>feeling as if this is a wrong interview
>"oh this is just the software part, we will also test your expertise on hardware"
>only electronics-related questions are some shit related to ohm's law, explain how a capacitor works, what is an Arduino and what do the PCB letters mean

Whats some good advice on studying better? Whenever I try and learn a new sibject I just end up feeling so overwhelmed with information

Finished Highschool and I have to apply for my undergraduate soon, but I dont know what I want to do yet... Tell me Anons,
what are you studying
how do you like it
would you study it again
what do you want to do once you have your degree
give general insight about the subject
is there a sufficient demand for it in the future?

why is it so common for smart people to be socially inept?

>study science
>going to graduate school to get my PhD
>start thinking about old friends from high school
>find out they have no prospects in their life while I'm on track to get a PhD in a science/engineering field
>look up a smart, but total asshole of a guy I knew in high school who I was sure was on his way to being a burnout
>he's actually successful
>he studied engineering then ditched it to trade stocks
>he's making at MINUMUM $130K RIGHT NOW at 23 years old while I stress everyday working in a lab hoping to some day make that much.

Daily reminder if you are not 100% committed to science, back out now. There are much much much easier ways to make money with your smarts. Do engineering. Do CS or some applied math. Collect the skills. Move on. Don't linger here unless you absolutely fucking love it.

how do i drop the philosophical questions at the door and just do my maths in peace?

>fully aware I'm a brainlet
>fully aware of my procrastination
>fully aware of all the work I have to do
>fully aware of the shit I'll be in if I don't preform good
>fully aware that I have no idea where I want to be in five years
>still spend day after day wasting my time

Anon's, how do you fix this shit.

How do I officially stop being a brainlet?

>mfw I have read so many pseudoscientific articles that I've started to believe them
How does one argue against this shit?

Did anyone here feel overwhelmed in first year, but were able to manage everything, including school and health, during upper years? Success stories?

Can somebody explain me how precession works?
