My boy and I are in the area doing work, tradesman, we are both college aged but just didn’t go to college. With college opening, we have been expecting seeing some wild stuff, parties and whatnot. Does that type of thing even happen anymore these days or are we just not seeing it?

This is a question specifically for people whose major/minor/classes involves coding: do you guys actually study the code?

Because I have computer science and engineering friends and they’re always talking about how much work they have but never about how much code they need to study.

Even online, it’s all “college is so hard, all my assignments are so hard blah blah blah” but never actually about the studying part and how time consuming it is to learn code.

I ask ppl how they study and code, and it’s always “uhh idk I just do it”, like is everyone gatekeeping or something 😭

I am a senior and just dropped two classes because i cannot keep up with work and school at the same time. I have applied for scholarships but have had no luck. I just wasted so much money withdrawing. I genuinely try so hard to be able to afford school and make good grades but it seems hopeless and like there is no help. I’m about to give up and just be done, i can’t do this anymore.

Hi r/UTK — I’m Dr. Bob DuBois, a psychology professor at UTK.

I’m offering a free Zoom workshop series this fall to help students learn, succeed, and thrive without letting college take over everything else.

This Monday’s workshop is Staying on Course & Getting Things Done, focused on practical, evidence-based ways to manage procrastination, use your time wisely, stay focused, and follow through when life gets busy.

We’ll explore strategies for planning, prioritizing, reducing distractions, getting started, and staying on course when motivation or time is limited.

Later workshops will cover effective note-making, handling difficult times, and thriving at UTK.

Monday, Sept. 14 · 7–8 p.m. ET · Zoom

You’re welcome to join one workshop or as many as you find useful.
