hey legends, do NOT do engineering studies unless you are willing to roll the dice on your atar and then almost kys coz of how fkn stupid all the teachers are across the board.

"bro its not that deep" - bastani
wow i had two hours to study instead of sport and do you know what i did? I learnt about two types of diagrams.
I have to study (long part incoming)

Quantum Computing: What risk do quantum computers pose to cyber security?
Quantum Computers are a new technology that can more easily crack modern encryption. Techniques such as Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL) are becoming increasingly more prevalent as people and organisations collect encrypted data with the hope that they will be able to decrypt it using Quantum Computing. Quantum Computers are made up of 'Qubits' which are similar to classic computers 'bits' in that they have the states of one and two. However, they differ in that Qubits can be between states in 'superpositions', which means that it is in multiple states simultaneously. Encryption keys are currently calculated by multiplying two incredibly long prime numbers together to get one, longer number. This number is your 'public key' and the other two are 'private keys'. Qubits are able to complete incredibly lengthy calculations at once which speeds up the process of testing. This makes them incredibly dangerous; Quantum Computing puts our data at risk of decryption.

sorry im ranting but ive got more


i can't fucking code shit and i can't ask for help because i feel like every time i do im just being told the answer yk? and like yeah yeah closed mindset but like that whole thing is bullshit like if I'm not getting it I'm not getting it he has to explain the most basic ahh shit over and over again and I'm putting all this effort in except I'm not really because I keep fucking procrastinating in class because I hate feeling like I just do it easily and like why am I trying to learn how to program as a career when i could literally do something that comes naturally to me??? like money its just money...

and fuck me that basketball game last night was shit haha like the fucking refs were off the rocker we're in bottom division and these idiots were calling TECH FOULS like shut your asses up let that shit go... you dumbasses there's actually no rule against squeaking your shoes against the ground when they're shooting a three... as long as I'm not clapping!!!! ffs

and i cant seem to find enjoyment in anything because I'm supposed to be studying so when I'm playing games i cant enjoy myself and when I'm on my phone i cant enjoy myself, even when I'm just in class I'm literally shaking worrying about my prelims like i can't do work in class i just swap between stressing the fuck out and playing games like aaaaaaa
and i feel like i'm fucking myself over like why can't i just study i sat there for 2 goddamn hours and learnt about literally three things: quantum computing, level one dfd and a context diagram...

The response is very well written, you've got nothing to worry about in that regard, although..

I have definitely felt the same way. I can't say I've any good solutions, sorry. Depending on your willpower though, you could convince yourself to abandon all other aspects of life in favour of solely studying. Also, start on the circuit diagram symbols. That seems easy enough, and doing one part will most likely provide some motivation to do the rest.
