I notice none of you said "make friends".

Maybe you all have an adequate social circle already, but friends are an academic goal too.
>>
>>8280015
Maybe, I don't care that much because my classes aren't presencial but one, and unfortunately my ex whom I ditched two weeks ago is enroled.

fuck.
However when I get into my career (physics) I hope to make good friends.

>tfw engineer
>people still don't like me
>only two friends I had in college are always "too busy" to hang out
I've given up desu

Goals:
Pass evening classes with 3.0 or greater
Figure out a project to work on with my advisor
Don't get fired
Lose 15 lbs
Don't let the despair and lonliness get to me

Noone here really cares about my plans so i wont bother

Only results matter
>>
Maintain 4.0 ChemEng GPA
Maintain my /fit/ body
But mostly importantly make me really strong connections. I get depressed when I don't have close friends to talk to in the semester and I value my happiness more than grades.

Actually, I got kinda fat this semester because I didn't work out. I loaded up lmao3plates the other day (which is a good amount for my manlet size), did 6 reps and then got a hemorrhoid fuck.

Oh well. Rate me /sci/

hemorrhoids fucking suck mang. I had surgery for that shit. It thrombosed and the pain was amazing. I would only wish that type of pain on muslims.

Plus like 7 people looked at my butthole over the course of 2-3 days which was cool.
>>
Im taking statics, intro materials engineering, intro to engineering and thermo 1. Hopefully i can get into comp sci, but im 8th on the waiting list for the only class that fits my schedule.

But im starting at my new uni and my goal is to not be a nervous wreck week one!
>>
I'll be taking the most classes I've ever taken... SIX

I'll probably end up dropping one before the semester starts, but I want to take a look at the syllabi first.

I had five for the first time last semester and it fucked my GPA a little bit.
>>
>>8277579

I just graduated. It will be my first semester not going to school and I don't like it. I wish I could go back without incurring massive debt. Self studying is good too.

Fuckery with lab equipment caused me to miss the deadline for an August Master's defense, so I guess I'll be doing my defense in September.

Following that, I'm going to get a couple of papers finished / reviewed /published and do an internship at the space agency, while deciding whether to go back for a PhD or get into industry to make some cash.

> Make friends

Friends... Careful now making friends may be a bad thing.

There are friends that are nice people who help and support you and there are the other type of 'friends' that use and distract you.

By making friends with the wrong people they could potentially fuck over your academics.

I've had asshole friends who wanted to try and copy my work and some would block my path and take up my time to explain something they didn't understand.

Sometimes I wish I never encountered these kinds of people, they're seriously annoying and I try my best to avoid them by lying.

I've had a so call 'friend' who I allowed them to have a look at my work to help them with theirs. Although he took my work and copied it entirely. We were both found of the offence of collusion, lucky enough the professor was nice and let us of warning.

For now on, whenever a friend asks me for help I just lie and say that 'I haven't started the work', 'I don't understand it either' or some other similar statement.
>>
finish all my exams

>>8277579
