Does anybody here like to learn about stuff on their own, outside

Numberphile

Is numberphile a website? I suppose I can google that, but I am also interested in learning as much as I possiblt can about anything and everything. Just enrolled in my first year of college, (20 years old), I want to be an aerospace engineer or at least have that degree. I'm trying to stary my own business based on whatever my friends and I can come up with while at a 4 year school.

90% of the stuff I know I learnt it on the internet.

Im from fucking Argentina and I speak english because I spent my entire life browsing internet, becauses school's english is shit. Im the only one of all my former classmates who does.

I would say internet is becoming a nice substitute for schools BUT you need to develop more skills than just studying (science implied), you have to practice an sport, a language and an art.

Also, what works for me is downloading PDF's and printing them, is way more cheaper and I can highlight text while writing on it, usually printed text helps me more than internet videos or webpages.

I'm still and undergrad but what I've been learning as of late is just taking the initiative to learn what you want. With resources like your university/college library and the Internet you can more or less teach yourself alot of material. Only downside is you are not getting the hands on which is why you should find a good internship over what you like to actually learn the physical skills. If I could I would just be doing lab work all the time because most classes feel like 90% busy work and wasted time in lecture.

That's neat. I am taking some baby steps to try to learn Japanese from the internet. Good to know that it is possible.

Every single programming technique, I of course learned from the internet. College was a big waste of time.

Seeing as I haven't been in class in years.
Yeah
> Give me some advice... cuz I'm finding it hard to find the motivation for this.
I don't know what to tell you.
My searches/studies always start with "I want to know thing" or "Why is this that way?"
Then it becomes an obsessive pursuit.
Do you not have any burning questions living inside you?
What's that like?

Do Anki for your first 2000 Kanji then start reading doujin and VNs.

It's normal for future mathematicians and physicists. Although it's a bit different than what you're talking about. You have to learn all sorts of things and eventually you'll be learning stuff that so few people know there are no classes for them. Thankfully these are usually written down in books or whatever.

I think I perhaps do, but I haven't been introspective enough to discover them.

Any questions I conjure up always seem somehow contrived. I question whether or not I really am curious about that thing or not.

I probably have a mental illness.

I learn way too much stuff on the side. It's like I am already way more interested in the stuff I do in my free time so I don't study for my actual major anymore.

There are a ton of books for free on the internet. Especially if you have a university license, you can pretty much get anything. That + countless guides and forums, it's easy af to learn stuff by yourself.

Just do whatever interests you. Bonus points if it has to do something with your major

If you don't do this you shouldn't be in a university
