You really have a thing for boobs don't you.

haha I guess it seems that way... but I was just using the most recent example of me being totally inappropriate in class :(

Pedo :P

In sweden the age of consent is 15. :3

what field

Media and communication

In Germany, this course of study is appropriately called "Irgendwas mit Medien" ("Something with Media").

yes because anyone who studies it is considered a no brainer

hehe yeah, i'm not that smart :D but I really want to be a journalist/writer so it's perfect for me

Yeah and what is an appropriate field? Engineering :x

Post massive tits? : )

did you go back to school (as in school) or university? i know lots of people in their mid to late 20s at uni, not so much at school :p

you still in frankfurt?

university :)

When i first when to university in NZ there were a lot of people who were 21 - early 30s so I expected something similar here but nooo :x

And nah, i'm in the Netherlands

at 27 i'm still a student, heh.

i don't think it matters much. one of the great parts of uni life is that unlike during schooltime one's able to choose who he/she hangs around with most of the time. it probably takes atleast a year or so if you're somewhere new though.

are you doing a phd by now or just major slacking? :P cos I feel old as fuck graduating with 25 (then again I'm like the youngest of my course) considering everybody at uni is now <23 with the bachelor system

i major in slacking :) will graduate with 28 though, phd afterwards if i can get a scholarship or a 'proper' job at uni.

i start feeling old sometimes. worst part of the year is when my current job calls for me to introduce the newcomers in our department to the study guidelines and basic uni life.

imagine a room with 400-500 teens approaching me as if i'm their fucking dad with all their helplessness begging me to sort their life out.
that's one of the times when i suddenly feel old. very old. :>

you should be banned for mentioning huge tits but not providing pics.

I don't want ppl to think i'm weirder than they already do :(

!ban Liefje 9999w no pics

There was a chick in class one day who had enormous tits.

pics or it didnt happen

i went back at 26 and nearly everyone was younger. Really didn't enjoy the company ;o))

I don't really think about it until I hear "OMG, DO U LIKE TWILIGHT?"

Despite that, I think I could relate to the girls quite easy, everyone seems super nice

I think I could relate to them too -?

but then I remember the pretty 14 years girl who used to talk abt sex and make allusions all the time, talking to me and secretly showing me obscene gestures, in the gym. but then all ended up so dramatically as the moment we remained alone in the room (finally a bit of intimacy) she got scared all of a sudden and run away in the other room where there were more people. I think her running speed was kinda 100 km/h

happens when you're a 50+ fat perv

In Brazil, we have a proverb:

"Don´t talk about sex. Fuck a pussy!" Or something...

didn't have any intentions with that girl tbh, just found it amusing to "keep her in shape" (encouraging her bs talk) as I knew at some point she will freak out )))

pic?

i did the same thing, its hard to use brain again for thinking

";-)"

i dont know why i cant [+] u :(

In the Netherlands it's kinda of unusual to take a year off after high school or even multiple years. Usually the older people are the ones that failed one or several years in high school or so called 'switchers'. People that failed or weren't happy with their study and then switched. The really old people (22-23+ in the first year) are people that did HBO (Hoger beroeps onderwijs - transl: Higher labour eduction) and then started either their bachelor or master at a university.

I never had problems with dealing with older students (though only males at my study, maybe it's different with more females) as long they don't try to act older or more mature. The ones that do act like that most of the time form groups with other older student and if there aren't any other older students, then most of the time these people will fail due to social exclusion.

"really old" ahahah :( Well it explains a lot!

In New Zealand it's totally normal to go on your "OE" (overseas experience) when you finish high school for a year or two, then come back to University. I guess thats why I was just really surprised when people think i'm "old" :( I don't feel old!!

Its a lot more girls than guys (maybe a 10:2 ratio) in my course and I think that it's the opposite.. some of the young ones really try to be older. Anyway, I have no problem at all with my classmates either, I was just really surprised how many of them came straight from school :) Maybe i'll have some issues when Twilight comes up since I don't know *anything* about it.

I meant really old as in old for a starter xD

education LOL

try to start a fixed study group of some sort as soon as possible. Helps a lot with assignments.
Just don't have more than 1-2 people in it who are considerably worse at the subject than you are yourself.

hf.

good idea :D thx!

You should watch out with that though.

If you constantly do assignments with people who are better at the subject as yourself, you run the risk of not learning a whole lot because they will usually provide all the answers for you.

So for your personal development it's much better to work with people who are less good at the subject or at most equal.

With the side note that they are motivated as well as it is easy to get dragged down.

people that are not motivated usually don't make it past the first year.

