Well, at least it's just the first semester. Not much lost here.
I like math and physics, but pure physics major is too much theoretical. I guess I should have gone into engineering. I'm thinking of switching my major. I'm sure I can carry my passed physics exam over to engineering major if I switch.

>studying a humanities degree
>no friends
I have no exciting prospects post graduation
just try to have conversations with people in a relaxed way. stop resenting people who appear to be happier than you. once you talk to them they will stop seeming like horrible aliens, i promise. university is probably one of the best opportunities to be happy and at ease and free that you'll ever have
Only real thing to complain about are.
1. Being forced to find partners to do group assignments with.
2. Having to visit real companies/institutions whatever. Cause the professors want to know real stuff for their "research."

>>27495342
What sorts of statistics? Is it simple X^2, or some hardcore stuff?
Anyone use modafinil/adderall?
Would you reccommend?
>>27495451
It's a bit more than x^2, but not that hardcore. Standard deviation, correlation, regression are some terms I recall. As I said, didn't put much work into it.
>>27493222
>A girl is nice to me

Most poeple fail tests because they can't be bothered, not because they need help
>>27495520
You could learn all that in one day. All you need is to memorize some formulas. I kid you not.
It is probably simple stuff, no logarithms and shit? Global tests? Hypotesis and student t-test shit? If that is as hard as it gets I stand by my statement that you could just memorize 4-5 formulas and pass.

>>27491982
had the exact same problem, eventually dropped out of college because of it
then found training for a job that was paying little and was low entry.
In those training classes didn't have the problem of falling asleep and brainfog.
Pass the training and work now at this low paying job.
to this day I don't know what was causing this. I didn't even drink coffee, only water. Had enough sleep always.

>>27491866
All the shit you go through that the Chad's and Stacy's don't builds character. As you get older you'll value the character you built and regret taking the easy ways a lot more than you'll value having spent daddy's money, coasting through life not becoming a more mature, hardened, and wise individual. Where the Chad's and Stacy's fail and give up, you'll succeed because you haven't been coddled your whole life.
>>27496733
you should have told him that they're fucking with him, and that its good riddance you decided to not hang out with any of them and concentrate on your study
a possible reason for a cruel story like that to develop is when people fear you either because they don't know shit about you and your not doing anything to give them a good impression, or because your pretty good at (uni) and somebody needs to shit on you so he can secure his position among the other normies.

>>27496872
How would they even know how my studies go? They know nothing about me.
>>27496733
Eh, fuck them man they're just still children. The real sexual predators are the ones shoving drinks down girls throats at frats.
Have you tried to socialize at the dorm, just leaving the door open or studying in the lounge and greeting people from your hall? It can be easier than you think, most people are open to make friends at dorms.
>>27496963
No. I tried in the first week to go to social events like my parents said, but I was uncomfortable doing anything at them, and never actually managed to talk to anyone that I wasn't uncomfortable around. I'm two semesters in now, so I think it is probably too late to turn my situation around now.
I SEE THIS THREAD ALL THE FUCKING TIME

>can't study because of this
>can't browse 4chan because door is wide open
>just sit there seething with rage
>roommate goes to his desk and does whatever because apparently he isn't bothered by the noise
What is even the fucking point of keeping the fucking door open if you're not going to socialize? My roommate socializes with the floor almost as little as I do, yet it's like he feels inclined to keep it open if there are others chatting in the hallway, or if other doors are open. Just fucking why???

I'm changing my major to something that will make me MUCH MUCH happier. I don't give a fuck about the other students. I go in, do my shit, and get out. Just try to get the most out of school for yourself, mayne.
>>27497139
W00t w00t! At last that pain is over.
>>27497091
because it's comfy and it's an invitation for others to stop by and chat
>>27497028
I get you, I always hated the dorm social events they had.
But talking casually in a relaxed setting is easier (in my opinion) than the awkwardness created by forced socializing.
Two semesters is definitely not too late. Sure, people may be less apt to socialize now that they have cliques (depending on how big your school is) but you can still make friends.
Try joining a club. Or smoke cigarettes, it's an easy way to meet people in dorms honestly.
>>27497365
>But talking casually in a relaxed setting is easier (in my opinion) than the awkwardness created by forced socializing
People say this, but, in my experience, it isn't true. The only conversations I have had here are with people I am put into groups with, and while they are awkward, at least I am expected to speak. I can't just approach a girl I like and start talking to her, that would just reinforce the suspicion everyone here has when I inevitably fail miserably (it should be noted that I have non-meme mental illness).
I am in a club, the history club, but haven't met anyone I socialize with casually, and I don't want to smoke.

