Easy as shit semester besides the long ass paper I had to do. I'm ready for the next one.

Where are you going to school where this is a thing? Maybe this is a private uni thing, but almost all public ones the majority is PC.
Unless you go to a university that offers you a laptop included in your tuition. This is why I have a Mac Air.
>>24692892
Is it full of niggers?
>>24692846
It's a lot simpler to get a macbook than to search a laptop with specs for what you need. Particularly when you dont do anything important with a computer.

do i have to get a laptop if i go to uni? i don't want people to make fun of me. i'm in cc right now and only like a quarter of the people in each class as one
>>24692892
Me too fail over 6 classes
>>24692521
Gotta study for two tests this week and write a paper. It's coming along, I'm glad I'm not that far behind
>>24692846
Looks like they were provided them by the school. Most people in my classes use PCs
>>24692938
Nobody will give a shit. The people with laptops just end up browsing facebook in class and ignoring the lecture so you'd probably look like a better student if you just had a notebook
>>24692938
If you're in cc you're probably not learning anything that needs more than some sticks and dirt to draw in.
>final grade can replace class grade
>have 5% in class
>get kicked out of college if I make lower than a B
Currently playing video games and eating burgers now.

Not really, it just helps with subjects that require a lot of note-taking (e.g. History). Although some people just come into lectures with a recorder, and then type/write it all up when they get back to their dorms.
>withdrew back in early November, sick and tired of wasting my time and money
>money is running out
>lease still has 8 months on it
>have a job lined up
>trying to fnid someone to take over my lease before January starts
Keeping my fingers crossed. I can't fucking pay $575 for January's rent. I'm going to be fucked if I can't figure something out until then.
I'm glad that I decided to leave school though. 4 years with nothing to show for it other than no friends, crippling depression, and debt.
I'm just glad because it feels like I can finally move forward without being hung up on school.

Personally I find it dumb to carry a laptop around, so I just dump all my textbooks on my iPad mini and just have a windows desktop in my apartment

Your paragraphs will usually have a central idea to each of them. When you're done with the first draft and need more space, just look at which one is shortest and add more bullshit opinions or another source to support whatever you were talking about. You sometimes get double the lines out of it if you can reiterate what you wrote in the conclusion.

Been crushing my classes. I really wanted to get at least a 3.8 but now id rather just smoke, vidya, and settle with 3.4. Make it up later in classes that are actually interesting
>>24692521
I am going to die if I fail this semester so I sure hope I pass.
I probably won't actually be able to kill myself if i fail but I'm at least going to cut off at least one of my fingers.

Yeah, same here. Maybe because I'm a fat ass but I'm afraid I'll accidentally drop it. If I didn't have access to a PC, I would pretty much kill myself.
You either
>drop and fuck it up
>get it stolen
>dick around on the net(why even show up)
If the class involves computers that much it will most likely have desktops there anyway.
Also 90% of "bring your laptop" stuff is shit you can do on a smart phone.
>>24695388
You can do it fampai. Take my energy \o/
>>24695480
I've been making A-'s on all the tests so far.
The English paper is an open letter and not particularly long.
Next week is going to be hell though. Anthropology, Spanish, and Psychology and I'm woefully unprepared to deal with all of those.
My roommate just left, so I guess I'll study. For some reason I can't get work done if there are other people present. I don't even talk to them or anything. It's weird.
I just don't fucking care anymore.