My uni (RU) had very loose rules (geen bindend studieadvies) at my department so there actually was a bunch of unmotivated people even past the first year.

Yeah I agree about the motivation and also about having people who are equal level because it really helps to emphasize things in your own mind if you have to explain it to someone else.

well, I suppose it really depends on what kind of person you are.

I ,for example, can't stand it if someone if better than me all the time, so I will be motivated to learn more.
Also, if there is someone who is a bit less good, and asks a question I can't answer, I am motivated to find the answer.
Basically both being a bit of a competition.

For me, the worst was to sit around alone with my books and more than a week to go. Wouldn't get anywhere.

/edit

on the other hand, when it came to team assignments, and everyone picked one task, it sucked to have someone worse on the team. Cause then I would usually end up doing his work as well.
One time a guy called me on a sunday afternoon, that he couldn't solve his part. We had to hand it in on monday, so obviously it was too late to switch and I ended up doing his part as well :<

christ...

.

go study engineering at my uni and try to do it on your own.

So far, I don't know a single person who even wanted to try after the first two semesters.

as for collusion, in stuff like mechanics and maths, there is usually not that much room for creativity.
And even then, people who just copy without working to understand what is being done are morons and will fail the final exam, as magician pointed out.

But often enough it can happen that a single person doesn't even find the solution to an assignment. Or if he does, he spent so much time on it, that he doesn't have any left for the other things he has to do.

Yes, media and communications may not need study groups, but it certainly can't help.

.

afraid, they'd own you? ;P

.

"but it certainly can't help. "

we know

Yea engineering is impossible to learn by yourself unless you have a genius level intelligence. However, cramster and torrent solution manuals have helped me immensely. Cramster has every EE book I have ever used.

and even on genius level I suppose it does save a lot of time to work with a team.

Also it depends on what you study, lots of people do law or management uni after working for a while for better $ or career perspective (parallel to work or sabatical), while few "older" ppl do i.e. physics or math. Then there are the bored retirees who mostly do history, politics, philosophy and so on. Guessing they aint much into boob-talk either tho.

I hated studying. Thank god I finished it already. One day I was thinking about making PhD but after five years of pain in the ass, I changed my mind.

.

I went to uni right after high school :) I did a diploma in marketing, graduated top of my class, won a scholarship and then moved to Sweden to play Quake :P Then I worked as a marketing manager and actually hated it, so I wanted a career change and that's why i'm back at Uni now.

I felt really disrespected at my last job - really looked down on since I didn't have a masters degree so I really want to avoid this feeling in the future. I also didn't want to go back and start an MBA because I realized that I really don't have it in me to be a tough business bitch.

I'm a Dutch citizen so i'm actually not an "international" student, I pay the EU/EEA fees.

And yeah, being out of a school environment for 5 years, it's gonna take some time to adjust and get on track to manage all the required reading, assignments and extra stuff they want me to do. Also it really depends on the university you go to. The one I was at in New Zealand (AUT), it was BREEZY. Not because the subjects were different but because you spent 6 months on a subject instead of 3.

.

well that's one way to look at it.... but I don't see the point in wasting my time doing something don't like. I don't care if i'm poor for 5 more years, i'd rather that and then be able to work in something i'd enjoy for 40 years after that.

Besides, being bored and hating what you do are 2 different things.

When I finish my BSc I can go directly for a masters in media and journalism which is what I really want :)

Oh and one of my parents is from here.

.

i love to write :) I'm really not worried about that!

You might want to look closer at the rules in the UK, because I was looking into studying there and you need to be a EU / EEA *resident* (so even if you have citizenship, you need to at least live there) for (I think) minimum of 2 years before you are able to get the EU price for University there.

.

Communication sciences isn't about writing at least here in Germany and Austria :P

+1, u go girl!

how can u get a diploma (3,5 years of uni) at the age of 19 is beyond me...

I left high school early, and in NZ a diploma is 2 yrs :o

what crazy universities do they have in nz, when a university degree can be accomplished in 2 years.
In Denmark we would refer to it as, "special" school and you would get a bumper sticker at graduation. :>>

hahaha well, NZ does have some Universities in the times top 200, but the Uni I went to was not :P You can get 2 degrees in 4 years by doing a conjoined course.

I missed graduation, but I did get a fancy-looking diploma :D no bumper sticker though :((((

I had 2 higher diplomas and a foundation degree by 19. Fast-track courses brah.

They burn you out, but shit do you get stuff done

define dimplomas.

u mean diplom ass

well maybe don't go for a degree in manicure next time

.

