Is college in america really as wild and fun as movies and tv shows make it out to be?

No, normalfags just look back on it fondly because the rest of their lives is miserable.
no it's just leftist indoctrination
Yeah, unironically: 4 years St Michigan State, basically one long drunk debauched party.
depends where you go
I think I peaked in middle school desu, everything past that has been a strady stream of shit
This is a black guy's room
man I go to the uni in my own city here in yurop and it's like highschool but you come and go when you want and people don't get too confident on each other
Stop acting like you weren't a loser in college. We're on this forum for a reason
only white people are the ones doing stupid shit. everyone is behaves well.
Or a wigger
I lost my virginity first week of college. Got lucky befriended another freshmen whose brother was a chad. Was fucking drowning in pussy and alcohol almost failed my freshmen year
Me on the left wall
You don't have to go in to debt to have 4 years of party time
God so many people I know from university talk to me about how they miss it and wish they could go back. I had fun but i remember all the fucking essays and shit too. At least after my wage slaving i have all the time to myself. I also have a good job and have many friends at work; we've even been on lads holidays together. Everyone I know who misses university has a shit life. I'd never go back, unless it was a hard reset and I kept my current knowledge and confidence so I could fuck sluts and take a course that would get me more money afterwards.
What does the end of your post even mean? I am assuming you aren't taking any english classes, correct?
Did you graduate though?
>had multiple chances to go to parties and probably could've gotten laid
>stayed in my dorm room like a loser and browsed Yea Forums
Have ever even heard of the antics that almost every nigger athlete gets into in college? You are out of your fucking mind.
only if you know the right people
if you're not interested in parties or rigorous research, you're better off just going to community college desu
No, it was like high school except you got left alone.
This room is stranger things, bacon, and sezchan sauce levels of epicness
No, unless you're like in the top 5% of chads, it's depressing as fuck. Go to class go home, do shit assignments, and repeat. I remember being a naive little bitch my senior year of high-school, thinking college would be different and a great time. Obviously, I was completely wrong. It's shit.
20% or 33% would be more realistic
If you don't have to work a part time job during the school year and just horde money over the summer and winter break w/ your parents helping you out, college is the easiest stretch of your life since the preschool years. At 19 credits, which is considered to be the high end, you're looking of at most 3 hours of classes most days. You live in a little dinky place but so does everyone else, there's no expectation for you to live in some nice house. Now imagine if you have an active social life on top of this. Frankly I don't understand how more college kids don't just commit suicide when they have to transition to a 9-5 because of how shit everything becomes in comparison, speaking as a nofriends college student right now who wants to blow his brains out working a full time internship over the summer.
Hell yeah UCSB is lit
Got to walk past the store that the Rodge shot up too
I feel you. I've missed out on quite a lot in college because I was too big of a pussy to get out and socialize. But at least I realized this and have taken steps to become a better man. I've met a few friends the past few years I can confidently say are my best bros, I've taken up martial arts and I'm generally not as autistic as I was before. I'm still a 24 year old virgin (not kissless tho) with shit self-esteem, a heavy porn addiction and epic levels of self-loathing ... but it could have been worse, right ? Right ?
(not american)
I mostly socialized outside of collage, just getting to know to young people in the city with similar intrests and mindsets.Lots of great memories and stories. I pretty much achieved everything I wanted from social life in a matter of 4 years.
>achieved everything I wanted from social life
and what was that
>tfw I majored in History at university
I sat in my apartment studying. Wild times.
Really depends on your social class. If you are white, or some from rich family, then sure you can have a blast. If you are Anti-social, poor, and non-white like myself, college sucks. It sucks especially more because I saw a lot of familiar faces from High School.
>tfw final year of college and I'm still a kissless virgin

