Just like real life

2019-01-15 03:54:10 UTC  

Honestly even books that tell me stuff I already know can be useful, because I can learn from the way these ideas are presented by people more educated than me

2019-01-15 03:58:59 UTC  

dude I wish I could read as much as you

2019-01-15 03:59:07 UTC  

I'm kind of a slow reader

2019-01-15 03:59:31 UTC  

when I was a kid I read a lot of informative stuff but I got lazy as a teenager

2019-01-15 03:59:44 UTC  

getting into this movement is what got me back into it

2019-01-15 04:01:20 UTC  

@Jacob you did a good job leading the book discussion!

2019-01-15 04:03:05 UTC  

I appreciate that! The most recent one was led by @Nemets, though, so he deserves credit for that one

2019-01-15 04:05:45 UTC  

@Jacob Nemets did great too!

dude I liked working so much more than school

2019-01-15 04:12:54 UTC  

I was working overtime at two Dairy Queens in the Summer

2019-01-15 04:12:57 UTC  

it was kinda fun

2019-01-15 04:13:27 UTC  

I didn't have a lot of time though lol

2019-01-15 04:14:32 UTC  

I've heard the "college is the best time of your life" thing from a lot of people

2019-01-15 04:14:41 UTC  

but that doesn't necessarily reflect how they actually feel

2019-01-15 04:14:48 UTC  

they do seem to be constantly stressed

2019-01-15 04:16:02 UTC  

i hate college

2019-01-15 04:16:11 UTC  

It’s because college is in many cases pleasure island

2019-01-15 04:16:33 UTC  

Only problem is that excitement and pleasure doesn’t equal happiness and life satisfaction

2019-01-15 04:16:52 UTC  

I am so glad I am done. I dread grad school. I wish I didn't have a useless meme degree that requires a lateral move for a masters to actually support a hypoyhetical future family.

2019-01-15 04:17:15 UTC  

What’s the degree

2019-01-15 04:18:00 UTC  

Natural resources mgmt

2019-01-15 04:18:23 UTC  

What are you planning on studying in grad school

2019-01-15 04:19:33 UTC  

Something similar but a bit more science (aka whatever will take me for a fellowship and give me the best deal- I refuse to take loan debt, and have avoided it so far)

2019-01-15 04:21:03 UTC  

@OttoVonBismarck ya I guess college would be pretty fun if you're taking an easy degree and either have massive debt or money from parents

2019-01-15 04:21:10 UTC  

party it up, regret it later

2019-01-15 04:21:17 UTC  

I’m not sure what would logically follow from that but you could try getting an mba

2019-01-15 04:21:36 UTC  

lol I am allergic to business

2019-01-15 04:21:46 UTC  

But thanks for the effort

2019-01-15 04:21:46 UTC  

Yeah stem majors are usually very stressed

2019-01-15 04:22:06 UTC  

I have a computer science major and a communications minor

2019-01-15 04:22:16 UTC  

communications was kinda fun

2019-01-15 04:22:24 UTC  

but now I only have computer science classes left

2019-01-15 04:22:28 UTC  

I bet those communications classes were killer

2019-01-15 04:22:32 UTC  

I'm taking an easy degree(history), and I've got all fees covered by the government. I still hate it though, it's so boring an dull.

2019-01-15 04:23:10 UTC  

Yeah in a lot of cases you’re better off going for a plumbing or electrical apprenticeship

2019-01-15 04:23:42 UTC  

I wish I just took an easier degree lol

2019-01-15 04:23:53 UTC  

not a meme degree, just not something that consumes my life

2019-01-15 04:24:19 UTC  

Computer science graduates from my school only make $49,000 median after one year so it's not like I'm gonna be super rich anyway

2019-01-15 04:24:28 UTC  

Yeah I have a friend doing computer science and it seems pretty difficult. Respect