Tomorrow I have a test worth 3% and a programming practical, on which I wasn't ready at all but I got the code from someone, just have to learn it.
Not to worried but next week which is the final one I have a 10% exam on programming so I have to do my best to prepare for that
>>24696164
What languages did your work with in class? One person i spoke to said they used c# and another said visual basic si I have no clue what they are talking about. I'm fairly certain I won't be working with visual basic though
>>24696262
I'm more of a French person, but each to their own.
For my school there isn't really finals, just big fucking presentations and group projects.
>>24696274
Are you having a giggle?
>>24696262
I worked in C for this term, its like a base language because many other languages derive from it, started from the beginning, now I am at structs and files. Next term we go into C++ so I will use this winter break to go through two books on C++ that I have since highschool but wasn't interested at that time and whatever I can on the internet.
I know that C# and visual basic are just another languages but no idea how they work
From what I've heard when you learn a language pretty good, its much easier to learn the others because you only have to know the name difference between some stuff that do the exact same thing
Are you gonna start studying CS ?
>>24696398
I already am but I'm finishing my general studies. They forced me into an intro to programming course before I could take the actual programming course which was strictly HTML so I spent that time learning python and C. No one will tell me what I'll actually use in the class though to study over winter break
>>24696450
You should ask one of the lecturers or whenever you can so you can use the 1 month of winter break to git good, thats my plan at least
Saw that a lot of people like python but idk why, haven't tried it yet
How is HTML ? I was planning to learn it also over the winter break
>>24692521
>tfw 60% sure I'm going to fail my math class
It just doesn't stick. It makes sense in class, but when I come back it's all gone. I'm seriously getting depressed over this shit.The worst part is that it's not even any fancy course. It's a standard algebra course
>>24696398
C# is p much Java with a C syntax.

Every single paper I've written this semester has been started the night before it was do. I can't even say night, though, because it's more like one in the morning. I've gotten pretty decent grades so far, but I know I can't keep doing this. My sleep schedule is fucked all to hell

It's my first semester here and I already hate college. Can't make any friends (though I try), my dorm floor is full of chads, grades might be shit (don't know though, these damn durka durka teachers don't post grades until the last day of the semester) my roommate is an anti-social fuck who I think is border-line suicidal. Though, I did meet a really nice girl and we've grown super close so I guess college is going alright.
>>24699561
So what do you do now, anon? Any tips for someone looking to leave?
>>24699641
Fantastic book, I loved it. I wouldn't necessarily let it sway my desire to become a teacher, though. Granted it might be more competitive now, but still.
>>24699652
As far as I know, yeah. Just nothing toward anything specific because I'm paralyzed with fear at the prospect of having to choose something to do for the next 30-40 years

At least hand it in with an excuse that makes you look better. Say your cat got deathly sick today and you had to somehow fit the visit to the vet and finding the money for it into your finalizing the project.

Law student.
Three more exams and one paper due.
Exam tomorrow, but it's semi-open note and multiple choice, so fuck it.
Exam on monday, half multiple choice, half essay, but again, semi-open note so fuck it too.
Exam next friday, closed book, all essays, three hours of hell.
Paper due that same friday. Topic is on an obscure field of law. Not a single professor at this school specializes in this field, so I had to teach myself. Still need to finish 15 more pages where I have to argue that the Supreme Court is wrong on several levels, and back said argument with sound theory and facts.
Sent part of my paper to my professor for feedback, got an email saying "it's good"
Still have not heard back from any of the places I sent job applications to.
gonna finish my first semester in 2 weeks and i gotta say anons it's been a wild ride. hosuing situation hasn't been to great since my roomate is a drug dealer and the rest of my floor is coked up. on the school front im putting off studying for my exams which start next week and one final project. that's play thought since i should be able to finish this semester with a ~86% average. this is the best social life i've had in 18 years. 100% recommend college to all robots. if you can get good roommates you'll be golden.

>>24705332
In order to be able to practice, yes. Some jobs don't require you to take the bar right out of school, though. Government jobs usually give new grads a one-year grace period to pass the bar.
Have been working on the paperwork to apply to take the test for months now, thanks to bureaucratic bullshit, I'll be lucky if I'll get to take the bar next year.
>>24705338
First year is designed to burn out the weak.
Study hard, and remember that professors don't care about you giving the "right" answer, but whether your answer is well reasoned.
>>24704397
Freshmen courses in classes like that are often some of the toughest at any university. They like to give you an overwhelming load right off the bat in order to weed people out.

