Wolfhorde
01.29.13 | Y'know, having a more demanding school system can be quite swell so you can adjust to this more easily and chill. Or you could just work on shit in your spare time and get shit done. |
Lakes
01.29.13 | is this because of me |
Chortles
01.29.13 | idk man i've been used to competitive/demanding school my whole life (had a 3.96 gpa in high school and i barely cracked the top 20%) |

01.29.13 | chorts we can spoon if u want |
Wolfhorde
01.29.13 | Well, there you go with one of the biggest problems of Western school systems, the discrepancy between the different educational instances. Being good here doesn't mean being good there, at least not without some extra effort. You could have a perfect GPA and your totally fuck up in uni as well.
Actually being able to work analytically and scientifically (no guarantees here, I can only talk for where I live which is central Europe) is mostly more important than grades. |
RosaParks
01.29.13 | Yeah high school was awful. I could never concentrate on school, i had lots of issues. and my school was not there for me at all. Now that I'm in college everything is like 10000000000000000x easier |
Wolfhorde
01.29.13 | lol that video rosa |

01.29.13 | "the main fuck is academic though like seriously i don't get how people manage to have a good time and do well in college it's impossible to balance"
All my friends who are really active socially say they don't waste time much. Between partying (for say a frat) or doing other pledge stuff, going to classes, doing clubs/research/work, and studying, they have no down time to just sort of chill (like on Sputnik, or FB, or reddit).
It's all about what floats your boat, but you might need to turn down chilling with your friends to study, or maybe cut your Sputnik time? In my case, I balance it at the expense of my social life, which is okay because I'm not a partier in the first place |
toxin.
01.29.13 | they're UCLA kids too so they have rigorous academics |
Chortles
01.29.13 | yeah i get what you mean, some people don't like having down time, i definitely do.
my problem is just having a good time while doing well. seems like whenever i finally finish my work
every day, i'd rather just relax by myself and listen to music instead of hang out with friends (like
right now). kind of makes it to where my social life sucks and that i don't ever really have fun but
whatever |
toxin.
01.29.13 | Well in that case, replace frat stuff with chilling on your own? haha, I feel like the great thing about college is you get so much time in the week to just allot however you want. If you wanna chill in your room and listen to music, you should have enough time to do that and study too? That's what I do as well, and I think it suits me well. |

01.29.13 | My girlfriend hates that she left being close to me for a school when she doesn't even enjoy it. It's sucked for her. I just took general credits at a community college while I work and live at home. WAY better. But she's coming home after this year and we're gonna move to the Western Slope and I'm going to get my welding cert. Gonna be a good life.
College sucks. |
Wolfhorde
01.29.13 | Prioritize and stuff. Maybe set up a rough plan if things go a bit South, it's not really big news that your social life is gonna suffer when you do stuff for your career. But well, if "chilling" just means in this sense relaxing and taking a break and that's not enjoyable to do you do something else that's enjoyable and maybe calms you down a bit. |
Chortles
01.29.13 | sound logic wolf. it's just that i do enjoy unwinding after shit's over with a lot, and at the same time i feel like i'm wasting my time at college by doing that y'know. of course college is about my career but i can't help but feel that i'm wasting the 'best four years of my life' by going through the motions and just relaxing when i get the chance
i'm probably contradicting myself hard but yea |
toxin.
01.29.13 | Yeah dude I'm going through the same thing right now. There's a perfect anime for you to watch about college and being active and stuff but you probably wouldn't enjoy it.
I'll say this, though: My friends who are super involved, even if they have less downtime, seem to be enjoying college more than me. I enjoy my time here, but it's nothing shockingly awesome. This might be a function of the fact that I had insane freedom at home (no curfew, had a car, super safe suburban life) so my senior year was way more awesome than my friends, who had tiger moms. So maybe compared to how it was before all this freedom & stuff isn't so great. But I still think they're onto things, just joining activities that interest them.

01.29.13 | chorts did you watch the vid i promise you'll laugh |
Wolfhorde
01.29.13 | "best for years of your life" - big bullshit. That's stuff bitter old people say because their judgement is clouded by their perspective. It's up to you to make shit good, not some objective "best years" or external criteria. Obviously they can help, but if there's no the "proper perspective" you could be Bill Gates and still be bored to shits and think life is sucks. (beware, I'm being hyperbolic)
Also, if you actually feel like you're wasting time I'd advice you to take some critical distance and look at it from all possible angles and evaluate it. |
Chortles
01.29.13 | yee toxin hit the nail on the head there, i'm in basically the same scenario as you. i don't mind how college is going for me, but looking at friends who are super involved, sometimes i can't help but wonder if i'm missing out
gonna watch now rosa i didn't see you post it earlier
wolf you're speaking truth hard. i've been thinking about this a lot really, just gotta decide where i want my life to go y'know |
wacknizzle
