let's see how I do on the practice quizzes here.
My "plan":
>do work at a genetics company this summer (after year 2)
>do a research project with a professor next summer (after year 3)
>try to get an internship at a big company like GlaxoSmithKline or Astrazeneca the summer after (after masters)
Life is hard
>be electrical engineering student
>working in a factory doing drop out high school kind of work
>stare at plastic tubes and check them for rips basically... all ... fucking... day
>Applied to tons of other internship places because I NEED to get out
>All the jobs start before my current internship ends
>Not really held by anything legally, it's just an oral agreement
>Soon as a get a job offer going to make the demand that I stop doing bullshit work and start learning something related to my degree
>Leave them if they dont do it
Best part is everyone at work loves me, the two other interns are aspie as fuck. (One girl insults people whenever they try to talk to her and is ugly as sin). So i'll just put on a nice smile, smooth talk it over, and they'll give me a job offer in a year even though I broke a promise.
Not so bad for me.
Last week I turned in an assignment at the exact time it was due (11:55pm) and it was marked late. Today my roastie professor said that she would accept it; apparently late work equals zero points.
I have an Acute Care exam tomorrow and it seems I'll be able to make it if I pull an all nighter. I'm just shitposting right now, but I guess I will just leave for today if I want to pass this exam.
Good luck robots and fucking get off the internet if you want to get stuff done. Hide your phones, etc. We are all going to make it.
>be civil engineering student
>cant get internship
>get interviews and fail at them
Why does it have to be such a bitch to get an internship?
Chemistry exam tomorrow and I just started reviewing, don't remember learning any of this shit. I'm just burnt out and lost all motivation. I do feel a slight sense of a panic but also there's some sort of inertia that's blocking me from caring. I can also feel the tiredness starting to hit me. Fuckkkk.
You can do it OP keep grinding, maybe take a quick nap if you have the time and you trust yourself to wake up and not sleep through an alarm.
I kid you not I have applied to over 300 internships in the past year. Over 200 to get the first one and now over 100 for this summer.
I have done over twenty interviews now and often times I get rejected solely on schedules mismatching or HR not understanding my skill sets.
Companies are unpredictable black boxes and will be two face. Keep applying every fucking day and try to learn from your failed interviews.
>electrical engineering student
>trying to figure out digital electronics textbook to torrent to study for the upcoming exam
>prof's notes are just a bunch of pictures that tying make sense unless you went to class
>didn't go to class
Anyone got any recommendations for good textbooks?
Surprise! Knowing people and having a personality are 99% of it. Learn that quickly.
Fuck you uni fags I wish you lot nothing but failure and misery.
how about you just read the fucking sylllabus fucking retard
I have a 7 page research paper due in 10 days and a 4 page history report due in 4 and I haven't done the research for either. Contemplating suicide desu.
> Cant write a page a day
Kill yourself.
Only thing Ive learned is don't stutter during the your opening statement. But I cant control it, I was nervous AF during my last one and I didn't even want it cause it would mean an hour and half drive to work, and an hour and half back.
I don't know what to do but, I'm running out of time. May just have to do warehouse work or somethin this summer
So true. I constantly hear my classmates talking about
>I know x person at the company they got me an interview
Wish I had that advantage but I just get the shaft
>I wish you lot nothing but failure and misery.
You don't need to wish that, its already happening.
Fucking kill me
>engineering student
>had a 32/100 on second test
>feel good because class average was 21/100
How do you guys survive the summer? At least during the semester I have to go out for classes a few times a week even though I don't talk to anyone. During the summer I just stay in my tiny little room and sit on the computer. I don't have things to keep me occupied so I start thinking too much, the existential dread kicks in and I realize how fucked my shit is.
What do you guys do?
Yeah, knowing someone is so fucking helpful. All the good internships are usually gotten from networking.
I already am networking, but it's harder to do without Mommy and Daddy's help. I have been talking to a Cornell professor about doing research for him. Hopefully he'll give me an offer, met him through a club I do.
I remember those nights well OP, looks like you're in for an all-nighter.
Grab some energy drinks. You got any adderall?
I remember when I was in college I almost reached this Zen-like state when I had assignments due the next day and the pressure was on. You'll be fine, just start writing now.
The recommended textbooks are shit fuckface
I do loner stuff like biking to the coffee shop (even though it's like four miles away) and reading a book for like three hours. Walk in parks, play games with friends online, be apart of the local community (going to festievals and things that interest me).
Also love getting really drunk with high school friends.
Anyone been caught cheating before? I just cheated on something and think I may get caught. Fuck, I should've listened to the other user from the last thread. Feel like I'm on track to expulsion if I get caught now and this looming neurosis has taken over my soul. I don't think it's going away till my work gets graded and I find out if I got caught or not, which is like another month. Fuck, shoulda taken the 0, now I'm in a constant state of stress.
During the summer I go home. Actually have friends from high school back home and am on good terms with family. So, I actually get to see friendly faces.
Also, I read alot. Last Summer I read
>Starship troopers
>Ringworld
>The forever war
>Caves of Steel
>The Naked Sun
>Robots of Dawn
>Robots and Empire
>I, Robot
>Robot Visions
>Lord of the Rings
I have a 1.52 GPA. I'm in second semester and am currently on academic probation. How fucked am I lads?
don't let that make you paranoid and go into psychosis, user.
How do you have such a low gpa?
>becoming an intern
Co-op's the move
Seems like all places I find to apply to are hiring interns. Would do a co-op otherwise
I failed almost every class. Acct200, EF151, Math142. I'm a horrible student, was hot shit in high school. I think i might be developing some mental illness, probably just wishful escapism.
>"there's some sort of inertia that's blocking me from caring"
As someone who doesn't know what physical or figurative inertia is, what does this actually mean?
co-op = intern
I just say intern because that's what the fags understand.
nah you most likely have depression or adhd if you're doing so shit.
Oof. Wish me luck lad.
I was the same as you my first couple semesters and I'm still stumbling my way through, barely passing. I had to take precalc like 5 times and I late dropped it my first semester. Academic probation isn't too bad though, I managed to dig my way out of it in one semester. Just take one or two easy gen eds that'll boost your gpa up.
go to a psychiatrist, tell them you're failing university and tell them some symptoms
I know worrying about it isn't gonna do me any good and I usually don't fret when I cheat but for some reason I'm getting very bad vibes about getting caught this time. I just hope I don't get expelled and fucked for life.
>project due tomorrow
>literally 0% complete
>midterm tomorrow
>completely unprepared
>1 month until summer starts no internship lined up
i should just end myself now
first time is usually just a zero and a warning, user.
>Putting off a research paper until the last minute
>Not realizing the compilation which is the paper is the hardest and longest bit
>Confusing tension headache with any other type of headache
You deserved this
Not at all. 0 GPA first semester of college.
Next semester got like a C average... did horrible the next one too...
Parents pulled me out, found out I had a massive pot and videogame addiction. Ended up going to 3 different universities. Took me 8.5 years to graduate. Went beta neet videogame masturbation mode for far too long, but I was abright kid with a good heart; just couldnt get ocer being a lazy loser.
At some point things started to click, I matured, had my setbacks but ended up graduating with a 3.3 GPA (Cum Laude) Engineering Degree. When I walked on stage I nearly cried after all the stress I had been through, It was one of the greatest moments of my life.
Dont be like me. Drop out of school, gain some age and wisdom and get a shit job for 2-3 years and go back a fucking man and get a 4.0 (Start off at a community college). I wish I had.
Alright. That's sound advice. Thanks broski
Are you the user who copied his classmate's code or something for the 3rd time?
Fuck, user. We warned you and you didn't listen. I hope you dont get caught though.
>on academic probation

