Semesters ending soon. how are you holding up?
still got 5 months, mate
gotta pull my grades up though, currently scraping by on F's
Easy as shit semester besides the long ass paper I had to do. I'm ready for the next one.
>>24692521
Procastinating and playing video games like usual
>finals start next week
Why do so many normalfags use Apple laptops? Is it some kind of psychological peer pressure thing?
i already dropped out
>have 500 word essay due Friday
>can't bring myself to stop browsing 4chan
Kinda fucked but I'll just take the fail I guess, my other module scores will balance it out
>inb4 just do it
>mfw been in community college for 4 years
>>24692846
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.

Stay keked Americans!

Their batteries do last for a pretty good time, but the normies care mostly about the half eaten apple anyway.
>>24692846
That and clever advertising that is aimed specifically at them
>>24692884
>500 word
This takes like fucking 15 minutes, just bullshit it, jesus
>>24692846
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.
>>24692938
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.
>>24692908
nope. mostly white
>>24692965
Thats how my calculus class is but the tests are bullshit because theyre open note.

It's probably futile but I don't wanna flop 2 exams in a row
>>24692846
Battery's supposed to be good.
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
Need to write 3,000-4,000 words by Friday and I've been doing fuck all for the past 9 hours.
Can't get motivated to do this shit fml...

The one before it was up since Monday
You can do it anons: Just go to the library and work. Don't come back until you've done a decent amount of your work. Only one more week until we can shitpost and be useless. We already made it this far, may as well finish
Brehs what are some good tips for padding a paper? I gotta write 10 pages and I'm sure I could get there but are there any cheats my prof won't notice? (Inb4 "just do your homework like supposed to")

Well my mom got me a mac book air for Christmas a few years ago because it was one of the most popular/recognizable choices. I assume this is the same for a lot of kids who's parents buy them shit.
>>24694005
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.
>>24692938
Nah.
Lectures 101:
>Always sit alone.
>Turn off your phone.
>Bring a writing pad and a pen.
>listen
>IMPORTANT: Pay attention
>Motivation at record lows
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.
>>24692521
how are you holding up?

>>24692846
Why would you even bring a laptop to class?
It's just a huge distraction and it's shit if you have to make sketches
>>24695191
Well that just summed up the past few years of my life...
>Math exam at 8 am tomorrow
>English paper due on the 4th
>Anthropology exam next Monday, haven't even looked at the material. And it's not cumulative so I can't coast by on the shit I knew before hand that was covered in earlier chapters
>just been reading bullshit all day
>>24695388
Your fucked
>>24695350
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.
Haven't learned a damn thing all semester

>>24695978
What the fuck is it about then?
If I'm not supposed to get Job training and it's not about learning why the FUCK are my parents wasting their money and why am I wasting my time?
>>24696075
Networking opportunities
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.

>mfw talking to myself also

>tfw major procrastination problem
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
>>24696753
>tfw just waiting for the winter break so I can finally have a proper sleep
We're almost there senpai
>tfw finally finished my final history paper the other night
Feels fucking good. Now all I need to do is focus on my exams, which I'm all fairly confident. Aside from math, that is.
>>24696918
Almost. Can't wait to go back home.
>tfw transferring to a closer campus so I can commute

>>24697171
Do your professors give you study guides?
>>24697226
There are no study guides in my major. Everything must be known down to smallest detail
>>24697106
Good job fellow Historyfag, still got a paper to write up about the effectiveness of government legislation during the Civil Rights movement.
>>24692846
Normies aren't interested in computers so they don't want to do any amount of research into laptops. Macs are widely accepted, fashionable, and made specifically for people that have no idea what they are doing.

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
>>24699961
>I wouldn't necessarily let it sway my desire to become a teacher, though.
The book wasn't an argument in itself, it only kickstarted an uncertainty
>tfw alt+tabbing between writing a paper on feminism, jerking off to femdom porn, and bashing women on /r9k/, while listening to alan parsons project songs about the oedipal complex

>Music Major
>Okay class, here's an impossibly fuckhuge load of work that I should have given you 4 weeks ago, but you have 3 days to memorize it all because this is the largest part of your final exam. Sorry, totes slipped my mind lol. Good luck.
Perfect 4.0 GPA saved again, I can either take my class grade or take a bullshit final.
I don't care what people say all below A+ is an F

I know that feeling, people can risk it all in a final, but many of them are afraid or plain conformists

You only have to do this once in your life.
Once you're done, you've got your whole fucking life ahead of you to look forward too. Might as well bite the bullet and go full badass mode now.