>tfw seems like everyone flirts with girls and parties in college
>only i sit alone with no friends
i can't bear this pain any longer
>>27497438
I would recommend just talking to people and try to make friends before you try to talk to girls in a romantic sense. In my experiences, meeting girls through mutual friends is the best way to find a relationship.
If you have a mental illness, maybe try seeing a therapist (if you aren't already) and get their advice on how to make friends, they'd probably know better than you or I.
Maybe talk to people in your classes more, you can always just bitch about the class or talk about the subject matter if you find it interesting. Plus its good to talk about your major to people because then you can learn more while socializing.
>>27497899
I said it is a non-meme mental illness. Therapy doesn't do shit.
>>27491866
Universities and 'higher education' is nothing but a separation mechanism for rich people to inherit their social status to their children and segregate others away from it. Haven't you realised this yet?
It literally invented to keep people like you and me away and lock us in the low wage sector. Yet you feel bad for some reason when they openly show it to you? You either box through all the bullshit and toughen up, or let them win. Your choice.
But don't think you will actually learn anything there or make friends. This is not your world. Keep that in mind.
>>27497091
Fucking tell him to shut the door then you whiny little piss of shit
>>27498040
While this is true to an extent, I think it applies more to the social aspects of school and to meme degrees like business.
There are plenty of Asians here who aren't particularly smart, don't come from rich families, are depressed as fuck and hate their lives and just watch cartoons all day, but they're going to be somewhat successful some day because they tough it out through shitty degrees and work hard. It's not a place to learn, but that piece of paper you get at the end can be worth a lot if you use it right

>>27499160
There are a lot of 25+ people in universities anon, more than you imagine. But you probably don't speak to them so you don't know.
Anyhow, remember the reason you came there and focus your mind to it. They honestly don't matter
I really want to drop out. I take little interest in this engineering stuff. The debt is killing me. I want to not worry about tests and projects anymore and just read literature and philosophy and tend to my hobbies.
But at the same time doing so would disappoint my mom, I would not know what else to do and the worst is I would have no other way to make friends and I'll sure as hell never get a gf. However the stress is so much I'm about to say fuck it.
>>27499305

>>27500149
if you haven't already, get on jstor or ebscohost and read a couple of legitimate academic papers on the book just to get an idea on what people have been talking about and what you should focus on
use those to get a rough idea of your topic, then start with your strongest point and write a body paragraph or two before even thinking about a thesis
obviously quote the book liberally, but it's also helpful to use your secondary sources because you sound smart and you can add more arguments for or against those specific positions
once you have a couple body paragraphs, try to formulate a finalized thesis, then go back and revise your paragraphs to make sure they all adhere to your argument
then just keep writing as you now have your thesis and a couple of supporting arguments you can build on

trust me i just got through the exact same thing with Timon of Athens, Shakespeare's literal worst play. just ignore the anxiety, start talking about what you feel comfortable about, and your mind will start organizing your thoughts on its own as you write. by the time you finish a couple of legitimate body paragraphs, you'll have the momentum you need to get through the rest
you'll be okay man, just don't let the feels get to you.

I understand how you feel becuase I went through the same shit with my "friends" in hs. In many ways it's almost better to have no friends than to be a tag along friend. Fortunately now I actually have a friend now who wants to hang out with me and will initiate it even though he's a total normie and gets pretty annoying sometimes.

You stupid fucking idiots, all of you.
You think you have "uni feels"? Fuck you.
You have NO idea what the real "uni feel" is, graduating in a few months, being thrust into the real world with what is more or less a meme degree (you know it's true), with parents that are not only disappointed in you but not going to let you live with them - and not only this, but you have no car, not even a license, just a fucking learner's permit.
NO prospects, you don't even know where the fuck you're going to live when the lease on your place expires at the end of the semester.
FUCK you
You think college/university is hard? Do you REALLY think that if you sat down for a solid two hours each day for each subject, you would master the subject material within a single month? And if this is impossible for you, FUCK you you have NO worth to ANY company, ANY internship, ANY BREATHING HUMAN FUCKING BEING

You've missed the point.
STEM degrees are oversaturated, liberal arts degrees are worthless, and you are DELUDING yourself if you think that you are the exception to this rule. People who don't understand this, people who are this painfully ignorant, those are the people I pity the most. They will learn the hard way.

