People that saved me There was one older guy (who i regret not talking to more) that pointed out that "arbetsmiljöverket" (department for work environment) would never approve of the conditions where were subjected to as students. Once after we were asked as students to suggest improvements they...

Can issues can be fixed? They have already changed so you will learn more maths before returning to physics again (60 points instead of 30). The issue with lab reports shouldn't be too difficult to fix, i dont think it's fair to burden post-docs with having to go through lab reports. They could...

Online education is superior When you study online you have total freedom to decide what to study, at what pace and who you are going to listen to. You can download ebooks online to read. People make youtube videos that are superior to typical university lectures...

It stops being fun Even if you initially had interest in the subject the constant stress and requirements will typically change that and it might kill your interest in a subject you loved. This will depend on the pace at the university but the issue here is that if they take longer time to...

Constant stress When you enroll at a university you subject yourself to constant stress, in addition to the exam there are often other moments you need to pass like writing reports and if you miss just one moment you will not get credited. So it will be difficult to relax since you have this...

The general issue with higher education is that it is too specific, instead of you learning a wide range of useful skills you focus only on a single topic. It is however very unlikely that you will properly remember what you were though and also be able to properly use it. Given this...

Most people who become victims of problem gambling are men. Men are also more likely to die early due to doing stupid things (due to testosterone). https://www.businessinsider.com/women-now-control-more-than-half-of-us-personal-wealth-2015-4?r=US&IR=T

What i did wrong I didn't properly research what to study and the order, i trusted the system and got burned by it. Here is what i should have done 1. study more maths first before going into physics, i did it in the wrong order. 2. forcing myself to do lab reports instead of researching...

My degree Physics: 45 points maths: 120 points Bachelor Thesis: 15 points (mathematical physics)

The issue i took was that they didn't properly cover a lot of topics becuase of the quick pace and we wasn't properly tough the maths required for it. I wasn't studying physics to become some low level post-doc slave I was studying physics because i wanted to better understand our universe...

Issues with the lab reports were they didn't properly teach us how to write them and whether or not you passed (and your score) heavily depended on who graded the report no unified standard for lab reports so we had to guess what they wanted. If they didn't pass you on your report you might get...

General Relativity maths Your best best is probably to read some ebook you can find online. https://www1.maths.leeds.ac.uk/~serguei/teaching/gr.pdf https://youtu.be/foRPKAKZWx8?t=556

What my exam results indicate What actually worked was studying and thinking and attenting all lectures. Doing calculations didn't really lead to better score on the exam. I passed an exam in discrete mathematics that a third of the students failed even though i was just writing the first exam...

Mass-psychosis There was a lot of fanboyism going on where we were telling ourself "this university is great" when the reality was the exact opposite of that, it wasn't "great" at all. I once made the delusional comment to someone "it's not about what they teach us it is that we learn to think...

I dont trust testimonials, i want to see pictures for myself before i believe it. I have noticed that a lot of trans individuals simply have a very different standard than me as what counts as a good result, i think they are coping (reality denial). I heard you can still get erections after...

I later tried doing a course on differential geometry but i missed the first 1 or 2 lectures, got too far behind and it was too difficult, i decided to drop out partly because i no longer had any cheap way to travel to the university. I want to pass the advanced quantum mechanics exam, i should...

Episode5: switching to the math department. I decided to properly redo the mathematics the lund university had just rushed over, i did attend all lectures but i didn't do anything more than that, i passed both exams and got credited 30 points. I continued the studies (passing everything with...

Episode4: advanced modern physics During this one year period it was only the advanced quantum mechanics exam i failed (got 40% twice) but still i only passed two 7.5 courses despite (of 30 points in total), it was the lab reports that failed me. I did fail the solid state physics exam the first...

Episode3: Quantum Physics & math Now a year had already passed since i started studying and i had been doing well so far, this was about to change. In a period of about 5 months we had to learn the following Quantum Mechanics Statistical mechanics Calculus with several variables, (30 points at...

Episode2: math We started learning math we should have been though before going into classical physics. This was done at the mathematics department which was managed far better, i cannot think of anything bad regarding them except for the fact that they are not really focused on teaching stuff...