4 year college? Maybe.
I went to a community college and it was just boring.
When I did my general classes first, maybe those were a little bit more eventful. I think I could have had my first gf then but I was too chicken.
After my general classes I was only in my main degree classes...computer classes. All nerdy guys who had their gamer click already established. They never talked to me and me to them.
I think they assumed I was a normie/chad who was taking their video game courses. In the end, nothing ever happened. Friend or relationship wise.
if you're in college and decently social the only thing that will change is that you will start having sex with more women (if you go out and get it) and you will be exposed to more drugs and alcohol. also because of the dorm system you will have a harder time making friends so you will be lonely (like I am). overall college is gay
>gamer click
It means white bois usually dont get pussy anymore
>tfw turning 35 this year
>thinking about going to uni
>will have to start from scratch
is it too late for me lads?
Tfw you were a good kid in high school but then you started to spiral out of control with drinking and being irresponsible in college, then you graduate and it just gets worse while everyone else is growing up but you're just getting drink alone now reading 8pol and soon you've wasted your 20s getting drunk and being racist and once you realize it, you don't have many friends left.
Been sober for 9 months but I'm getting low self esteem when I think of the person I used to be... I had so much confidence also
Well, I'm definitely not wrong. If I am, by all means please correct me.
>assignments and homeworks every single day
>friends from the first semester either dropped out or change campus
>literally like highschool except you can't go home
college is the worst
yes don't be that creepy old guy that sits in the front row and makes everyone else uncomfortable if anything just do it online
Yes, you’ll be the weird boomer in class with 18-21 year olds
Not even close. The simpsons were making fun of this so far back
you're a beta virgin
How the fuck do you get a job at 24 with no degree? Not even trades jobs want to hire me
Entirely depends on the university. It can be really comfy. I was fortunate to go to a big established and really pretty campus. I went to maybe two crazy parties in my four years but more enjoyable was being able to walk around the quads safely day or night and just have access to a bunch of different things to get involved in. There was a coffee house that opened at midnight and was really chill for a 20 year old me to go to and just relax with other quiet but nice people.
The majority of people that truly try to turn it into Animal House drop out second year. I guess if they had fun no judgement then, but you can still have a good time without having to be TOO social.
You pretty much summed up my life in one post, except for sobering up. Fuck this, i'll die with bottle in my hand.
>got invited to go to a college bar twice
>realized over time this guy goes there 3 times a week
dodged a bullet am i right guys?
You didnt miss much. I partied my first year of college and it wasn’t worth it. It’s so shallow and the people I met werent real friends. It’s fun at first but you can get in some real trouble if your not careful. I kinda shut myself off the last 3 years but dont do that either. Go socialise in the clubs and events and make some real friends. Those people will be there for you.
Hey so did I, for one year
It was the most fun year I had in uni, great class, parties every weekend and a class trip to Poland, but I switched to logistics the next year as I knew it was pretty much a dead end
get a job as a dishwasher
It's okay. Made some good friends and got laid a few times. Very stressful and monotonous though. I'm 25 and about to start my masters at a much bigger, nicer university which should interesting.
But I'm married, and have sex at least 3 times a week, sometimes even more! How many times do you "have sex"?
Gotta be white, and or know a guy/girl who can hook you up. Start networking.
lmao you married to your hand nigga
Who you callin' a nigga?
Don't listen to these retarded kids. Do it, especially if you are looking at a career. Compared to a career job college will be easy as fuck in terms of workload.
Gotta know someone or go to a community college and take your damn certificate courses.
Depends what your abilities are.
If you're a chick you suck dick. If you're black or hispanic any company these days will hire you for SJW clout. If you're a straight white male, either kill yourself or become NEET.
I did a modern history degree and now i work as a test consultant for the UKs largest (by membership) pension company earning like 87th percentile of UK household income by myself (depressingly its still not that much money, like 47k pa)

>end up in crushing debt owing tens of thousands of dollars
>get a good job working your whole life to pay off that massive debt
huh?
I liked high school a lot. University was shit.
Probably because I didn't live on campus. But it was completely different and not at all enjoyable.
The study is more demanding and the people are more self centred. Fuck uni
The American dream.
Blacks don't listen to Chance
How far did you get with your education?
I know plenty of highschool dropouts that have jobs. Mostly construction workers. One of them is a longshoreman, and he makes 6 figures at this point.
If you have a highschool diploma, plenty of jobs out there for you. If you hate all the jobs that are available, it's not too late to go to a technical college and get schooling done to get into trades.
Just stop being retarded and apply yourself.
You don’t. I had 2 years experience working overseas as a freelance consultant and project manager, and could barely get my own job in the states with that and a triple major. Best advice is get your resume professionally done. Apply to everything and everywhere you can. Call, follow up, do anything you can to stand out because those people get 100 applicants a day. It’s pretty much a numbers game. Get a temporary job. Just dont work in food service or a grocery store if you can help it
I was lucky enough to have parents that paid for my schooling so I wouldn't have debt.
Highly recommend. I have a decent entry level engi job now with no debt over my head.
I pay 100$ a year for college
Though the books I need cost a fair bit more
Only if ur not an autist.
>Went to one of the most prestigious schools in the US, famous for its party scene too

This. I took 15 credits and treated a social/drinking life like a full time job.
I was a slob though, so I only got laid a handful of times, by girls I wasn't excited by. Additionally, now my life is trash in all regards: back at home, debt, shitty retail job, no friends, etc
Do it. Your life probably sucks now, and a college degree will improve it. The more time you spend not doing it, the worse off you'll be.
literally hitler
If you're a loser outside of college you'll be a loser in college too.
Me in the mask
>Dropped out of history and make bank doing bullshit.
I got lucky, don't let drunk me tell you otherwise.
it will be boring unless you go out and meet people one way or another
I worked during my first 3 years so I didn’t really think I had time to rush or anything like that so I spent most of my time not in class or at work playing vidya with friends from home and reading
first semester senior year I stopped working and studied abroad in Spain and met a bunch of awesome people both from my school and others, and my last semester was easily my favorite because I was finally out doing shit with friends instead of just talking to my old friends from home
History is a fine degree so long as you don't intend to pursue a career that involves the subject matter. I worked at a high paying tech marketing job for a while now I'm making wine.
Also to OPs question, yes, american college is a blast unless you're an autistic shut-in.
The USPS straight up auto hires you if you score high enough on a test.
In my facility everyone who got at least an 87 at least got hired, even if they got fired soon after.
If you're dumb, apply in a nighole area, its free money essentially.
It was for me. University of Alabama.
Or be poor like me. Virtually no debt and 2 degrees in 2 more years from a decent uni. How to know that youre college is decent enough is if they meet 100% demonstrated financial need, which means that you only pay roughly what you or your family could pay per FAFSA
Yep. Unfortunately part of that club as well.
Lucky I still have a few friends, decent enough job, money saved up. Just try to be as frugal as possible, be proactive about your debt. Try to get outdoors and enjoy yourself this summer.
Nothing will every compare to your uni years. You're essentially at your prime. Getting wasted, meaningless sex, playing it hard and fast, living off ramen and pizza and fast food. Then one day you graduate, get a piece of paper, and you're just sort of expected to make something of yourself.
>put in effort to make friends
>exchange numbers
>hear nothing from them

