I had some school over the summer and my two closest ''buddies'' were two 19-20 year old girls. Obviously would never hang out with them, but the interaction were pretty fun

Similar situation here, was very good at math/science as teen, had a fucked up MK Ultra life and was basically homeless for years.

I'm going full NEET. I really don't think there is any point anymore in doing anything else. Love math/science but the 10 year hassle to get the same qualifications 25 year olds have is too damn much.

Considered telling people I'm like 18, the awkwardness if people find out actual age will likely be too high. I've heard of people doing this successfully, seriously doubt its worth the awkwardness risk. Heard of people taking wilder risks, I don't even want to hear about it.

Heard of more than a few people who did this, they were constantly on edge of people finding out true age. Some cases were crazy as fuck. Some people just felt they missed out on their normal school life and wanted to relive it, but NEET might be the way to go. Who the hell wants to be around random people that much younger than them anyway?

Don't worry, that perception is all in your head. I don't mind conversing with oldfags--especially since they don't mind me dropping the nigger-word. My only prejudice is in seeing my peers from secondary still attending, not having made much of any progress towards attending a proper uni. Niggas have been doing fuck all all these years.

For someone like you with an IQ of 6 gorillion it shouldn't take that long. Attend your college's Math colloquium and solve a handful of unsolved problems that haven't had much progress made by these midwit fuckers--trival for you. Afterwards, call the head of the Maths department a faggot and tell him to fuck off as he chases after you, begging that you bless the field of Mathematics' womb with the phallus that is your genius. Welcome back, Paul Erdős.

23 year old oldqueer here. Just started attending courses at my local JC since last semester. I hate these Zoomer faggots and their niggerlicious ebonics. Put me in a class with a bunch of Christmas cake hags, or give me a non-brainfried freshman Zoomer who imprints on me and does whatever I tell her to do. A harem of either would suffice. Come every exam, these faggots always exclaim "oh bro, I'm cooked. Need'a finna lock in, fr fr". The guys dress like zesty faggots and the girls dress like cheap whores. The chunky lesbians in-between take up a little bit of both with a streak of hair dye. TikTok and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

26 fag here. Trying to get back to transfer in Spring 2025.
The irony was that it had more to do with me catching onto covid breaking out in Korea mid-December 2019, I shit you not. I took preparation in working in retail and then some to gain experience, getting so much hazard pay of the ass and fixing my life. The only problem was that I was caught between my parents' separation and a potential move.
The only problem was a lack of a proper move, the finances needed to attenuate for it, and also trying to get a job, particularly remote or online, while attending classes. My mother found an offer and we're about to visit the campus this following Sunday.
My only gripe is that aside from knowing what I would need to know for Math up to Calculus, particularly with Rational Trig functions, knowing what path I need for cybersecurity via leetcode, knowing where my writing skills stood in (since everyone fucking *loves* to comment on that irl), and knowing what trade I could undertake in (I am hoping to join the IBEW to do an electrician trade).

It's weird being so young compared to most of you here. But I feel like more of the burden is on me to make things right. If it had been known that I needed to Arrid+Mitchummax to repel niggers, then by all means I would've done so eventually.

You have to also take into account of the Covid vaccine mandates that affected institutions from 2021-2023. If by chance you happened to be enrolled and happen to fill in a form for a religious exemption or not and worst case scenario it gets declined, you would have also been vetoed by the school system (depending on which you enroll and what public/private/state program it falls under) and have been prevented from going back because you failed to take a vaccine, even AFTER you filled in your request for a religious exemption.

Forgive my shitty spelling as I'm just all over the place tonight. I'm actually sending emails to admissions and FAFSA as I speak regarding my transfer.

Granted, it may vary across country and state for /sci/. But here in the states, a lot of variables can vary and sure, you can argue I'm reading too much into it, but I'm waiting until I can call someone's kettle as the pot fucking black until I say otherwise.

When did you start? I'm 23 and just started college, and I'm a little demoralized by the fact that it's gonna take a while to transfer to a proper uni, and even longer to complete my education entirely. I'm doing the most I can to get through the major-specific requisites for transferring--like taking courses over the Summer--but it's the general ed filler bullshit I have to complete which rustles my jimmies. There's also the fact that I lost a semester's worth of potential progress thanks to waitlist bullshit--I could've gotten a spot in any of the courses, but a series of poor choices and failure to look ahead and cut my losses lead to me getting fuck all. Now I'm stuck simply taking a few gen ed courses.

Do students in the same department actually hang out with each other? I've attended a few meetings of my college's Math colloquium for extra credit--most of it went over my head--and I just lined my pockets with the snacks provided and fucked off. There've also been a few instances where I've been invited to study together (not exclusive to my major), though I politely decline.

Am I missing out? It's certainly beneficial if there's someone there who knows their shit better than you, but I always get asked by the niggas that don't know what the fuck's going on in lecture. I've made friends with at least one Math senpai, but I just wish he was a cute girl (female).

I started at 26 originally. You just need to get through these first couple years of UG with the closest to a 4.0 you can muster and transfer somewhere respected like you said.

Additionally, GRAD students tend to hang out with each other. Being a research bitch like we are involves going to a lot of events and conferences with those in similar programs (forced to interact basically), and you share more or less the same experiences.
We bitch about the UG classes we have to teach, talk about our research, etc.

Literally me. 31 years old and I signed up for a full time semester at the only decent school within driving distance. I haven't had a math class in 12 years yet I decided to take discrete math and stochastic processes.
I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Stochastics isn't that bad, but discrete math- particularly formal logic and set theory, is absolutely mind numbing. I have no other choices though. I just need to break through.

I do not disagree necessarily, but it is seems to be the norm to enter a PhD program around 23 or so, so the average finish time is 5 years or so, so I was suggesting 28 seems to be a typical finish time. I'm sure we old people drive the mean up though.

The stochastics professor barely uses the book and does all his lectures with handmade problems and examples. He also lets us see previous tests before we take an exam. The discrete math professor does pretty much the opposite but I have yet to take the first test so I don't know how hard it's going to be. If it's anything like the homework it's going to be tough.
