Then you simply tell them the truth. You tell them when you first got to college you were so excited to be free from your parents for the first time that you basically went overboard on the partying and exercising your freedom to not do things you should have done and your grades suffered from it. Then you tell them you learned your lesson and matured and now have improved in that area and look to continue improving.

This type of thing can go a long way. Everyone wants to paint the picture they are perfect in interviews but being honest and being someone an interviewer can relate to because a lot of people(including me) went through the same type of stuff at that age.

At the very least it shows them you recognized your weaknesses and set out to correct them, which a lot of people dont do.

You can't be serious. This is an F student you're talking about.

Sounds like a plan, my dude. My grades this semester are gonna be pretty good so there's a first step. I'm also still looking into summer housing/plans/all that good stuff. I'm hoping to take 3 classes.

I already have leadership on campus. If I have that, my degree, personal projects, and work experience you think I'll be alright when applying to jobs? If I don't have the work experience but I have technical personal projects will that work too? The internships are what scare me the most tbh.

Pretty sure F students get kicked out of college so I doubt this is true.

When I interview people, I see their personality 1st and foremost followed by real life work experiences.

The degree just ensures a person passes through my HR initial interview.

To be honest, it's been decades since I even checked a person's GPA, all I ever see is his resume - make sure yours is tip top for any interview.

I definitely will keep improving my resume. My music teacher asked me if I could build him a new website and he'd give me some free lessons if I did. So that's a definite yes, it's a win win for me and him. Web Development seems to be big these days.

He has a mix of F's, D's and W's in his "major." He has some passing grades mixed in from basket weaving and intro to mumble rap to keep him afloat though.

 

[DEEZEDBRAH]

Okay, here's the thing I'm worried about though. My grades have been sh*t for several semesters now. Like it's been baaaaad before you guys got on me and helped me raise my grades. I hated school, and didn't care about those classes whatsoever. Idk why I didn't.

Pray for insight.

If you lack performance at work, they fire you. Likely, your education is not a passion nor interest for you.

Now I'm doing better of course, and I'm making summer plans as well, but that doesn't erase my Godawful transcript(and pitiful GPA that will take some time to resuscitate, but I'm pretty sure that it can be done with my extra time at school.)

Get your STEM degree. Move on.

When I apply for internships will they ask for my transcript/GPA? If they do, I'm fvcked and I'll have no work experience once I graduate because they'll never ever want me. Do I just lie? Do I suck it up and apply anyways? Any other ways I could get work experience? Just knock on peoples' door such as Papa_Smu suggested? Of course, I could enter my own personal projects in competitions too. Even just developing/finishing them would look fire on my resume. Posting example code to GitHub. But any idea about what I should do to get myself out of this hole that I've put myself into?

Likely, all internships are with higher GPA studebts unless you have a talent, skill or some 'it' factor the employer is seeking.

 

[DEEZEDBRAH]

I feel you on that man. And I had definitely considered that issue. Luckily, I thought of a way to circumvent it. All I need to do is get one tech job. Even if I'm working for free. Like @DEEZEDBRAH said, they don't care about GPA. And even if they do, all I have to do is get one Tech Job. Then, they'll ask "what was your work experience?" Instead of "What was your GPA?" And then my college blunders will be erased from my life and I'll be free to do whatever I want.

Build programs. Start a portfolio. Keep anything substantial and use to demonstrate talent and skill beyond GPA which isn't a accurate indication of intelligence.

About redpill quoted by the Dr.

"There comes a point in everyone’s life where they have to stop and take stock. And sometimes that picture isn’t pretty. The Red Pill ethos is seductive because it plays on a person’s desire to be special, to be told that he’s uniquely special. It validates both his victimhood and his anger. It casts the world as your enemy – a world of hypergamous, emotional sluts, jealous AFCs and pitiful manginas, all of whom are conspiring to bring you down because they resent you just that much. Admitting that you’re wrong, that you’ve been tricked, is hard… even more so when you have to acknowledge just how much damage you’ve done to others."

