Schoolerbros...

oh no the birthrates are gonna drop even lower

Take foreign language classes.
- you are forced to talk
- age skew young
- good gender ratio
- usually ambitious, either for school or work
- usually more open-minded
People meeting their gf from language exchange tandem is not just a meme.

People have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams.

Nobody cares about anything anymore.
Nobody wants to get together anymore.
Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.
Nobody wants to do anything anymore.

Collages don't have girls though.

unironically didn't speak to anyone in 3 years the entirety of attending for my undergraduate degree

>>33470172 (OP)
Yes zoomers are the most socially retarded generation in history, this is known.

>>33470172 (OP)
technology and social media ironically made us anti-social

>>33470172 (OP)
social media distorts peoples view of reality and even themselves. A girl 50 years ago could be completely humble and motivated and kind, but the same girl today probably grew up with hundreds of guys hitting on her online and now her egos all jacked up and she's all arrogant and messed up in the head thinking she's something she isn't from all these weirdos and is just a total snobby bitch. I seen it happen to my sister. She used to be really humble before social media. She showed me her inbox one day of all the guys trying to talk to her and that's when I realized why she's so snobby and egotistical and so worried about her "image" when she's a literal nobody in reality. People today are too worried about what others think of them to be social. Their too worried about their reputation and how things look to a bunch of people they don't even know and never will know.

>>33470226
You don't get anything for doing anything anymore so why bother. Zoomers are only in college because they're going through the motions of what they've been told is a normal life. They all know they'll be lucky to get an actual job after graduating, and even then it's not going to pay enough to allow them to be independent. Of course this doesn't apply to literally everyone but 90% of zoomers are in this scenario.

>>33470574
At this point I feel like college is a shit test to see who will actually fall for it and the real challenge is consciously turning away and paving your own way instead of participating in the rat race.

>>33470172 (OP)
That's why Schooler is gone, he went back to school and realized that not even there do people talk to each other.

>>33470172 (OP)
first of all
>collage
second, that sounds like the average college classroom.
Especially in the first semester or early on in the semesters when you're stuck in a classroom full of strangers and still making sense of everything including what the class is even going to be.

I don't know what sort of uh "urban setting" that OP's redditor's friend used to teach at where they were used to walking in to a class with paper airplanes flying everywhere with kids dancing on top of desks with a giant 1980s boom box blasting in the back, punk kids rolling dice with the greasers in one corner of the classroom or whatever nonsense he thinks college used to be like

>>33470471
>She used to be really humble before social media.
For you argument's sake I hope you and your sister are both in your mid 40s and actually got experience your youth in the 90s before social media

otherwise your argument is "my sister became a snob when she turned into a teenager" which is par for the course in any generation regardless of social dynamics and technology

>>33470279
I talked to a few people, but made 0 close friends, 0 parties, 0 clubs, etc., during my 5 years. I just played video games, smoked weed, and skipped 50% of classes. One of the biggest regrets of my life. Thankfully, I have learned how to be social again.

>>33470172 (OP)
Yeah that was my experience in college. I had a lot of great experiences in extracurriculars but for the most part never talked to another person in class unless I was forced to. Half the time I only showed up to class for exams if the professor uploaded all their lectures online. When I was in class, before it started everyone just sat on their phones with headphones in and left the minute class ended. The only people who spoke up and contributed to class discussions were always the small handful of extroverts.

I witnessed complete strangers meet and become friends over the semester, gradually talking and socializing more and more, but from my observations this was rare enough to be notable and memorable. There were instances where I became sociable with lab partners for example and generally had pleasant conversations but there was never a single instance of someone saying to me "You wanna get lunch after class?" or "Hey we should form a study group" or "You know we have an intramural basketball team, you should join" or any of that other Hollywood shit. I guess I just wasn't cool enough to get invited to stuff

>>33470172 (OP)
Thank evo psych & darwinism talking points for becoming mainstream that even 13 year olds are aware of female nature, hypergamy n shiet. Men don't wish to approach women as they'r either redpilled or blackpilled on female nature and think that women are merely going to use them for validation or as a back up if chad pumps n dumps them. Women don't approach men because they only like chads or are scared they might get ACK'd by an incel who she friendzoned.

>>33470172 (OP)
as a millennial going back to uni, it's so incredibly cringeworthy

like, I'm the last one in the world to be a teachers pet. fuck nerds. but when the Spanish 101 teacher is asking for a basic conjugated verb, of any form, to fill in the blank in a sentence? total silence for one minute, ninety seconds, 2 minutes.

it is like insanely embarrassing. why even go to a class where no one gives an answer? i try not to answer everything but it's insanely numbing to have the teacher frozen again and again and again because no one will answer basic stuff

like then those stand and deliver/dangerous minds type of students would not have waited patiently blank faced in class instead of saying something

>>33473926

Did....you ever say that to anyone...?

>m*lllennial
No one cares unc. The professor is supposed to give a lecture, not conduct his gay little Q&A to kill time and force engagement out of his students. As long as you ace your exams, the prof. can stick his
>muh engagement
up his puckered little asshole. The students that want to pay attention likely will.
You don't go however many burgerbux into debt to make friends and socialize, you're there to get a degree.

