-- Posted by XOallixs0n at 6:32 am on Sep. 26, 2008 I just can't deal with it here. Everything goes so wrong all the damn time. I have no motivation to go to classes (I should be there now, but it's absolutely pouring and I can't walk to art with a canvas pad and newsprint and expect it to be in good condition when I get there and back. I just don't have the money to lay down for more supplies.) All my relationships from home are deteriorating. My ex-roommate is spreading around shit about me (ITS LIKE HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER!). Sometimes I just want to go home. I'm not a partier anyway, so wtf am I doing here to begin with? I just want to do well in life. and I don't think I'm going to do well when I'm here. You know whats funny though? Imagining the look on my mom's face if I tell her all of this. You're all invited to my funeral. -- Posted by La Motta at 6:33 am on Sep. 26, 2008 It ain't up to her, it's up to you. -- Posted by irish07 at 6:34 am on Sep. 26, 2008 Yeah me too I missed heaps of lectures and even though it's only 2 weeks into the first semester I'm completely lost. -- Posted by XOallixs0n at 6:34 am on Sep. 26, 2008 Quote: from LaMotta at 9:33 am on Sep. 26, 2008 It ain't up to her, it's up to you. it's up to her when she's kind enough to lay the money down for all of this. -- Posted by Dont Notice Me at 6:35 am on Sep. 26, 2008 yea i'm supposed to be in class too......but no motivation -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 6:38 am on Sep. 26, 2008 There are still immature people in college...an unfortunate truth. The purpose of college isn't to party, so it really doesn't matter if you're there and you're not.  The purpose of college is for an education, and living in the dorms is just nice because you're there on campus, and if you don't want to do anything else other than classes, then don't.  Just sit in your room.  No one will judge. If you REALLY don't want to be there, then don't.  But I do understand the thing with your parents.  It would devastate my parents if I were to quit college.  You could always find a medium though, like you live at home and go to a community college as either a part-time of full-time student. -- Posted by Duke at 6:39 am on Sep. 26, 2008 College is not for those who can't motivate themselves. It takes strength to get up and go to class and get the work done. There's no parent there to wake you up and nag you to go to school. The school is not going to call home to find out why you're not in school. Several of ,y friends flunked out last year because they lacked the maturity to make good choices. They couldn't stay away from the all night booze parties, and they were too messed up to get to class the next day. If you're not ready to get the job done, you're probably wasting your money. -- Posted by Micus at 6:40 am on Sep. 26, 2008 Something I learned once I got to college: A LOT of friendships won't survive the year. The ones that do, those are the keepers. -- Posted by RIMHfire at 6:49 am on Sep. 26, 2008 Yeah, I realized that it's kind of like a little more mature level of high school. But don't worry, it'll get better even though it might not seem like it. -- Posted by justbadnews at 6:52 am on Sep. 26, 2008 college isn't for everyone. stick it out a little while more and come up with a plan of what you'll do when you're not in school. that way when you present it to your mom she won't think you're an idiot and will probably be less likely to kill you. -- Posted by Natsy at 6:54 am on Sep. 26, 2008 people go to college to LEARN... i'm not exactly making a ton of new mates, but i'm not there to socialise, i'm there to get my A-levels. you need to stop acting like its the end of the world, listen to some upbeat fast music, then get your butt to class!! now!
