Anyone actually miss being in college

Because you were a student and learning cool things in class? srs

Brb learning chemistry, differential equations, linear algebra, combinatorics, compiler design, machine learning, economics

Brb staying up late reading textbooks and working on problems sets

Brb working on course projects like building an operating system

Learning stuff can give the biggest dopamine hits

Sometimes I check out ocw.mit.edu or edx, but its just not the same

Those were the days

Mostly miss the flexibility of setting my own class schedule. I liked to max out classes on M/W or T/Thur, set aside a day to study, and then spend the rest of the week coolin or working easy ass jobs

I did that too in my second half

Having like 8 hours of lecture all back to back was brutal though

Sort of. I went back to school to finish my degree a few months before covid happened, so all my classes were online. Didn't get a whole lot of in-class time or converse with any wimmens and dumb sluts. I have taken several classes in the past but it would have been nice to socialize on campus and in-class instead of sitting at my computer for hours each day, when I was a part-time student again... ffs.

I enjoyed the social aspect too, but when I think back the stuff in the OP is what I remember the most

Online learning is ass

Really feel bad for undergrad students during the pandemic, they really got shafted

Uni was the best man. I’d surrender half a centimeter in height to start over again as a freshman.

I'd give almost anything up to go back in time and redo srs

Not that I have any regrets, just to experience it again

Yeah, except I wish I went to a top undergrad and worked with maturity and discipline to create stronger roots instead of thinking of youthful energy only. I do not know if I could have gotten into Harvard, but I could have gone to somewhere with a similar amount of traction.

So much feels man. I think about uni at least once a week. Fuark. I only live a few miles from my uni so I take a walk there frequently to admire the beauty of the campus and the new crop of sloots. Makes me kinda depressed but I can’t help myself.

You mean you wish you could go back to high school work harder?

Don't regret your past, you did what you did for a reason

Same here, every now and then I'll visit campus and walk around

Just seeing the buildings I had classes in, the dorms, walking on the same pathways I did as a student....the feels are indescribable

It's like I went back into a time capsule, and I'm running to my next class again, wishing I had more time on that project, thinking about that party this weekend

No, I had perfect scores and other stuff. I did not apply to some because of the price, but it would have been worth paying for certain names.

Nah, I was such a loser in my undergrad and barely got laid. Only turned into a mega slayer in my mid-20s so I wouldn't go back.

loved the social aspect of it and meeting cool, different people.

Also having discussions and learning topics on things you're interested in.

Those good ol' days of being young, optimistic and curious about the world. There's a certain freedom of mind in having this naivete.

I’m grateful that I genuinely don’t miss undergrad. I had sort of a weird experience since my girlfriend (at the time) was a year younger and my sister went to the same college as me but she was 5 years my junior so I pretty much partied at least twice a semester at my college with fraternity brothers (some younger, some in grad school, some settled in the area) or my sisters sorority sisters for like seven years. I was still in law school until my sisters senior year and me still being in “school,” made it so that it didn’t feel creepy at any point, and plenty of juniors/seniors dated the law students (everything pretty much shut down for her senior year for Covid). I genuinely feel “satisfied” and don’t even think about it anymore.

Cannot relate with this mindset at all, my fire never died

Never settled, always hungry, always pushing, always learning

Don't make sense bro, why reach the playoffs then settle?

Think about it bro, you trained yourself to sell your time

Who's buying? Who's flying? Who's dying? Who's crying?

You ever seen a murder? You ever felt the pain of hunger?

Landlord threatened cops bro, she made my girl cry

I put up that eviction notice like your college degree

I'm on a phucking mission bro
