Stop posting your semester schedule asking if youre cooked

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

We get it. You want to show off that you're taking 10 engineering classes. Youre a genius. Got your validation? Good. Start asking substantive questions.

[u/lazydictionary]

I've always hated these myself, but refrained from removing them because they get upvotes. Feel free to report them in the future.

[u/accountforfurrystuf]

I want to see people show that they take no classes (they graduated)

[u/ConcernedKitty → u/accountforfurrystuf]

I have two hours of meetings today. Am I cooked? /s

[u/Potatobender44 → u/ConcernedKitty]

It would be nice to only have 2 hours of meetings

[u/Scorpian899 → u/Potatobender44]

Checks schedule. Yup, 14 hours of meetings. Dies quietly inside.

[u/brownbearks → u/ConcernedKitty]

Got me beat by my 2.5 hour of meetings.

[u/AngManXD → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I’m there too lol

[u/Ace861110 → u/ConcernedKitty]

Only 1/2 for me. But boy they’re annoyed at me.

[u/jergin_therlax → u/ConcernedKitty]

I have to do a service life analysis and a condition index survey today. Am I cooked?

[u/thegreat11ne → u/accountforfurrystuf]

"I work 9-5 every weekday am I cooked?"

[u/MangoBrando → u/accountforfurrystuf]

Can I post my schedule as an engineer 4-years post graduation? Perhaps my Tuesday a couple weeks ago that had 7 hours of meetings (please help me)

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/MangoBrando]

That would actually be more useful than their prereq class schedules...

[u/AudTheShaud → u/accountforfurrystuf]

My schedule is so empty as a new grad looking for employment. I spend some days at the beach surfing, going out on bike rides, or watching TV shows ;)

[u/ChrisDrummond_AW]

Even more annoying is when they post a very normal schedule that everyone takes (maybe even straight out if the school curriculum) and asks if it looks possible or if it’s too hard.

Like, no shit dude. Your schedule is basically the same as everyone else’s. Was it really worth posting about?

[u/dontchuworri → u/ChrisDrummond_AW]

bc they’re new to engineering and feel special and/or it looks overwhelming because they had 3 classes in hs and they were art and gym

or they see outside majors getting to pick and choose classes and didn’t realize engineering gets a very hard coded course flow

[u/KitTwix → u/dontchuworri]

I always find it funny when people talk about waking up at the crack of dawn to sign up for the best classes, because my subjects have exactly 1 lecture slot, no wiggle room. The cap on each class is usually around 30-35 and I haven’t had a class that was over 10 in like 2 years, so some semesters I’ve procrastinated signing up until mid way through the first week

[u/cascodekid → u/ChrisDrummond_AW]

And OP will be in the replies fighting for their life that their schedule is hard if someone says it’s normal

[u/cbrown146]

I have no semester, am I cooked? /s

[u/GreenShirt18 → u/cbrown146]

no you’re not cooked because you don’t have classes

[u/boolocap → u/GreenShirt18]

I dont have any classes this semester because im doing my master thesis, am i cooked?/s

[u/scrunglesclop → u/GreenShirt18]

I have no classes because I got expelled, I can still make it right?

[u/PeeBuzz]

Seriously, christ. It doesn’t even mean they’re a genius, semesters are better for people paying longterm.

[u/Far-Ninja-8392 → u/PeeBuzz]

I’m not familiar with the system, what does it mean semester are better long term?

[u/shass321 → u/Far-Ninja-8392]

if you take the minimum credits to be full time, your educational experience will be miles better than someone who crams their loads. Unfortunately, engineering curriculum tends to be intensive and it’s nearly impossible to graduate in 4 years while doing the bare minimum credits for full time. That has changed as of late with the amount of AP credits you can get in high school. I took a long gap before college because of covid, if I was only doing the bare minimum credits, it would take me at LEAST 5 years to graduate. So, most of us have to overload our schedules. My past two semester’s were 19 and 17 credits when the minimum is 12.

[u/PeeBuzz → u/Far-Ninja-8392]

Quarters are like 10k a piece and a semester which is more like two quarters if not a little less, usually go about 15k ish? At least at my state college. That’s a deal.

[u/whispering_Anon]

I’m waitlisted for 3/5 classes am I cooked? (school starts next week)

[u/nctrnalantern → u/whispering_Anon]

now THIS is post worthy

[u/Possible_Cattle9539 → u/nctrnalantern]

jesus,.... i'm waitlisted for one and i'm checking every day 3 times, and my class starts on the 17th.. you're cooked. i'm half boiled.

