Title: Incoming Freshmen
Post by: GregKSU1027 on August 12, 2016, 09:02:30 AM
What's up goEMAW? It's Greg and I have been wondering if you all have any do's and don'ts for my freshmen year whether they be things I should do in the MHK area or tips for class? Seeing as how kstate has only said go to class and root for the cats.
Anything is helpful also happy Friday.

If you take decent notes in class DON'T buy books unless you need them to do homework assignments. Most instructors cover everything in class.

Find some place that you can show up to early for a dinner special and have beers.  We used to go to some shithole north and east of the stadium for $5 steaks and $5 pitchers.  Never carded us once and we usually ended up staying the whole night pounding pitchers.

If you have to take out money for loans it is good to start working on the principal before you graduate.

Have fun and all that, but if you can grab a little skrilla on the regular to put towards your loans, future Greg will thank you.

Some student loans don't accrue interest until 6 months after you graduate so, in that case, it would make more sense to put the money in an interest bearing account until you leave school.

Even if you don't need loans, if you qualify for the kind that don't accrue interest until later then you can take the money and put it in an interest bearing account. Just make sure not to spend that money and to pay it off real quick after graduation.

This is good theoretical advice but likely wouldn't provide much net benefit and for people not great with money would probably backfire.

I did this my last year and immediately put it in a 9 month CD.  I graduated, cashed the CD, immediately paid back the loan, and gave myself a $550 graduation gift.  Of course, interest rates were higher then.

This is much better advice than all the stupid don't go into student loan debt BS spilled at the beginning. If you're worried about wealth this will help you out infinitely times more than some low interest debt with cushy payoff options will hinder you. one caveat being that if you're an idiot who won't ever have a significant income no matter what you do then avoiding little financial pitfalls should probably be your focus and even going to college could be one of those.

along those same lines, make it a practice to go into each professor's office hours 2 or 3 times during the semester.  if you have a legitimate question, great, if not, come up with some course-related BS to talk with them about.  I've found that getting some 1-1 facetime with professors makes them far more willing to throw you a bone at the end of the semester than if they really don't know who you are at all.  this also makes them willing to write you letters of recommendation should you ever need one.

Generally yeah. But I got all A's and only 2 B's in all of college and I did my best to sit either on the back row or as far back as I was allowed to. I hate being close.

Very true, if you just sort of get to know your professors, or at least say hi to them without brown nosing too much, they are usually more amiable.

All engineering is a grind - a routine with like minded folks is the only way I got thru it

Do advisors still try and say engineering is a 4 degree?  I strongly advise you don't try and do that, plan on 5 years with a couple of summers in MHK (maybe the best time to be in MHK) and get a minor (business is easy but I kinda wish I did a foreign language). 

It will cost more but college can be the most amazing time and you will have 40+ years of working to pay off the debt and buy crap.
Title: Re: Incoming Freshmen
Post by: Emo EMAW on August 17, 2016, 10:46:26 AM
For engineering I found it helpful to make friends and consistent study partners.  I'd plan my classes with my friends to make sure I wasn't taking it by myself.  And I'm not saying that your friend A should be friends with friend B, just have a few different ones and there is a good chance at least one of them will be in most classes.  Then you guys will do homework together.  If you do it right half the time you'll be more of the tutor and the other half they'll be tutoring you (we all have different strengths/weaknesses).  And tutoring may sound poopy but it helps you learn the material better, especially when others challenge your thinking.

Flash forward to real life, there is a good chance you'll interact with some of these people in a professional manner which will be many more times important than getting one letter grade better on some stupid class in college.

I work in the marketing department of an MEP building systems firm. One of the things I have learned from our engineers here is the value of good internships. Freshman year might seem early to start looking at interning, but nothing gets a resume thrown in the trash faster than weak or non-existent work experience / internships. Also would be a good way to get a summer in a big city paid for.

I'm pretty excited for internships especially since most of the internships that I have heard of in CIS are with big corps like Microsoft and you spend the summer in Seattle or Boston.  That would be so roughridin' cool guys.

Dream big but with internships often times getting the first one is really hard. Don't be discouraged if you don't get interviews offers from Apple, Microsoft, Google etc. The goal is to get your foot in the door. When you go to career fair of course talk to them, but you're going to need to be very good at your "elevator speech" and have a resume that shows lots of promise. Like if you haven't already participated in HS or out of HS in robotic competitions, have been to coding competitions or something like that, you're going to get overlooked pretty quickly by the big dogs. The thing with CIS is there are lots of super coding nuts out there, so you'll need to be constantly challenging yourself (if you haven't already) at getting better at computer science. Therefore, especially freshman, and if nothing comes along sophomore year, don't be afraid to go to smaller, less desirable at first glance companies. For one they are attracting fewer people so you have a better chance of landing the internship, but two you might find that that place is awesome and screw Google/Apple/Microsoft. Even if it is pretty shitty, you'll only have to deal with it for 3 months and on the flip side you get relevant work experience and when you go to Google/Apple/Microsoft the next time around, you got something that differentiates you from the pack.