2 years ago I started my first year of Uni. 5 weeks in I was already starting to skip a class. by the end of the semster, I only went to stuff I had to. I only passed 1/4 course.
Second semester I thought fuck it, I have to do this. It only lasted 2 weeks before I gave up and lived off student welfare and my weekend job, and played WoW during the week.
Failed my second semster, got a polite email saying i can only do 4 courses the next year and if I fail any of them I'll get stood down. told my mum and she said quit my job and move back home, where I was on the dole (jobseeker benefit)
Best year of my life desu, i loved playing vidya without a care in the world, only knowing I had to get up at 8am on the weekends for work

Same. I was duped into taking a liberal arts degree (I actually come from a physics/ maths background but my fucking selfish English teacher convinced me to "not follow the crowd" and do English lit as a degree- being young and impressionable, I believed her).
Needless to say, nobody in my family has come close to university, hence I was totally oblivious to the economy, where the money is etc. Realising now that I actually should have followed the crowd and graduated in stem to get a decent job so I can pay the fucking rent because my mom can't anymore.
Also at this point I really didn't give a shit about education- I sort of fell into university off my academic talents rather than hard work. Now I'm stuck with a useless degree, no friends b/c depression, no money, job prospects are shit, parents relying on me for money but I can't provide, mom has mental illnesses, dad is fucking useless, little bro kicked out of college and is a NEET, I'm in 25k+ debt and wasted 3 years of my life learning nothing useful.
Most of the above is down to my selfish English teacher, who didn't think for a second that maybe given my financial circumstances it would have been wiser to opt in for a more lucrative degree. But no, it was always her own pride that mattered, even at the expense of a poverty stricken kid wasting his prime years in pursuit of absolute shit.
Fuck me, this makes me mad just thinking about it. Some teachers are just fucking scum like that.

STEM is difficult
>>27505404
you get an unrelated job and advertise the fact that you have a college degree.
Stem jobs are great for working in your field like engineering or something.
Liberal education is more general and is applied to everything that isn't technically specific.
American college seems so depressing and shit I just live at home with my parents University in Australia is so much better oh did I mention we don't have to pay for it either till we have a job earning 54,000 a year or more.
>>27500653
I stopped caring about school and by extension math around the same time I realized I was a robot. That was in like 5th grade.
Don't pay attention to math for 8 years of school and try to suddenly give a shit about it in college and you too can feel what it's like to be developmentally disabled.
Most of math is memorization based on repetition and I don't have the motivation or the discipline to memorize that shit unless I'm coerced into it.
So I'll watch Khan academy and get it to pass generals, but then I'll forget it within days and start all over again.
That is why I didn't go into engineering despite building shit being my favorite thing in the world.

It's not even too much to ask, it's all activies tied to home.

For me personally it is the right job. I think it's going to be hard with a lot of students but what will be worth it is telling the nerds the nobodies that they can make it. I'll really look out for the ones who were just like me in high school awkward, nerdy and shun by the other students I can't wait to get into the job and bond with students.
>>27506287
Fair enough, I can understand that, but what gets me is dealing with retarded kids who don't want to learn and will make it their mission to make your life a living hell.

It's definitely going to be hard I guess it is half what university teaches you and half trial and error on your own I mean as a starting teacher it's definitely going to be difficult but as you progress through your career I'm sure it becomes easier to deal with or you just stop giving a fuck. I just like the perks of teaching etc Holidays and the pay keeps rising till you retire. They're desperate for people to teach out at WA and SA as well and will pay you good money but I'm looking forward to teaching in the suburbs not having to compute to the city every day.
>>27506436
commute*
>>27506436
Are teachers really in high demand? Or is that only in WA and SA?
>>27506479
It depends what type of teaching you want to do I think Maths and Science teachers will always be in more demand then say P.E. and English Teachers. That is not to say you can't get a job everyone I know has jumped right into a job out of their teaching degree and I'm from Queensland I think a lot of people are doing teaching degrees now though so there will be less demand in the future but I don't think you'll have trouble ever getting a job in teaching and they really want more Male teachers.

this thing is the bane of my existence. I have tried so much to get rid of it and it worked pretty well but sometimes I still get it out of nowhere, and it's basically a ticket to a guaranteed fuck up of a test.
Somethings I did to help alleviate it:
>sleep for atleast 8.5 hours at proper times (e.g. not from 3 to 11)
>stay away from energy drink and coffee, they make everything worse the day after
>start eating breakfast and eat more nutritous stuff
>do light exercise, atleast go out for a short walk regularly

as for the last point, noopept is really cheap and there's basically no downsides to taking it. its effects are subtle but it helps greatly in the long run.

