It sucks and is depressing. I've yet to figure out why I'm doing any of this, so, so far, I've only been doing things half-heartedly.

I'm going to try to motivate myself by staying off of here, but it's very difficult for me to care about my current situation here, I'm not sure I can do two years of this. I am not feeling engaged with anything, and it's making me depressed.

I don't know what else to do though. I feel trapped.

Get a study buddy if I'm that desperate. It helps keep you concentrated but don't get a study buddy that you're attracted to because you won't retain almost anything.

I honestly almost never study so I don't really have to do it. I just pay attention in class and ride off of that and maintain like a 3.4-3.5 GPA.

I just finished community college and was accepted into my university of choice with classes starting next week. Problem is I was also offered a job that pays $32/hr starting. I'm 32 yrs old and can't do both and am at the point where I value the degree more to the point where I would actually take out loans for the next two years just to compete it. Am I being impulsive? What would you do in this situation?
>>
>>39647318
I'd take the job at that age. I just wouldn't see getting a degree that late in the game as all too useful.

Depending on what your major is I'd see if there were options to just take courses for it and get a certification that you could do alongside having a job.

It's only getting tougher and more competitive out there without a degree though. I neglected to mention that the job being offered is a temporary contract for only 6 months but the timing of it would set me back another year, having to wait to be readmitted next fall. I looked into the evening/distance learning options but they only offer classes during the day. Also, business major.

Got a 57 on my first exam but got twenty extra credit points the same day for attending a job fair and writing a short piece on it. I can't believe they still give extra credit in junior level courses but it saved me from a failing grade.

My university just dumped a shitton into what is basically a containment building combined with an academic mansion for all of the "haha I'm gonna spend daddy's money" fine arts majors like theatre, music, etc. And it's nice. The dorms, theatre, classrooms, atmosphere, everything. They're top notch.

On main campus though, all of our STEM equipment is outdated. Our observatory got taken down because of politics for said containment building. Our spectroscopy equipment is from the 80's. Our NMR machine is on its last leg. We have to use a balance from the fucking 60's in the lab I work in to measure to the nearest 0.1mg. The history and social sciences buildings are pretty much death traps too. I got some samples from the former's building for my general microbiology class one year, and accidentally started growing black mold.

But that fucking fine arts building has our former University president's last name on it, so it got a disproportionate amount of funding under his direction. And our current one took out two parking lots (we also have a parking crisis, so that exacerbates it) to put in a car rental service.

They really are. From years of experience with them, I find them the least relatable people I have ever encountered at university. Most are perfect corporate drones. It truly reflects who they are as people, which is probably something they don't realize (not to sound mean).

I know I'll probably be forced to deal with them in a soulless career path if I drop out of my current program though. The problem is that my current program probably won't even get me a job since it's pure, and I'm just wasting my time. I should have done international relations or poli sci.

Jesus, I'm fucked no matter what I do. As always and forever. I'm really growing strong resentment for modern society.

The education system is designed to churn out mediocre corporate drones like this. Exceptional people stand out regardless as long as their needs are met, so really I don't have much of a problem with this from a moral standpoint.

They want the average person competent enough to perform the necessary tasks for the megacorps, but too vapid and benighted to figure out how things actually work and seriously challenge the system. You don't want people who don't see the full context of things making major decisions. You need intellectually well-adjusted people doing that.

As for the wannabe revolutionaries, most people who think they've figured it out aren't even close. They are easy to lead off fighting windmills.

You might as well flip a coin if you're going to let people from an Iranian Carpet-Dart Sales Emporium make a decision for you.

That's a cool 33k before taxes that you're passing up. Why would you rush your degree? At your age you can do whatever you want - just like an 18 year old but you should have a higher degree of financial freedom.

Long story short:

>Colleges pick up slack to "well round" students that should already know this shit
>Social sciences backdoor themselves into "well rounded" curriculum.
>now in addition to picking up slack, we now have at least a psych, sociology class, and a few fine arts.