lol
People these days are massive flakes. You're not alone lad.
Texas A&M here, also super fun
Why would you say this?
>t. Dishwasher part-time
Not true, you’re just a spineless little bitch. Hs sucked ass for me, but college was way better. Granted I’m good looking average height so it worked out in the end
Having a degree means earning more money
What college did y'all attend? For me it's the University of Notre Dame
>your whole life
lol no. Think about it this way: if you end up 80k in debt after a 4 year degree but you find an 80k/year job, its functionally equivalent to spending 5 years earning the degree. Even if you fuck up and have to go be a waitress for 40k a year, that's still only 6 years earning a degree.
Money is just time. You already spent 4 years making zero money, what's the big deal about a 5th?
Plenty of jobs out there. Probably all beneath your retarded ass. Get your hands dirty and get a shitty job so your foot is in the door.
So what where you doing for 15 years that you couldn’t get a degree?
Its okay bud, I socialize quite a bit in college and made a bunch of friends but still am a 25 virgin (mostly because I am in the closet) with a porn addiction but no self loathing. It could definitely be worse.
>tfw no fancy college life experience because parents were poor as fuck and because I was white no scholarships
I see less and less white dudes at college now that I'm an adult taking night classes. There is a shit load of us at community college however
It's fun because you spend many nights partying and becoming drunk with other young people your age. You have very few responsibilities other than getting your credits and many majors nowadays are piss easy so for many people it's a 3-4 year semi vacation.
Serves you right
Anyone else here fall for the Frat meme?
Partying gets boring really fast. Every weekend I was getting shit faced my first year of college, but you can only wake up miserable and sick for so long until the feeling of unaccomplishment sets in. When summer rolled around, I felt a lot more happy and fulfilled knowing I did well in my math courses and understood the material better than most. Compared to knowing I got laid a few times and had a few hours of fun while drunk.
>mfw Americucks have to pay for university
I got a degree in compsec degree, but no one is interested in me because I have no job experience in the field and all entry positions get flooded.
>not true, but true

No, it is never too late. In Canada, classes are always a mix of age ranges. I've had math courses with 50yr old people whom only just discovered their passion for it. Only Americans seem to have a stigma of someone being "too old for college".
No I dropped out after freshman year and got a job for 12$ an hour. I was making 60k when my friends (who most are still careerless) had racked up 80k in college debt. College is the biggest meme unless you know what you're doing.
This. How much more cucked can you get?
I'm joining the Canadian Armed Forces after college so they'll pay off my student loan debt.
>mfw eurocucks have to pay for mohammad's housing and living expenses
Have fun dying in Iran, bro
Says the one who's paying the welfare of niggers lmao.
The older guys are those I've had the most fun with. There's something endearing about a boomer making a U-turn in his life and daring to try something new. They also tend to take uni more seriously than most.
I got a comp sci degree and could not find anything for an entry position. I just recently got a job teaching comp sci though so its worked out a little bit. I know everyone says just keep looking but thats all you can really do.
I had a private dorm, never talked to anyone, and play star craft 2 alone for 4 years.

did you enjoy it tho
>martial arts
cringe
It was ok. I partied and had an active social life back then but never once got sex. I made it through all of college without losing my virginity and it didn't happen until last year when I was 28. But I did have some good times and met some friends at least. Got to travel abroad for a semester which was probably the best experience of my life. Met and fell in love with my oneitis who I still think about every single day and still want despite having fucked and dated other girls at this point. But maybe that's not a good thing, I don't know. Also, I'm unemployed and basically have been ever since graduating aside from shitty retail and seasonal help jobs here and there, so my degree is essentially worthless. Mixed bag of good experiences, friends, heartbreak, and wasted time, money, and effort is how I guess I would describe it.
I'm 30 and starting in September. I'm past the point of even caring if a bunch of 18 year olds see me as an old guy tbqh. Fuck it.
Turning 31 myself and I'm starting in September. We can do this, dude.
At the time, yes. But the joy came from the lack of anxiety that socializing would have caused me.

I-it's not too late, right bros?
Theres a stigma for it because college is more about a life style than it is about the education aspect. If you are an older person going to college for the first time and just take the classes and go on with your day, most people will not judge. The problem is the older people trying to capture something they missed out on.
My sophomore year there was like a 34 year old guy who went to my college and decided he also wanted to live in the dorms with everyone else. He also wanted to go out to parties and get the full college experience. It was weird and kind of sad. He was also fat and in bad shape it was just really pathetic to see.
I've spent a little more than a decade being a NEET after dropping out (of HS). No degree, no job history. I can't drive, either. I'll be 30 in 6 months.
>degenerate fucks leaving opened cans and bottles near your bed
this out of anything i have seen absolutely disgusts me
at best, you wake up the next morning to a fucking room temperature/warm drink. anything you possibly had before could not be good at room temperature, even water
at worst you have fucking insects in your drink so you have to throw the bottle/can anyways
just drink your drink fully and throw it out/recycle it when you're done
this makes me cringe so fucking hard
I majored in Archaeology and anthropology. I know your feels.
>I-it's not too late, right bros?
No. Especially if you are only 25 lmao. Literally nothing to worry about.

