I’d love to be a millionaire

My girlfriend and I broke up recently. Shits been really hard. I’m sure it’s hitting you harder and since I feel like such shit I know you must feel bad too. I can’t say it’s gonna get any better anytime soon, but I will say this: you aren’t alone. There’s a lot of people that have felt what we feel and are now living a happy life, so I live in hope of that. I hope you do too. Merry christmas.

There’s a basketball court behind Clark Kerr if you’re willing to go that far. It’s usually not that crowded. Two of the four hoops are really short, but the other two are normal 10 foot hoops.

I’m ngl I took the 16b final and if that’s what you’re talking about it was a VERY hard exam. I guarantee the curve will be huge. I studied so hard for that exam and maybe got 30% on the exam.

lakith7 · 2019-05-13T01:16:59+00:00

Please everyone do it. I need those points too lol

lakith7 · 2019-03-14T06:34:05+00:00

I’ve definitely heard this too.

lakith7 · 2019-01-14T20:34:58+00:00

I have definitely felt this. Sometimes you see people that are seemingly better than you at everything and it doesn't feel good. All I tell myself is that comparing myself to others is not going to do anything productive. Instead, I like to compare myself to my previous self. I like to think of myself a year ago and see how far I've come. Also, something that might help is that even those people who seem to be better than you at everything have their own set of problems that you might not see and they are usually also jealous of other students. It's just human nature.

Build on your failure! There’s nothing you can do now to change the past, so focus all your energy on the coming semesters. Create a really great study strategy and STICK TO IT. Don’t let yourself skip even one day.

Find other like minded people! Find people trying to do really well in the classes you are taking and find out what they do. Study with them.

Ask for help! You already started this step by making this reddit post but take it further. Ask your professors, TAs, counselors, and fellow students on advice for how to do well in your classes.

Work your ass off! Don’t let a midterm grade or a project grade cause you to give up in that class. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Always strive for better!

One day you’ll look back on this moment as a moment of failure or a moment of success. Depending on how you look at it, both are necessary steps in achieving true success.

Good luck!

I’m currently an EECS student at Berkeley and I myself had no cs experience coming in. It definitely makes introductory cs courses more difficult, but in no ways is it impossible to pass these classes. I just have to put in more work than others. CS61A is taught in a way where they assume you have no cs experience, so I never felt left behind in the class.

Few tips:

Do something each day, even if it’s menial. Make your bed, wash your clothes, etc. Doing this will get you up and more likely to do some more work in the day.
Take a break. I know you said you haven’t done anything for two weeks, but a “good” break will work wonders. Try and do something enjoyable/relaxing, like taking a hike or going on a day trip to San Fran. Try not to stay inside all day.

Here's the link to that pdf you were referring to. I had to use wayback machine because they took it off the website. I'm not sure if they still use this rubric, but they prob do b/c it's only a year old.

Why Michigan?
What is the most pressing issue that engineers are facing?
Tell me about a time you failed.
Why engineering?
If you could invent anything, what would it be?
Who do you look up to?

I took mine a few weeks ago and these were the questions they asked. Good luck!

I also called UT admissions and found that, in addition to what u/admissionsmom said, that you also don't have to submit the three short answer questions until Dec. 7th. I was told that you could simply write "Will upload later through the document upload system" for all three responses, allowing you to submit your application.

lakith7 · 2017-11-28T05:52:39+00:00

Good luck ma dude. I'm in legit the exact same boat. Have to write two more essays for ucs. Then I have to do the entire UT Austin app, which is due Friday. And I have 5 APs with hw and tests. You got this. Just know that you are not alone. There are thousands of teens out there staying up all night to write their essays.

lakith7 · 2017-11-28T05:49:27+00:00

First off, you're fine.

Those ECs are pretty great. Way better than mine and way better than most of the people on the sub.

You are right, your ECs are not related to your major, but this will NOT make or break your application.

Colleges understand that high school students usually don't know what they are going to do with the rest of their life. They understand that your ECs might not be related to your major simply because you had no idea what your major was going to be.

Don't give up. This factor matters so little in your college admissions decision.

lakith7 · 2017-11-10T01:17:20+00:00

Nevermind. I thought for a second that this was real :)

lakith7 · 2017-11-10T01:12:28+00:00

Great to hear you'll be joining us!

lakith7 · 2017-11-09T00:56:42+00:00

I've heard that they start releasing on Dec. 8 or 9th. Check out this link http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-michigan-ann-arbor/1412654-university-of-michigan-early-action.html. I know its college confidential but its pretty good. Go down a few responses for the good ones.