I'm confident my degree can cope with yours :->

.

Depends where you're from really. When I was at college/uni at 18 or whatever, most the people in my class were actually older then me. Most around 25, couple older and a couple late 30s/40s

I'm post-grad so I'm still in uni, I don't think that it is so crappy. Anyways in my discipline, philology and literature studies, it's 80% females, I'm digging it :D

Om namaha narayana!

nice :D

I think the hardest thing for me is the lack of free time. I thought i'd have SO much since I only have class 4 days a week... but now I realize going to class is about 10% of the work :( It feels like as soon as I finish one assignment, 3 more pop up outta nowhere :(((

THIS.

goddammit.

how much did you think to go to uni again? was you standing up when you was thinking or sitting down? did you take any drugs lately, lad? raise your hands please? do you have an identifications card? what was you doing last friday between 9-11 AM? do you have any prove? how much can you biceps curl? am I mad or just stupid or both?

why is a raven like a writing desk?

because you spoiled the ink all over the table?

I went back at 27. Yea it's a lot harder now because I have to manage working a part time job and going to school semi full time. When I had a gf it was even harder because my entire life was her/school/work and nothing else. My field of study is fairly difficult (EE), but I do find it easier to learn at my age. I'm more motivated to get good grades, because if I don't I'm going to struggle later in life. There are only three ways to remedy the lack of free time problem. 1) Take 1 less class a semester and load up in the summer 2) Study for you classes you are taking next semester during your breaks so you are a good 2-3 weeks ahead 3) Take out a massive amount of loans so you don't have to worry about $ (for the time being).

As for your concern about always having assignments, you should try getting ahead in your classes. If you are a good week or two ahead of the curve, getting good grades is a lot easier and you don't get overwhelmed. You should try to find a day where you say to yourself "ok, I'm just going to sit here all day and plow through as much stuff as I can". You will get ahead pretty fast if you do that enough times at the start of a semester.

those are all really good ideas. One point though is that I don't have holidays between semesters. Just a weekend :(!! The only time off I have this year is Christmas and some Easter days. It's quite brutal!

As far as the working situation is concerned, i'm very lucky that I don't have to work as well. I'm also really motivated to get good grades. I'd love to be the class nerd, heheh.

Take a lighter load of classes once in a while then. You have your whole life to become a square. :D

i think no matter what life holds for me, i would go really crazy being a square :P

I that case the beginning of the semester is the preferred time for vacation ;)

I'm also quite late, I just turned 27 and I am doing right now my master in computer science ... I am doing the master in France, in the program probably all people are younger than me, but anyway since doing my bachelor (started the Bsc with 24) I am used to being a bit older, although the age in the german university before was a bit higher than here (probably because german school takes longer and male people here often have to serve for the state, as I did too).
But tbh. the study colleagues I met so far are much more friendly somehow than in germany ... but the study program right now is very hard, it's not really computer science right now, it is Math with some relation to Computer Science ... your free time will depend on your university and your program, in my bachelor studys I had like 2-3 weeks in april off and like 1,5 months in summer when each semester ended ... in between there is only the christmas vacation where you also have to use some time to learn for exams ...

.

That's what I mean that it's different for different schools.

I only have 4 days to sit 3 exams each term (and a term lasts 8 weeks) :)

.

n00b

.

Are you a master's student then? I thought the undergrad courses were still on semesters. Assuming uva...

no, bachelor lvl but at erasmus, not uva :s We do have terms but theres no break between them, just a weekend.

Oh, weird. I didn't even realize Erasmus was a school and not the program at first, which was super confusing. Yeah, my weekend break next month is going to be awesomee.

oh yeah, I forgot about the program too. I think they're totally separate

in 5 days I have 7 exams, or let's say I have 7 courses and the exams are to be written in one week in december, in germany I also had often some days in between the exams

same, you are not alone princess

Milk those teachers for all they're worth. Be their little good girl for as many classes as possible, that is if you plan on slacking and handing shit in late. Otherwise, don't bother.

But you'd be pretty surprised at how much shit you can get out of from being a good person.

.

What, southern ontario?

ROFL you're a fucking idiot

.

Because it's pretty apparently you know nothing of this province.

You might literally be the worst trolls in the world. Seriously.

I don't care about Chinese women...maybe you do, but don't assume your needs are mine too.

cool story

I want to fuck underage big-titted swedish girls.

there there. feels good letting it out, doesnt it?

