Sounds fucking comfy. I wish I could do that.
This semester's so fucked. I can't wait for basketball season. Our team's dogshit and our best player left at the end of last season, but playing in the band for it is probably one of the few things I still enjoy about this university.
so do it

i had a good STEM internship and still ended up as a NEET who moved back with his parents at 30.

Life is shit, nepotism is the way you get good jobs, if you have no friends/family to help you, might as well accept your failure in life
You mean OJT. Its still a year and a half away
I don't want to sound like a tit but i got sort of a problem.
Long story short, I speak to nobody in uni, none, 0, except one dude.
Now this dude, is legit autistic. He's like 30 and taking first year classes, constantly gets classes mixed up, doesnt talk to anyone in there etc, on top, he follows me around like i'm his big brother.
Honestly, i wouldnt have no problem with it and i know how stupid this sounds coming from someone autistic like me, but he just cant hold a conversation. He says hi, sits next to me and stays silent until i try to say something, then cant continue the talk. On the rare time he'll try starting conversation by saying something generic and i try to be polite and talk to him but its just hard.
Bottom line is, and i know i sound like an asshole, how can i get him off me? I just want to be left alone. Is this how girls feel?
Oh god, these are the worst. I had this sort of thing in 9th grade with a severely autistic guy my mom volunteered to carpool with (we just drove him to school every day). He thought that meant I was his new best friend. I hated him and was done being nice after a month. I just told him I was busy studying all the time and had no time to talk to people. I "wanted to focus on school right now" and we also got out of driving him.
Finally, he tried to constantly hang out after class and I ended up being honest. He freaked out and tried to punch me so I used it as an excuse to never talk to him again.
Just say that you are trying to focus on school right now and don't have any time for friends. You are more important. user. Your relationship sounds like it's worth nothing anyway.

Why am I so fucking autistic that I allow this to happen to myself?
Jeez, i dont think i can do that, mainly because we dont really do 'friend stuff' that takes time. He just sits next to me on lectures and on the bus. I dont really have an excuse.
Honestly, i feel sad for him because he truly is wizard, chrischan material and honestly must feel like im his bro for tolerating him
>pretty, tanned qt stands next to me on the bus
>I think about her for the rest of the day
She had this simple but elegant style that I really like too, we got off on the same stop and she looked back at me at some point, I think she might have thought I was going to follow her. That wouldn't make sense considering I waked towards the exit first though.
Also, classes started on Monday, I went to one that I still haven't passed from the 1st semester, I'm now in the 7th, and it was filled to the brim, I had forgotten that about 1st semester classes. What a nightmare, I'll wait till the 4-5th lecture till I attend again. I'm taking 8 fucking classes these semesters so I can attempt to catch up. I always start so energetically and burn out after 2 or at most 3 weeks.

Fuck this. I'm dropping out and learning welding.
I wish there was a magic answer, but honesty is the most straightforward and ghosting is the most effective.
I'm sorry I don't have better advice for you. That was my experience and outcome.
thanks for at least replying, user, i really wanted to get this out of my chest. I just hope that once i pass these classes and dont share any with them, he'll stop following me, so i'll just have to play along this year
I'm in grad school specifically with the intention of becoming a professor. My research is my education, and it is also my "relevant work experience".

Additionally, what is the most realistic outcome happening after (if and when) you finish school?

There's this indian girl in my class whose avoided by everyone because she can't do her assignments properly. Everytime there's groupwork I feel bad for her.
I talk to her sometimes. Should I form a group with her? But I don't want to get my GPAs buttfucked by a pajeet who can't even bothered to do anything properly.
Is it bad that I'm doing master without taking up part time internship or whatever? What is everyone else doing with their free time?
I just want to take off and go somewhere far away. I'm so sick of this shit. I got money for a a few weeks worth of cheap motels, it just sucks knowing that I won't find a job anywhere I go.

the majority of people have careers unrelated to their major so don't give up hope. you're smart for taking a business degree since you'll have something to fall back on.
yeah but my heart isn't in it and idk why, i just don't like it. don't know what else i could in uni.

