Bored Of Studies

Thankfully, since I’ve snapped back to reality, I started weightlifting, drawing, and turned life into a game of different ‘missions’ to accomplish.

I’m going in for the grind, but also for the reward and the satisfaction of doing things through MY OWN EYES.

If you don’t understand what I mean, I hope you start your journey of self destruction, study psychology, and then lose the purpose of it, so you come out wise, but also successful.


(Wisdom can freeze A LOT of people, I learnt that first hand - trust me, even being aware of this fact doesn’t DO anything)

if everything you learn is resulting in self destruction then A. you're learning the wrong things or B. you're not learning things properly (e.g. unreliable sources, failing to recognise bias, believing the first thing you see and calling it wisdom)

I think wisdom can freeze people but only if you're cramming heaps of different information into your brain to the point where it has you lost and exhausted, if you can apply knowledge in your own life and the world around you then the wisdom is worth gaining, useless knowledge can certainly be destructive or just, useless

I was gonna say yes but then I realised I'm taking an ideology unit this coming semester oop. I'm actually interested in learning ab boring shit like marxism, conservatism feminism narcissism n all dat

Marxism and conservativism are a pretty contradictory combination. Why not just try Classical German Philosophy (I don't know if that actually even exists in uni) with Marxism?

Also have you thought of doing Metaphysics?

yeah but the point of the unit is to just explore a bunch of diff ideas and movements, which I'm into bc I like learning ab a lot of things at surface level rather than one thing really deeply

and no I haven't thought of metaphysics bc I'm a science student not philosophy lol, I'm just taking this ideology one as an elective+Dalyell Scholar unit it's friendly to students of all disciplines

The credit points, a major usually need atleast 8 subjects (One year), a minor, and electives usually only need 4 subjects. Also, your major is probably what your job when you graduate will be. Economics major does Economics internship and get an Economics or Finance related job.

Classical German Philosophy is just Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Fichte, etc. I don't know much about them myself though because I'm a Commerce student, I only read philosophy as leisure and I'm focusing on my grades now.

in other words a major has a heavier workload than a minor, but if you do a minor you still need to fill up the extra space with electives

If you choose the Science, you have to take one year to do the core subjects of the science bachelor, if you do Compsci you don't have to do the core subjects of science

Nah because I got an offer to study CS at UTS but it's actually science with brackets computer science. And since you guys are talking about the science part of your degree i look forward to it.

@[ ] never heard abt that shit in my life very foreign terms but that's interesting, always nice to go outside of your field and learn things, personally I've been taking advantage of my elective space to learn as much non science things as possible (taking Japanese this yr in true weeb fashion)
