I study at Princeton. I'm currently reading Paradise Lost and the Iliad for classes, I think I'm going to be an English major. Recently I haven't been very motivated to do my class readings and was reading This Side of Paradise instead though.

Currently reading House of Leaves. I study chemical engineering at Northwestern.

I wanted to study english, but my dad was pissed about that. I'm a senior now, so it's too late to change at this point.

Undergrad in Linguistics, now I'm doing a master's in Computational Ling so I can actually get a job. I feel like it's really helping me become more well-rounded, I'm still a humanities type of person at heart but it turns out STEM stuff can actually be pretty interesting too.

If it's less than an ounce do you get a lighter penalty or something?

[Anonymous No.11874298]

>>11874288
The penal codes will have different weight ranges giving different levels of misdemeanors or felony charges. So it'll be like 1-17 grams and 18-200 grams, and 200-1000 grams. But the issue was that the indictment didn't specify the definition of the meth, and so the pure meth measurement was 18 (even though there was like 40 grams of dirty meth) and the indictment charged 28-200 grams.

I go to Harvard and someone at an event I was at recently convinced me to actually come to 4chan. I have to say, it's a pretty riveting experience: there's all these different threads about all these different things, but I'm hesitant to take any of them seriously because I have no idea who's writing them and if they have any idea of what they're talking about. Some of them are relevant to what I'm currently reading right now, which is nothing.

Austin community college; reading portable jung, studying philosophy.

Don’t want to say what college I go to but needless to say it’s a generic “flagship” state university (out of state is expensive and I’m an accounting major so it’s not like it matters too much as long as I pass the CPA eventually)

depends on what want to do i guess, EE is much more versatile in some ways as its really easy to go into embedded programming and from there go towards computer science stuff.

Many of my MechE friends did opt for a masters in mechatronics though. Stuff like what masters you take and elective courses is really important for specialization.

But if you thinks its more fun go for it, hard and boring is a terrible combination and it will be infinity easier to graduate if you think the courses are interesting. Especially the heavy calculation courses.

I was a really lazy, ungrateful, and altogether horrible student. I was wasting my parent's money and really had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I only went to college so I could run, and only went into engineering because I was good at math. I'm happy I dropped out though, working and living on my own for a while helped me put things into perspective. I hope you don't find it all bad, there are still some nice people there and it's cool being so close to the city.