It's all so tiresome, and I feel so isolated. Some of what I do in college is kind of interesting, but it can often just feel routine and uninteresting. Nobody else talks to me, people barely acknowledge my existence. I travel a very long distance just to get to and from college every day, and it leaves me with very little time to do anything I enjoy. Even then, after all I've been through in the day, I always end up just feeling extremely tired in the evenings.
If they invite you to a group they should include you in conversation until you are comfortable enough to be an independent member. They broke the rules, but because they are already part of the group there is little incentive for them to use proper etiquette.
You were used as an ego buffer and that's not cool. :(

I feel you user. I was like you last year, and even then I didn't find anything interesting in my study at all so it was all just suffering
Fuck off and get some interests besides calling people you've never met faggots. I regret even sharing a planet with the two of you.
Nope, I genuinely feel as though I'm a lone soul here and people could care less. It's as though I'm only interesting because of how I work and produce cool things.
trying to get an undergrad internship at the supreme court, wish me luck anons
I made friends with a Swiss qt and whenever she sees me for the first time that day her face lights up and she waves. I know its just her being polite, but she does it in such a nice way.
I hope she likes me as much as I like her.
I burn with jealousy whenever shes talking to another guy, especially if its obvious that that person has a similar relationship to her that I do.
I dont know if she has a bf back home either. She has a picture with a guy captioned with a heart from last year and she appears in pictures with that guy up until August or something, but maybe it was a mutual split or something.
I feel sick right now, Ive not had a crush for so long and Ive not had a friendship with a girl for even longer
Graduated 4 years ago now. The course prospectus went at great lengths to promote it's "industry contacts", "work experience opportunities" and chance to spend a semester abroad on an exchange program.
All of it turned out to be false. The smart ones realised the first day of our second year that we'd been conned.
Calc II test tomorrow. Things aren't looking good.
Good luck man! Work quietly, don't tell anyone of your plans (parents if it's an absolute necessity), and make the most out of life's opportunities whether or not you do get it.
>Want to transfer

The school matters MUCH more that which degree it is. And a side projects portfolio and networking is a necessity.

