Okay so, I officially committed to a college today. I'll be going there in the fall. A majority of my knowledge about college comes from stuff that I've seen in TV shows, movies and have heard from random people. For those of you who are actually enrolled in a university right now, how is it like and what should I expect?

The major/minor thing is a little different in Germany. There's a lot more flexibility, so that's good. I've always wanted to see if I could do cinematography on the side, but recently I've been starting to take the idea very seriously and have really been considering making it my focus.


you could do like a double major in like sociology or anthropology or something and film, which can probably help do something maybe

Me: PJ should study what interests him and not listen to the Internet strangers with crazy agendas who try to tell him exactly what his college experience will be like.

for someone who's life experience effectively amounts to "i'm a WASP from new england who got bankrolled through college" it's pretty shocking how much peter thinks he understands about the life experience of others, or life experience outside of any bubble really

wait, who am i kidding, no it's not


What's wrong with you lol


i'm not as normal and cool and well-adjusted as you, clearly


Agreed, judging by your volcanic eruption of rage.

I heard it's good to go by "Major in something that you'll get good money in, minor in something you love" but idk how well that works


Majoring in something that will make you money doesn't work if you don't enjoy your major, potentially get bad grades because of how much you don't enjoy your major, and then hate your 9-to-5.

Don't major in art or dance or film or any of that crap.


I'm wondering what you guys think of this because I'm actually considering majoring in film as weird as that is.

I actually don't know enough about the fields associated with these majors to say it's a bad idea.

I was using that solid life advice to make fun of him for being home schooled.


went over my head


That OP. Look at the level anxiety. "I've only learned from movies and tv and I'd like to know is it all hookers and cocaine or will there be actual learning as well?"

>home schooling

if you had told me 2 years ago that peter would become the requisite "look at how much more NORMAL and COOL i am than everyone else!" poster i would've laughed in your face


I think we all saw it coming to be honest.


i mean, it makes sense from any socially stunted person who finally puts it together, it's just that normally people do this when they're like 19 and think better of it by the time they're his age

I feel bad for anyone that goes from homeschooling to college, because that makes the transition into that lifestyle way harder imo
