college
 

Hey guys. This is my first post(not reply) in OOT. So, I was looking for some advice, and for a laugh. So, I am a freshman at carnegie mellon, my declared major is math, but I had intended to double or switch into computer science. I have in the past seen beauty in programming, but I saw some ugly [censored] over thanksgiving break when I had to work through tons and tons of code to ultimately give up on fixing a problem that couldnt be identified. This made me hate, for the moment, computer science. My love of math is growing, since I stopped playing online poker because I suck at it, but own live. I have also been getting more sleep. I am now thinking about making my second major physics, instead of comp sci, because I like it, and my pops says physics is about to go through a revolution that math went through a while ago. I'm staying in school instead of going off to a monastery or some [censored] because I'm good at math, but otherwise, I lack deep value of anything, including people, money, school, life, etc.

so, what say ye?

ADD is a beatch. both in reading posts, and me staying focused at poker online.

Re: college
 

If you are interested in logic and abstract math do comp sci. If you are interested in calculus do physics.

I am good at, but sick of calc. I like logic and game theory. I love number theory and theoretical math.

If you double in Math and Physics at CM, you're face will explode.

Statistics? Operations research?

did you go to cmu?

Sorry, the correct answer is the last option, but should read Taco Bell instead of Burger King, so that you can give OOT the hookup on TB.

Yeah, ADD pretty much screws your chance for success. Go to Taco Bell.
