the period i spent at a college campus feels like time spent in heaven from this perspective

[chad_prodigy]

not that i hate my life now, but reminiscing on it feels surreal, like it was a dream

obviously, the catch is in having the right type of good looks and not being a male bimbo; once you've passed that threshold, it's a 5-year long orgasmic experience

i could write an essay about it, but i know people here are only sensitive when it comes to bragging, but, somehow, fail to detect weak humblebragging, which is way cringier, so i won't

my peak memories from that period aren't even related to fucking attractive girls. just walking around the campus while having the ideal type of looks magnified by status and everything else that comes with it feels like a heroin high

going to the library to study, sitting at a bench in the central park of the campus with your friends and chatting during a perfect early summer evening, heading to the court to play futsal (and being approached with "where are you going" and told "can i play with you" after responding to the girl who approached you or something like that almost every time, lmao), getting treated like a celeb in an environment loaded with prime girls, having your position acknowledged by other guys 10 x per day and so on ... jesus, i should have offed myself after graduating. that kind of experience ain't repeating

My entire time at university was spent alone shuffling to the library with my head down and then going back to spend the rest of my time rotting alone in my room

are you a stemcel? had armies of them in my wing alone, and that's what their lives looked like. they didn't seem to be bothered, at least not on the outside. it's not that these guy don't want the classic college experience, but they enjoy some other stuff (reading, gaming, etc) way more than the average party-goer, so they have it better than it looks.

those stemcels who are less stereotypical and can't contain their desire to be popular, handsome and the center of attention are absolutely fucked, though. had a guy like that next to my room, and you could tell from his body language and the conversations he was trying to start that he was dying on the inside, but he was self-aware enough to not go full incel and start raging about being invisible to girls

Is it possible to have that type of experience in engineering?

Should I go to uni for something else?

 

[Whatever]

Extremely legit thread, I remember being in high school and reading some quote “the real world is more like high school than college”. And that’s exactly how it’s gone for me, 0 to 60 and then back down to 0 ever since.

here, students weren't divided by the colleges they attended/fields they enrolled in, so what you studied didn't matter. the campus was for everyone who got enough points for it (basically HS grades for first year students and, from year 2 onward, your success at university)

in my case, i was in law school, where the female:male ratio is great for guys (+ most guys were nerd/tryhard cucks), so i didnt have the sausagefest experience in neither of contexts (campus environment, college environment)

can't really give you an advice without knowing your academic preferences and expectations from college. imo, it's cucked to pick a field just because there are many women in it. during my primary and secondary education, it felt perfectly natural for me to continue with math at university, but i realized i didn't have what it takes to make an impact, and definitely didn't want to end up as a math teacher, so i went with law, which is like poor man's math.

not sure if i understand what you wrote, but yeah, college experience (without repeating the obvious: only really works if you are not a complete subhuman, but that applies to all phases of life anyway) is the best you'll get from life. the freest i ever felt.

it's not just the things i described in the op, but the fact that these are paired with you being young and having the "i have an entire life in front of me" perspective

imo, it's fairer and more respectful to other users than those transparent low iq attempts at humblebragging