The difference is im actualling doing it next summer.

they gettin' old till next summer =[

You get old, they always stay the same.

not if you follow one like terminator did lol

haha about tits hat
godspeed about else

well i never finished high school (well it's called a little different in austria, but i guess you know what i mean). i wanted to finish it by going to evening classes when i was 26 (2 years ago). there are people from all ages there, from 20 to 60. somehow i didnt get used to it however and quit after a semester.. i dont get used to people at all though, so im sure it will be different for you

maybe i'll finish it sometime because it's the thing that just kinda keeps bugging you. but at the moment im making very good money on a few other things and that's okay for me

you have no guarantees that way though. you can try unconvential stuff and get rich with the first thing you try. you can however end up trying for the rest of your life and never be successful with anything. it's just part luck. but that's life

get rich or die tryin

i'm 29, first night as a fresher, i'm pissed, dont car. got id'd at the campus night club, went back to my new flat, im wasted. all the girls are hot?!!?!? am pedo!

(+) for you :)

why did you vote 4v4 ? :(

:( why not?

I haven't played 5v5 tho.. :P

I dropped out of high-school at 16, and took some college classes at 21, but, it was just as boring so I quit again. The girls liked me though. I look younger than my age. Even today, at 29, people think i'm only 18.

School is just shit for some people. It's all geared for the masses, which means, if you're too fast or too slow, it doesn't work for you. The girls are nice though. Today, with the internet, people are better off educating themselves... aside from the women and the jobs you can get with official degree's.

Are there like school prom's in New Zealand? How about high-school reunions? I have no concept of these things, but they're common in the United States.

this post explains A LOT

you know, i kinda totally agree

this post explains A LOT

you know, i kinda totally agree

this post explains A LOT

Same situation here, wish you the best of luck, I haven't really found my place when I first faildropped out of uni.

I'm doing the same since a week ago actually .. at age 29

Not because i really need to per se but just because its never too late to better oneself.

And yes people in my class come across as being very very different from myself, since they are 10 + years younger (most of them).

But i wouldn't call it hard per se, the hard part is juggling my adult life with my school life, time does seem short when u gotta do all sorts of domestic stuff as well as study.

yeah, I think that's my problem too. Gonna be a lot more nights with takeout :)

i started one this fall as well, failed 3 already so decided to do something ez just for the diploma and took up english teaching

three! what did u do before that?

i did 2 at the same time after high school (law, economics) and found it so boring i just bailed, traveled and worked a bit, then went back for information technology but flunked out because it was bloody hard

I started school (uni) again a month ago at age 24. the age ranges from 19 to 32 in my class, only a few who came straight from high school, so the maturity level seems pretty high actually. I find a lot of them aren't used to having this amount of responsibility though. I guess you kinda need to have a "real" job and your own place to really know what it's like to be on your own like this.

but overall it's nice. not a lot of work, cool people all round and a very nice city to live in.

what are you studying? and where? :)

Product Design in Malmö

I imagined there would be a lot more artsy types than there is.

You're in the ass end of Sweden. Try Stockholm.

I take it you have quite the insight into the cities of Sweden. Enlighten me please. Why is Malmö 'the ass end of Sweden'?

Not really, but its like comparing Bristol to London.
You'll always get more colourful characters in the Capital.

Ass end was in reference to its position, at the bottom.

Actually, there are a lot of 'colorful' people who move from Stockholm to Malmö because they feel the city suits them better. My experiences with Stockholm has been that people tend to their own group of people and be more focused on themselves compared to the people in Malmö, who seem to be more open and down to earth.

Besides my personal bias you could argue that being closer to the rest of Europe, mainly Denmark, Germany and Poland gives the city a much more continental feel.

And, Malmö is at the very tip of the giant penis that is Sweden (have a look at a map). Finland would be the nuts, so the ass would end up somewhere in Russia.

I'm doing my Masters Degree in Management now and I'm 25 which I find quite old.

liefje iz fit

At 28, I hardly feel like studying anymore. The only books I look at are novels and immediately lose interest in anything that even remotely looks like it's gonna require a lot of effort.

Reading and writing are great habits and I've retained them. But what I read and what I write has absolutely nothing to do with what I studied at Uni.

'....immediately lose interest in anything that even remotely looks like it's gonna require a lot of effort'

Good luck with your career if that's your attitude

Been testing video games for the last 3 years, minus the Baftas and expensive 5 star hotel penthouse bills. Btw, that sentence was related to bookish uni education. We don't need books at work.

Who needs 5 star hotels when you have curry and cholera!

"immediately lose interest in anything that even remotely looks like it's gonna require a lot of effort."

P.S.