>>33474583
Are zoomers really this sociopathic and antisocial?
Imagine how the corporate world is going to look like with a bunch of people like anon working there.

Uncs really be making a whole political position over getting insulted on 4chan. Dead.

How does this prove him wrong? if anything it just shows how bad things are getting
College was literally the last place where you could make new friends from scratch as an adult

>>33470172 (OP)
How true is this image really? I went to school for two years and dropped out and at times feel very grateful that I did given how fuck shit the job market is and how these people will really waste thousands of dollars for some measly degree in HR or fucken accounting. Hell I know someone who is near 30 with a bachelors degree in accounting living with their parents doing DoorDash. I literally have a more steady job than them and I’m a college dropout. Make that shit make sense lol. I feel you have to majoring in some shit that matters to even make it.

Depends on what you're studying

Scams

Not scams

There's no point going to college if you're not pursing a good major. Just start working directly.

>ITT: example #956312 of 4channers and reditors being antisocial losers and extrapolating that to the rest of society

Or maybe it's just that bad in America. I've been in schools in France, UK, Italy and Australia and people socialize and make friends just fine.

>>33474730
MDR j'espère que t'es pas français parce que les facs en France sont littéralement des cimetières sociaux

>>33474739
Non my frog friend but I heartily disagree with your assessment. French girls have sex as a way of a friendly greeting. You want anti-social, try Czechia.

>>33474729
I really like your insight and I absolutely agree with everything you said but quick question.

What makes law a scam? I’m not interested in law as a career but I am curious

>>33474729

what???

>>33474583
>As long as you ace your exams
I'd make you arrogant little twats fail so hard 30% of you would kill themselves. I told several zoomies to fuck off already who wanted to write their thesis with me as the corrector. You tell those brainless turds exactly what to do and they still won't do it. Any amount of work is wasted on these robots.

>>33475100
Nice try oldie, midwits exist in every generation.
>nooooo please engage with my class pleaseeeee
>What? NoNoNoNoNo you can't just learn something new by just listening to a stream of information without me forcing you to repeat it on the spot like a parrot
>Huh?? You aced another exam? But how? You literally didn't work with anyone, answer any of my questions in class or didn't form any study groups? Hell, you didn't even invite that cute girl out to lunch. Are you Einstein or something?
>AAAA I can't take this anymore, I just want to see people in my class to tallkkkk instead of me having to do my job and teach them, ughhhhhh
>That stacy sitting in the front row hasn't even been hit on once, how is this possible? Don't tell me you're all here to just complete your course and nothing else? What about le heckin college sexxxxxx?
Cope. Seethe. Dilate. Rope. In that order.

Lawyer income has an extremely non-gaussian distribution - it's nowhere near a bell curve, 99.9% of lawyers make < 100k/yr and eat ramen noodles while struggling to pay off their student loans like any other liberal arts major, 0.1% make $1+ million and live on cocaine.

>>33474574
>Half the time I only showed up to class for exams if the professor uploaded all their lectures online
I never once claimed I wasn't part of the problem lol. I should also note that I was a commuter, so I have no idea what dorm life is like for today's college kids

>>33474680
I think that image is part resentment honestly. Americans will spend all day complaining that they can't get a job and are stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in debt, but won't dare come to the conclusion that the current education system is a scam

>>33470172 (OP)
Zoomers are a doomed race

>>33470204
this. the only place where i had people actually talk in my classes were the language ones. probably because everyone that was there wanted to be there not because of a requirement. the teachers also actively tried to get everyone to talk to each other. japanese classes were where i found friends in college

am millennial, krautfag.
moved to a new city for university and was genuinely hoping i'd meet people there who'd have similar interests to me, based on our shared choice for an undergraduate degree (economics). maybe even start a business together or something.

nope. the only people who talked with each other were people from that city who'd already known each other since childhood. only talked to people when they asked me for directions or help with the university's learning platform because for some reason people always peg me for someone who speaks english (which is true but how the fuck can they tell irl kek). i stopped going to classes after the first month; the lecture's contents and exercises were all available online and i don't need someone reading it aloud for me. plus i'm most efficient in my studying when i'm sitting at my desk at home listening to lofi playlists. universities in germany don't have clubs so no way of socializing that way.

had enough of school after a year. i'll switch to an online degree and work on the side and dabble around with a few business ideas.

>>33470979
yeah schooler definitely roped himself. school was his last lifeline and it turned out to be a lie. ivy league lobbyists are trying to get more people to sign up to school by promising that they'll get 6 figure jobs AND pussy there. R.I.P. der schooler

>>33470453
in an interview of a pediatric psychologist, she made a point about how children no longer get to socialize irl. in the past kids from the same neighborhood would randomly walk up to each other in the park or at a playground and start playing together. that's mostly gone now. though i've seen such antisocial patterns in students/young adults for 10 - 15 years, not just 5 like the reddit post suggests. boomers just want to cry about how scary the pandemic lockdowns were.

So you’re what 29-30 at youngest? Might be the reason you can’t find many younger friends at university.

>>33470172 (OP)
I think people are forgetting that socializing is generally shit. That's why no one wants to do it.

I love you random anon. I will definitely check this out.
