who /swamped, exhausted, and beat by university/?
there is so much fucking work to do in the next few weeks on top of daily chores and transit...
im not cut out for this life
>>24471093
Just wait til you get a real job
It's 6am, I have my biochem exam in a few hours. So sleepy, I wish I was a neet
>>24471093
15,000 word thesis due in 3 weeks, only 1/2 done. Fucking lost it today at my compete inability to not second guess every single thing I do.
By contrast, grad school is full of down time. If you don't learn how to manage it, you spend three years staring into a wall like I did.
>tfw all your profs love you so you're just milking the extension cow
Ahhhhh so nice
>>24471120
real job is actually easier than school
school is pretty much 24/7 if you want to do it right
work is 9-5 and nothing is expected of you outside of those hours in 99.99% of jobs.
>>24471207
Depends on the job.
I've got professional exams that cost about 1600 pounds in total. And I have to study for that in my own time. On top of doing on calls that include nights and weekends.
PLEASE HELP ME
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE
I've given up. There's no way for me to find success in this type of environment even if that's all I want out of life.
Was doing physics/maths, now Im a full time NEET who scams benefits for every cent I can get. No le fucks given
Same. If I had to do a job as well, I wouldn't be able to do this at all. I also only have classes 2x a week, so that's been really helpful. . . schedule wisely.
>>24471829
what's wrong?
>>24471844
don't be stupid. If it's really all you want out of life, then you just have to find a way.
Win Rocky. Win.
>>24471928
The problem is that I'm on the wrong track. I want more than anything to be well educated, but I'm not getting that out of what I'm currently studying.
>Win Rocky. Win.
Rocky still lost in the end (I don't acknowledge the existence of the sequels.)

>work is 9-5 and nothing is expected of you outside of those hours in 99.99% of jobs.
Unfortunately this as common for salary positions. You are expected to respond to email and do short bursts of work on the weekend if your boss hands you something important.
yes good goy go to my overpriced school and get that useless degree. enjoy your wageslave years after uni working at mcdonalds
>2000-2500 word essay due tonight
>No extensions possible
>Depression worse than ever
>Only have 900 words
>Classes all day
>>24472259
You can do it my friend.
I know this feel and you will triumph.
>two years behind everyone
>two additional exams left over from last year in this examination session
>dissertation supervisor basically says she's been trying to discourage you from picking her topic because you'll fail
>can't focus
>constantly tired without a reason
>noone to talk to about it
I don't think things would be any better without uni but I want to disappear before I flunk again and disappoint everyone.
I'm such a fucking failure.
> 3 semesters in university comp. science
> failed first and second semester (only succeeded in one subject)
> repeating 1 semester
> failing again
I can't just bring myself to spend time learning, I know the consequences but I can't fucking do it. I always tell myself "today you will learn" and I will end up doing nothing. help me
>>24472344
>>can't focus
>>constantly tired without a reason
>>noone to talk to about it
This is how I feel all of the time. I'm thinking of running away too, but I don't know how I'd deal with my debt.

>get so nervous about my oral exam in 30 minutes that I haven't eaten a single thing all weekend
>>24472410
same, i'm failing right now too and just failed a couple classes on the first quarter of the year, it honestly got to such a bad point, i had to go on the internet and look at some kindergarten type website that showed me how to do good in calculus using a fucking cat called Pierre
It seemed stupid and kiddy but i had a test afterwards and i aced it 100%.
I swear the only way i can learn in school is by fucking colorful pictures and idiot like explanations
>>24472410
Me too. I start studying an hour before tests despite not having anything else to do on the weekends and knowing full well that's not nearly enough.
And when there's more than one assignment I plan out my work then just get stressed and shut down.
>>24472620
>oral exam
>>24472410
Just do it, literally just do it. There is no other advice that will work for you if you don't JUST DO IT.
>>24472491
I'm sorry anon. Hope you're not in as much of a shitty situation as me and you'll power through.
>>24472670th-thanks that actually helped some
Who else /fell for the college meme/?
It was too late before I realized I was shaping my life goals around a college education, instead of realizing my goals first which may or may not have included college.
Now I'm on my third major after switching twice and just want to be done, I just want to join the Army. I don't even think I'll graduate in four years (started in 2013)
My parents would disown me if I dropped out, I brought up the subject once and I thought my mom was going to have heart failure
In the meanwhile my only outlet is bitching anonymously on r9k because i don't have any friends
I have an exam next week that I have to pass if I want to get into my uni's nursing program. Luckily I have all of Thanksgiving break to study for it. God do I love America.