All fine arts, humanities, and social science majors also have to take a, basic chem, bio, and math classes, but they're baby tier and not even at what most high schools around the world have. Calc is optional in high school here.

I'm starting tomorrow, please give me advice on how to become social and get the most out of college
>>
Is it pointless to get a history degree? Unfortunately I am terrible at anything that has to do with math so I can't do anything STEM related. I feel like such a loser because what I'm good at doesn't really matter and everyone makes fun of it.

Just the other day I had to drop an astronomy course because the description made it seem like it was more about concepts, it was for non science majors but the stuff was like "F = m1-m2/G" and converting degrees to arcminutes to arcseconds and stuff like that. I'm so disappointed. I really wanted to check out things in the telescope but I have a 4.0 and didn't want to ruin it. I feel dumb.

Step 1: Be attractive
Step 2: Repeat Step 1
Step 3: Never forget either Step 1 or Step 2

You have to know people to be employable with a history degree. You really only have three options, besides dedicating your life to research:
1. curator
2. HS teacher
3. consultant for media OR antique verification.
The last one is actually a big portion of history employment, from what I've heard. Pawn shops and auctions usually have several of those guys on call to make sure items are authentic.

I hope you're good at writing, though. History degrees are brutal. Don't get totally discouraged here, make sure to still talk with an adviser or something.

I'm a freshman and I have made absolutly zero friends so far. I know i shouldn't expect much due to it being the begining of school and all but it's already two weeks in and i haven't made even one friend to hangout with yet.
I don't know what i could be doing wrong but I want to fix it before i am outcasted as a weird kid.

plz help
>>
>>39657000
on the first day where I had my entry test I talked to both my neighbors and they seemed pretty chill. I don't understand how people can be this much of an outcast. Heads up anon, you will find some friends. What about your bench neighbors?
>>
>>39657200
The thing is that i don't try and seclude myself from others. I'm on a sports team and i seem to get along decently with my classmates and teammates. But at the end of the day i don't hangout/text/snapchat any of them. Meanwhile i look at their snapchat stories and see all of the fun they have with eachother.

I just have this feeling im unaprochable or not fun depite having a decent amount of normie friends in HS.
>>
>>39657359
Same, all I do with friends is sharing memes and talking about common interests. I mean I have two friends living next to me but these Assholes haven't managed to do anything with me for two years, every time I ask they have an excuse like "no time" or "family event"
>>
>>39656908
Well, I got depressed and I failed once.
I tried a second time, I lost touch with my friends who passed the first time and followed lectures in a different part of the city, got even more depressed and dropped out at the end of the semester.
I figured I had no interest in my major (physics) anymore, decided to try again, thinking it would be different this time, so I applied to a different major in the only university that wanted me.

How many do you guys work in college? How many hours can you get in?

Really depends where you are. I'm in UK and I've got 20 hours in term-time, not that I work.

Even if you exceed the hour limit, I doubt they would track you down desu.

I actually don't think my CC or the uni I'd like to transfer to have a limit on how much their students can work per week. I just want to work reasonable hours that don't interfere with my homework and studying.

90% of the normalfriends on those college boards say they work less than twenty hours a week, though, so I'm wondering if that's really what's in store for me.

Last week, the guy who was sitting next to me in my cs class was browsing reddit on the computer for literally an hour and a half straight without looking up at the professor. This motherfucker literally had a manbun, and looked like the reddit caricature in that average reddit user vs. average 4chan user meme.

It really distracted me from what the professor was trying to say, because every 5 seconds he would open up a new gif, and I was sitting behind him (relative to the professor), so I had to look past his computer to see the professor. At a certain point, the professor started broadcasting a powerpoint onto everyone's computer, which blocked out this guy's reddit viewing, so what did this plebbit do? He pulled out his phone and started browsing reddit on that.

I think the next time I go to class I'm going to start browsing /r9k/ while sitting next to him in order to assert my dominance/show my power level. Either that or i'll just sit somewhere else next time.