I'm on track for a 3.6 or higher and I'm taking all high level history classes and analytical algebra courses next semester. Things are going decent desu. Depression is gone. Life is looking up.
I have a quiz worth 1% of the total score in 11 hours that cover 2 chapter and 2 different class of drugs. Should I stay up all night and study? This is the last quiz

Maybe you'll induce psychosis and try to throw yourself into traffic if you're lucky
That's a good way to get yourself put into a mental hospital though. Just throw yourself off a building like all the other poor people do. If you can't stomach that then you're probably not ready to die just yet
holla atcha boi representing Truman State University. 3 pages due today and it's 3:30 a.m. local time. I've got like 1 sentence. If there are any robots at my uni, I'm down to meetup, there are so many bland people that one of you autists would be a godsend.
>>24704579
TA here, yeah kids who dont do shit are pretty funny.
i have a student this semester who is flunking the class and now keeps asking about the last few homework and extra credit assignment grades even though he completely bullshited them. like stream of consciousness bad so he got 0s, which doesnt even matter cus he didnt do anything else the rest of the semester.
had another kid last year try and beg me and the professor through about twenty emails to keep bumping up his grade to try and get it to the next grade up, i think from a D to a C. the professor gave him microbumps alla round that didnt actually change his grade at all, just cause he wouldnt stop pestering. he even tried getting me to go behind the professor and bump his grades too. smarmy piece of shit was a rude, entitled little shit in class too.
then i remember ive gotten two extensions to keep working on my thesis from my professors, one of them yesterday, so theyre way more compassionate than i am.
tfw I got an 100 in my human anatomy lab and the rest of the class is butt hurt because the professor said he won't curve the grades because it'd be unfair to the person who put a a real effort.
Seeing their despair faces was fucking priceless. They thought getting a 60 would be enough to pass.
>>24708868
ok professorr
>>24708896
Give me a break fellow robot, Its almost 4am. It's great not having to worry about finals, though. I hope you make it and enjoy a nice winter break.
I've found the best motivator to study is every subsection of a chapter in my textbook, I get to self harm a little bit. At least it works. I'm focusing well for the first time.
>tfw going to get fucked out of straight A's this semester due to having a retarded group for a stupid project.
Shit's due Monday, and nobody else has done anything. Fucking online classes.

it's always the one asshole in a group project that ruins your streak. we've all been there.
>>24710235
I'm going to just ask the instructor if I can do it myself. The project is literally 30 minutes of work per person (6 people total), and it appears that nobody is going to do it. One lady hasn't responded or anything for a month.
presentation tommorow
50% of grade
engineering lab, so everyone going 2 be shorts and tees
I actually look really good in a suit
so do presentation and look like attention whoring autist in suit or go shorts n tees?

Responding cos I was in that same position. You just need to find someway to motivate yourself. Do it and get out so you never have to go back. If you don't, you might end up being much worse off.
About work, it depends what your ambitions are. I dont want to settle for a shitty job, but might have to at this point, then acquire further qualification, since ive been a useless NEET trying to get onto graduate schemes. I might think uni was useless but these employers damn well dont!
>thought I was going to fail 2 courses
>get a credit in one and a hard pass in the other

I do, but I'm not satisfied with it
>>24692521
Well, I've skipped a class for the last 2 weeks and it's a dual credit. I've been skipping all of my other classes every once in a while for the same amount of time. Probably going to fail at least one, and do poorly on the others. Depression creeping up. Trying to find a way to tell my parents I'm not cut out for any of this so I can be NEET.

I can't take it any more.
I can't focus on the lecture, I can only think about shooting a load on the face of the girl in front of me.

CIS major, go fuck yourself. Writing 20+ page papers is a skill you need to develop sooner rather than later. My classes often involve writing strategic assessments that are 6 pages minimum with 2+ citations per paragrah on a weekly basis.
