You know, for all the b!tching and whining I do about it, I love it. It's an environment I can thrive in. I've NEVER met any like-minded people in my entire life. I've always been different. But in the past TWO DAYS I've met more of them than I can count - and this is a DAMN SMALL campus. I *ENJOY* getting my ass up every morning and going to class (even though I despise 3/4 of my professors and 4/5 of my classes). I enjoy walking into work and plopping my ass down at the helpdesk (even though I hate it when people ask for help that requires my doing more than resetting a password on the domain, and I hate it when the phone rings.) I love getting on the elevator heading down to the basement, pulling a Dell off the scrap pile and doing it in the butt with a 10lb hammer. I love sitting in the vending area, chatting with the other laptop nerds, aimlessly frittering away time. I love walking into the cafeteria, punching in my order on the touchscreen - and then crashing it, looking over my shoulder, and walking away like I hadn't done anything. I love late night meetings at Dennys. It's just *RIGHT* - even if it is demanding as all hell.
My only regret is that there literally isn't time left between things I want to do and things I need to do to leave room for the girl that I've had my eyes on for quite some time. This makes EyeMWing a sad boy - that is, when I'm not too busy doing other things to remember it.

Just wait till you get to your second year. That's when the sh!t starts to hit the fan.

Actually, I've heard the exact opposite. I know a guy once he graduated with his major, he got a nice 35k job with Sen. Dorgan right of NDSU. The only really dead end majors AFAIK is philosophy.
I actually will agree with that, a lot of my classes just throw a lot of work at me. Nothing thats actually hard.
Mechanical Engineering. Second year is when we started doing all the "Engineering classes" aka Dynamics, Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Materials Science, and the CAD stuff which I really like (co-op with SolidWorks as a tech support engineer right now).
Yeah. Any engineering student tries to say "but this is so hard and life sucks"
dude, thats the best time of your life. It only gets harder.
You have no worries in life other than making it to class and graduating. It doesn't get any easier than that.
Aren't you the guy who's spine was replaced by a metal mechanastruct? So that's what you should do with your life. Become a metal mechanastruct spine guy.

Heh, me go into a medical school?
That would take a lot of convincing, but it would be an extremely rewarding profession.
So you're a freshman, Tab?
Those people will be gone by the end of the semester. They'll be here for one year TOPS. You'll never have to deal with them again because you'll be a sophomore, at which point the average IQ of your class should be considerably higher.
What's your major? If you're in business, I take back everything I said. You'll be dealing with these people for the rest of college and life. Good luck

Do whatever you find to be the most fun. Do you like coding? Do you like math? Do whatever comes closest to what you want to do...
I'm confused. First you complain about the students, then you start talking about how you are not perfect, and then you talk about your car and how it was your fault for killing it. Multilayered mini rant FTW.

well it really depends on what major you are in and your group you hang out with
college can suck if you are in engineering LOL, as many have said,
yes, I went through that too
but for people doing finance or marketting or mass communication
to be honest, i see them having a time of their lives there
so, its really no comparison and hard to judge
Depends on the situation

No, you need to read my thread and think. It seems that everyone has a problem admitting their own problems. No one has any form of personal responsiblity, I can admit I am not perfect. There are people who always have excuses, whats the reason the guy down the hall is failing his history class? Oh, it's too early in the morning. :roll:

college is by far the best time of your life hands down. make the most of it, man the fsck up, and get that diploma. you will have a grin on your face on graduation day like no other 
(except for the guy in the row in front of you getting a bj from some chick)
(except for the guy in the row in front of you getting a bj from some chick)The "real world" that everyone is so afraid to enter is MUCH easier than engineering school. Trust me, I'm at work right now.
