Enjoy the next 4 years. After that its all downhill

Bucketman

So man. School.

I fucked up my semester bu working too much and oversleeping and missing class a lot.

And I wasted the last 3 years. Welp...I'm fucked. hows it going for you other fellow College Bounders?

Doobh

I've been floundering in Jr. Colleges for the past 4 years, and just now I'm beginning to suspect that I have ADD. It sucks seeing all my friends get ready to graduate next year, and how I have at least three years before I can finally get mine.

one semester doesn't kill your academic career you know

you can recover from it

OH NO YOU GONNA FAIL, SON

end of my 3rd week of university, things are going good. It's still pretty much all stuff that I did in high school last year though at the moment, I'm expecting it go get a lot harder soon.

my friend is doing really badly in this junior college we both go to because he is basically extremely lazy. and if I'm calling someone lazy then they're really lazy

there's really no excuse for failing and having to drop the alg II course we share, but as hard as I try I can't convince him to study/do the homework with me any time except directly before a test, and it's clear by now that that isn't enough for him to do well

it's really frustrating. he's smart enough, I think, he's just not particularly great at math. he could easily pass this course (it's algebra 2! seriously) except he's unwilling to try even a little. now he says he's decided to drop the course even though he doesn't know what his grade in the class is or whether he could actually pass it. he's really only saying he's going to drop it so he'll have an excuse not to do the homework that's due friday. uuuugh.

some lessons have to be learned the hard way.

as somebody who has made the mistakes and learned the lessons, it is doubly frustrating to be unable to impart that wisdom

yeah, I guess you're right. I feel like he's just doing exactly what I did in high school to make me end up at junior college in the first place. I got some pretty terrible grades and didn't enjoy myself very much really at all because it was so stressful, and afterward it was disappointing for me to realize that I had basically been a big failure for the past four years. now I'm trying to turn that around, get some good grades, and transfer to a school that's actually worth a damn. but in his case, he had already decided he would go to this junior college no matter what, so he hasn't ever experienced a really significant setback as a result of laziness.

I pretty much ran into this, I never really put forth the effort into actually studyin' and doin' homework for those kinds of classes, and I suffered for it.

Still got about a year to go before I'm outta here, hopefully I can score some sort of internship before then, otherwise I think I'm gonna have a hard time gettin' into a programmin' gig.

Wait, are you me because I'm in the same boat.
I just stayed up all night, cramming for this exam but it's hopeless.
I've gotten so sick of college. Just the word makes me ill.

Fandyien

Wait dude why is messing up one semester invalidating the last three years

thanimations

been there man

the worst part about fucking up the first go around is when you go back and realize that by the time you finish all the schooling you'll need to actually make money, you'll be almost goddamn thirty

but it's better than flipping burgers at the BK

HI5

Muggins

I'm about to finish my 6 month at Full Sail. Which is like a full year at a regular college.

Abracadaniel

How'd Full Sail go for you, Ver?

I thought about going there while I was in high school, but man

math.

Volucrisus Aedrius

I have a history of not giving a fuck about a lot of important shit I should probably care about.

I like to think its what makes me an interesting person.

I really wanted to get a programming-ish job or something like that because I have a huge boner for technology.

then I remembered that I am the worst at math.

Abracadaniel

I just wanted to tighten up the graphics on level 3.

Volucrisus Aedrius

I am not bad at math I just dislike it greatly. Not to sound like a huge boner here but there's few areas where I can't excel or at least perform competitively in.

I just dislike math so even though I find physics interesting, no, I'm gonna end up being a history major.

Ness445

I'm trying to wrangle my love of English (really, linguistics in general.) into a career.

I don't really have any idea what to do with my English major.

Abracadaniel

Teach English

bah dum psh

I've got my Associated in Journalism/Public Relations already, but I'm aiming for a BA.

I'm currently going for Computer animation. It's more art heavy than math heavy, I've only had two math classes so far (College Algebra, and Geometry. I'm about to finish Geometry). 4 of my months had some kind of traditional art class which wasn't difficult, but it was challenging at least for a guy who can't draw all that entirely well.

It's draining. My current schedule this month is Character Creation lecture on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 9am til 1pm, with labs (where we go to a lab and basically model our characters) from 9pm til 1am the same days.

Geometry is on Mondays and Wednesdays with lecture at 9am til 1pm and lab at 5pm till 9pm.

The GOOD thing to do as soon as you enroll is use your fancy student discount to grab the latest copy of Maya(the 3d modeling tool that the school teaches us how to use)

the Game Development course is incredibly math intensive because...well it's all programming. Instead of getting macbook pros like the other students (in a program called Project: Launchbox, all new students get a brand new Macbook Pro, or some PC laptop for the gamedev students.)

Currently I'm incredibly tired and my diet consists almost entirely of coffee and energy drinks. But I'm also modeling a high-poly character so I feel pretty good about that.

Abracadaniel

Sounds cool dude. Which one are you attending, the one in the NW or the one in Orlando?

(I have no idea where you live)

Fandyien

I am english major right now it is pretty okay i guess

deadlyrhetoric

Go to business school.

No. Don't.

Trust me.

Muggins

Orlando (Winter Park). I don't think there is one in the NW. I mean I know Digipen is there if that's what you meant.

Abracadaniel

A friend of mine really lucked out in terms of schooling. Since she graduated from UCF she's been working as the accountant/payroll for a cycling business (with a degree in anthropology) and they're paying for her to relocate with them to South Carolina and get her CPA.

edit: Durr, yeah, I was thinking of Digipen, but I've driven past Full Sail quite a bit on trips to Orlando. We should hang when I get up there.

Hey, look at that... $89,200 for a degree from the CIA in Baking and Pastry.


90 grand, really?

Full Sail cost me around 70 grand.

That seems like way too much for a place like that.

Full Sail sounds like a place where they teach children with downs to fingerpaint

Stale

Thats just tuition, not including tools, supplies, room and board.

God Damn.



and if somehow I get laid off, I can't apply for financial aid or loans for 3 years because I "make way too much" a year. This is some bullshit here. Fuck going back to school. It's pretty much impossible.
