My cousin is 13 and she's sexy as hell and also quite intelligent. And drinks beer. Win.
I'm missing money for alco, but true is that I have a lot of free time now, today I'm waiting for results of entering exams to get to uni, I really hope I got there because the campus is sexy as hell, a lot of bitches and three pubs in the areal, and they make their own beer too. It just fucking rocks.

I remember I once asked my english teacher (from Chicago iirc) what is this major/double-major bullshit and I tried to understand the system of US unis but I never cared enough to remember. In US you go to the uni and then decide what your fields are? That's like pokemon on nintendo tbh. This uni I go to is Czech agriculture university and there are various departements and you have to choose one before you even sign there so it's more like a school in a school rather than one big school where you choose what to do later.
Thanks ma'am, still don't know the results.

Usually you choose a major after your first year. Each major has certain class requirements but you generally have some flexibility.

I've been considering things like exercise and fixing things around the house that I've been putting off for ages. My god what is happening to me?

All the schools I applied to asked me to declare what my major was in the application, and at UNLV the orientation groups were based on our majors, but either way you generally start out taking mostly general ed classes.
@ Onder:
There are multiple Colleges inside a University. At UNLV there's the colleges of Liberal Arts, Architecture, Business, Education, Dental Medicine, School of Law and so on to name a few. Within those, there are different majors (i.e. Liberal Arts has Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, English and so on).
There are general education requirements that everyone must fulfill, College specific requirements, and then obviously major/minor requirements.
Anyways this is all based on what I've seen so far, but yeah. And there's definitely a lot of flexibility the first year or so too.

So technically if I were to be doing the same thing that I am doing now but in the U.S, I would be in the School of Engineering and majoring in Chemical/Process Engineering?
Makes sense now, but I've heard of alot of students doing a minor as well in something completely unrelated to their major. That would make things a little bit more interesting.

Then I would be majoring tropical agro on agro university.
And here you can go to as many unis/departements you want.
Yeah, what do you do for living? Because I do nothing, which makes it even worse.

Yeah that's gotta suck. I'm a cable guy. I install people's internets, so they can find the true meaning of existence as I have.

Black girls, beer, AIDS, + the uni has nicest campus in Czech, so I will just bore myself to death in those gardens.
EDIT: You know, it's funny because I'm not interested in agriculture or my pals or anything, I just sometimes enjoy doing stupid decisions that will give your life a twist or something. I don't really care much.

Ok yeah that's fucking dumb. I'm pretty sure you can give your life a twist without wasting a ton of money on a random education like that, but hey whatever works for you.

Orite, socialized higher ed >.>
How does that work anyway? Do they give you a certain number of years to go to school before you have to pay 'out of pocket'?
Doesn't mean you're not wasting any money, of course - someone has to pay for that shit. But if you don't care what you study and don't have to pay out of pocket then I guess it doesn't matter what you do.

Yeah thats pretty much exactly how it would work, and yeah you could get a minor in pretty much any thats offered, though its best to try and get it related to your field (i.e. I'm planning on a Criminal Justice minor with a major in Psych).
And a double major, at least where I am, is getting two majors from the same college. Two majors from two different colleges is double baccalearuate (however thats spelled), and means that you have to fill the College requirements in addition to major requirements.