Yes. This is your one and only most important chance to leave behind everything. Leave behind the internet.

You'll make it if you don't relapse

You are missing the most important part of asian culture. It's the #1 most important export from Japan to the US.
Incremental improvements. Look at your life. You're doing the same activities each day, but you don't have to do the same thing each day. Pick one thing a day and try to improve it. It could be something you do better or it could be something you've never done before. Look for anything in your routine that you can improve. And do it. Don't make excuses. There is always something you can improve.
That is how you make it through repetition

Any hair is good as long as you actually take care of it. Gross long hair won't work. Make sure you don't dress weird. Be plain because plain works until you learn what good looks like.

if you aren't socially retarded you could have made lots of influential friends
4 years at college, started at the age of 23. Dropped out last last summer.
First two years were amazing because i found a really amazing group of misfits, including females. Had my 1st gf, lost virginity, she dumps me.
Afterwards some of them graduated, because they were seniors than me. 3rd year was okayish but didn't reached the same levels of epicness the previous two had.
4th year i was just living alone, some of my friends just had a few classes to graduate, so there was no need to be living near to college. Don't care about attending classes anymore and spent most of time alone in my home. Can't hang out with anyone, because they're all retarded normies with the same high school mentality. I guess that mentality never fades away and stays with most people forever.
Ligitamally tried to hang out with them and went to a party once. It was so boring and so lame, that i never talked to any of them and just returned to ignoring them.
After 4 years i really have to say that i haven't learned much in college. Most teachers weren't interesting and didn't really teach anything remarkable. I was in film school btw.
Waste of money and waste of time attending classes. The best thing were really those two years in which i finally knew what was having a social life, with genuinely great people which were all weird and outcasts themselves. It was awesome how we managed to get so many of us at the same place, at the same time. Best days of my life so far.

Deload to a level you can handle, and slowly build up. Saturation leads to exhaustion which will lead you back to NEET life.
Also, break down your duties into lists and make plans to do them, and actually DO THEM. Habitica could help you.
Last but not least, remember that it isn't always as much as it seems. Just start and it is quite possible you'll realize how simple it was and laugh at it afterwards. If it's too difficult, move to a easier task.
>>27491866
Talk to your teacher in private and tell him you have to work and such. It would be nicei f you could someohow get in contact with one of your classmates to share his notes with you in classes you miss.
>>27510714
>Deload to a level you can handle
I can't really deload much than I already am at the moment, I don't have any commitments outside of college and work.
>make lists, habitica could help
I'll check it out
>Last but not least, remember that it isn't always as much as it seems. Just start and it is quite possible you'll realize how simple it was and laugh at it afterwards
This rings true for me time and time again yet I still procrastinate. I honestly have no idea why I do it. Thanks for your advice anon.
>>27501273
>history cause IT is fucking boring
If you switched to history because it's "easy" and "exciting" you're in for a rude awakening.
If you are getting good grades in a subject stick to it.
>>27509687
hey at least you're not me and 4 years into a meme history degree :^)
I remember when I was younger I was always thinking about how I was going to be some billionaire doctor entrepreneur hotshot, now I'll honestly be happy to graduate and end up on 40k/year
wish my parents had spent less time calling me a special snowflake and more time extolling the virtues of hard work
>two really cute girls are into me
>can't find the courage to talk to them
I could be balls deep in some 19 year old pussy but I'm so mentally fucked up that I don't have the confidence to just talk to them. I know that's all it would take but alas my brain is full of anxiety which makes me uncomfortable.

>>27510321
Withdraw from classes you realize are too much for you or one semester off after you register for next semester.
What you major in should not be "too much" for you, what you major in should be what you can realistically handle. If you don't like writing long essays or reading lots of material you probably wouldn't major in English or History.
Take b vitamins for energy, eat at least three meals a day and sleep early.
>>27511489
Thank you. I'm actually in college however for the first two years of my degree, so I don't have extra classes in the humanities and the like, it's all just core learning that is absolutely necessary for passing the course. I feel like I should be able to manage so much more, and there's really no good reason why I shouldn't. I understand everything, but I fail to study and often even don't turn up for exams. I have no idea why I keep doing this to myself.
>>27509521
Which city anon?
>>27511519
>but I fail to study and often even don't turn up for exams.
You're not motivated or interested enough. If you want to declare a major, you have take the core classes. Remember you are an adult, this is YOUR academic plan, even if you were to go to academic consulting YOU make the decision at the end of the day. Go through the curriculum and college policies, and plan.
In fact, go beyond that and declare one now, take classes now that will enable you to graduate earlier.