what the hell is going on here
I'll be enlisting as a nurse so I'll likely be sitting on a base or in a comfy tent yelling at teenagers for doing stupid shit to hurt their feet. There is also a realistic possibility of me working for the natural disaster response unit of the army; so I'd set up adhoc hospitals to treat people hurt by floods, fires, hurricanes ect.
Yah every job has the risk of combat, but healthcare providers that require extremely long education are rarely thrown into the line of fire.

guess it really depends where you go, but college was very boring.

It's only "too late" if you fuck up and start a family before being financially secure. If you're fucking 44 and single, but financially secure, fuck it go ahead.

>where you jack off

That stigma is dying. More people are going back to education for a career change or because they got by without a degree until now and want to get it. 2015 onward I've seen mature students become more of the norm. There's always gonna be a guy that wants to relive his youth but they aren't a representation of older students today.
No black individuals here in Poland
>he likes to look up and see grinning niggers as he is ridden
Thats even worse you cuck.
There were two weekends out of the year at the school I went to where it was absolutely as chaotic and fun as the movies, the rest of the time was pretty chill. I wish I could go back now that I'm not a shy virgin and literally drown in all the fresh 18-20 year old pussy though since I never managed it back then.
it was for me. it's pretty fun in europe, too - i've heard.
excellent banter my dude
I never understood why people believe getting shit faced constantly is an essential youth experience. I partied a lot in HS and early college, and it certainly is not my fondest memory of being young. The feeling of freedom and invincibility it gives is completely shallow. I wish I had spent more time as a teenager learning to develop friendships/relationships not entirely based on drinking. It would've helped me socially as an adult.
>I can't drive, either.
Me neither, dude. I keep telling myself I'm gonna do all this shit when I have a decent steady income but its time to get a degree first. We'll catch up eventually, with fewer experiences but we'll get there.
Get rid of general education requirements and college is fixed. It's demoralizing for the intelligent and corrupting for the indoctrinable and a blatant cash grab.
i originally saw this on stormfront quite a few years back, fuck knows what's happening though lmao
Basically it's a small village of people your age with hormones coming out of their ears, all experimenting with drugs and alcohol for potentially the first time. Yes, it is the craziest time of my life. Wasn't worth the money, though.

i never had a dorm, the college i went to was in downtown so everyone just commuted
Me too man. Im really not sure what i was supposed to do about it. I had a bunch of friends but was never invited to any kind of party and only got 1 date which was the only girl i met in school. My last semester there was only 1 female in all my classes. I joined a couple clubs but nobody was interested in socializing with me.
Bow i have a nice job but im in a small city 2 hours from home and the only people here are 40 year old boomer computer programmers.
Wtf am i gonna do with my life.
brainlet nigger, kys
listen to me and listen carefully.
do it immediately - but don't fuck it up.
if you don't - you'll be 39... 40... 45... and wishing to hell you did do it.
online and night classes are your best bet. if you go in the day - like others said - just don't be a weirdo.
I will be going to college at 29 but I could easily pass for 22-23 so while I've worried about looking like a weirdo, I imagine no one will notice.
I'm 28 and recently went back to college and had to start from scratch. I thought I would feel awkward but my first week I saw the wide age range of my community college. We have some 60 student walking around with his oxygen tank and no one pays him any attention. I've also made a lot of friends. Even fugged a 19 year old arthoe from my lit class.
no.
i went to school for a STEM degree and I spent 90% of my waking time studying, networking or applying for internships/co-ops
if you're doing anything worthwhile you don't really have time for getting drunk and partying and your classmates are all chinese and indians anyways
>community college
And just to think, in another 10 years you'll be 40 or dead with still no degree, no job history and no ability to drive. And your parents will be that much closer to dying.
mfw im 32 and can easily pass for a 22 year old
Unironically this
I was friends with a rez manager and the amount of shit coaches do to cover up dumb shit the niggers do is insane
yes but i go to an art college, i feel like STEM focused people have to spend 90% of their time studying (no shame there, its a hard field) so their free time is middling.
I'm not trying to catch up. I have no plan or expectation. I'll get a paltry inheritance that I can coast on when my caregivers die (anytime within the next decade). I'll have to move somewhere else for sure, like to a place with cheap standard of living to make it last longer. Probably spend the rest of my short life drinking until I die/kill myself alone.
Community college lets you take half the classes required for a degree at 25-50% the price.
I'm just kidding, I don't even really know what a community college is lmao, I'm not American
>is IRL like Hollywood
I had a great time at uni despite not being a turbonormie. Got voted as anime society president in 2nd and 3rd years, got to make people watch things I like and they couldn't do anything about it. Made a handful of close friends who like the same things as me but arent obnoxious about it. Society membership went from 10 to 40 while I was in charge, I miss the power.
Also used society money to buy anime figurines and pizza for myself.
Most people itt will have chosen a hard major thinking their autism won't prevent them from doing something good with it so they spent all college studying.
My major was easy as fuck so i had like 70% of my waking time for whatever the fuck I wanted, and i still got a good career out of it. It was great.