What do I do robots? For some reason no matter what I do I can get the energy/motivation to get shit done. Even thinking about the massive amount of debt Im going to have doesn't convince me to get my work done. I don't have money for Adderall and feel like I could actually do well if I could just put in the effort.
Wish there was a solution to this. Especially talking to groups of girls, they're always so intimidating. Like they don't want me to be there just because I'm a guy. They have their own conversations. Form their own little groups and leave me trailing behind.
And about "last year's qt". Have you completely moved on? How much did you like her? Her actions may be showing nothing more than simple friendship.
One of the worst feelings in the world. Like you have no direction. No ground to push yourself off from. Just floating aimlessly with nothing to grab hold of. A vicious cycle. Do you live in halls? Staying at home makes everything much harder.
Try joining clubs or societies. Good opportunities to meet new people and make friends. Just be relaxed. What course are you doing? How is the workload? I hope you can get some time for yourself in.
Does she seem like a nice person, putting the poor performance aside? Are the groups formed by the students? Always easier to leave it up to chance, or the teachers. You don't need to be working together to be friends.
You did nothing wrong. They invited you to the group and failed to make you feel at ease. They are not worth your time, no matter how little you think of yourself.
Don't understand what the problem is with indie rock and no drugs/drinking/partying. Maybe consider loosening up a little. But only do things you're reasonable comfortable doing. Clubs are a good way of having fun, and you might end up talking to some people afterwards. Do you commute or live in halls? Pre drinks are also acceptable.
Check in with your doctor's if you have adhd or add. It runs in my family and I've unknowingly suffered through it when I could've just gotten help.
What's the best degree for a cop? Law?
I'm tired of being a NEET
you really dont need a college degree to be a cop, most departments just want high school diplomas but if you want to go all out I guess justice or pre-law
Same problem here. Except I fucked it up. In a work group with a perfect (in my eyes, at least) girl. Very quiet but still likes partying occasionally, photographer, doing the same subject as me, adorable mannerisms. Asked her out and she said she only wants to be friends. Can't look her in the eye anymore. Feelings are fading slowly, but not sure they'll ever go away completely.
Jealousy is a terrible feeling. Necessary, but destructive. Especially if the relationship is one-sided. No awareness on the other end. Best course of action is to keep being friends with her for the time being. Have fun without expectations. Learn more about her. Talk about some deep stuff. Find out if you can make a move. If it doesn't work out, you'll know if you can still continue being friends or if you have to let it go.
Why do you like her? How much do you know about her? The level of attachment is important. Pining over someone you barely know is dangerous. This is my problem, and there is no solution for me.
Why do you need a degree to shoot niggers?
My brother has ADD, but it's not a lack of attention it's motivation
>Do you live in halls?
Nah. Home. At least i live alone
I'm studying chemistry and it doesnt look so good. I want to join a club but i dont really know where to find them to choose from. Besides, last year was a waste because of depression, medication and stuff not meme depression, i couldnt study for shit. i need to pass all my classes this year or i'm toast, so i dont think i could spend time for clubs.
Theres a lot of stuff to study and having nobody to help you is hell. Its a stereotype here that student-student help can only get you to pass a class, knowing people who have already passed it telling you what to study. I dont have those luxuries
Not american, where i live everyone with no degree is considered a white trash subhuman
I have moved on, but the qt I met from last year was so happy to see me that she contacted me from Facebook (I only ever use it for work related things) saying that she'd like to have a drink with me so I dunno. I aggreed of course, and I'd like to see where this goes.
Sounds like you live in an awful, backwards country considering most degrees are a net detriment to earnings.
Greece, brother?
I'm slavic so yeah i guess
Sadly, no
But i was there on holiday once, it was nice
Do enlighten me on how your knowledge in what I presume is an English major invalidates my entire legitimacy as a human being, you bellend.
I listed those things out as characteristics of myself that makes me interesting to people, I guess. The clubs here (I'm at a small liberal arts college in Texas) are definitely quite cool, but it feels as though I'm making far more colleagues and acquaintances than I am genuine friends. I honestly don't think there's a single person here I've had a genuine conversation with so far, and this is coming from someone who sees himself as being extremely social and "cool with everyone." I live in a freshman hall, but my schedule is totally out of line with those of my hallmates and suitemates, which is why I never run into them anymore. I don't get invited to hang out, I don't sit with anyone when I eat, and most of my free time is devoted to my hobbies and homework rather than having fun with others.
Maybe it's all in my head and the only thing I have to do is to be more inclined to approaching people. Maybe people just don't want to be around me. I have no idea.
>try to tacitly find out if she has a bf
>if not write poems about her
>after you aren't in her class tell her they were about her
either you get your qt or you look like a sperg. shoot your shot
>what I presume is an English major

Any Idaho Vandals here? I've seen people browsing /tv/ and /v/ during class but never r9k
Im a sophomore currently studying computer science, but Im thinking of switching majors. I really like math and have an interest in computers, but I cant stand the absolute fucking monkey work that is programming. Im thinking of switching either to computer engineering or artificial intelligence. Thoughts?
I don't know what computer engineering is, and I'm sure you can't get a degree in artificial intelligence.
Common misconception, when people say
>I could care less
they really mean
>I can afford to care less
or, more obviously,
>If I cared less, nothing bad would happen
His grammar is correct, not that grammar is even the right word for that in the first place
>Didnt know i needed an access code for hw
>Already missed 5 hw assignments
Don't worry about hallmates. I hardly ever see mine. Some people connect with theirs, and some don't. Hit and miss. This is to be expected. You say you don't feel like you are making friends in the clubs. Have you been proactive in building friendships? Make suggestions. Create plans and invite people. Sometimes you need to pave the way for others to follow. It may be that you will enjoy the company of those people, but you just don't know it yet.
I believe this was the right choice. Maybe the best way for guys to succeed in romantic terms is not to get too invested straight away. Keep an open mind. Last year's qt may make you forget about the current one, she may not. Be curious about the outcome. Life is one big, absurd experiment that likes to make people suffer. There are moments where I like to treat it as a sick joke, and point fun at it.
Both versions have the same meaning. If you say "I could not care less," it would mean that you have reached the very bottom of how much you could care. There is nothing below. It is the extreme. Either version has a negative tone, so it doesn't make a difference.

Does anyone know a good online platform for keeping diary entries? For example, uploading .txt files and having them be public. I don't know. I'm imagining a site where you stick emotions and stories on a wall like notes, and you share your wall with other people.
I would like to have a personal digital space to post my feelings and let the whole world look at them if it wants to.