>>27510972
when did i say it would be easy? i had been debating between doing IT or history for like 2 years before i transferred to a 4 year school, i just realized i didn't like IT at all once i started actually taking real classes in it
i should have done history in the first place because i actually like it a lot
fuck off
>>27512179
>>i should have done history in the first place because i actually like it a lot
Then why didn't you take it beforehand? Switching majors back and forth just wastes time and money.
You say you like it, but can you actually contribute work and effort? It not enough if you just "like" a subject, history is something you can learn about in the library or the internet. Do you want to make history journals, work with museums in exhibits and grant writing, teach history?
>>27504206
in some universities, it is
for mine, attendance was 15% for the majority of classes, especially for labs.
Should I even be going to college? My math skills are mediocre, and my interpersonal skills are garbage, I'm 5'9 and am not a leader. Is there any degree that's worth getting for a autist like me?
>>27512302
i took 4 history classes at my community college before i transferred and they all have been able to transfer over as credit and i'm taking another course right now
i pussied out on it because IT has more jobs and money so i figured i should go with the more practical thing despite not liking it all that much
i'm either going to teach at the secondary level or finagle my way into something outside of the field like technical writing
the problem with a lot of humanities majors is they don't know the jobs to apply for nor do they know how to sell themselves by talking, for example in an interview, about the skills they developed with the degree
a lot of the time they also didn't bother to pick up other skills like learning a language or two or having experiences outside of the classroom (studying abroad, interning). these are all things i plan on doing
most of this is moot though because like i said i'm probably just going to move to california to meme it up with my medical marijuana dispensary buddy

It varies between classes. Ironically, I found classes that require the least in-class effort (e.g: music and languages in my experience so far) have the worst attendance policies. My intro music theory class would make you drop the class if you missed more than 4 lectures, excused or otherwise. A piano class i had took a letter grade off for every 2 absences.
On the other end of it, I've never had any sort of compulsory attendance policy for math and science courses. The closest thing to it, was that one teacher said he took attendance into account when rounding end class grades. Like, if someone ended the semester with a 79% and barely missed class, he'd be much more likely to give them an 80%, vs. someone who missed several lectures
Pretty shit desu, and easily my least favorite part of uni, but my state was getting pissed off at kids using FAFSA & state aid, only to fail multiple courses due to apathy and not having to pay for class
>>27495871
What a lot of these stem cucks don't realize is that if you pick a good major in business like finance/IS you will end up being the bosses of the engineers/ cuckold science majors. Companies want people with social skills that are leaders and can understand business terms not neckbearded physicists or engineers in management.

If your liberal arts degree is heavily writing based, learning a second language like Spanish to a decently fluent level would be extremely helpful for certain jobs and something that would definitely set you apart from a lot of people who may only know a limited amount of Spanish words or phrases. Being able to read and write Spanish at a higher level than most will be very useful in the future because of the obvious shifting demographic in the US.
Studying abroad can also look good on a resume and be used to share some sort of experience in an interview setting. It can be expensive of course, but if you do it in a country where the currency exchange works in your favor, go for it.
Then of course, internships. These aren't always as clear because with business or STEM most students know what type of internship to look for, like working at whatever local business, company, firm, or research lab is in the area. To get a better idea of what you should be looking for, ask people in your department. Department chairs, professors, or advisers are always willing to meet and talk about whatever you want. Just send them an e-mail and ask to meet in person and discuss what type of internships you should look for or if possibly they know any you could apply for right now.
Like I said before, the problem with a lot of liberal arts degree holders is that they didn't think about doing these things while in school. (It's stereotypical, but most stereotypes are rooted in some truth.) They just wanted to study whatever they wanted to study cause it sounded interesting or easier than other majors, but didn't think about how to apply their degree into getting a real job. They graduate and wonder where they went wrong. Liberal arts graduates can get jobs just like anyone else, it just takes more initiative and asking questions to look for answers.
>>27503647
Kek that guy is clearly not a STEM major
>>27519430
Oh and I forgot, whenever there is a job fair at your school, go to it. Just go. Write up a resume and hand it out to whoever the fuck you talk to. Even if you think there's a pretty low chance that your degree would be at all relevant to what they do, just give it to them and shoot the shit a little bit. Ask them questions, they'll ask you questions. You never know what these people are looking for and you might just be it.

You should have left the room immediately upon that happening, at the very least. Anybody should be able to do at least that.