Yeah whatup bitch
Because its really the only time in life where it is acceptable. Its no big deal if a 20 year old college student gets shit faced at 3pm on a Wednesday, but a 30 year old doing that is just sad. Also they are physically able to put more wear and tear on their body compared to an older person. I am 25 now and I can't drink nearly as much as I did just 5 years ago.
Yea Forums aren't most of you white and American?
Why don't you fuck the Asians or pajeetas that would settle for any kind of white boyfriend? Riddle me then this.
In France too, the easiest pussy is Muslim chicks who'll settle for less handsome if you're white.
It's a college in the suburbs where the land owners there teach students in exchange for landscaping their lawns and maybe babysitting the kids if you're a woman.
Yeah, I know.
Depends on where you go to, I went to a college town in San Marcos out here in Tx, and if you wanted to it could every bit as wild as the movies show.
Summers or vacations in college are a lot more chill if you live in your town year round. Just a bunch of kids bored with nothing to do now that classes and parties are over till next semester so you just sit around, play vidya, and shoot the shit. Was more comfy than the semester even though the school year had all the frantic life events.

I put a picture of a nigger on my wall right over my bed, he is really good at rhyming the last word of ever sentence to a beat so I wanted him to be the first thing I see when I wake up! I put it right next to my poster of an adult cartoon, it is very intellectual, you might have heard of it.
What happened to putting up posters of hot girls or nice cars or beautiful scenery?
You're probably overthinking that image
Having a social life and majoring in STEM is doable. You just need to work on time management. There were a few weekends where I had to stay in and study instead of going out but most of the time I was able to get all my work done during the week so I could enjoy the weekend.
College was basically boys in dorm rooms playing Halo and girls watching Nicholas Sparks movies. There was always time for the bar but it isn't much fun listening to the "sweat drip from my balls" at 11 volume.
I majored in history. Do my history craft professional. Got to write a couple books and continue to do all sorts of history related projects in the community and with museums. I'm not a millionaire but part of a shrinking middle class. Paid off my student loans, own a home, got the girl in the end and a dog too.
The only real issue is the baby boomers don't take me seriously but do they really take any of us seriously?
Maybe that fag should have put the same amount of thought into his room.
I just mean that I'm in the same situation. It felt like a long time while those years passed but now that they have I'm wondering where it all went and I why I didn't do even one good thing for myself.
>posters of hot girls or nice cars or beautiful scenery?
hey boomer autist
Cause I prefer white women? I'm in STEM and am dating one of the few white women in my department. I can appreciate Chinese culture but I have 0 attraction to their women.
Really? Because my kids aren't going to college unless it's for philosophy or history. You can learn STEM shit online for free and spend 6 months getting certifications for next to nothing.
It's not to late to start again but don't expect to have a social life there, you're still 35 and the kids are 18-24
Lost my virginity within a month of starting. I ended up having all the same classes as a qt 8/10 goth chick for the first semester, so we ended up pairing up and sharing homework and notes and shit, then started dating after a few weeks. I consider myself a 5 on a good day, so I could have fucking kissed whatever class registrar stuck us in the same schedule. We went to like gothy industrial party things every once in a while, where made me realize I fucking hate techno, but I kept my mouth shut because pusy. Felt like a chad for the first time in my life dating someone so out of my league. Then I visited her parents place over winter break, and was startled to notice that I look like an almost perfect younger clone of her dad who died when she was in HS. It was a real "what did she mean by this?" moment.
I doubt it is anymore. Used to be a fun social thing to do while you wait to get your diploma. Political correctness has ruined that beyond repair. Glad I graduated when I did.
i see some pop culture posters, standard furniture, drinks on the bedside table, looks like a fairly normal dorm to me
>You can learn STEM shit online for free and spend 6 months
This is cope, those people rarely do it.
I feel you, I genuinely can't see the attraction for something with a face as flat as the asians have.
I meant that more for all the anons complaining about not getting any. Get the derpy Asian who idolises you for being white, and ditch her when it's time to get serious.
It means you're gonna have to be the man in her family now dawg
What did she mean by this?
bases and red pilled
Employers don't give a shit if you can watch lectures and get some mickey mouse certification, they wanna know if you can pass hard STEM exams under time constraint
I was a pretty bad kid in HS, spent most of my time shitfaced and partying. Kicked out of athletics, been suspended, even spent a week in county. But by senior year I had learned all my lessons. When I got to college I was plenty prepared and had built up enough self control to be in the library the weekend before test week instead of the bars. Ended up graduating w/ a near 4.0 and RN job at the hospital.
Saw a lot of good kids take your route b/c they had never experienced that kind of stuff and got sucked in to it. You gotta have self discipline in college because you really can just waste away and party/do drugs 24/7.
Barely anyone at any university gives a fuck about political correctness. Its a facade put on by the universities as a marketing ploy to get admission rates up while handing out worthless degrees.
>be a lazy arrogant bastard but got away with it with good grades in high school and a one year course at another uni
>start notoriously hard engineering degree because muh potential
>continue being lazy bastard
>on the 7th year of a 5 year degree
I can confirm, if I had to choose again I'd honestly go for a way shorter degree possibly in a trade, but I am in way too fucking deep now to quit
