College Class 2018

<p>I’m going to be an Animal Science major next year, but for now I’m Pre-Science. It’s cool that a lot of you guys are pre-law, though! Was it something you were always interested in going in, or did certain classes or seminars point you in that direction? </p>

<p>And I think that first quarter/semester is a bit of a transitional period for many students. Don’t let this marking period define you, because it doesn’t. As someone who’s been on both sides of the spectrum in high school (mostly 4.0’s freshman through junior year, rocked a 2.9 first semester senior year) I know how it feels. You’ve got plenty of time to bounce back. </p>

<p>@preamble1776‌ Yep! I studied from 5pm-6am for my 9am logic final, realized it was 6am and was too paranoid I’d sleep through an alarm to get to sleep, so I switched to nocturnal mode for today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Waking up at 6:00-7:00pm and going to bed at 11am-12pm. IMO, it really helps with cramming; you spend 6 hours reading the info and walk right into the test as opposed to spending 6 hours reading, 7-9 sleeping, and then going in somewhat cold.</p>

<p>Wait, do most people not declare their major until sophomore year? I was confused a bit too @TinnyT‌.</p>

<p>Double majoring in Political Science and Economics!</p>

<p>SMH at those “bad” grades… I think I like barely passed my classes this semester. I never had top grades, so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining, especially considering where I go to school.</p>

<p>Yeahh, I have some pre-reqs to complete (at a 3.0+ average), then I have to submit an application for the major. I think, unless I want to murder myself, that I will take until the end of sophomore year to finish the pre-reqs. All assuming that I don’t fail. I’m thinking CS at this point. </p>

<p>I am completely finished with the semester, but my brain still needs to figure that out. I keep thinking about what I have to do, and then I stop myself and realize that I actually don’t have anything to do until after the new year. </p>

<p>It’s weird to think how busy I was for 15 weeks, and suddenly, I don’t have to worry about anything. </p>

<p>Oh, and I’m thinking of majoring in secondary education. I always had a knack for English, so I may specialize in English. </p>

<p>My school doesn’t let students declare their majors until spring of their sophomore year. </p>

<p>System.out.println(“I’m a Comp-Sci major”);</p>

<p>My first semester went perfectly and I made alot of new friends/had time to join an intramural football team :slight_smile:
My classes:
MAE111 Intro to computation tools - A
Calculus B - A
General Chemistry - A
Honors English - A
Joke Freshman class - A</p>

<p>Now to die this spring… What I will be taking:
Calculus C
Linear algebra
Principles of aeronautics and astronautics
Physics 1 with calculus
Engineering economy </p>

<p>Anybody want to help me out this spring haha… no seriously, I’m going to die lol </p>

<p>@preamble1776‌ Sorry that was my convoluted way of asking “what’s your major or possible major, if you know it.” </p>

<p>@Coriander23‌ Law is a childhood dream that I realized could become a reality despite opposition from outside influences (like my family).<br>
@Vctory‌ Most people usually do declare sophomore year, but I figured this is CC and most people here tend to have their stuff together lol so I figured I’d ask. </p>

<p>On my floor, there are a whole bunch of comp sci majors and along with giving each other a hand with homework and studying, we also insult each other with code and it’s fabulous</p>

you’ll be fine, my schedule this semester was very similar.</p>

<p>Physics 1: not too bad because most of it is intuitive and there are a lot of resources out there like flipping physics and MIT OCW</p>

<p>Calculus C (I’m assuming multivariable): difficult if you can’t visualize, but there’s also an abundance of resources like MIT OCW and integralcalc on youtube</p>

<p>Engineering Economy: pretty easy course. if you understand he first unit really well then the rest is just applying those basic concepts to more complex methods of analysis.</p>

<p>Principles of aeronautics: Sounds similar to an attendance class I had this semester.</p>

<p>Linear algebra is similar to calculus lots of resources.</p>

<p>Oh I am a Political Science major, Religious Studies minor.
(read: I am an unemployment major, unemployment minor) </p>

<p>Lol @ unemployment major. You could always drop out and audition for The Voice. </p>

<p>Religious Studies is only a minor at my school - if it was a major, I’d double major in it with Poli Sci. The department has a lot of courses focused on religion in politics, like the Middle Eastern conflict, Fundamental Christianity & Conservatism, etc. </p>

<p>And my singing voice sounds a lot like how a cat would react if you decided to just start swinging it around by its tail. </p>

<p>Religious studies sounds interesting. I almost took a course next semester called Intro to Biblical Literature. And our new president’s husband teaching religion courses and he’s going to become a tenured professor, so it will be fun to see what he’s able to bring. </p>

<p>I have to take a year of Theology. My inner atheist is hoping they are easy.</p>

<p>I personally find religion fascinating - especially religious interpretations of mortality. There’s also an entire division of Religious Studies dedicated to film - like the evolution of Jesus on the big screen; a lot of people are really into that type of stuff. </p>

<p>I also really like reading religious texts. I’m taking two religious studies courses next semester - one on the Middle Eastern conflict around Jerusalem and another on the New Testament. I’m really excited. </p>

<p>I really want to take a religious studies course. My campus doesn’t offer them, though. When I transfer in the next year and a half, I might take one at that campus.</p>

<p>I visited some of my old high school teachers today. Being in that building reminded me of how much more I like college compared to high school. I hated being stuck in that building for seven hours a day. I know that when I get a job, I will have to be in the same building for eight hours a day, but hopefully, I’ll be doing something that I like. </p>

<p>Also, the maturity levels between high school students and college students is so different. I can confidently say that I don’t miss high school at all. </p>