That's why you're still a tester at 28.

look at steve jobs, bill gates, the oracle chef, they haven't made their money due to being the best engineers ... I think all three don't have any degree as computer scientists or made big development efforts in their software, they are all three business men ... and they are probably the best known figures in computer science now ...
I don't know to me it seems people that can develop good software are not honored, you know it's like software is nothing special for the people and they don't see the craftmanship in it ... although it is much more complex than most things that are constructed in real life ...

"I think all three don't have any degree as computer scientists or made big development efforts in their software"

lol idiot.

insightful

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates#Microsoft
"Gates graduated from Lakeside School in 1973. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT[19] and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1973.
Gates devised an algorithm for pancake sorting as a solution to one of a series of unsolved problems [21] presented in a combinatorics class by one of his professors. Gates' solution, which was later formalized in a published paper in collaboration with Harvard computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou [22], held the record as the fastest version for over thirty years
over the course of a few weeks they developed an Altair emulator that ran on a minicomputer, and then the BASIC interpreter.
Gates never returned to Harvard to complete his studies."

no u

so he dropped out and has no degree.
also this stuff didn't contribute to microsofts power,
the most important thing for microsoft was to buy the operating system dos and resell it on their own name, I don't think gates developed too much regards to dos.

But still gates is probably still a computer genius nevertheless, but it wasn't his development efforts that made microsoft what it is today ..
I am just saying that you don't get rich being a technical genius and working on your own, you have to make others work for you to get rich.

didn't know the oracle chef was such a big name.

How many stars has he got? ;P

he's just the 6th richest man in the world ...

but I think a position like that one from John Carmack is probably best: Owning the company and still being a lead developer :-)

the chef is???

holy shit!!!

I better change my career choice to cooking, then ;)

ok, now I get it :-),
tbh. I felt you meant something else in your answer

According to your analysis, age is directly related to success in life. If we go by that theory, we'd all be welsh at birth.

back to shoryuken? =[

just started to practice thunderstruck again at age 21.

1. organize a Thundestruck CA duel tournament on a Saturday
2. fund the 100 EUR yourself
3. seed yourself at #1
4. ???
5. profit

The trick with the free time thing is simple. You have to align your tastes/interests with what will make you successful. Therefore anytime you actually do have free time you're spending it on productive things (e.g., studying/reading, writing, making your esports documentaries or whatever). Quake/video games aren't productive.

how does this fit with her 35 cm penis-size obssession?

girth or length ?

more like circular axiom

LOL

Maybe I can write erotic novels...

boobs on the cover ftw

being my sugar momma?

you're right but I can also look at video games from a "serious" point of view. One of my lecturers has done loads of research on the psychological side of video games (such as the social aspect of LAN events, why FPS games are appealing, why boys are more attracted to FPS games etc) so I find that really interesting :)

any published stuff available?

one of my favorite things to do is to hate on psychological studies :D

loads haha!

I can msg u a list if u really wanna read it :)

not so much to read as to confront the poison directly before it psychologizes the gaming community into a servile pulp :D

well, never mind that, just pass it over! meanwhile i'll check up on pilkington in jordan ((::

OMG, new ep out???

I *loved* the India episode, that guy who wrapped his dick around the stick and called it "yoga" was bizarre. Karls face when he met the elephant guy was sooo gold :D

Hehehe, and the imagined face of Gervais when HE saw it :D

Jordan episode was AWESOME!!! I really want to see Petra now :)

Karl was more impressed that the mail got delivered there than he was with Petra tho... hahaha

and that kidnapping scene? It would have been so scary, I think he dealt with it alright.

Dealt with it alright alright :D

so, made any plans on moving into a cave with a great view, yet? :D

I think i'm with Ricky on this one, i'd rather be living *in* the mansion :)

Yeah, seems both of us haven't "reached" Karl's level of thinking yet.

I loved his analogy, how it is better to be fat and ugly, since you get to look at better looking people :D

so fake

fake, fake, fake

crime!

i startet 2nd study with 24. didnt finish first one, dropped out after 3 1/2 years. yeah, im one of the oldest on paper, but i dont really care.

actually, after maturing a little i enjoy university even more than i ever did. in the past i only studied for passing exams and having it done.


i think its important to study because the material itself interrests you.
i see a lot of people studying because they want a "good" job training, ending up stressed and badly motivated

but i realized its a bit harder to make up new friends, witch you obviously need. thats the only problem i see from my point of view.
i feel it can be a real pain in the ass to hang around with younger people for a longer time . maybe join the students association, there are naturally more people at your age who study the same subject.