I think about my future, which is a black hole I can't conceive of beyond what I mentioned above, a lot more now that I'm so close to 30. The years just melt together into nothing. I don't have the physical capacity or even more importantly the mental capability to cut it with roughnecks in some trade job if I even by some means get hired. I have no ambition or desire to do anything career wise and I never have. The over-saturated piss-ant career tech support market would be my only "easy" hope to "aim" for and I think it would just mean coming home and not even wanting to look at a computer screen. I don't want to get a GED. I definitely don't fucking ever want to set a foot in a college, the thought makes me sick to my stomach. And while at 18 I could have gotten some autism crippling social anxiety and depression panic attack BUX I'd have to really bullshit my way through any testing nowadays, even though I'm still an emotional cripple in a lot of ways.
Because there are no asians or pajeets in my country?
And I ain't spending thousands of euros just to fly half the globe and fuck a tranny
Employers don't give a shit about that at all, actually. I work in a STEM job at a pharmaceutical company and nobody gives a fuck that I majored in history.
>Those people
My kids will be exceptional people who don't need to sit through 4 years of expensive nonsense for someone to teach them math. If you work in STEM you get certs, if you work in the arts you get a college degree. The only STEM thing worth studying at University is Physics because ongoing college research is genuinely worthwhile. Everything else is worthless.
>My kids will be exceptional people
Every parent thinks this even when their kid is a useless shithead
Sweaty, I was addressing the Americans only.
Tbh I just plan to kill myself when my mom dies.
My wife graduated with a BS top of her class and my I is 130. My kids WILL be exceptional.
why don't all americans do this?
>its normal cuz he has furniture
Almost done with a business transfer degree from community college. Basically the "I still have no idea what I want to do transfer degree".
What should I declare as a major lads? Realistically I just want to start my own LLC's for simple maintenance jobs that I can hire people to do the work and I just take care of the legal and accounting records. But just incase I never develop the motivation and inspiration to do it, what should I go to school for?
This, I just worked during the week and partied on the weekend. If test week was upcoming I might wake up early saturday to hit the library. Sure I might not be able to go out to dollar dos equis night on tuesday but I never allowed studying to get in the way of my social life.
The thing about STEM is this, you may have a lot to study, but you can study when you want. You're basically making your own hours, so you should be able to schedule your study time to allow you to have an ample social life. Just be consistent, and efficient during your allocated study time.
What are you even saying?
t.
One of my best buds went to a HS down here that was basically a ivy league prep factory. He scored a 2150 on his SAT. Still working on that film degree and by god I wish him the best. He's a lazy fuck.
My first year in college I moved into the dorms a few weeks early, before basically anyone else. One of my roommates also moved in a few days later as well as a couple of our neighbors. Was possibly the most comfy few weeks ever with a handful of us having the dorm and practically the whole campus to ourselves. I remember we ran around outside and played in puddles during a rain storm one night while drinking and tried to have a water balloon fight.
I hear logistics is an ever growing and ever more relevant field, so that's what made me go for it
Yes and no. I went to a largely commuter school, so most kids lived with their parents. Some of the older kids who owned or rented their own places would throw parties, though, and those would be fairly wild.
Spent a lot of time in college mostly just smoking weed and playing pool, though.
Depends on your major and school
If you have an easy degree at a state school like
Then you can spend your entire time just getting drunk and high with other people
But try doing that with an engineering, physics, or even compsci degree and you'll either fail out of school or get a super low GPA ,no internships, and be one of those people that whines about why they don't get employed.
Don't knock it bro, I banged 5 out of 7 of the 'nerdy girls' who had boyfriends back home. If you're not a sweaty autist and have semi decent looks then they throw themselves at you.
Why are you in the closet, user? You’re 25 and there’s never been a better time in history to be openly homo
How did you find a place to live over there?
Ive replied to 50+ adds and shit nobody has got back to me
Sure, I'm sure your kids will just be gifted with an exceptional work ethic too
>tfw got roommate kicked out of dorm for weed
>he assaulted me and got fucking BANISHED from college
lmao I hope he is still in debt
I'm 24, that guy was a living embodiedment of the boomer meme though
He understood little to nothing about modern trends, listened to early 00's trance beats most of the time and kept expressing his annoyance of how everyone were on their phones all the time
He provided some pretty good weed though, I suspect he was a dealer earlier in his life
>my I is 130
Oh no no no
Can confirm, I lived in a "party" apartment my first sophomore semester at state. It was miserable and I immediately moved out the next semester. All it involves user is getting drunk and watching youtube videos/listening to music with other people.
Normalfags are unironically more miserable and mentally ill than the people on this board. In some ways I would even say they're more lonely, because even if you spend your entire life lurking here you can unironically have more genuine conversation than what those people have in their day to day lives.
I love dick but not other people. I don't plan to or really want to get married or date so ultimately I don't see the point. Even though I am sure quite a few people already assume or know I am.
What counts as semi-decent looks again? I was thinking about joining the anime society as a joke for an exchange I'm doing, we don't really have those back home.
It's in Scandinavia so the situation is probably different
I was also lucky enough that my buddy's family were owning an apartment that just got vacant by the time all of us were looking for a place to stay, I'll be paying about 400$ a month together with the others
Yeah, maybe if you had studied during university time instead of getting hammered and doing dumb shit, you might have gotten a better job.
Fucking dumbasses, I hate students, I wish those fucking proles would stay away.
