Anyone else started out ambitious and ended up not caring anymore?

I honestly dont give a shit about being a nerd because I know I'm not weird, but it doesen't mean I dont want to be smart and aspire to do awesome intellectual shit either

You didn't waste countless nights on /sci/ trying to figure out the habits of your favorite scientists/mathematicians and trying all the supplements or classical songs to try to raise your IQ by 2 points?

i graduated 5 years ago as well and i'm considering going back, but i'm very insecure because i'm not as sharp as i used to be and i don't remember some elementary stuff like calculus. what made you go back and did you go over all undegrad topics beforehand?

Schools are a way to neuter your brain so you can become a hard working sheep.

Mostly because of insecurity because I didn't think I could do hand calculations for statics/strength of materials. Turns out it wasn't the issue. The program I'm at provides opportunities to refresh on engineering mechanics and relevant math topics.

I can't do mathematical proofs anymore but I don't care anymore about proving shit about closed connected sets that are bounded or w/e.

I'm learning math so I can solve all the millennium problems left and put a bunch of nigger words into the paper and post it here.
Literally don't care about being alive or even math or the world. Just wanna shit post in major ways.
I mean why should I give a fuck about anything?
I just like being funny and laughing alone.

but did you not need to take an admission exam to enroll like the gre test or the gre subject tests? usually most grad programs require the candidate to take one

I got a quant score of 160 and a verbal score of 167 and managed to land in a not so crappy program. They're sucking me for money.

More to add on. They wanted personal statement (I rewrote mine many times with no help), GRE verbal and quantitative (no subject tests), and transcripts.
GRE is something you can study for. The shitty transcript can be compensated for with relevant work experience. I had a shitty GPA but I had relevant work experience and my whole package somehow made it through the admissions committee .

This, it's unreal how stupid you become.
I'm 32 and went back.
I emailed my professors today about if it would be ok to buy old editions of the text books and I realized I wrote down the wrong course number for like half the emails.
Even though I was afraid of doing that and double checked.
Most of them just replied "I'm not the instructor for that course."
Feeling pretty retarded, can't even figure out how to email basic questions

I started out recognizing education as a flop, and realize now Infiltration would have been best:) be very glad you did do the math. Digits confirm