>>24472620
I hate learning new languages. English is fine and objectively easier to talk in.
>>24472611
>college made me retake every high school math class
>better at math than ever before
>>24471093
I had some kind of mental breakdown three weeks ago and I haven't done any work since. I'm just going to let it burn and maybe at the end of the semester I'll kill myself.
>>24473048
>my parents would disown me if i dropped out
To be honest, this is the only reason i'm in college, i just wanna drop out and go NEET, people can talk shit about them all they want but at least NEETs are enjoying their lives
>>24472714
Thanks anon. I don't know why I'm so lazy. I only have to keep at it for a couple of years and it will be completly worth. I'm going to stuy now
>multivariable calc, differential equations, biology, and linear algebra finals in two weeks
>haven't had a day off since the semester started between work and school
>acknowledge that I'm spread too thin this semester
>schedule 3 math classes and a physics class next semester even though I know it will be too much
>>24473207
>mfw my last two semesters I was doing 6 separate math classes
Most exams I managed to pass was 4/6. Dropped out shortly after.
Guys i'm scared. I just finished high school and i'm gonna start my comp science degree in february of the next year. i'm pretty good at math but i'm still extremely scared. Also, i don't know how will i make money because i probably won't have free time at all
>>24473372
>highschool
>good at math
>math
Unless you were competing in Olympiads, you haven't even done any math yet. You may well be 'good' at plug n chug though.
>>24473431
What should i start studying then? i'm open for any tips. Teach me how to math senpai
>>24473431
>competed in olympiads
I did but only managed to get the first few questions desu, the last ones were normally 2hard for me
>>24472410
Same here. And when I feel like I'm failing a class or I got a shitty grade on a test I don't look online to actually check if I'm right because I get too stressed out and just want to not think about it. Basically I'm too retarded to function in society.
>>24473372
>February
You'll have to do gen ed classes first anyways.
>Math
If you're good at math you should be fine
You aren't expected to perform advanced calc on day 1, thats why you have to take the classes.
>Money
IF you 100% commit to doing well, you might as well just take loans. The interest rates are low, and if you do well in school (and network while you're there) you'll get a mid-high paying job and be able to pay them off easily.
>>24471822
wtf why are your exams so heavy?
>>24471093
Same. I have an introduction (one oage) due today, and another assignment. A presentation to prepare for tomorrow and then I need to study for an exam through Wednesday.
I also just got a job and start next week, I already don't do work over the weekend's because I'm exhausted from always spending hour on transit reading participating and thinking about how I'm going to get through exams let alone the semester.
Now i won't even have the time to relax. I want to drop out so badly.
>>24472410
same desu family
every fucking day
and when i decide to actually look at some shit or try to do my work i tab out and end up here within 10 minutes
>>24473431
>You may well be 'good' at plug n chug though.
That's all you need for cs
>>24473549
>>24472410
I have the exact same problem anons
The only solution that works for me is to take as many classes as possible with a friend.
>ideally an organized person
Try to work with them on everything, and you'll be reminded of assignments/extra credit and naturally develop a better schedule for homework and studying.
>>24473372
make sure you know your precalc. Things like factoring, finding the roots of polynomials, basic stuff about complex numbers, trig identities, exponential and logarithmic functions, multiplicity of polynomial functions, definitions of things like domain and range, etc.
I started math at calc 1 in university and skipped precalc. These are all topics that came up in calc 1-3 and differential equations that I found I didn't have a enough knowledge in because my precalc education came exclusively from high school.
>>24473646
How did you do in your calc class?
>>24473491
Buy and read this book, doing the exercises.
>>24471093
>exam results in 18 days
>If I fail just one I'm FINISHED
>no plan B
>that impending doom
Is quality helium really that hard to come by?
>tfw graduated uni
>tfw forgot everything you learned
>>24472410
You need to switch your major man. If I don't pass this time around thats what I'm doing. Your motivation for college aligns with what you want to learn. If you can't be assed to do the work you want to learn something else. Don't ever fail 3 times, you stop at the second.
Change your majors everyone, most of you are probably victims of the STEM meme. Remember, college has no age limit, its a place of learning. You can always go back and do STEM on your own time.