Whats it feel like not being a complete failure senpai
>>24702848
>>24702963
I've just lost all caring. I've been ready to be done since my first semester 4.5 years ago. I don't really care for school at all and just want to work.
>>24702972
This is what I'm trying for. I don't think I'll need or could even get an extension. I'll get something done to turn in, even if it's not all of it. If I can manage to get a C- or higher I think I should be ok
>>24703077
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.
Except, you know, say something that can't be proved. I usually use "my family had a.. crisis.." and seem really sincere, so he knows it's like "my sister got HIV from a heroin needle" and he can't pry.
I have to write 8 fucking pages on a Dizzy Gillespie album for tomorrow and I haven't even started. Can't be fucked to start it either. How do you write EIGHT pages???

totally bombing one class. semi bombing another class and passing my other 2 classes with flying colors. I also had a group presentation that went surprisingly well.
exams are in 2 weeks, 2 cumulative and 2 non cumulative. one more semester to go and then I'm free until I want to take my CPA exam
Piss easy semester so far since I just went into a new program but I have 3 presentations to make this weekend which will be fun
Law student here, the fact that my finals are 100% of my grade makes me more and more suicidal as finals creep up. Just the thought of 3 hours can make or break my entire career is nauseating.
>had a series of several very long SAP assignments for an accounting class worth fairly few points
>didnt do the last two to save time

my midterm grades and graded LRW were all above median/trending upwards but I'm more or less just nervous. I have a photographic memory, so memorizing all 200 cases, and applicable rules and silly splits in JX isnt a problem and I've gotten better at applying the law, i just need more timed practice exams to see if I can get all the potential points within the time limit. And not fuck up on the multiple choice.
I'm also a perfectionist...

Every year there's some student that emails me telling me they need to pass after they blew off the class for the entire semester. Do they really think that begging will get them a passing grade?
Spending all day tomorrow cooped in my house writing 2000 words about the successes and failures of One laptop Per Child. I'm pretty fortunate that I only have three finals this semester.

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.

>>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

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.

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!

>tfw almost failing my biochem class
This fucking class is literally the hardest class I have ever taken. The professor is a fucking cunt who deliberately tries to make us fail, and it's a senior level biochem course only offered once a year.
We essentially need to know everything about DNA and protein biochemistry. We have to know all of the catalytic mechanisms for all of the major DNA processes and all of this other bullshit.
The thing that kills me is that all of the exams are based on asking us to design experiments to prove all of these mechanisms. It's hard enough just knowing all of this material and then on top of that you need to apply all of these modern biochemistry techniques to prove it which is something we barely touch base on in class. We'll talk about the original experiments briefly but you need to come up with your own original experiment or else you will get no credit.
This niggers won NOBEL PRIZES FOR THE ORIGINAL EXPERIMENTS. So how the fuck am I expected to come up with like 5 or 6 ORIGINAL fucking experiments off the top of my fucking head in the middle of an exam?
>>24692521
have a 2 page double spaced paper due tomorrow but i can't even motivate myself to do it. not even memeing
first final tomorrow, then a presentation which one of my group members didn't contribute any work to. tomorrow's going to suck senpai
Help me out guys. I've had 6 hours of sleep for the last 48 hours+.
Trying to keep myself awake because I'm taking one of my finals in a few hours
I feel horrible.
>>24726709
Same anon here.
I'm a biochem and dramatic art double major. I originally thought I wanted to be a doctor coming into college while I figured I'd continue doing theatre as a hobby through my undergrad. Very recently I decided to say fuck being a doctor and now I want to be a lighting designer. But due to the fact I'm almost done with my chem major, I have to see it through and finish it or else I won't be able to live with myself. So I'm suffering through all of this bullshit chemistry for nothing at this point and it's so fucking hard to stay motivated for my chem classes.
I'm just glad I was a hardcore premed gunner and I did a shitton of summer school and made really good grades every semester so next year when I'm a theatre I won't have to take a single chemistry lecture and I can just take all bullshit theatre classes and enjoy myself.

Sorry to hear that. There are a fuck ton of Asians at Altoona. Mainly Chinese and Korean, and some nips. They're all pretty qt.
>>24692521
was thinking of killing myself earlier but then my presentation went ok and the professor pushed the project deadline back a week, maybe until the 14th
went and got me a hamburger to celebrate
>>24692938
na you dont
i didnt use one for like the first 3 years i was there
i only got one because i started comp sci and its useful for doing programs and shit while the professor is speaking. but even then if the class really needs pcs the professor will get a class that has desktops in it
i really use my laptop to do shit in the comfy chairs that my school got last year. shit is so good
>>24693072
>mfw the open note open book tests were harder than the closed book tests
>>24693423
this, i went to school today to see a professor about some shit
did like 2 assignments in like 1/10th of the time while i was waiting for him, compared to if i was dicking around on my pc
next semester im going to go to school to do all my shit, ill probably have more free time and less end of semester stress too

feeling pretty decent overall. just finished two presentations I had to do so now even though I have a ton more difficult shit to do it's much less stressful because fuck presentations
>>24727620
Unless you get all A's for the rest of college probably not. 3.3 at least for grad school mate

