Just got into College!!

[vitinho444]

In post-work time

Yeah i got in, I'm a freshman now in Informatics Engineer.
My average is very low (110 of 200) and i got into those schedules that are for working people. 18-22:30pm... Pretty rough for a 17 year old i think, but its my dream, i hope i can learn new cool stuff and get to know more about this beautiful world.

I'm afraid my time will drop to 0 or even below 0, and i wont enjoy GTA V

I'm still waiting for the freshman hunt, i hope it will be fun, but there's always those jackasses..

Just felt like sharing with you guys, and i hope i can contribute more with knowledge for this community.

Thank you.
Well, it's a 3 year course for a graduation. Then i can get my Master (i think you guys call it like that, between graduation and phD) for more 2 years.
I'm taking night class since my average is low, but in a year i can re-apply for the day class with good grades (i need to own programming for god sake..)
Not sure what to talk about more, do you have any particular question ?

It's really a nice ambient, lots of people talking about parties already.. im not much of a party guy though.. so i just wanna get my "paper" so companies trust my skills more easily.

Congrats!

Thank you

Nope, I get it from there. So since your high school average wasn't that high, you're going to night school, so when you get your college average and it's high you go to the day school, which I presume is better?

[vitinho444]

It's not that it's better.. He's just day course, but it's exactly the same
But i'm not yet that "grown up" to attend to night class you know... and it's harder for me to get used to new life style.

Once im inside college, highschool average is not worth ****, so i can do what i like and get results

Oh okay, gotcha. And very true about the high school thing, haha. Can't wait til I go to college.

Yep, that is pretty much true. I dropped out of high school in my freshman year, had terrible grades, etc. Then fast forward a decade and I go to college and have a 3.9 GPA after 3 years of classes

Also with the Masters, when you get to that stage; don't stop to take a break. Well, may be up to 3 months, but no longer. From past experience, once you take a break, it is hard to get back into it. And in my opinion, a Graduate degree is much easier than an Undergraduate. As you said, it is just 2 years and you know what to expect and by then know what you want to study in.

I had planned to get a PhD, but I took a break ... and well, 9 years later haven't gotten back to it. Because of too many reasons or excuses...
