When I first started I was really into my degree wanted to do a possible masters and research AI and machine learning. I was really into math physics and coding. Would always read the source material before lectures and so every question possible.
It died about 2 years later after the recent winter break I lost all motivation because I thought what was the point if I’m just going to end up alone in the end, putting all this extra work when I look like a complete joke, an ethnic Manlet with a micro penis. I was jus coping by having good grades. This year was the worst because I just stopped going to class and had to drop a bunch.
End goal is to just finish my degreee and work a shitty coding job. GPA is around 3.3 since I dropped all courses I’m failing before dead line, was a 3.8 before lol. Hopefully in 3 years with a internship in that time.
Also you are doing a math major correct? I’d suggest minoring in stats/comp sci and you can get a data analyst job easily. Doing a masters is up to you but is hefty. Some of the courses are crazy hard like advanced combinatorics and differential topology (they have a 35% pass rate at my uni) and you are going to have to dedicate half your day to studying.
Yeah, it's crazy how hopeful people would be on their first week of university then they get a reality check later on. University isn't usually for the lazies. Oh yeah, machine learning is becoming more popular in maths courses too, not only CS or CE.
I've started university with wanting to do a double degree in Electrical Engineering Physics (had good grades from school), and then I was like naw in the first semester, failed some of the subjects, and boggled down into doing maths (and realized that it was better for me).
Yeah it's hard find to motivation in uni, especially if you don't have much friends or anything and heck even being in a relationship could probably re-ignite your flames to do shit.
Sounds like it's best to take your time, if you want to finish your degree, and anyways do you have a back-up option or courses you want to do if CE doesn't pan or workout?
My back-up option is Nursing or IT, I could fill in some of them with a maths minor.
Yes, I'm planning to minor in computer science anyways. I'm not sure if I want to do a masters, but I need to maintain 70%+ average this year, and next year. It's getting tiresome, I feel like I just want to work, but at the same time, I enjoy learning new shit because its stimulating to me.
Yeah, I'll be doing topology next year, I've already done the subjects required for that course. I could actually do topology now, If I want.
@idkwattodowithlife
yeah go Stats, that's easiest and in more demand, be an actuary, analyst etc
...or applied math
in Ph.D. track applied math I may not have to screw with differential topology (I HATE topology)
but you will definitely be doing
... numerical analysis (obviously)
... PDEs (obviously)
... complex analysis
... stochastic shit (applied prob and shit)
anything you know in CS is a tremendous help
chances are you'd be modeling blood flow (Navier-Stokes stuff, this is for medical applications), combinatorial optimization (if that's your thing, I hate that too)
But learn real analysis and lebesgue integration like the back of your hand, bang your head against the wall/desk/chair doing an applied math project and godspeed!
Yeah stats is a back-up major for me then it's IT and Nursing. I've completed one stats unit.
Are you doing a maths major yourself?
I'm on the pure maths track. My reasoning for not doing applied maths is because I can't be bothered with the whole modelling thing. I prefer abstract maths.
I've attempted real analysis and complex analysis, but failed both of them. Came close to passing complex analysis. I'm re-doing real analysis this semster, if i pass that and since I've already passed linear algebra, then I'd be eligible to do functional analysis.
I should've studied IT or Nursing, but muh 4-inch egotistical wants to do the harder stuff lol.
Anyways what's the weighted exam and assignments/tests like for you guys? All of my courses are worth 80% exam and 20% assignments/tests lol.
