I’m currently a 3rd year College student working on my Bachelors in Theatre arts. I’m taking a base of 17-18 Credits which actually translates to 31 hours of class a week due to Theatre. I work 22 hours, or more, a week to pay for this school so once homework is added in I have over 60 hours in my work week. Who ever said working full time was hard? What I really want to know is who else is this busy with school?

I’m a Costume Construction emphasis actually so I haven’t acted in any plays. (Don’t do acting well.) This term is really wearing me down because I’m draping for our production of Midsummer Night’s Dream. I’m one of four people constructing the 7 fairy, 7 blessing, and 4 spirit costumes we have in the play. So far it’s been coming along great.

Hey there. Since college in my country doesn’t have the major/minor system, I only study one subject – history. Well, technically, you can get yourself in the so-called “two-subject” studies where, as the name says, you pick two study courses but they are both on the same level, albeit each a bit smaller in size compared with the “one-subject” studies. So yeah, some stuff is very interesting, some isn’t, it depends from person to person. For example, I can’t stand learning 20th century history because I’m fed up with hearing about it, oh, every single day. But give me the early new age (Imperial age etc.) and 19th century and I’m a happy bird.
First part of the studies last 3 years, then we can choose two ways to complete the last 2 years.
Either the “professor” course, where you get what you need to teach history in school and whatnot or the “science” course where you choose one of four things: Old history (prehistory, antiquity, etc.), middle ages, early new age or modern history (19th and 20th century). Personal goal, get to the early new ages science course, but I wouldn’t be dissatisfied with being a professor either. Luckily, I’m only the second year so there’s a bunch of time to decide still.
Good luck to all of you on your studies

I’m a freshman taking prerequisites at community college to save teh spondulicks. Currently in the process of having any enthusiasm I had for various subjects siphoned out of me. There is is a way to go about systematically studying a subject (in a short period of time, with Grades at risk) without a lasting bad flavor, right? Am I just being a ninny?

@Carissa +1 to that. Don’t settle! I’m not going to get into my undergraduate self’s drama, but the short version is that I did settle and it made my undergrad experience so much less than it could have been (which isn’t necessarily to say that I didn’t love it in its own way). I’m in graduate school now and I love it, but it can’t really replace what I failed to garner from my undergrad.

Don’t settle. Keep searching until you find what you love.

Oh boy oh boy. I’m 18, second semester, going to school in my hometown (I’ve never lived anywhere else), and really hating that I’m not at my dream school. I got into my dream uni (Boston University), but the price tag is too hefty. So I’m studying political science, taking just prereqs really, and extremely fed up with all my classes.

I’m in my third year of archaeology studies. I’m putting emphasis on human osteology. Museology is, right now, my minor. Been thinking about going for another major and a whole other university after I get this degree done. I’m having some motivation issues here and I can’t seem to specialize in what I want in my own country so it feels like I’m at a dead end anyways.

I’m finishing up my 4th year this semester. The worst part is that I have no degree to show for it. I went to a community college for 2 years but I had a lot of problems with Math so I was 6 credits shy of graduating. I was sick of being there and just transfered to the cheapest 4 year state school in the area. Big mistake doing that. I hated the state school with a passion. The teachers gave nothing but busy work and I wasn’t learning anything. I stayed 3 semesters before I finally threw in the towel. Looking back I wish I hadn’t bothered to go back for the 3rd semester. I said screw it and transfered to a private 4 year school. I had some poor grades in the state school (a few C’s) so not everything transfered. Sure, I doubled my tuition and had to take out a crap ton of student loans but I’m much happier. To me that’s worth it. I’m going to be here for another 3 semesters (assuming everything goes according to plan). So in the end 3 schools and 5.5 years for my bachelor’s in Business Management. It’s frustrating but I just have to deal with it.

I’m currently a 2nd year Honour’s History major, but I’m leaving university after this semester to attend college for my Library and Information Technician program certification. I really hope I can handle it. honour’s history is really light course work. Five course (though I am only taking four this semester) averaging 50-70 minutes 2x a week, and one paper a semester along with a midterm and a final compared to 8 classes a semester, 2-3 hours a week, plus assignments. Due to the ridiculously high cost of residence and meal plans, I’ll also have to get a job on campus. I’m a little ill at the thought

This is my fourth semester in college and my first semester as a music education major. I play clarinet. I’m thinking minoring in German but my clarinet teacher is trying to talk me out of it. I’m probably going to be in school a lot longer than I anticipated because it took me so long to figure out that I should just study something I love.I’m not totally immersed in the music program yet so I’ll see how that goes first.

I’m 20, and I just finished my second year of honour’s history at university. I’m basically quitting university due to it not really being in line with my goals. Also my program is crazy pants, but that’s a whole different story I want to be a librarian, but I am perfectly happy being a library tech too so I’m going to go to college to be a library tech and we’ll see if after that if I get into graduate school for being a librarian. Not a big deal if I don’t. I love what library techs do too.

Heya. I’m a 3rd year double major in Political Science-International Relations and Arab Studies, with minors in Leadership Studies, and in US National Security. Take the maximum number of classes which equals 20 hours per week. I work 4 jobs to pay for my family and my schooling = about 40 hours per week. I am also battling cancer. This is finals week and I am going insane with the amount of work I have to do, and the lack of sleep i’m getting. Along with school and jobs, I have a dance competition coming up, which I have to practice for, my fraternity committee, Track meet coming up, I have to run 2 conferences to plan, a video to make, and planning to go to the Middle East this summer.

Sorry for the rant! The internet is very helpful with relieving stress, along with watching the Volgbrother’s videos!
