>5. Who are you?
I fight to be a better person everyday, and not be depressed/suicidal ever again. Started getting /fit/ and even though I'm still DYEL the numbers motivate me when I feel hopeless, because weights don't lie.
According to psychiatrists specialized in autism I have light asperger. Whatever, most of 4chan probably qualifies too.
I am very excited about next year (going to another uni for applied mathematics in september, I'll have loads of probability).
I think I'm reasonably smart when I don't shoot myself in the foot with self hatred. Don't care if it sounds like bragging, but 6 months ago automata theory prof (also head of CS department) stopped me after class to tell me to hit him up to arrange funding if by chance I want to do a PhD.

>6. University?

>ME
Two thirds of the students were 100% in it for the starting salary. Mostly chill normies. Complete sausage fest, 90% guys.

>Math/CS
Basically no one has any idea what they want to do after they graduate, except the ones who want to become high school teachers. More girls than I expected (maybe 40%) but most are crazy and/or ugly. Irrelevant uni (looking at ARWU, it's top 300 overall, top 200 in math)

>Math
Most want to become high school teachers. A handful want to get into research or engineering (some double majored math/physics, I just took more math courses). 90% friendly normies. Only university in my country, invisible in international rankings (math lab has 4 active published profs). We're very small (about 3K students) so we rely on partnerships and prof exchange programs with other universities to fill our gaps (for instance we don't have the ressources for a medical school so we have a transfer program with another uni to ship all our students). Which leads us to...

>Applied math
Don't know how it'll be, but have to transfer for make benefit glorious nation because I'm reaching the limits of what my uni can do. Next uni is top 50 global / top 25 science / top 10 math.
