Got in uni in 2008, haven't gotten the degree since. Basically I've been stay for free at the dorms all these years doing weed and alcohol, occasionally fucking some uni hoe if the chance presents itself. I tried to go to lectures for a couple of time and I didn't understand shit so I dropped the effort. My parents stopped sending me money so I have to do some under the table shit right now + collect unemployment welfare. I've started begging the teachers/cheating on exams and I have passed a fairly good amount of lessons. I got like 15 remaining for the degree but I don't know shit. I tried opening a book and study for myself and to my surprise I understand everything. How is this even possible? In the lectures it all seemed chinese to me that why I never bothered. Anyway being 32 years old and with 15 exams remaining for the degree should I bother trying?
14 years undergraduate in STEM here
So...where do you see your life going?
14 years? Wtf
yeah go for it. work sucks way more, not as much daily alcohol and weed, the hoes can go to HR, and you have to go to class and sit through lecture every day for at least 8 hours. the big difference with a degree is you will get paid 50% more because youve proven you can read.
Wow, that's impressive.
>I got like 15 remaining for the degree but I don't know shit.
MFW I find out BGC really mean Bad Greek Coder
Wasn't this posted before?
Glad to see not everyone here has the memory of a squirrel's balls
Wat, you can just stay indefinitely until you pass? Kek wtf man, pass out ASAP
lol
yeah ive failed math 1 8 times till i passed it this semester
Oh, your Greek and therefore a leech, that explains it.
an american 90s flick shouldve been made on your life
lmao
have u considered studying?
Damn that’s bad. I have a friend who has been trying to get his undergrad degree since 2012 so going on 10 years, and it’s in Chem lmao so he isn’t gonna be making much
Greek God taking it easy
I was in a similar situation, STEM field, went to college for 7 years and passed about half the exams by learning bare minimum. The problem was laziness and lying to my family, they all thought i was going to finish anytime soon and have like 1 exam left, when i had 20 courses left to pass, many of which i didn't even listen yet. So a few months before truth finally leaked out, i wanted to kill myself, but for some reason i changed at that moment. I started forcing myself to study and go to lectures and in free time i would relearn the shit i already passed. In 2 years i passed the remaining courses with actually relatively good grades and got my degree. The thing is you have to force yourself to study, no waiting for motivation, just force it, once you start learning the basics properly you can build on top of that so stuff stops being Chinese and you start understanding it.
yea thats my problem jebembro its so fucking painful to study this shit
underrated
Jesus man, and I thought I had it bad, it took me 8 years to graduate because of social anxiety but eventually I graduated, after many years of tears and lots of benzos (worst decision I ever made in my life, thank God I’m off now). Anyway I think you should try to finish it, I really can’t say much because I don’t know any of the specifics but unless you have a plan B I think you should try. A degree by itself is worthless nowadays, so even if you give up you shouldn’t feel like it’s the end of the world, I wanted to give up almost everyday for many years but eventually I made it and I honestly believe you can too, I think that the most important thing you have to focus right now is what you want to do in life, with or without a degree. Good luck and I believe in you.
I mean, I started in 2001 left in 03, came back in 2012 and finished in 2016. STEM grad. The little I learned hasn't helped me once in the real world. I work for myself in the field I studied and could've done it without the degree. I've learned more actually working than I ever did in class.
I know, it took me 5 years to pass math 1 with a minimum passing grade, i don't even know how many times i tried to take the exam. In my 7th year when i finally started studying properly, i passed math 2, differentials and statistics in June and July exam season with good grades each. But you have to force yourself to study, it becomes easier after a while and i actually even found it fun. I think it is also worth it, finding a job wasn't easy, but i bullshitted that i was taking care of a sick relative and working until a firm here decided to hire me.
my close uni bros turned into npc vax cucks and would do stupid shit. I got sick of my alcoholic friend driving like an idiot and getting guns stuck in my face by mexican and armenian animals as a passenger. Finished half a year early and got outta there