What's Wrong With "Taking The Red Pill"

What is the dark secret behind the Red Pill? How a philosophy of hate masquerades behind the fascade of masculine self-improvement.

I think Dr. Nerdlove and TRP both have valid points. I learn from both: Dr. Nerdlove doesn't really get down with all the lifting, frame, hypergamy, texting for logistics, using money to attract women, and so on so forth. Both are good resources.

I have two pending dates this weekend. All after my finals of course.

 

[allancc3]

What kind of a college has "finals" in April?!? None that I know of.

The kind where we start a week early so finals are between April 26 and May 3

Quick School Update

My next journal update was supposed to be on May 5th. But since my first final is tomorrow, I wanted to give you guys a quick academic update. I'm doing way better than I expected in Databases. If I can make an 80 or higher on this final, I'll make a B in the class. If I don't, it'll be a C. So I am guaranteed to pass. I'm aiming for the B, of course. So I'll be studying my ass off today.

Summer Classes & Apartment
I'm well on my way to setting up Summer Housing. Ahead on the deadlines and all that. I called them again today to make sure everything is set up. With these summer classes, I'm gonna kill school and graduate. The rates are pretty good, all utilities included too. This summer, I will definitely take Design of Algorithms and Discrete Math II. And then I can either take a Computer Science Elective(Video Game Design seems pretty cool) or Object Oriented Programming. I'm still thinking about which one I want to take.

What I'm Struggling With
To show you guys that I'm not doing an image preservation thing by updating less frequently, I'll talk about what I'm struggling with. My priority now is graduating and getting my education. But there are some mornings where I wake up and I'm like "fvck I don't wanna do this shyt." All the deadlines, running around, stress and so on. I used to deal with this by taking timed video game breaks and playing dope ass music to get me up and moving. But the effects of that are lessening even. It was all I could do to get out of bed yesterday. I feel better today, but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that in the long run.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

See you guys on May 5th.

Redpill is almost mandatory today because the provider male model has been exploited.

I agree. I know Nerdlove doesn't like Red Pill but honestly if you don't use it you'll be ignored and/or used by women.

110% they will use you and fvck someone else. Its mandatory. Screw a white knight. They know nothing.

I think my clicking point was the whole texting for logistics thing that Red Pill advocates. I decided to ignore them on that and give this girl a ton of nonsexual attention to "get to know her." It blew up in my face spectacularly and she started just ignoring me. So I text 90% for logistics now and I don't validate women either. Then the rest of Red Pill just clicked, kind of.

That's what the Bad Boys do lol. Women complain all the time about guys not texting them back but the guys who aren't texting them all day are the ones fvcking them most of the time I've found.

I also like how Red Pill is brutally honest about how important looks are... which is why you need to lift and dress well.

Redpill accounts for feminist programming. Women have been trained to USE the traditional gentleman and good man. The original man programming has been compromised, exploited, overrun.

Yeah man... I wish I could drop the act and just connect with women. But in this day and age if you're not constantly using Red Pill tactics you'll just be used for your attention/resources while she sexes the Bad Boy who ignores her. Which is why we need the Pill

What I'm Struggling With
But there are some mornings where I wake up and I'm like "fvck I don't wanna do this shyt." .... but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that in the long run.

1st minute.

Everyone who is trying to improve will face the struggle of the voices inside saying 'it's hard' or 'I don't wanna do this today'. Buy you, and I, and everyone else who wants to make it to the goals we set has to ignore those voices and make the choice to be great. You know when you're making excuses. You know when you're wasting time. Make the decision to be better than those things. It is hard. Anyone who says improvement isn't hard is lying to you. You're rewiring a part of you that's fundamental to your being. You have to stick to the plan and believe in the plan. The tortoise beats the hare. The tortoise is consistency. Even when you don't feel like it. Don't sprint when you feel like it and rest when you don't. Take steady small steps to reach your goals.

Make the choice the be great. Every second of the day. Thanks for the post, needed the reminder.
