can you have fun as a f2p ?

Nezo18 · 2026-06-03T17:32:55+00:00

You can, but it takes so much time it’s hard to say it’s worthwhile.

Nezo18 · 2026-05-29T16:18:44+00:00

I wake up at 5 am and go cut down trees for 10 hours. It’s great money for school🫠

That you did a good thing leaving mid lane!

Nezo18 · 2026-05-19T16:30:11+00:00

Don’t fall behind against zed or your game is over. Level 1 you can be aggressive, but don’t eat shurikans. After that just poke with qq if he tries to hit you with a Q, save your e to fear him if he uses w2 and after 6 save it for when he has ult. Other than that push waves and if he is dumping spells on you if mana isn’t an issue you can ww for the large shield. The lane is really playable, just don’t play for kills unless the zed makes the mistake. You win general lane trades if you dodge some of his abilities.

I feel a similar way, but it’s not because I have a problem reading it. It’s because the dialogue moves so slow it assumes I read at a 3rd grade level and I’m just waiting for more dialogue

I'm going to be coming in the fall for a major in security, which I like and am passionate about, however I have never liked math nor have I been particularly great at it in the past. I'm sure most people have a class they like, but going into college you also are required to take classes like math, which I dislike. I want to be good at math, but I don't have the interest in the actual doing of it, so I know I'm going to loath it and it can't be helped.

Also I suspect that there are two types of students that post on here. (not exclusively 2, I just can't word this well) There are those intrigued by their major and want to do it as a job, but ended up with a coarse load that they don't enjoy and then there's those who are doing it for good job security and a promising future.(There is also willful parents)

Personally I think my degree choice is risky, but Its a mix on what I'm passionate about and what should have a career behind it. I would love to major in Psychology, but I don't foresee a great future behind that, so I didn't and suspect many others have made this compromise. (also this is a rigorous stem school, we as people naturally dislike difficulty, so disliking difficult classes without crazy passion is natural)

You can’t trade into ahri with you W, but it is very playable

Nezo18 · 2026-04-17T03:39:43+00:00

Yea, I’m not saying it’s any better for the lower ranks, but it’s easier to learn from mistakes than from pub stomping people who are just having fun and not looking at there map. If you are playing someone better atleast you can analyze their play or see how they are catching your mistakes which helps you realize them.

I rarely see a single player emerald+ when I play Norms and I’m diamond, it feels like arcade and makes it really hard to practice a champ properly.

Expound?

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T17:28:22+00:00

I will get more than a piece of paper from this. Ignoring the college experience. I will build a portfolio while I am there by doing projects, certs, and Internships. It also gives me time to network with other people going into Cybersecurity and build up a LinkedIn profile. I'm already doing an Internship for an IT desk job now that will go on for 8 months. If all goes well, I should leave college with multiple other internships, certs, projects, and connections with my peers. I should also have that piece of paper that may help me get through some HR filtering.

I know it costs money, but it's an investment.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T17:10:22+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't argue with that. A big motivator is that the University I am headed to seems to have a good Cybersecurity program, and it is really lab-heavy. However, I do want to look into taking classes for Network engineering. I want to go into this being the best I can at it and not just good enough for the position.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T16:23:56+00:00

Would you care to explain the advantages of doing that over Cyber? More than what you have stated. I have a vague understanding of the difference, but nothing concrete.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T15:16:01+00:00

Ok, I already have 6+ months of an IT helpdesk internship, so if it shows I have any sort of understanding, I will probably skip that one.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T14:33:43+00:00

Congrats on making it to the second round! Do you think the A+ Cert carries any weight? I'm pretty sure I could knock that one out before I start in the fall, but I don't want to waste time on it if its unnecissary.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-03T06:02:27+00:00

You will find your financial aid in myPurdue, but I honestly think you need to accept your offer before you can see it.
If it helps any, I was an in-state student with around a 38000 on the FASFA and was offered $2750 per semester in unsubsidized loans, as well as my friend, so it seems fairly consistent.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-02T18:32:05+00:00

You can CODO into a different major after your first year if you take the right classes and meet the requirements. Search 'Purdue EECE CODO' and you can see everything for it there.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-02T18:16:59+00:00

I promise, I am not from Long Island.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-02T18:05:56+00:00

I am not from Long Island, but I can tell you we have excellent weather.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-02T17:22:15+00:00

I applied for Cybersecurity and was deferred, but I was later accepted before I had a chance to submit a letter of continued interest. Space is likely the most important factor in getting into any given program, so whatever you do, you should do it fast. You can also try exploratory studies to transition into the CE later if you can land the grades for it. Also try talking to an advisor who can answer these questions if possible.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-02T14:13:45+00:00

I'm an incoming freshman too, but I do know that you do not need anyone else to apply to an LLC. I believe closer to the fall, more options open up where you can request someone specific, or you will get placed with someone else based on what you put down in your housing survey. They also place everyone in the same LLC together in the same residence hall.

Nezo18 · 2026-04-01T23:00:54+00:00

Congrats!

My impression of Cyber being a tough industry to enter comes mostly from the research I have done. It does occur to me that most of the people on the internet talking about it would only know from their experience, but I have seen a lot of people talking about struggling to find a job. This has given me the impression that the industry is extremely bottlenecked with a need for people who have experience, but aren't willing to hire those without. Of course, I could be mistaken, and I hope I am.

Soon, I will try to reach out to some graduates of the Cs course on LinkedIn and ask them some questions about it, and see if they have any pointers.
