<p>I am taking the minimum of 13 credits required at my school and my school requires 15-16 credits to graduate on time. I feel like all of my three major classes tests always come on the same. I feel upset that I get average test scores or a little bit above average scores. I hate that I have stupid TA. I hate that I no longer get time to party and socialize with my friends on weekdays or weakened. I hate that I have to drive to school for 30-40 minutes every day to school and drive back home every night. I hate having to look for parking every day or being stuck at the parking ramp until 1:00am in the morning when you can freely leave. I hate the constant feeling of asking yourself, what is due this week? I hate that I cant afford to get my own place instead of living with my parents. I hate that I have to get thousands of dollars of loan money every year to finance my tuition. I hate that I have to work at this stupid amusement park. I hate the fear of the uncertainty of the future. I hate that all my uncle and aunts and siblings are retarded and only call me when they want something from me. I hate winter. I hate that everybody in college think they are superior to a non college attended. I hate the pressure of turning in a bunch papers on time every time. I hate that everyone thinks they are doing a hard major. I hate getting Cs. I miss watching house episodes and watching the cool stuff on Discovery and History channels. I hate the religious extremist preaching hate at my public university. I hate being average among the best. I hate the idea of dropping out of college and living paycheck to paycheck. I hate the idea that I might have wasted 4 years to get salary that I cant comfortably live on. And I hate that the girl I loved had to go to another state for college. Whats the cure?</p>
<p>Hang in there…u will not regret it…and do the things that u like…there will always be time for that…wish u the best of luck mate…just hang in there and everything will be fine…it will…trust me.</p>
<p>seriously? grow up</p>
<p>Go see a doctor.</p>
<p>Anyway, let’s see:</p>
<p>Class tests coming on the same date/week eh? So do bills, and failing to pay your bills is far worse than failing a test so consider yourself lucky.</p>
<p>Test scores: work harder, and if you’re working your hardest, realize that college is almost always a lot harder than high school.</p>
<p>TA: Can’t help you there. I agree that real teachers ought to teach courses.</p>
<p>Partying: Uh, why can’t you? Even the nerdiest of nerds at MIT find time to party. Learn time management while you don’t have real responsibilities man, it’ll help a lot later in life when you’ve gotta manage taking care of kids, work, bills and who knows what else.</p>
<p>Commuting and loans: That sucks dude. Are you going in-state? Have you considered attending a community college? As for the other money issues… get a better job. If you really want, do a full-time job and don’t take a full course load. You’ll take longer to graduate but hey, you’ll get work experience and money.</p>
<p>Collegiate superiority: You’re gonna find this at every college. As long as you know it’s not true it really doesn’t matter what they think. </p>
<p>Pressure of turning in papers: Again, try the pressure of paying a ton of bills.</p>
<p>Dropping out and living paycheck to paycheck: You don’t have to do that if you drop out. Go to a vocational school, learn something like HVAC repair or carpentry. You probably won’t make six figures but you won’t be in poverty.</p>
<p>So basically, the cure is to realize that 1) this isn’t as hard as the real world 2) in general, work harder and you do better 3) if you stop caring about what other people think in regards to your educational progress, you’ll probably find it a lot easier to take a lighter work load and also work a decent paying full time job.</p>
<p>Life’s hard… it’s not all one big party. You need to set your priorities straight and realize that until you get organized and get things on track no you won’t be able to “party” and see your friends. In the real world life isn’t one big party if you expect to make anything of yourself. You’re not alone in that boat so the self pity won’t get you anywhere. In college you (usually) have to work for your grades and if your grades are sucking chances are you’re half assing.</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s any way anyone can respond constructively to that rant. Just Smile.</p>
<p>College isn’t just one big fun ride; for a lot of people, it’s a reality check. In HS they tell us we’re special little snowflakes (sometimes this mentality continues if you go to a small LAC) but most people are not. You’re getting “average to above average” grades - that’s not bad. If you’re taken fewer classes than average, you’ll have to deal with a harsher workload in the future. I’m guessing you’re working part-time and it’s hard to manage with a college workload? I understand you have loans, but you’d be better off in long run if you worked reasonable hours during the school year, got good grades and had more social time, then got a good job after graduation to pay back those loans. You can also work longer hours in the summer if needed. College itself is really not that hard (unless you’re in a major completely wrong for you, like someone who hates math/sci studying engineering, etc). The hardest thing is learning to balance your academic life with work and a social life. Also, that “stupid TA” probably aced college with a full courseload and made it to Grad school. :)</p>
<p><em>Edit</em> ** WAIT A MINUTE** - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/814106-i-go-casino-instead-studying.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/814106-i-go-casino-instead-studying.html</a> Hahah i cant believe I tried to give you rational advice and felt bad for you…Newsflash: You have a problem, you’ve gotten good advice already, get help. You’re failing and miserable because instead of going to class, studying or having a life, you spend your life in the casino. It’s pretty obvious what the “cure” is.</p>
<p>^hahahaha you’re the casino kid? You’re fcked mate</p>
<p>
TL;DR. What did you do, type this up in Microsoft Word and paste it onto every forum you ■■■■■? The weird apostrophes and quotation marks give you away.</p>
<p>In any case, you’re not very original; Maddox did it much better on his site. Get a grip, man.</p>
<p>damn that’s a lot of hate.</p>
<p>btw i had to drive 30 minutes to and from high school every day.</p>
