    @TedSchmosby Electronic Media Production, basically for doing AV work. Switched to software development after my capstone class killed any lingering love I had for it.

    Anyone have experience with SNHU? I'm considering taking classes online and they have some super reasonable prices and it looks like a legit university instead of something like Phoenix or DeVry.

    I have a few essays to write over the next few days. Starting is always the hardest part. I have all these notes jotted down of things I want to say, but I'm a real stickler for writing chronologically, and so I mull over the first paragraph for way too long

    the emotional toll that college has had and does put on me (the experience as a whole) is like 10x harder than the work. i hope I'll look back and see that the experience, though difficult, molded me into a better being.

    my ratio of time spent fucking around to time spent working in undergrad was much higher compared to now and i'm still having trouble finishing stuff on time, i think it's a difference of no longer having a class each semester that was a joke/required outside of major class vs now where it's four intense in major classes

    I absolutely loved college though; socially and academically I had an amazing time. Every time I go back to campus a flood of memories comes back to me. Now doing a Masters program to help me get out of my current job path; even doing a 2 page paper was a struggle(working full time as well)

    What I miss the most about college is all the talks and panels and lectures outside of classes. Even tho I just went to them and never participated I still felt so involved and informed. Now I feel like I'm getting more ignorant everyday. there were so many discussions and panels with so many diverse issues and all kinds of different ppl and there just isn't that where I am now.

    "this homework is very simple, just copy and paste from the notes you took*"


    *notes are also literally direct from the textbook

    i have a midterm on monday that is no calculators and the description of what it's on is incredibly vague.

    wtf, my professor just gave a pop quiz in the middle of notes; it was totally unfair because some people had their notes out and their computer/the textbook and he had no problem with that...

    I really miss the days of high school where the whole term wasn't laid out on the syllabus. Some people may like planning ahead like that, but it just makes me feel guilty whenever I feel like I'm suitably caught up and I'm forever in a state of discomfort

    See and I'm the opposite. I put my entire semester into Google Calendar and Wunderlist, then try to stay on top of things!

    Is there a point to paper length requirements? I always wonder why it's an issue if I can say what I need to say in less words. I get not wanting them too long since someone has to read and grade a bunch of papers, but I was just thinking back to hs and some of the awful and redundant papers I wrote just to meet length requirements lol.
