Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

i mean yah i agree that like a general business degree kinda doesnt do much vs any other degree, but even then lots of employers hire students for internships, and its not hard to get offers for business with a lot of networking (going to career fairs, expos, business events, networking nights). and at least with everyone ive talked to who does networking, makes it not that hard to immediately go into a good starter job

It’s not about my experience about anything it’s just ā€œoh god I’m going to fail because May failedā€ which is like. Very weird to hear from my end. Which is why I haven’t stopped talking about it

college is a really really good networking opportunity with a huge amount of resources. especially any business college worth their weight

me and my other texan Management Information Systems bestie make a game of going together as a one-two punch and try to work that southern charm on those unsuspecting northerners

march is when i figure things out. if i get into an reu i go to grad school and figure things out from there. if i don’t becoming a vagrant is probably in the cards

I have been burnt out on them for so long. I had friends in middle school who like. Resented me because I got better grades than them without trying. And this was the other straight-A students one of the two ended up going to an Ivy. This was high praise. But also it meant my friends resented me

(we both got interview offers off of it, i got a sweet internship and he denied them all to take a summer job with the two other members of his polyamorous 3-way relationship which he just got kicked out of i think)

Oh I get that so much, its why I found friends who cared for me no matter what, and I stuck by them till the end. I still am friends with the same 4 people now for over a decade.

I have always hated the whole zero sum gain mentality, its so destructive and sick

And it’s not like… it’s not like my skill scales. I’m not particularly good at studying for classes. I’m not good at turning my time into increases in grades. I have good intuition, not good dedication or whatever. I have a standard level of academic skill and trying to get anything past that is a massive upward slope.

So it’s just like. Yes I can get 5s on AP exams I didn’t study for. But once I’m past like. What I can do at a base level. Once I get to anything that’s remotely unintuitive for me. It’s very difficult to do any better than that

I get that yea, I have really good intuition and im good at working myself to the bone, but my memory is really really bad, so like if I want to study for an exam, I can at most do so 24h before the exam or I forget
