class on Tuesday and Thursday. Only reason my schedule is this way is because the school locked me out of registering for certain classes until fucking August.

Hopefully next semester is a little better.

You are correct, that is one of the benefits of medicine is you don't look for jobs the traditional way. You get offered a residency and it kind of spirals into a career naturally.

>3.0 GPA
>Associates Degree
Go to a large party university. I went to UCF, and although they claim that they have a 3.8 acceptance GPA average and they have high standards, that really only applies to high school students with no degree. As long as you have an associates degree most party schools will accept you, they aren't afraid of you dropping out as much (which is their primary fear).
This is the case in burgerland don't know anywhere else.

I graduated from a 3 year community. college throughout the entire time i never had friends nor did i hang out with anybody all i ever did was go to school be quiet in class and went home literally 3 years of never having a friend to friend conversation. Which sucks because I talked to alot of people in highschool and when I graduated I realized I wasn't even their real friend. Years would pass by and they never even gave me a simple happy birthday on my Facebook wall. The only thing my Facebook homepage looks like are older relatives saying happy birthdays and few profile pic changes with 2 likes. All I ever wanted was friendship. Now I'm out of school I still don't know what I wanna do with my life. It seems all so pointless I don't wanna be a disappointment to my mom when I'm an only child.

>dropping out of university
Literally the stupidest thing you could do. Better to just change your major to something easier that you can actually finish than to drop out and waste all that money and time for nothing. Even a "worthless" degree is still actually worth something. It shows commitment, that you can achieve long term goals. All dropping out proves is that you're a failure.

it feels weird though

>>39555267
that's what i'm trying to do, but how do i go about it?

and finding commonality =/= projecting.

>>39555291
what do you mean "go about it?"
academically you're probably a blank slate. a new transfer (freshman?) with no gpa.

mentally what made it different for me this time around? mix of being at home, more interest in the subject, self hate, and realizing if i fuck up again i've proven my worthlessness

>>39555506
go about as it make it worth is this time. I'm a transfer...but for the second time. my grades are okay...nothing spectacular but obviously not doing too poorly. What you're saying is kind of what I'm hoping for, but I don't want to hate myself in the process ):

>>39555535
most of studying and going to class and doing work isn't fun and it's easy to burn out.
in my opinion the secret is time management. holy shit you'd be amazed at how much time you waste because you're "too tired and don't wanna start"
myself included, i'm a hypocrite when it comes to that, but damn the best feeling in college is actually finishing things early. doing things the night before will ruin you.

also i'm simultaneously arrogant as fuck and have a crippling inferiority complex; i'm probably the last person you'd want to ask "how do you not hate yourself"
if you're like me you'll probably constantly think "i wish i could redo those years and do it right"
too bad, what you're living right now is the closest you'll get to it.

>my grades are okay
boi you're applying for grad school. if you're in the states anything below 3.5 isn't okay.

>>39555755
i have a 3.5~3.6 depending on how you calculate. i mean grad school as in post grad plans, i have a few options i'm considering and the confidence to do none of them. i'm already burned out i'm scared i'm going to ruin it all for myself.