Also, be attentive in classes for internships, if you can't get one via the career fair(s) sometimes professors have professional connections and will just basically ask the class if you are interested in an internship to apply for the job/interview through them. That's how I got my first internship that was at Westar. And using that I was able to get internships at the company I now work at and in general enjoy more than my time at Westar. But, I can thank Dr. Pahwa for telling his Circuit Theory I class that "hey if anyone wants an internship come talk to me" and like 2 other people and I went up to ask for helping me get my foot in the door. Beating out 2 people is much easier than beating out, well, hundreds if not thousands.

Finally, when recruiters ask "what kind of classes" etc. that you are taking. Don't say "CIS 209" or "Circuit Theory I" and list them off like that. That's useless. Say "I'm taking Circuit Theory I" and then describe what that class teaches you, and in particular bring out what is relevant that the class teaches you in relation to the company you are interviewing for. Also, emphasize team projects you are on and have an answer for how you'd deal with a team member who wasn't getting their job done or was being a detriment to the team. Ultimately for all jobs how you interact with others ends up being more important than how you actually perform at your job at a technical level. Companies will train technically deficient team players, they will not train you to be a better person. And as a newby to pretty much any job, they are going to train you anyways on "how to do it our way" so there's that.

I'm sure everyone will have different opinions on this, but I would suggest taking the time to really enjoy tailgating your freshman year. If you buy student passes, buy GA tickets. Head into the game right before it starts. Just enjoy the fan experience outside the stadium to its fullest. 

Then, every year you attend KSU after that buy ICAT, and stand in line for hours in order to be front row. My friends and I did this and it was some of the most fun I had as a fan. When you can heckle a football player to the point he avoids standing in front of your section it is a very rewarding experience.

As far as heckling goes, keep it classy. Don't cuss or be too simple. Eat away at their confidence, or give them a silly nickname. If they have a first initial pick a really dumb thing for what it stands for. If his name is "T. Smith" call him Turd Smith all game and mention loudly how something smells terrible every time he is around. I also enjoyed yelling "PHONE!" every time the phone rang and begging the coach to put in the third string qb because "he is so ready to play!"

Greg, ICAT is the biggest waste of $ of all time. Build yourself a brand like "Silly willy" (paint it on your chest) and ppl save you a front row seat while you pak your face off until the very last minute before kickoff. Ppl wanna be on tv, so they'll let you in. Don't waste a single minute out in the parking lot. GA is the way to go.

This is my opinion, but I got so incredibly spoiled being front row 50 yard line for 5 years. Those same tickets on the non-student side would bankrupt me today. There is no experience like it. But if you want to go sit in the corner so you can hear the band in their new section better. . .and never be able to truly tell how many yards we gained on the opposite end of the field or if a field goal was good over there or not. .  basically just watching the jumbotron the whole game. . . and know no matter how loud you yelled, or how funny it was no one but the six pakd people around you heard. . . be my guest.

Also, if basketball turns its crap around, you will want to be in ICAT. The GA basketball section is lame as fu**.

I'm not going to recommend u start doing roids but at the same time I'm not going to recommend that u not do roids.   I mean if I'm perfectly honest with u (and I am), I think u could make the argument that the pros outweigh the cons.

Don't do roids, yet, Greg.

This is making me almost cry because i miss college so much.

Was an engineering major, didn't take a lot of hours each semester (12-15) to keep the GPA in a good spot.  Going to take you 4.5-5 years anyways.  That extra summer between the 4th and 5th year also gives you another chance at a great internship.

Use going out and bingeing as a reward to yourself not a crutch.  I used wanting to go out wed/thurs as motivation to get all my sht done.  Worked wonderfully.

There's no justification. Either you don't realize how truly damaging it can be physically and mentally, how common it is for someone to have at least be assaulted once, or you just dont care. Or perhaps it's happened to you and you're trying to make light of it, in which case I'd recommend therapy.

If you still think it's funny, yd too, I'd invite you both to give it a try. Share your comedic tale with us afterward.

Just to be clear that was a real serious piece of advice for Greg. I do not want him to rape anyone.

I am sure that Brock Turner's friends didn't think they needed to tell him not to rape people. So I am hoping that if Greg ever gets into a situation where he is really intoxicated and about to rape someone, that maybe jusr for a second he thinks about my advice and doesn't proceed with the rape.