I would learn a trade if I was 20 again.
Universidad de la matanza
i went back to college at 26 and got out with a masters in stem at 32
i didnt try to have a college experience because that would have been pathetic, i just went to classes and came back home. However i managed to get straight A's for 6 years and a perfect 4.0 at a top stem school just because i wasnt a 18y old idiot (no offense but college age kids are really bad at doing homework on time)
>Paying taxes your whole life for 5 years in college
DAMN NIGGER
It is pretty weird honestly. Some come up with interesting things to do but otherwise they chat around a table like you would inside a 4channel thread, get so bored somebody uses a drinking game at some point, watch a TV show to pass the time...
>Going to college just bc you will be forced to pay for it anyway through taxation
NICE SLAVERY SCHEME YOU GOT THERE SON
SPBP, It does depend on where you go. Most are kinda bad, but some are awful. Mine isn't too bad except teachers will take points off of your papers if you don't use their "PC word choice".
UT Austin
not after I rape them to death
Go hawks.
Nah just do it. You'll live to 60 with good health so you'll have 20 years to work with your degree
Because Asians and pajeetas are low tier scum
TBF I think that maybe I should try to make more friends in my major (engineering) and try to join some actual clubs that I might be able to find more interesting people in
But yeah, my roomate who kept throwing parties was your typical frat guy, and its shocking how boring these parties actually are. It's literally just getting drunk and "talking," none of which is ever interesting
I Lost my virginity at 28 and ive been living with that same girl for 6 months, theres still hope bro
Literally me
Yes, especially if you’re in a decent frat
t. Frat douche
23 in August. Can't drive, no jobs, barely scraped by in my leaving cert due to family shit, been out of HS since 2017.
July 3rd I'm going to some college to see about courses in September. No idea what I want to do. I just don't want to be like some of the guys here in their 30s ;-;
>it's depressing as fuck. Go to class go home, do shit assignments, and repeat.
Holy shit, this
After the first or second year when you finish your general ed classes, the excitement has worn off, you need to take a semster full of real classes that require actually studying your ass off, and every professor thinks youre only taking their class for the semester so they can assign you whatever ridiculous amount of work they want. You come up with 0 personal time to do anything, not even grocery shopping. Holy fuck i got in a traffic accident in the beginning of the semester and had no time to actually take care of it until the semester ended. And boomers at work keep asking me what i did over the weekend, every weekend, and reminisce about how great college was for them. Sick of it.
user, the NPC meme is reality. Those people you described aren't miserable, they are simply devoid of depth or thought and therefore do not have the self awareness to feel that. The meaningless conversations they have about how """deep""" that YouTube video or Netflix show they just watched while drunk and high are as profound, deep, and intellectual as they are capable of getting. And they believe it, they think they are philosophical geniuses that have figured out the world for it. There is nothing more for them and they are not programmed to feel that there could be, so they are blissfully unaware of how shallow and empty they are. They aren't even really human I don't think. Nice, for the most part, but not intelligent or willful enough to be anything more than background extras of everyday life.
At least the thread wasn't deleted for once
College is what you make of it. I suggest joining some sort of club (frat for me)
fucking Yea Forums admins.
Unfortunately from experience I know that those people can tend to be highly mentally unstable and violent. There's legitimate gun violence in the side of campus I live in, and some of the frat people I had to hang out with starting showing where they cut themselves when they got drunk. The reason that there are massive mental health counseling centers on modern college campuses are because of these people.
They can't stand living their sick, empty lives, so they have to drain funds from everyone else.
All teachers are batsshit crazy. Gota pander to them. Remember its all about the grade,.so just write the paper about capitilism being a failed Western experiment, collect your star, and move on.
Join frats is good if you show up to campus with no connections. You'll make friends and freshmen girls throw themselves on you. After a few years just quit paying dues, it's not like your friends won't be friends with you because you arent in the frat anymore.
If you know people or are good at making friends it ain't worth the time and money however.
no one is blissfully unaware of everything, everybody is miserable all of the time. the reason why people talk about shallow subjects while socializing is because deep subjects are guaranteed argument material and because not every conversation has to read like schopenhauer. i would also add that your idea of a deep conversation is probably you lecturing a bunch of "background extras" on how clever you are while they admiringly agree
>tl;dr you're not special and you should pull your head out of your ass
>everybody is miserable all the time
Keep thinking that pseudo-deep thought. People who actually aren't failures in life generally aren't miserable. Its idiots who fuck their own lives up that say stupid shit like that.
> tfw majored in international relationships and economics
depends on the frat. some of the frats at my school were actually pretty cool, and i say that as a non-greek. i don't really understand the frat douche stereotype and i often suspect that it's a media invention to turn everyone against student self-organization
the SSRI and anti-anxiety meds industry argues otherwise
IDK wtf u guys are talking about, but I had a similar experience at UGA to this guy
Too bad I had to transfer to GA tech for my last 2 years. Much less fun.
>go to community college
>there is no frat or partying shit, its basically an extension of highschool so all the cliques carried over and nobody tries making new friends since they still have their highschool group of friends
>transfer to Uni
>all the people you meet are serious about their classes since theyre juniors/seniors like yourself
>focused on succeeding rather than meeting people since they already did that in their freshman year of Uni
