The Sleepless Engineer vs. the Hypocritical Professors

[Pandaman1911]

College? Hard work? Who ever would have thought it?! What nerve those professors have to actually make you work for your degree.

be careful, truth like that might get you a warning on This website.

Cheery as ever, Arluza? Good to know.




On topic, it's just basically torture testing you. If you can survive this, man, you can survive pretty much anything the real world can throw at you. What you're going through now is a simulation of the worst it can get out there. The hardest it can be. So if you make it through this, you know that whatever the world throws at you, you'll be unstoppable. I mean, barring any physical ailment, of course. Like if you got your head cut off, that's... a little beyond the help of good schooling.

I'm just a film student at uni and the past week or so I've been getting some absurd amounts of work, mostly regarding the studying of endless tedious facts about the industry. I had a professor hand out what must of been over 60 pages worth of articles he found the first night of class in addition to 6 websites that he wants us to read up on daily. I don't think they even realize how much they're dolling out sometimes or how students have jobs and club organization obligations.

I've found what helps me a lot is meditating. Here's the website I used, I'd say do it for at least 15-20 minutes each day.

Once you weather the really tough BS though you get to a point where things become mildly enjoyable.

will agree with this though, at some point it feels like your classes dropped a damn anvil on your head, and you spend weeks lifting that damn thing off of yourself, but if you roll with it day and night and kick it in the ass, it actually gets enjoyable by the end of the semester knowing you can plow that homework like a boss and pass the class (considering i am barely holding a 3.0 GPA right now though i don't have the most room to tout about)