??????
fuckin congrats on making it tho
Holy fuck. I imagine starting an engineering career in your late 20's is a bitch tho. Good fer ya'
I have a 2.2 GPA and got kicked out from the faculty of science for 5 years
My mom and my grandpa are insisting that I take spring term courses
It would be a second year psychology course
Would you say it's a bad idea?
That wouldn't be so bad. I remember the professor saying he'll also drop your final grade by a letter as well but as long as I don't feel expulsion I think I could accept that and move on. Thanks for the glimmer of hope.
Yeah, I contemplated what you guys told me for like 30 minutes straight and it was due at midnight. I panicked and didn't know what to do. I turned it in, then deleted it, then turned it in again and I was thinking about deleting it again right as I ran out of time. I should've listened, at least I wouldn't have this worrisome weight on my shoulders right now. Hope things work out. Thanks for the advice yesterday.
yeah depends on the university. read up on your syllabus
>go to class every day
>take notes and review after class
> make a 76 on my exam
>dont go to class
>dont read the book
>cram everything the day before the exam
>get a 95
How is this even possible, anons? I feel like I'm not learning anything, but at least I'm not failing. Not complaining though, i guess people "learn" in different ways.
I don't learn anything in class either and am mostly their for the attendance. I had this truly exceptional professor last year though, and he made it so even my dumb ass learned the material. It was his first year too. But for most classes, I either zone out or just don't retain the material and have to learn it myself, usually the day before the test. Most people I talked to also said that they just learned everything on their own either with the text book or with other online shit. Most professors are shit at teaching and the class sizes are so big too, it's just not a good learning environment 9 times outta 10.
Godspeed, user. People make absurd decisions when cornered, just make sure you dont make the same mistake again. If you insist though, take your sweet time and refine your cheating skills.
1.0 shit GPA and got kicked out of UNI.
Community College will take u with any GPA. Graduated from there. The CC had a deal with a local Uni for automatic acceptance if you graduate with an Associates. At the time the Uni accepted all students to their engineering program without additional requirements, so I got in.
The university erased all my GPA transfer history so I got to star over. VERY lucky.
Youre probably very young. Late twenties is a little fucking kid in any industry. It was actually not a big deal at all. (I also look young for my age)
You are correct. Now that you mention it, I never learned anything when I went to lecture and had learn everything on my own. No wonder skipping class has been a positive change.
>tfw your only class canceled is tomorrow
time to get comfy
Ye, I just turned 19. If what you say is true. I'll probably seek a master's.
yeah i transferred in similarly to my college as well, but i fucked up a semester once i got in tho
1 F and 1 C was enough to bring me down from a 3.6 to a 3.3, i'm a junior now so i don't even have the opportunity to bring it up.
i'm pretty sure being below 3.5 locked me out of so many opportunities
Its a bad idea until you fix the reasons you did poorly. If you cant legitimately sit down, make plans, organize your schedule, and make a full time job out of class + study, then you shouldnt be studying or in school.
Yeah I never did any full time studying. Spending a few days before exams cramming would be the max. But then it's fucking psychology so might be doable.
Uh okay go for it bro....?
nah I don't think I will. the only spring term course I've ever taken so far was English, and English was doable.
I envy you so much. I'm comfy right now in my bed but I am dreading tomorrow because I have a presentation and then have fucking work
>need a near perfect score on my circuit analysis final to graduate
>if I don't graduate my job offer will be terminated
>the last of my savings paid for this semester and my scholarships end this term
I'm in the midst of the greatest gamble of my life lads. The final is at the start of May and I'm gonna start working this weekend. It's been a long time since I've felt this motivated and excited.
>last quiz in cognitive psychology tomorrow
>spent all day shitposting on the main and studying on the side
am i fucked? I currently have a B in this course
Are you ?
Get your story straight buddy
yeah I felt confident in it until I realized how much time I spent shitposting and not actually studying. Doing the practice quiz will tell me how off I am
is it worth going into uni only to be in deep debt and in job seeking hell?
It appears you may have already answered your question
>tfw sophomore
>tfw finally realize Uni is a meme
>tfw going to drop out
Just fucking kill me lads. I have so much shit to do between uni and work that I'm thinking about ending it all.
>psychology
For what purpose? What kind of job are you planning to get once you gtaduate?
What are you majoring in?
College is indeed a meme if you are going for english, arts, music, psychology, history and shit like that.
hoping to get a master's and become a psychologist or something
sounds very unlikely with my shitty low GPA but I just can't continue doing chemistry anymore
no motivation to study, keep getting fail marks in analytical chemistry, labs are long, failed the midterm at 25~30%...
after first year i already quit chemistry and tried to pick up computer science, but as a brainlet I just couldn't. Failed the second basic Python programming course, and barely passed discrete math. then after i was required to withdraw I appealed it due to mental health reasons and my mom told me to do chemistry again.
I blame my mom for everything that happened. Foolishly I chose chemistry again because I have first year credits in it and psychology felt like it would leave me jobless

