•you receive an email from your professor. it is incomprehensible. it is due at midnight.

•it is time for zoom lecture. the only sound is the vague chewing from the one blackened screen. their camera is off and you hope it's just lunch.

• you end your email with "stay safe". your professor ends their email with "stay healthy". your classmate ends their email with "stay at home". you end your email with "stay alive".

•you try to submit your homework. it has to be in .pdf. form. your computer will only hold files in .doc form. you ask your professor what to do. they do not know what assignment you are talking about.

•the recorded lecture your Professor uploads is just 47 minutes of them looking at the screen. they are breathing very hard and sweating. their eyes cry out for help.

•you download your professors narrated PowerPoint lecture while watching a television show. they tell you to mute your mic.

15 academic things I’ve learned in the first month of college

1. it’s really easy to get behind on your textbook reading, and it’s really easy to not catch back up, just read it 

2. sometimes you will start to nod off in class and your notes become illegible, when this happens, voice record the lecture on your phone, but do not do this all the time 

3. do not skip class to study for another class, it will just come to bite you in the butt later 

4. online assignments are really hard to keep up with, therefore having some type of journal, agenda, or list is crucial 

5. you either benefit from studying with other people or you get absolutely nothing done, figure this out as soon as possible 

6. a quiz in high school may have meant 5-10 questions, but in college a lot of the times it’s just one 

7. reading your notes right after class allows you to review quickly what you learned, so you don’t immediately forget 

8. you cannot study the day before an exam and get the results you want, it doesn’t work like that 

9. making friends in your classes is crucial especially if your notes aren’t as detailed as needed or you want a study partner 

10. do not waste time between classes, it is usually the most productive parts of my day and most of the time prevents me from staying up all night doing homework 

11. keep your laptop with you all the time, along with anything you might even plan on studying 

12. learn how you like to take notes, and learn it quickly, drop/add week is the best time for this 

13. do not underestimate a class or it will no doubt overwhelm you 

14. GO TO OFFICE HOURS 

15. remember that your academic goals are self-defined and that you need not compete or compare to others

A lot of people forget that I’m a Computer Engineer and not a Computer Scientist, which means that I also take classes related to Electrical Engineering. Yay, hardware! 

Made this circuit yesterday for a lab, we didn’t have the foresight to bring a larger breadboard, hence the wire spaghetti rainbow!

Albert Einstein thought pretty highly of her too: 

“In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fräulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began. In the realm of algebra, in which the most gifted mathematicians have been busy for centuries, she discovered methods which have proved of enormous importance in the development of the present-day younger generation of mathematicians.”

Sir Terry Pratchett is a master of the written word but he ain’t shit for the way he trained me to accept dumb naming conventions because i got three missed calls on my phone from Scam Likely and I spent like half a day wondering who I knew named Scam.