I've got a 900 word essay due tomorrow before midnight
what topic should I go with? alternatives to bombing syria to fight isis or virtual spaces as public spaces for democratic participation
>>24723958
Ask?
Fucking comment not original

you are so immensely fucking stupid to fall for that bait that I seriously think you are either mentally retarded and shouldn't be at any university or you're just baiting yourself.
>>24726709
>>24726822
Sounds pretty shitty dude. I'm a Biotech Sophomore and hearing horror stories about biochem scares me desu. I want to hurry up and get there but I really don't. Is it as bad as everyone says?
>>24728776
Write about why technology will eventually become sentient and destroy us all. Then just recant the plot of 2001: A space odyssey and terminator.
>>24728776
Write about alternatives to fighting ISIS and include a part about airdropping them leaflets listing all the cool things about living in the West and all the shitty things about living in the desert
They'll surely have defectors. Allah isn't going to whip them up fleshlights until after they die
Although I know it's not really a lot, I have to write a 700 word essay for tomorrow morning before I go to sleep (it's 2 AM right now) and I really don't want to...
Semester has gone well, most my courses were pretty interesting. Got back my midterms with good results earlier on, so I'm not too worried about finals. Anyway, all my finals are essays, which is easy as fuck compared to just straight up fact remembering, especially given all my courses are history related. Truly comfy.

>not doing all your courses online
How do you afford things? Like living?gfs are super expensive m8
>>24730265
It's not really about motivation as much as it is necessity in my view. The work needs to be done, so do it or else there will be consequences that you might not want to deal with. It's really a matter of educational survival.
>>24730304
This. No matter how unmotivated or how much I'd rather be doing anything else I always manage to get my work done, because it NEEDS to be done. I'm not fighting for food or shelter so I replace those things with grades. If I don't make the grades I'm basically dead, or I'll want to be dead

I'm so stressed out that I keep asking people to kill me

This Tbh. Except my paper was my senior thesis and now I'm off to the land of unemployment and NEETdom bitchesjust kidding. going to kill myself since nobody will hire me and I don't want to be homeless
>>24732428
dude I was NEET for 2 years after undergrad. do it. i wish i could go back
does anyone else here have literally zero people to talk to?
i miss having my family around, but they live far off now. i'm pretty sure my brain is getting all kinds of fucked up right now since the only times i actually talk to people are the 30 seconds after class with the professor
>management term paper worth 30%

Why am I even bothering to this fucking paper. I just want to sleep.

pretty much. I've started talking to myself. I can be pretty funny sometimes
>>24732447
How can you be neet? Mcdonalds and shit is always hiring.

why would I ever want to work at mcdonalds? besides, if it ever got discovered i'd be unemployable for any real job, not to mention a laughing stock instead of a nobody

What do you guys do? He royally deserves it, but fucking him over won't really help my grade.
>want to type notes

Jesus christ, what the fuck should I do, it's almost as if everyone can take perfect and fast notes.
>>24732697
Because you need money?
>>24732725
If he has
>HUGE social power (eg. spreads rumours etc)
You should consider it. But if I were you, I would ask him to participate a few more times amd if he refuses to budge, go for it. But don't sound overly aggressive.
>>24732725
Tell the professor
I had the same thing for my chem lab my second year at uni showed proof I did all the work.
I got an A- partner failed the lab portion and also failed the class as passed the lab part is mandatory.
Of course I felt bad, but then I remember the nights I had to lose sleep over the fact my lab partner was useless.
If I was going to suffer he was going to suffer too was my reasoning.
>>24732725
FUCK HIM FUCK HIM FUCK HIM
>>24732725
How is this even question? Fuck him.
>He doesn't care if he fails the course
Let him walk the walk now that he talk the talk.

fuck him up, you did all the work,this is a free world no other man has got to take your fucking work's credit

I'd tell you to just fuck my shit up, but I've already done that myself. Fairly certain I'm going to have to resit one of the ones next week, maybe both. The third one should be salvageable though
>>24692938
Pen and paper >>> laptop
Like 0.1%of people using laptops in lectures actually pay attention. Also using them can distract others around you.
I did my whole degree without one.
Finished my degree lads.
Got the option to do an honours year but is it worth it?
Either that or wageslave it up a bit longer and "volunteer" my time with companies in exchange for experience on the side until someone hires me.
>>24736223
What's your major? You probably won't need to do the honours year if you can get a job.
>>24728166

>>24692521
4 essays due Wednesday. 0% of them done.
I'm pretty sure I could straight bullshit a bunch of nonsense and still get Cs on them. That's probably what I'll end up doing. I just stopped giving a fuck. Two more terms and I get that shitty piece of paper.
Then I can go get wagekeked for the rest of my life.
