To be honest, I still am not too sure what mechatronics implies other than "automated systems"

They just had a really good presentation for their degree program. Might be worth it to look into mechanical or electric more since I think mechatronics is meant to be a mix of all three

Yeah I've noticed if I stay up (sometimes I get too hot to sleep or my cat wakes me up to give her attention) I just cannot learn the next day.

I've been looking at all these posts and I think the answer is definitely, "take a smaller course load next semester"

Summarily, if I start doing at least 20 hours at work a week I qualify for food aid again, which would be nice to have some more grocery money

All hail brassica prime

Fuck it, if we're doing this make customer service the same as well

Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy

Every few months I check back and see if there's any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated

My man, far too late and far from the first one to say this

I'm very sorry you have to do this, life is proper fucked

Look I fell into the doctor who crowd years ago and it has been.... A ride. I always figured I'd get into trek when Ive got nothing left to lose

I hope you don't mean my job, because I kinda need that to eat and pay rent

Thanks, and yeah I'm allocating some time for myself, silksong has been all I've been doing in the afternoons

 

I've never been so busy, I made the life altering decision to go back to college at 30 to get an engineering degree. I generally like math and I love building things and messing with electronics, it should be the perfect fit. But after starting at calc 2 and now doing 5 or 6 classes full time, working, and planning a wedding. I feel like I'm stretched thin.

I'll get off of school and my brain feels like molasses. I'm medicated but I still feel like everyone is learning at twice the speed as me while I reread the question to make sure I actually understand the wording.

There's some of you out there who are engineers, scientists, doctors with ADHD, who go out and do community stuff, go to the gym, live life and even socialize.

How? How do you do it? How do you keep up with such a constant schedule and try to understand new concepts every day on top of that? How do you not just curl into a ball and closing up into yourself to stop being overwhelmed?

I feel like I'm doing life on hard mode and it sucks

 
 
 
 
 

No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I've called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you're asking someone if they've seen any (______)'s
