i know how it is. im pushing myself through it all though. i graduated from high school in 2004 and started school that fall. at this end of this semester i will be a little ways through my senior year. i have been busting my ass taking classes every chance i get.

right now im taking 6 classes(18 hours). i also work about 30 hours a week.

sometimes i feel like quiting, but i stick it out. all i have left is this semester and next, then 1 elective and my mandatory internship this coming summer. then ill graduate at the end of summer.

wow find that hard to do in 2 years, what are you taking 36units a sem. lol :nono:

If you think it's bad now wait til you graduate and make it to the real world.


I WISH i could go back to college. Compared to know it was such a stress-free time!

I was in the real world out of high school and finally am back in school now. It's way better! Especially since I don't have to use up all my otherwise-free time working a ****ty job :nice:

I'm a freshman...eek!

I'm feelin' ya. It's been hard for me to adjust to college. I'm the kind of guy that didn't have to study much in high school, and now I'm busting my ass to catch up. ****!

Same here. the bookbag never came out of my car and i had a 3.8 gpa in high school. Now their assignming me all this bs, and its really getting on my nerves. But I'm learning I got to study a little bit, so its getting better.
 
I managed to finish in 4.5 and at times I thought I was going to pull my hair out, but I made it through with ample amounts of caffeine and a lot of late night high speed drives out in the middle of nowhere. It felt so awesome when I was finally done. Now I'm thinking of torturing myself through a masters program :-(
 
Yeah I kind of screwed myself in this semester....as soon as i skipped my first class it has been a downward spiral...i started skipping them all the time and in one of my classes im up to the amount of abstences...and then dont get me started about work too...i work at a party store and it is halloween season and it ****ing sucks
 
i feel ya, i used to be really stressed, but not anymore. my email is deanhupalo@aol if you wanna know more lol, im not allowed to discuss it on the boards, but nothing illegal so its all good. College can be hard but theres a quote that says "this too shall pass" so just give it your best shot and before you know it you'll be graduating.
 
i went to east carolina university for 2 1/2 years and i hated it. so i left and now im at nascar technical institute. its great, not really. all the interesting classes are out of the way until i start the nascar stuff. but im done in march

I had a friend that did that, now that she is out in the real world she regrets it.......
 
i have a few jobs lined up in the law enforcement field so that is good already.

im not much of partier, so there was no need to just take my sweet time. im ready to get a good job, marry, and have a family.

to each their own i guess.