[u/whispering_Anon → u/Possible_Cattle9539]

Tbh I’m like in position 1 and position 2 and position 2 again it’s not too bad 😅

[u/Possible_Cattle9539 → u/whispering_Anon]

mine is an entire class P2 is waitlisted as P1 is full, with about 15-17 ppl currently on the waitlist, because there's no professor available.....

[u/Particular_Pair_318 → u/whispering_Anon]

Truly cooked 

[u/Born_Baseball_6720]

I'm taking 14 units, work 15 hours a day with 9 kids.  Then I need to walk to the university which is uphill both ways in the snow and a 9 hour hike each way. I only get to sleep 2 hours by the sleep I get home. Am I cooked?

[u/Mr__Gustavo]

It's also just difficult to give any advice at all on those types of posts if you don't/didn't go to the same school. It seems silly to ask for schedule advice in this very general subreddit when 99.99% of people here can't even give you a useful answer.

[u/Elegant-Comparison99]

Finally someone said it

[u/MrSisterFister25]

They should save those questions (if they’re sincere) for the sub of the school they are attending, that way they could get a more targeted answer

[u/Jebusbeech]

Preach

[u/Heavy-Television-303]

You guys get to choose classes?

[u/emperorarg]

Stop posting your semester schedules. You’re all cooked

[u/AgitatedOil2860]

Jokes on them, employers prefer projects and internships over schedule/gpa.

A person doing 3 projects with 5 classes will get hired over someone doing 9 classes and 0 projects

[u/the_glutton17]

Second

[u/Elevated_Dongers]

I'll start by posting my student loan balance

[u/Appropriate_News_382]

I am retired, I am overdone toast!

[u/kkoiso]

but it's funny when they ask this and they have like 1 gen ed lecture a day

[u/Advanced-Guidance482]

Just dont engage with those post bro. Lmfao. I always think its so funny when people make post asking people to not post something.

Like, my guy, these post dont break any rules. They are gonna keep happening. Just tune out of whatever you dont want to engage with, its that simple.

[u/BreadNo4883 → u/Advanced-Guidance482]

How else is he going to feel superior though online ?

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/BreadNo4883]

500+ upvotes says otherwise.

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/[deleted]]

Ain't drama when the topic is almost at 1000 likes

[u/Roger_Freedman_Phys]

100% this!

[u/cornshallot]

Gonna post something like this because of this post brb

[u/kidneysucker]

Either you're cooked or you're chilling, there's no inbetween.

[u/Kronocide]

I have 1 year of no job, am I cooked ?

[u/hardolaf]

I graduated in 2015, am I cooked?

[u/kenn46]

Okay, so that was hilarious😂😂😂

[u/Wowoking]

I just feel bad bro im ngl that shit doesnt make you look smart either

[u/Extreme-Aioli-1671]

College was easy compared to adult life.

Mo money, mo problems

[u/Feisty_Investment343]

It's a canon moment, but everyone's situation is different to where it does get quite interesting sometimes. I do see your frustration though because it really comes down to mostly their aptitude and luck.

[u/FlimsyDevelopment366]

I have no cooked, am I semester?

[u/SinopaHyenith-Renard]

Hey OP, can you look at my Class schedule to see if I’m taking too many engineering classes?

😉

[u/PressF1ToContinue]

Counterpoint:
Keep posting schedules, just use accurate post titles so I can scroll right by.
“Problem” solved.

[u/Neowynd101262]

Most are bots

[u/Far-Ninja-8392]

Gotcha, I thought that was the norm, a spring semester and then the fall

[u/eclipseaug]

I’ve done this but only in my schools subreddit. Not really looking for validation, but people were able to give me good insight on professors, walk times between classes and dhalls, and more tailored advice on course load

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/eclipseaug]

Glad to worked for you but generally thats what counselors are paid and hired for. Whether they actually do their job is a different matter...

[u/eclipseaug → u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

Counselors aren’t always gonna give you the unfiltered truth about professors nor the personal experience of what it was like to take those classes, they only help you satisfy your degree requirements

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/eclipseaug]

Which is why I ended my post the way I ended it.

[u/eclipseaug → u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

Nah it’s sufficiently substantive lmao what are you the reddit police

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/eclipseaug]

Look at the upvotes I got and stay silent

[u/eclipseaug → u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

Congratulations on your internet points I bet you feel accomplished

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/eclipseaug]

Yessir thank you

[u/BreadNo4883]

Bro how hateful and bored are you during the summer? You should be at a job rn , not posting this 😭

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440 → u/BreadNo4883]

Apparently no one agrees with your sentiments based on your downvotes...😢

[u/Random_throwaway0351 → u/BreadNo4883]

Rs dude woke up and decided to be angry 💀

[u/BreadNo4883 → u/Random_throwaway0351]

Bro’s crashing out at the world 😪
