MacLovin Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Class Selection: Political Science Major. Game Time: 4 years. 8 semesters. Problems: Fucking Chem 101, and really bad scheduling. So I have this amount of work given to me to gain experience. However, my time in each "class" or "stage" is about 1.5 hours. I'm out about 13 hours a day, and the transit [Fuck going public transit here. All the damn smog.] from home to college is about 4 hours. This leaves me about 9 hours of time to eat, sleep, and work. My caffeine tolerance is at the point of freaking red bull not being enough. In addition, my social group consists of either nice people, or extroverted drunks.

Excellen Browning Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There's no shame in dropping a class or two to make life liveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Try and see if your class has a study group, I know it takes time, but when I had my chem class we were all failing and then we all got together and studied and I ended up with a B. If that won't work drop the class because it is not worth the stress if you know you will fail. As to friends a lot of kids love to drink during collage and it is best to just not do that and learn from their mistakes, because while it's fine to have fun if it interferes with the rest of your life it is not a good thing and I would just hang out more with the nice people and not the drunks, but I have an alcoholic in my family and have seen and experienced the pain of too much to drink.

Roflolxp54 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It may be better to cut your losses and drop a class or two to make it more bearable. Try those classes again next semester or choose different courses. Do not overload yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) why does a poly sci major need to take chem 101? also, pretty shitty that you commute. anyway, as others have said, ain't no shame in dropping classes yo Edited November 19, 2014 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLovin Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 if I drop a class, I fail the semester. I'm in the Philippines. :?: Study groups don't really exist here, and I don't speak the local languuage past a toddlers level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 if there's no official study group there's always forming one with friends trying to communicate in the local language with native speakers is a good way to learn the local language if you treat gen chem like doing simple algebra and shove things into equations pertaining to the thing you want to solve for it'll be a lot easier I can't speak for any higher level chem though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 In addition, my social group consists of either nice people, or extroverted drunks. Even though I'm already finished with college... IN BLUE: Same here, but add in some annoying nuisances who think they're better; but in fact they get trumped in classes/recitation/quizzes.

MacLovin Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I already took biology in my first sem. And fuck memorizing for minor classes when my major involves heavy memorization of the Philippine Constitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
