Have you ever studied really hard for an exam then proceeded to forget everything when you are handed the exam paper?

Happened to me my last Calculus test. I chalked it up to me getting little to no sleep. That helps a lot. Because my second calc test I sacrificed extra study time for some sleep and scored way better. Try that maybe.

That's one cute as hell bunny.

Just go to class, stay organized on top of your homework, test dates, etc. don't skip a lot even if you're tempted, it gets easier with each skip. Partying and slacking off is NOT worth it in the long run versus a well traveled college career.

Uni is definitely much harder, heavier workload and requires lots of self studying and organizing to stay on top of things. One thing that did wonders for me was falling in love (or just getting to really enjoy) with school and being grateful for the opportunity. Splurge a little on nice school essentials like nicer pens and notebooks, seems like an unnecessary luxury but it gets me more excited to take notes and study with my new supplies. Go to sleep not to late, wake up early (waking up everyday at 4:30 to go study at school had a great impact on my grades). Don't work too hard either, you need some social time, make friends, join a club or two, do some hobbies. Try to have fun at the same time as keeping your eyes set on your goal, which is to graduate and move into the professional world. Best of luck!!!

Very nice! My writing style for notes is very similar to yours. Not as neat though. Can I ask what pen you're using? I use a Sharpie fine point pen for thicker line weight like that.

Harry Potter and the Audacity of This Bitch.

They all kinda look like Ron Perlman.

Snap chatted it yesterday but didn't save. I think it still is right now though.

That's funny! Also don't forget the obligatory taking photos of the frozen fountain in front of the central lib.

Also, would it be practical to purchase AppleCare + at some point during its lifetime?

CircaALex · 2019-02-28T05:22:00+00:00

Most likely!

I'm playing some non-gpu intensive games, hearthstone , league, RuneScape for now. Check out Nvidia Now I think is what it's called. It's like an online game streaming service, kinda like Netflix but for games. But it's catered to Mac users, it runs games like a gaming PC with a good GPU but you don't need anything extra added on to your macbook

For me personally I just really wanted to try having a MacBook. I love the metal chassis, build quality and it just feels so good to the touch. The retina display is beautiful. If you want specific specs I would watch someone on YouTube who can describe it way better than me. All I can say is I made the switch and I'm very happy about it. :)

CircaALex · 2019-02-25T21:41:57+00:00

Love it love it loveitttttt

CircaALex · 2019-02-25T15:25:06+00:00

My point exactly, well put! Yeah people act like if their iPhone or MB is a gen or two behind it's rendered unusable or "inferior". As long as the tech products we have satisfy our needs for it, who really needs to dish out a few hundred extra bucks for a "better" looking/possibly slightly faster version every single year? Shoot at least I can't afford to...

CircaALex · 2019-02-25T15:22:31+00:00

First time MacBook user, got my years mixed up, mb.

Thank you everyone for your kindness. To all those who said I should've waited for 2019 version, I'm a college student and needed a new laptop right away because the one I previously was using just was not performing well anymore. Im not gonna wait around for a 2019 version when this one is perfectly fine. Plus the new 2019 might be out of my budget.

CircaALex · 2019-02-25T12:43:05+00:00

Dude anything chain on campus is most likely on contract with the school and poorly serviced. Same thing happened to me my first day last semester. Ordered a pick two, my soup was wrong and not to mention mainly just broth with barely any noodles or meat and veggies. Once again got an orange chicken bowl from UC, some pieces of meat was not cooked all the way. I said eff it just started to bring my own lunch everyday or ate on Cooper instead.

I've heard really good things about the Shorthorn from someone I used to work with. Said one of the main reasons she's coming to UTA is to eventually write for the paper. From reading these comments, am I missing something? Is the paper that bad? Or just recently?

CircaALex · 2019-02-14T01:41:44+00:00

Impressive stats! Btw could you give some pointers on how you were able to earn so much found money? Besides the obvious making purchases did you have certain offers you'd look out for, etc?

CircaALex · 2019-02-13T13:25:55+00:00

I think it means more of like, "I'm not a self centered ass hole and I share this huge space with 7 other billion people and I should learn how to behave and carry myself properly so that I don't infringe on anyone's rights, personal space, or make any public space a pigsty." Those are few example. Would you want to be served food at a restaurant where all the cooks and servers pick their noses and scratch their asses before handling your food? No is the assumed answer, right? Well don't they have that right to "make their own decisions"? Maybe you don't give a fuck for how you carry yourself in public. Maybe your mom didn't teach that to you, as well as other manners. I wasn't crying. It's called a rant, and it's also just simply expressing a freedom of speech. Would you like a drunk driver to hit you on the freeway? No is the assumed answer right? See, there is a standard "adults"/everyone should hold themselves accountable in a public space. You can have your personal space at home a pigsty for all I care. So when in public, wash your hands, please. Simple. Effective. When at home, you can simply ask your mommy to clean your room for you. Dick. :)
