Might as well just end it.

way to waste your time

Not really. Simply means less studying during semesters and better grades as I cover the material again

Every time I've tried to cover material independently, I've only done a few problems/pages of reading, but this has always helped give me the little confidence boost I need.

Independent study is always good, go for it OP. Of course if you're really making your way through courses then you should try and work some way to not have to waste your time.

>spend the summer already preparing my PhD thesis while technically still in undergrad
>tfw I already studied everything else on my own

Get on my level, brainlet. Oh wait, you can't.

I'm sure it will look very lovely in the university's library, where it will remain untouched.

>>7947813

I don't know anything else except independent study. Learned maths from pre-algebra up to calc 3 over 2 years (with a lot shit posting and good posting on sci during that time) and then sat an alternative entrance exam to get into university as I didn't have official credits.

>more money
>more applicable experience
>makes letters of recommendation from your boss easier

more important than getting a jump start on material imo.

We all know you only last about 45 seconds, but there's no reason to broadcast it to the entire board.

So far I've taken summer quarter every year.

>he's too dumb to come up with his own thesis topic

I try to do this but end up procrastinating and just drink all summer.

>>7947833
Are you stupid?
You can do that for a Master's, but a PhD requires an original thesis and original work.

>>7947987

Do you know any people with PhDs? Because I know many. The work is still original, you dummy.

>>7947996
Axtually, I do, and they all cam up with and submitted their own theses.

>>7947999

I call utter bullshit. Universities are not going to waste funding on letting follow their dreams. They fund PhDs for research they actually want, not some random shit some recently graduated undergrad or msfag thought up.
