NO sheet! the last 2 years of HS were the best 2 years of my life. I'm about to head to my 3rd College, and hopefully finish it all off there. I miss Highschool so badly. The swiss alps were amazing.
I'm with you and Uprising on this... High school was 10x better than what I'm going through here in college. I just wanna finish and get out of here.
What's wrong with College? I had to drop out due to money problems, but am definitely doing everything I can to continue, working almost 24/7 to save up the cash. I'm following my heart this time and going to study Classics! Not sure about the job prospects with that one ....
You guys that are hating college right now...rofl Just wait when you get done and have to work a 9 to 5 type job for 40 plus years - you will want to be in college pretty much every day of your life.
Manny, tell me about it. I had to drop out at the beginning of the summer for this academic year, but am doing everything possible to get back in! I've been working 9-5 for the past 6 months or so, and I really do understand what people mean when they say that University should be appreciated! Truly, it might be a lot of work at times, but you get extended periods of chilling out time and the times you do have to work it's doing something that's usually much more enjoyable than real work. Unless you are very lucky and get that dream job, University is probably as good as it will get!
Not everyone that does what they love ends up tring to be a musican or sports star...I personaly think if you like some thing soooo much odds are you're a driven person and in turn you should be good at it, so why not try to do what you like? Just because you think that the industry you want to work in is saturated you shouldnt give up, you dont want to be that old guy/gal talking to young people saying "I could have done more with my life"... My point is if you're happy only doing certain things no matter how hard you think it might be you should at least make an atempt at it, you'll live a much happier life because of it.. So you could have picked something you loved GAME WARDEN, but you chose to pick a job that will afford you other things that make you more happy then not doing the job you wanted.. I think that's what lots of people do, but I don’t think it should be labeled as "you have to do what you have to do" it’s not like you would have starved to death by being a game warden… You could have picked a job that you would have enjoyed more, but didn’t because of the monetary incentives... I don’t think it's crazy for people to follow what they feel is right, it might not work out the best, but it can have HUGE rewards.. I think it also comes down to how much of a risk taker a person is.. I picked something safe that I really enjoy doing, but I gotta admire people that really go after their dreams and give it their all even when it’s something abstract..
BS in Applied Sociology. I made a real mistake my last semester doing an internship that sounded fun (and was) instead of something that would help me in the real world one day. Big thanks to Major for saving me for the last 5+ years! But, that may all be ending soon and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. The new company I'm working at is a fast-growing company that seems to have room for substantial growth, I'm just not sure how long that will take. I may be heading back to soon school, either to law school or to get a degree in accounting or something.
It gets better. For your sake, I really hope so. I had a friend was a big baseball player Back in high school He could throw that speedball by you Make you look like a fool boy Saw him the other night at this roadside bar I was walking in, he was walking out We went back inside sat down had a few drinks But all he kept talking about was Chorus: Glory days well they’ll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye Glory days, glory days Well there’s a girl that lives up the block Back in school she could turn all the boy’s heads Sometimes on a friday I’ll stop by And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed Her and her husband bobby well they split up I guess it’s two years gone by now We just sit around talking about the old times, She says when she feels like crying She starts laughing thinking about Chorus My old man worked 20 years on the line And they let him go Now everywhere he goes out looking for work They just tell him that he’s too old I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the Metuchen ford plant assembly line Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall But I can tell what’s on his mind Glory days yeah goin back Glory days aw he ain’t never had Glory days, glory days Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight And I’m going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it But I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture A little of the glory of, well time slips away And leaves you with nothing mister but Boring stories of glory days Chorus (repeat twice)
Went to school on a music scholoarship (trumpet) and was a Music Education major. Then I realized I didn't want to teach and was getting more and more interested in the tech field. I majored in Comp Science for one semester, then quit and I've been working in the IT field ever since! Now I want to go back to school to become a pharmicist, but I know that is really just a pipe dream at this point.
classic!! double major in anthropology and psychology with a minor in spanish. i run a wine importing company and use my degrees from the University of Texas on a daily basis.
I can't believe what I'm reading. How could anyone not like college? I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Just wait until you get in the real world. It's all downhill from there. Have a nice day. SHSU, right? Who did you study under? McChesney?
BFA in Theater Minors in English, History and Art History My degree plan called for 126 hours to graduate, I ended up with 190 hours, I just liked taking classes that interested me, whether they were part of my degree plan or not.
crazy kids i HATED high school and enjoyed my college years. now that there is some distance there i can say it was the time of my life. its all downhill after college my friends.
Completely and totally off-topic, but I thought of you while reading RS the other night. They have concert reviews in the back along with little snippets from various people in the audience. They had one for the Cream show in NYC and for some reason, the guy's quote made me think it was you. BTW, I'm with drummer on this one. How can anyone hate college. I wish I had been on the 8-year plan.
