I only registered for 8 units last semester and I guess I needed to fill out some paperwork to attend school part time. Now they are watching my ass. eek!

I'm scared I don't want to die if I got kicked out of school I would have to commit seppuku to save honor. oh_no


Not really I would prolly just get really drunk and have to move out. Fuck me. crying

Yeah dude but this friend of the family who is actually related to me because it turns out her son is actually my dad (I didn't know my real dad until I was like 19) is paying for it. That's like $5,000 a year she is forking over (financial aid covers the rest, I'm gonna be sooooooooo in debt) every year so I can attend. I feel guilty for slacking off these past couple of semesters and I want to change my major so I'm going to be like fucking 24 when I finally get my degree.

Is that bad? How the shit are people finishing college in like 4 years? Fuck that and fuck me, I'm scared. What the hell am I going to do... tickled

I'm a 22 year old junior with an AA degree, how bad is that or is that normal?

I graduated at age 24 too. Long story short: sex, drugs, rock n' roll.

Why would they want me out though? Shit, someone who forks over $5,000 and misses a shitload of classes and takes shit for units means less work for them. I still get good grades too, A's and B's so what the fuck...

Anyone else here graduate late or think it's kinda normal to be an undergrad at age 24-25 if you are working on the side? My confidence in my school work has been kinda shot lately because I see all these fucking nerds taking like 20 units a quarter and studying a lot and shit and it makes me feel inadaquate and like a slacker or something. I've never studied a day in my life and I get by with B's and C's so how the fuck are these people putting in like 20 units and studying and stuff?

Sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong like college to me isn't what it is to everyone else or what they say it's supposed to be (learning a bunch of shit and studying 24/7). To me it's just the same old school shit.

Like take today for example. I walk into class and sit next to this chick who I thought was kinda hot the previous class (turns out she looks a lot worse in the light, I didn't want to change seats though). We start talking and shit and she asks me if I was reading the assigned books (professor wants us to read like three 200 page books a week...fuck that) and I was like NAW and she just looked at me and said "So are you getting anything from the class?" and it got me thinking like what the fuck am I doing wrong? During class I look around and I see everyone writing like made taking crazy notes and I have like 4 sentances written down and a bunch of useless shit scribbled everywhere. The chick who I thought was hot was checking me out all class so looking like a badass mofo sitting all cool and shit was more important to me. I'm still going to get an A or B in the class so what's the point? Why is it they work like that to get an A yet I'm fucking around and satisfied with a B? Is it really worth it?

I guess I just wish I had a greater passion for learning but I don't. I want to be book smart but I'm not motivated enough. I guess the bottom line is I thought college was supposed to be about learning stuff so you actually come out ahead but I find it's the same in one ear and out the other shit that you listen to for the time being to pass the class. Is the degree all that matters?

Fuck I got issues...

Not to mention last week when I went in to talk to a counselor about switching my major. She looked at me like I was a fucking idiot asking how long I was planning on staying at that school. I was like "I want to be out of here in two years" and then she saw I was on unnaproved part time last semester and then she just fucking sighed and talked to me like I was your cliche 20 something year old loser with no job living at home.

Sometimes I wonder if the degree is worth it if I'm not fucking learning anything. If I wasn't so afraid of what my family would say I would quit school, move out and get some $40,000 a year job and go from there.

I feel better now. very_ang

you know feel good i think this is the most serious thing you've posted usually it's: "i walked up to this bitch once, and i was like 'shit yo!!!!" i commend you for this man i really do,

now as for your problem i don't know what to tell you. seems like your morals are kicking in, you want to slack off but since your grandma is paying for it you don't want to let her down. there's not much to do in this situation you're damned if you do one and you're damned if you do the other. but think about this, bartending, it's a hell of a lot easier than going to school, you can pick up chicks, and you good money(if you work in a really hopping joint you could make like $300 a night in tips alone) so just think about other alternatives they're all out there.

Goatse Man:
Seppuku is the shit! buttrock
Yeah it is dog but I dun wanna die. :(

I think I'm just messed up cuz this girl I've been trying to get with since before Christmas really isn't in to me like any other girl I've been with she kinda casts me aside and I've never been turned down before so I don't know what the hell is going on. Crzy bitch is always hanging with her girlfriends partying and shit so either she plays the hard to get game like a fucking pimp or she really isn't in to me.

lol like I have the right to complain. I got two numbers the last two days simply because of the fucking music I was thumping in my ride. I gotta bust loose tonight cuz school has got me thinking...

But shit that girl is playin me hard. Not looking for a serious relationship my ass... :mad:

you know feel good i think this is the most serious thing you've posted usually it's: "i walked up to this bitch once, and i was like 'shit yo!!!!" i commend you for this man i really do,
Thanks dude, I like to play. Very rarely do I have to get shit off my chest but when I do I usually just spam the shit out of my own thread bitching and moaning to myself and it makes me feel better. buttrock

Damn, FeelGood if I would of saw this post I would be like the 2nd person writing in here. That's exactly my situation right now. Also my dads piss too.

I'm 22 next month and I'm a junior now too because I suck in school. I drop class, fail classes, retake classes and last semester was my first semester at this school I going to now. I'm a multidmedia art major and my family hate arts. I should be done, but I'm not. I also don't know what to do, and if I do graduate what the hell am I gonna do after that.

If you do go on a killing rampage, i'm in...or i know let's travel to japan and die of hunger because i can't speak japanese and i don't know anyone there....YAY

lol dude at least you know what you are studying. I'm all over the fucking place. I want to design clothes for a living but I'll be fucked up the ass if I know how to go about getting into that shit. What the hell am I going to do with a degree in Art if that doesn't work out or I would prolly have to go to some expensive as shit private school for that and I'm sure my family would LOVE it when I tell them I'm going to major in art/design or whatever the hell it would be. I'm switching my major over to finance or economics or something just to take the safe route because the university doesn't offer a business program.

But I'm with you dude, I have no idea what I'm going to do with my degree or if it's even going to help since I'm not going to learn anything. My only consolation is the percentage of people that have occupations that are in no way related to their degree, well over 50% I think.

If we are going to Japan to die then you can starve, I'm going to sleep with as many cheap sluts as possible until I get some strange disease and die.

That's the only way to go my friend. Seppuku in da house...UNPROTECTED SEX STYLE!!!!

Well, I totally suck and my GPA was 3.7 last year but it is 3.4 this year. I incresed my smoking to about 2 packs a day and I have head aches all the time. I smell like smoke but I don't care. UI then read my books on Friday nights and I never go out or have any fun doing anything. I do get cheap thrills messing with some of the board members now and then but that is about it. frown

I was on probation for a semester, but then I pulled out 3 As last semester and now it looks like my ass is saved. I don't know, man. I found something I like. Most people probably think I'm a fool to be majoring in philosophy, but it's saved my life. I can't do the test shit. I'm terrible at studying for stupid tests. Philosophy is all about knowing the arguments and doing papers which I am really good at. I hate to do work, but when they give me a paper I am forced to read carefully through all the material to make sure it comes out great. It doesn't even work the same in English classes. The teachers get all snotty about shit in english classes. My philosophy professors make me feel like my ideas are actually good. So... yeah the only thing I can get As in is philosophy. I have 6 As in philosophy classes and 6 As total.

Well I'm sympathetic to you, basically, cause I know if I was going for what you are I'd probably be not doing well either. You know, though, if you have one good semester it can really turn things around. What if you could get all As this semester? If you have 2 years to go still then there's plenty of time. Would help if you liked your major....

So what am I going to do with philosophy? Professor. That's about all you can do WITH it.... I hope I get some really hot idea and get published too.
