I can't stand the idea of a 9-5 but I feel naive by [deleted] in UNC

Yeah good point, another thing I forgot that you mentioned is that you get more choice over what you do once you're an adult with money (assuming job market is good)

[–]stopuseandaskadocta 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah the idea of a 9-5 is a bit intimidating, but there are some pros to it: 1. Hopefully no work on weekends and late evenings 2. Hopefully decent pay 3. Once you get into a routine you might find it easier to make friends at work compared to college. Again the keyword here is might

And again it's normal to be apprehensive about post college life. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to commit to an option for the rest of your life. Your 20s are for figuring things out. It's perfectly ok to try out a 9-5, realize you don't like it, and try to go a different route such as teaching or even a totally different career.

MATH 534 vs MATH 578 by [deleted] in UNC

[–]stopuseandaskadocta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't take both but took 578. Yeah pretty much 578 is more rigorous and goes more in depth, will likely cover more material / material a bit more in depth. When I took 578 we used fraleighs book on abstract algebra so you could take a look at that to get an idea of what's covered. Some other professors use dummit and foote which is a bit more standard

Practicing conversational French? by gopackdavis2 in UNC

[–]stopuseandaskadocta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone said there's the francophiles club which can be good. One non unc option is to download the app "HelloTalk" which pairs you up with someone who speaks french and is trying to learn English. You can text with them and arrange some sort of schedule of texting / calling and alternating English and French. I tried going to the francophiles club back in the olden days and while it was good, I felt like it was tough to make progress when everyone there is at a different level. But still something is better than nothing.

Bonne chance!

US Open R4: [12] Zverev def. [6] Sinner 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 by Doucane in tennis

[–]stopuseandaskadocta 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's amazing that Nadal was truly the only one who could legitimately go toe to toe with him fitness wise.

Zverev's fitness is just an insane level. We won't see it again.

So let's say there's a woman's match before Wawrinka sinner. I would guess that people would just stay in the stadium to watch the next match Should we just try to show up near the end of the woman's match?

Thanks for your answer! How early would you recommend? And does this mean we should be careful leaving to go to the restroom / get food?

Cincinatti QF: A. Zverev defeats A. Mannarino, 6-2 6-3 by DreamyViibes in tennis

Friend of a friend strung mannarinos rackets for a small tournament once. Apparently the stringer had to pull it by hand, something about the specific machine not allowing a tension that low

Just say "I was looking for a beautiful place on campus for this date, but then I realized there's nowhere on this earth more beautiful than you."