Doing the CC -> Uni transfer is so economically beneficial but fucking blows since all of the "social" aspects of college people are fond of happens in the first 2 years at uni.
Same. I went through my party phase in high school so I didn't really care too much for it. Don't have any regrets about it either
yea if you go to a real university
Some frats are legitimate douches, but yeah it all depends on the culture of that particular frat. That's why it's important during rush week to really try to find the right fit of guys
I just went to class and had sex with my roomate/bf.
Ended up graduating law school. Never practiced though, because i hate lawyers.
>Is college in america really as wild and fun as movies and tv shows make it out to be?
Not for everybody. My kids both liked it, but lived off campus. One kid dormed as a frosh and fucking hated it. I have to admit, dorming would get under my skin, too.
Right winger who was like a fish out of water detected.
Dorming is something you look back on with fondness, you're stuck together with a bunch of eager, scared and wide-eyed freshmen and make a lot of friends. You'll know kids from your dorm all 4 years in college.
However during that time it's one huge infringement on your privacy and impossible to masturbate effectively. It's great to make friends but fuck if it isn't tiresome always having somebody in your room with you.
maybe if you go to a real university and live on campus
went to a second-rate university while holding a full time job and living on my own, it's worse than high school.
My first year was full time both a student and employee and that was hell on earth. i couldn't imagine doing that the entire time.
IN the right circumstances, yeah. In her circumstance, she had three roomies. One was a rich jew bitch who thought doing dishes was beneath her, and it made a lot of problems. She left garbage everywhere like a total scum bitch. One other kid left because of it, and the new 4th kid was a psycho bitch who was even worse than the jew. Made up stories about how people were sabotaging her food, makeup, cutting her hair in her sleep. My kid is genuinely decent person who would never do that kind of shit, so she left to avoid any false accusations. Now she loves her apartment, has friends and a good guy, and a cat.
Unfortunately yes. I say unfortunately because if you have childhood traumas and grew up poor and shit like that you will literally miss out.
I always felt like I could take never catch a breath which is unfortunate because you should lap up every single moment.
Keggers, wild parties, everything. College was the best. Real life is faggy and shit compared. Fake and gay.
pic related except no one is looking at you disgusted and more guys
been thinking about going back in my 30s myself.. one of these days i'll get enough motivation to at least figure out if any of my old credits count.
That is not the "party" apartment. That sounds like people with no social skills trying to pretend like they do.
I lived in the party apartment for a year and we had people over usually from Wednesday-Saturday. Yeah we would have music playing but also various drinking games and people actually enjoying each other's company. When people weren't over we would do stupid shit like watch youtube videos and even play magic but that was only when it was the roommates around. Once we had guests that stuff would go away and we would be social. It got old and tiring towards the end but it was fun.
>Keggers, wild parties, everything. College was the best. Real life is faggy and shit compared. Fake and gay.
Umm.. backwards, bro. College is fun, but be assured of one thing, college is nothing but faggy shit, completely fake, and gay as fuck safe space. RL may suck, but thats up to you, it is what you make of it. So, if RL is fake and gay, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but thats 100% your fault.
at big 4 year universities sure. i partied or went out clubbing just about every weekend. one semester i managed to get all my classes on tues/thurs and really went wild. of course then i kept doing that... and after several years the work got so hard i couldn't continue to skip 50-100% of the lectures and just study the night before exams, that was a problem, since i had picked a very difficult major and didn't really want to change it. then all the drug abuse had caught up by senior year...
still, most fun of my life.
>have two classes a day, each like an hour, slowly walk to class, hang out with other kids
>go to work 9to5, co-workers are gay and stupid and they're there everyday, no sex, can't skip, have to wait until after work, if you fucked up and didn't pick medicine and instead picked engineering/compsci you hang out with other boomer/genx men and millenials who get no sex too and have to hang out with you everyday on the computer
no it's you with the brain aneurysm.
What did u major in and what do u do now
I joined one and was heavily involved on a national scale and got to see a bunch of different chapters around the country.
The stereotype is very self perpetuated. The douchebags get the idea that they need to be douches in order to join a frat so they act like that. You end up getting a large group of guys trying to out douche each other because thats what they expected college and greek life to be about. Then you get other people looking at this group of people from the outside and see exactly that, a group of douchebags.
Mine had a good mix of nerdy people and sporty people so it was a good balance of guys that you could party with if you wanted to and some that you could just play video games with if thats what you wanted to do.
You lose alot of freedom. Also alot of bullshit but honestly getting out of highschool i imagine it better going mitary route for a technical job unless youre going for some crazy degree.
If you think crippling debt and leftist indoctrination is wild and fun, then sure.
UBA master race
depends what autists you hang out with
and I bet you don't have time to party because that school is difficult
College is day camp. Its the step between adulthood and adolescence. Your responsibilities are don't die and don't get kicked out. So, that means some homework, and everything else is play time. Which makes it FAKE AND GAY. But - IRL, you use that degree to get what you want. That is reality. If you don't have grandiose desires, normal life can be pretty rewarding. But it has little to do with cliques and getting a nice "atta-boy" on your midterm paper. Your rewards are purely yours. What you do with it is ultimately up to you.
No. It can be if you have the right skintone and personality.
