    Congrats! Make sure you have a backup plan because the universe/God/whatever will fuck you if it gets a chance.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    enkoujin, congrats, just remember to keep on top of your homework. And don't cheat unless they're forcing you to use Blackboard(TM).

    No it won't. Don't be a Debbie Downer because you fucked your own life up. Opportunities like that are only squandered by oneself through stupid decisions (playing MMOs all day and night, drinking to the point of alcohol poisoning, knocking up high-school aged one-night stand, etc.).

    There's no cosmic sabotage involved.

    I'm glad you've found the secret to the universe but you're wrong. You'er one of these guys who tells pro athletes they'll be millionaires so don't worry about learning how to read or getting a degree while they have a free ride at uni. For shame!

    Congrats enkoujin. Don't know why you were so worried about it. Good luck to you.

    I'm sorry. Usually I can follow your logic but this time you have to explain how you got that from what he said.
    Dreaming impossible dreams.

    The main point of my post was that he should have a backup plan. You should always have a backup plan in case the dream scenario falls through. Whether this be because of fate/poor planning/tides, it still stands.

    Yes one should have a back up plan. That much is a given and Ryllharu said absolutely nothing to contradict that. You however stated

    You of all people know life is suffering, so how can you doubt shit will get fucked up? Also, I said "if it gets a chance". If you don't have a backup plan, that's just encouraging the universe to fuck with you.

    You should know you cannot win this one because you didn't come correct. I covered all my bases.

If all else goes wrong with my studies, I can try switch to a different engineering major (probably civil or mechanical) if I really don't like chemical engineering, but that's unlikely as well.

    Thanks for the warning, Ani.
    Fuck it dude, you should go into petroleum engineering and get busy on those tar sands. There's gold in them thar sands.
