Man sensie was so annoying. But it was really amazing how similar that book was to modern time, in USA no less. I saw a bit myself in sensei and boy am I glad to have overcome those nasty thought patterns. The book I felt was limited by its original form being written for a newspaper. But sensei was just like so many here on 4chan: depressed, anxious, covertly narcissistic,avoidant ruminators, except he managed to not be tfwnogf because arranged marriage or whatever

Badass faculty. Get to watch Dan Dennett putter about and several of my professors (not an art student) have had their work in the MoMA. The SJW stuff has reached a hilarious extreme, especially when it clashes with the Hillel foundation and the campus media is nothing but claims of chauvinism on one side and anti-semitism on the other. I get to run around to other campuses and fuck girls from Harvard and MIT because the guys there who aren't athletes are huge betas. Don't even get me started on Welleslely girls.

Too progressive, I can see the poison of identity politics seeping into the school paper and English department. It annoys me to see superfluous feminism essay questions constantly, or this IDIOTIC question of "safe space".

People shouldn't be coddled, they should be questioned and challenged, that's the POINT of an academy. Instead, these unbelievable pussies insist on the dogma of objective truth, and of a dichotomy wherein ANY opponent is inherently immoral.

Just started my third gap year. I am going on my Grand Tour of Europe. Going to interrail for 3-4 months. Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Florence, Milan, Nice, Cannes, Marseilles, Montpellier, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, London, Dublin. It's going to be a blast. I'll be reading non-stop, and becoming more patrician than anyone attending universities short of Oxbridge/Ivy meme. Literary lifestyle, bitcheeez

Actually am having considerable existential angst as to what to study at uni. Can choose anything due to awesome grades. Yearning for philosophy but scared at future of vending burgers or retail

To be fair the teaching staff are brilliant and the tutorial system is great as well. That's pretty much all it has going for it, though. Nine contact hours a week and an essay a fortnight is nowhere near enough for £27k/year. It also annoys me that no one here seems to take it seriously. Fair, that's kind of what you expect from students -- but at a top 3 institution? Even the professors don't seem to take their lectures or seminars seriously. For two courses (Milton and Modernism), I ended up just watching the lectures on OYC and taking my notes from there instead of from my own classes because the OYC ones are so much more more focused.

No college degree really gurantees you a job, even the most focused stem degrees will only help get your foot in the door, honestly your internship will make the most difference.

based/10

Dude don't worry so much about your undergrad major; if your grades are good, you can use the 4 years to focus and refocus your interests, and go to grad school for almost anything you want, regardless of your undergrad career (most social sciences, law, and philosophy will all be wide open to you no matter what you majored in). The fact that you're reading the Brothers K for fun suggests that you have enough interest of your own in real literature that you'll already be better off than the thousands of people in school who have nothing to show for their degrees but the classwork they did.

Treat college as an opportunity to grow and find new things, and to talk with academic professionals. Befriend professors and cultivate your own development as a person; the grades or the major won't matter within a year or two of getting a job/going to grad school, so don't sweat them too much.

Personally I switched majors halfway through college, and ended up wishing I could switch again; I got a degree in something that frankly I'm not that interested in, as I found out in the end. But I think college was infinitely more valuable to me not academically, but personally and socially; the connections I made leave the job market wide open to me, and the social environment of my school helped me grow tremendously as a person.

Oxford doesn't really offer this master's degree, I kind of fabricated it myself. Officially I'm studying European history after 1500, but I've chosen only courses of political science (e.g. Theory of international relations, etc), and my master's thesis is on the diplomatic initiatives of the UK towards the Axis powers.

Professors would rather be teaching in another university. For many students, CSULB was their safety school, or at best, third choice.

>Local community college. Not worth naming.
>It's complicated. I went to this same college for a short time just after graduating from high school and it wasn't long before I lost interest. I wasn't really dumb at the time, I was just lazy and foolish. I was 18 biologically, but perhaps 13 mentally. There were no chances of me ever being able to actually pay for college; I had to get a grant at the time and two semesters of extreme carelessness cost me that luxury. I left knowing that I was well-fucked academically.

I worked in a factory for a while. I hated it intensely, but it was the only work I could get at the time. My mom and stepdad had both worked there for years and they helped me to get hired. I made air conditioner parts in the hottest building I believe I'll ever set foot in. The sun certainly seems hotter in Alabama.

After a while in the hotbox, a friend helped me get some slightly better-paying work. I worked in a grocery store giving out samples. It wasn't a proud job, but I enjoyed it mostly. At the end of the day, it was little more than a sales job with a demonstrative flair to it. I got paid to feed microwavable food to ornery old men and the comically obese. I did this for over three years, playing music a bit, reading here and there, and writing a little when I was inspired.

I had to get another job in another awful factory earlier this year. Though I liked my old job, I was starting to have a lot of increasingly terrible issues regarding management and the company I worked for was slowly going under so I knew it was time to go. So here I am, doing something I swore I would never do again. At least I'm going to college again on what money I've saved up, but balancing it with this schedule is pushing me to my limits. I'm trying to get better at managing time, but it's a kind of constant struggle. I just feel like I wake up, barely take a shower, eat an apple or something while driving, go to school for a few hours, work until 11 at night, study/read, sleep a few hours, and then start over the next day. I think if I can adapt to having little to no free time or go back to working part-time again I'll be okay, but right now I'm struggling to find time to do anything but work. I'm thankful that this week has been somewhat slow at least. I'm doing much better than before. Hopefully I'll be at an actual university soon enough. I really have an entirely different attitude towards it this time around, though I'm still not really certain which direction to go in. I think at this point I just want the satisfaction of knowing I finished this ordeal. I'm just terrified of running out of money, which is inevitable.

I feel like a piece of shit for writing all this in a thread where all you have to do is fucking list your college, how you like it, and your favorite book, but I just don't really have anyone to talk to these days and I feel a little better having typed it anyway.
