NB: Spoilers in this thread so don't read it if you haven't seen Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Wire, Spartacus Season 1. My problem with supposedly great shows like Breaking Bad and Dexter (I'll just be using these two examples in this post) is that they're based in reality but they're unrealistic. How should I put this? The writers are capable of making an insane plot that twists and turns like no other. So much shit can happen it's absolutely insane, you never see it coming, there's like huge suspense and shit. I was SO shocked when Dexter's wife was killed. So, SO shocked. In the first two episodes of Breaking Bad, there's a lot of stuff I didn't see coming. These series are without a doubt very thrilling and entertaining to watch because of the amount of suspense and shit like that the writers manage to build up and they manage that suspense pretty well. Now, my problem is that these violent and entertaining plot twists are the result of torturing reality itself. There's no way in real life that a guy like Dexter could kill that many people and get away with it. There's just no possible way. That many people disappear and no one reports? No investigation? Seriously? It just doesn't add up. It's just so unrealistic it kills the show. Similarly with breaking bad, how does the main character get away with dragging a body into his truck in the middle of the road in the god damn neighborhood? How did NO one in the neighborhood even see a random dude walking around half-dead? Where does he get the time to cook meth? Is his wife that stupid as to believe that his association with the white dude (idk their names) is just for weed? Do you spend that much time outside of your home just to smoke weed? Really? How dumb is his wife? See this is my problem with shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad. Writers just fuck reality up the ass to make the show entertaining. Compare that to the wire, which is both really good and still grounded in reality. Same with Spartacus Season 1 (though that's because writers are just copying off history). I want shows to tell a credible story, if you're going to write fiction then don't pretend like it's real. Compare that to Game of Thrones which is true fiction. The story is superb because it writs the rules of its own reality and then follows those rules. Shit gets really entertaining fast because the reader knows the rules of reality in the world of GoT and whenever something happens it can be considered genuinely insane based off the rules of that world. |

Honestly all I do at uni is get wasted. American uni is such a joke if you aren't going into the sciences. |

waiting for the simple fact of waiting is bull shit. The world of the successful is more revolved around the "go getters" or the people who push. That being said, patience being a virtue IS relevant. You have to be skillful in your knowledge of when it is appropriate to wait and when it is appropriate to push. It is a balance game, go to far one way, and you tip the scales out of your favor. |

I just hate the uni style of classes. Prefer small classes where i can ask the teacher some actual questions instead of 180+ lectures. |

little example of today: got up 6.20 took bus at 7.55 no biggie, i'm fine with getting up early finally arrive at uni at 9.15 piss wait for class to start class starts concentrate.jpg class ends it's 12.00 wait 4 hours it's 16.00 english class "q1: find author, date, etc" "q2: what is the main idea" rly. did i really spend 4 hours waiting for this class? teacher's beginning of the year speech echoes in my head "english is mandatory and not going means you WILL be penalized on your mark" i need that mark. i need to get a physics licence with the best marks possible it's 18.00 time to go home empty feeling inside me i did the equivalent of 2 hours of useful work today 19.20 i'm home |

some sort of diploma you get at a uni so far in my classes there's apparently shit like eletromagnetism, some math (nothing hard), engineering things like basic electronics, how materials stretch/work, how beams work and 2 hours of english with this diploma you can work on a masters degree |

Instead of just waiting, use your time constructively. Read a good book, work on your notes, go to the gym, idk. Classes will probably get more engaging as the year progresses. The start of the year usually has the weakest material to help people ease into the subject. |

That sucks, I thought my 1 hour train ride(plus 15 minute by bus) was unpleasant but at least the trains got nice big chairs and tables to work on... |
