If you're American this translates to loose fitting dark blue jeans, flat sole runners, collarless white shirt (bed shirt), black hooded jumper with sports branding, and everything is baggy.

So you had on a vineyard vines t shirt with non-cargo shorts and loafers with beige high-socks.

Lol not that much, I wish tho. But the rest is all true

No, if you're American this translates to being a native American.

It's one of the occasions where learning Japanese is useful besides reading raw manga and l. novels. Unfortunately though Mochizui's works seems amazing I'm also not interested in number theory.

poor dude.

Holy shit this humorous ancedote youve posted perfectly embodies my cs professor, he's almost 70 and remembers when we first got C at our college and had to switch from cobal or whatever the fuck. But he couldn't find his way around a smart phone if his life depended on it

>not putting your dotfiles in an online git repo
kek

Video games are for basement-dwelling losers with too much time on their hands.

Bang her, it's a good decision trust me you can thank me later

It was part of the degree plan, I mostly took classes that used C or Java anyways.
My project is broken to shit. I haven't had it updated since that presentation, so there is a lot of outdated dependencies. I would rather redo it, before I publish it.

Any tips Jow Forums?

My first day of college is in 30 days, could use some tips too

just be yourself and fucking study instead of playing video games.

Don’t wear headphones anywhere in public even at the computer lab. Don’t think people want to talk about consumer electronics. Hang out with your roommate even if he’s a tool, it will open doors.

Don't be one of those fags that sits in a lecture with a laptop open. Nothing but a distraction.

It's not high school, don't bring childish social politics with you.

You can love Thinkpads and not be a sperg OP.

> habe a girlfriend
> habe
Go back to africa, pls.

>don't bring childish social politics with you.
>implying college won't shove social politics down your throat whether you like it or not

...

nooit life is good here mon

No reason to bring a laptop to class in most circumstances. Use paper.
Hang out with everyone possible. If you're like I was, most people will seem like fags. You'll grow up the more you hang out with people you think you don't like and your personality will develop to be a more normal person.

Low effort troll. Fuck off Ivan

Good thing I'm not American. In germany that translates to tight fitting dark blue jeans, formal leather shoes, a relatively tight tshirt, all without any branding whatsoever
They cannot, it's a fairly thick fabric, i check all my tshirts in the mirror
>what are typos

What's so confusing? All the staff had to wear pins with he/him/his or whatever on them. And why does it matter what school?

Don't be homesick. Call your mom and pop often. Play all the videogames or whatever you do for fun 24/7 as these are the last days of your childhood.

I once went to my high school teacher after school and spent an hour explaining to him what free software is, why it's important, and why my old ThinkPad with Debian was better than his new MacBook. He was polite the entire time and asked me questions so I kept on going and going and going. After the hour, he finally must've gotten fed up and told me he had to leave soon, and goodbye. I put my computer in my bag, smiling, and left the room. As soon as I walked through the door I realized what I had done. It's been four years, and I haven't talked to him since. Before the incident, he was my favorite teacher of that semester and I think he admired me as a student, too. I'm retarded.

>Yeah but I'm sure my dick is bigger than yours.

Why don't you just post a picture of the greentext instead of transcribing it

Woah you're so deep

>not doing a mostly mathematics based cs course.
I have news for you and none of it is good

What exactly have you done? You simply educated him on important things in the cybernetic world. I would do the same. If he's too dumb not to realize the mistakes of his habits then that's his problem.

There's nothing worse than to let someone you like live in ignorance persisting in the same mistakes forever.

Thanks user. Rise up.

I took Calculus 3, Linear, Discrete, Calculus based Statistics, and Calculus based Physics. Trust me, the CS degree I got enforced Math as a minor.

I mean I know AI is based in a lot of math, but given that this is the only AI course offered by the university, I expected at least some applications of this stuff.

You need some breaks from the purely theory-based classes. I wish my university offered any kind of web dev or something where we built semi-real stuff.

>drop thinkpad
>hard drive dies
Nice fictional story. My T430 was stolen and they spent a good amount of time beating it. They broke the screen, and the plastic but the rollcage kept the internals (including the hard drive) intact. In fact, it would power on and I was able to SSH into it. The same hard drive is now in my X230, working flawlessly.

>first day of classes
>computers are provided in class
No need to bring anything at all to class

My cyber security class teacher concealed carries in class and invited students to do the same. It was a nice peaceful environment for learning.

>tfw I kind of want to go to college, but I'm worried I'll have to use proprietary software
Probably sounds funny to some of you, but I've cut it out of my life as much as possible at home, so I can't really deal with being forced to use it at this point. I have a similar worry about getting a job.

Just stop being a fag and keep your work/school away from your real life.

I don't really need money or care about a degree, though. I'm just bored of being a NEET. I think I'm in a decent position to be picky about this sort of thing.

I'm going into my sophomore year right now, so I know a few things about first year in college.

>Only get slammed on the weekends and start studying hardcore at least two weeks before midterms and finals, you'll be fine.
>YOU CANNOT DO MORE THAN 3 STANDARD DRINKS AN HOUR. College kids think they can drink way more than they can, don't give in to peer pressure and chants. Don't blackout but do get wasted.
>Never join a frat, don't pay for friends, don't even go to their parties unless you're a girl and dtf.
>Don't go out of your way to get a gf
>Always use a paid VPN and encrypt your traffic to pirate shit, colleges have good fucking networks that will catch that shit.
>If you can pirate a textbook online, do it that way, never fucking pay if you don't have to. lib gen is the best for this.
>People care way more about what others think of them then they care about what they think of others.
>ALWAYS FUCKING CHECK RATEMYPROFESSOR BEFORE YOU GO INTO A CLASS

Also double major in math.

Please be ironic

Do you count nonfree JavaScript as proprietary? If so, then you don't have much of a chance. You kind of need to use the schools online grade systems. Plus potentially whatever your school uses for email.

I don't pay attention to all the software I've used throughout college, but most of it (at least for CS) is open source. However, I do have to use Windows machines every once in a while, to print stuff, and for a couple of exams. Also, one or two classes used MatLab, but we used it through school provided computers/remote virtual desktops. I did try using GNU Octave once, and I managed to get a few things done, although that entire experience was hot garbage.

College is a waste of time unless you have a clear goal. I wasted a year in college because I treated it like "super high school" and loaded up my schedule from early morning to afternoon. I blew through the classes I needed in two semesters, and then I was called in by some advisor and he was saying "You need to start thinking about choosing a major, you've run out of credit classes to take" and that's when I realized, fuck, what I actually want to do with my life? Dropped out right then and paid off the loans straight up before wasting any more time/money. Fast forward about a decade and here we are, still have no fucking clue what I want to do with my life, but at least I don't live with soul crushing debt.

girls are really into that kinda shit user

Thanks. I think I needed to see this. I haven't got an idea what I really want to do either. I had imagined doing CS, but I've been shit at programming on my own, so I can't imagine things would go well in college either.

you could say the same about ricing

At least with ricing you might get some benefit. You don't want to have your system looking like garbage if you spend a lot of time on it.
