Damn, it just really snuck up on me this year. Summer went by too fast and I really didnt get a chance to do the things I was planning on, totally wasted the whole vacation. I just got back from Atlantic City and I feel like I should've been there the whole time instead of making it a last weekend hoorah thingy. My gosh I havent even bought books and crap. This totally suck big time, since I've become an insomniac over the break and now I have to find ways of getting my ass up @ 7.
 
haha, I share your pain. school starts on Monday and I've ben working and taking summer classes all summer...someone make time go by slower!
 
7 am classes? I'm sorry but that just doesnt register in my brain.

If your buying books...your in college right? You make your own schedule, get some later classes. My earliest class is at like 9:20, and thats REALLY early compared to my normal classes(like 2 pm)
 
My school messed up sending my transcript, so now I gotta go part time and just take a few classes at a college I hate (but has a rolling admission), before I can get back into a good college next semester.

Though, my tip for making college easier, go 3 days a week and take all 3 hour classes. At my old university 3 hour classes were the norm, so I'm not yet sure how plausable it to do completely 3 hour courses in the u.s. (I know there are a much lower percentage of them), but it's so much easier.

As someone who has been the in full time workforce for the last 6 years since getting my Masters, I agree with this wholeheartedly. I wish I could go to school for the rest of my life as opposed to actually having to work. School is cake compared to work. Get over it and enjoy your last years before coming into the real world.

Enjoy school and stay there as long as you can (not to quote Billy Madison or anything) - you'll never have the same social opportunities again. I'm 25 and enjoy working and making cash, but would love to go back as an undergrad. The best part about working is that you go home at 5pm and have no HW!
 
I have already been in school a week and spent the whole summer in school as well. Only sucky day I have is Thursday because I have to be at school from 8 until 2:30. It probably would not suck all that much if it did not take 45 minutes to get there (an hour with traffic)
 
I had an 8 AM class once... Failed it... 'Cause it was an 8 AM class...

8 AM classes are for assholes, anyway.
 
Oh you poor thing... just wait until work starts. Then you'll never get a summer/spring/fall/winter break. You'll spend the rest of your life working 40 hour + weeks trying to pay off the 40k in bills you amassed that will eventually cost you 80K because you're stretching the loan out 20 years. ... and then you die.


So stop bitching.


Jaykrue... stuff it.
 
boo-frickity-hoo. try working for ever and ever. i'd kill for a week off these days nevermind an entire summer. i've had exactly 4 days off since september 2003 that wasn't the weekend or a holiday. on top of all that, i have to be up at 5:30 a.m. every morning and my commute is just under 3 hours round trip. stop yer bitching.
 
Right now I take the following:
M-9:20am Biology 101
10:20am Public Speaking (almost typed pubic speaking)
7:30-9:30pm Analytical Geometry and Calculus
T- 8:00am Biology 101 Lab
W-9:20am Biology 101
10:20am Public Speaking
7:30-9:30pm Analytical Geometry and Calculus
Th-Online Intro to Philosophy
Course in a Bag (video tapes/DVDs) Intro to Sociology
F-9:20am Biology 101
10:20am Public Speaking

I also work part-time (usually go straight to work after Public Speaking then go straight from work to Calculus) on top of that. Nothing too hard (well except math and I suck at speaking too.) and I live across the road from the school. I have one more semester there in Spring. Then I get to have my bone graft and physical therapy assuming the tumor doesn't come back to get me again before then. Then off I got to a college downtown. I HATE downtown, it floods and traffic and parking suck balls!!! Also if the past few years worth of course offerings are any indication I will be stuck there all day and well into the evening. I also have a class that is only in the Summer, yet a degree requirement. I don't mind its just my scholarship only works for Fall and Spring so thats yet another student loan I will have to take out.

Then I get a real job and spend what seems to be my whole life paying back student loans, yay!! I won't mind not having a summer vacation (haven't had one in two years unless you count being forced to stay in a hospital for almost a week while your leg bleeds all over everything) as long as I get at least one day off once in a while.

Most of the people I talked to that work with computers (you know people with degrees not just a secretary) at MUSC or the County School District don't work on Sundays unless an incident occurs. The programmers at MUSC work 70 plus hours a week sometimes, but their networking engineers work around 50-60 and can do those hours as they want as long as they do them. The networking engineers take turns being on call so that if something happens at 1 a.m. they have to go and fix it.

I start my last year of high school on monday. I'll be getting my ass up at 6am everyday then going to work right after school until 10:30pm. On the plus side, Senior year is the easiest of them all.

I never knew you had to study to make coffee and give out hummers underneath a desk. What is that - a double major? Javology and Falatial Science? Doesn't that stuff come naturally to every woman - like breathing?

Enjoy school while you can. Even if you hate it, you will slowly realize that your parents were correct when they said your school years will be the best, easiest years of your life.

When you hit the real world, all bets are off...

As much as I hated school, I see now how life is a constant downward spiral. I really wished I had fucked around more in elementary and middle school, when it wouldn't have mattered. :wall:
 
I actually find working to be much easier than the difficult courses I had in college. Plus, college + shitty low-paying job was the absolute worst.

While I agree with you and wish that I effed around a lot more in elementary and middle school it all still matters. Every event in life leads into the next one and all of them together have led you to be sitting in front of the computer reading this message right now. I know if I effed around and didn't study when I was younger, I never would have done so well in high school and never would have gone to a good college and eventually law school. It all adds up as insignificant as it seems at the time. There's not too many people I know that were complete screw-ups when we were young that turned into anything of value today.

I never even skipped a class until college. And then I skipped a whole sememster ... :lol:

Really it wouldn't have mattered if I messed around back then, I would have gotten the grades anyway. I just wish I had managed to have at least a little fun while I had the opportunity.

Wow that's pretty good - I messed around most of my senior year of high school because I only had a few classes to go to (I was a nerd with extra credits). When I got to college I thought I would go a little crazy and I went a little overboard with my new found freedom - I was lucky to make it to 2 classes a WEEK for my first semester. The good old 1.9 GPA that semester didn't help... Nowhere to go but up!
 
Ive been homeschooled for the past 4 years. But boy i bet its gonna hit harder whe i go to college cause of not being used to the school setting and being used to just me being teached instead of 20 other kids. And donest it get up into the hundereds of people in some classes?
 
I also with I would have had more fun in high school... but, it was a pretty strict Catholic school where we couldn't even go outside for lunch or anything. I was mostly an A student, and that was with me sleeping in quite a few classes, and hardly paying attention. I wish I could have skipped some and had fun with boys. :)

And that strictness probably hurt me for college... because once I realized I could skip in college, I took it a bit too far in my first semester.

That's only for the freshmen level classes. This is known as the 'weeding out' period. People will be dropping and changing majors like crazy. By the time you get to the senior level class, it's about 5-10 ppl per class.

Well, it also depends on the size of the school too - my senior year I was still taking advanced major-specific classes with 50+ students... but some others had as few as 20.

Although I'm not in college, my schedule works out pretty nicely too. Our school has four classes a day, each 90 minutes long, starting at 07:50. I don't have a first period, so I can either walk to school at nine or catch a ride at eight. Astronomy starts at 09:30, then lunch, then Engineering Design and Drafting, then Speech until 3:10.

It's awesome.
 
Once you get to college you won't dread class as much. I've been back to school for about a week already, but I think I'm actually enjoying myself more now than I did all summer. Not having to wake up until 10:30 and only having class 3 days a week is great. :mrgreen:

And for the most part, the classes are usually interesting as opposed to the mindless, yet still so very pointless, drivel from HS.