Not in a uni
At a 2 year college
Basically failing freshman year over here
Parents still think everything is fine.
I literally can't even, I don't even know wtf I want to do to make money
All my friends are getting honors in 4 year scholarship funded colleges with promising starts
*psychiatrists
Psychology and other soft """"""sciences"""""" are worse than useless: they give the illusion of utility to brainlets and roasties, thereby contributing their parents money and their own life-long debt to an ever expanding excruciatingly bloated education system.
-user
psychiatrists can prescribe drugs, otherwise there is no real difference. whatever you think of things, its clear the world values psychologists as seen with the projected growth rates
let me guess, you're an engineer/CS student
my liberal arts therapist saved my life from hanging myself, so education well spent I suppose.
Only summer and fall classes left and then I am finally free from this hell
You deserve a medal for that user. If I were in your position I would have likely been over with anxiety that I wouldn't have finished anything. Keep it up my man
Well lads, I did it. I asked the Chinese qt in my class if she wanted to grab a coffee, and she said yes! I got her number and we're probably gonna meet up this weekend. To the user I made the pact with: dude, go for it! Talk to your girl tomorrow after class, it'll go great!
Anyways, I suppose this is goodbye forever Jow Forums. I'll miss you guys
Wow congratulations user. I'm jealous

It'll take a year of good grades (B+ to A- tier) and grade replacements to unfuck your shit

Have finals next week on a class that I haven't attended since second week of school
At cc and uni both I'd have been dropped for that
In a simular-ish thing.
My digital systems prof gave us code for our homework to use.
Made sure to show people in class it worked on a FPGA board.
Download it from class website
>doesnt fucking work.
I dont know if he made it as a joke for people who copied it rather than retyping it, but he requires it (or something that does the same thing) to be used in the next homework assignments.

Honestly its not even a uni problem.
I just thought it wouldn't happen again once in uni.
Thanks for the good wishes guys! I hope it works out too; she seems really nice and we already have a couple things in common. We'll see!
