-- Posted by GRINDHOUSE at 3:11 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 So almost a year of college I realized this: Fuck being a journalism major. I'm going to get my BA in English then transfer over to a graduate school in either Cali or New York. I want to get my masters in Screenwriting & Playwriting since, writing plays & directing them is the only thing I excel well at. I wish I didn't waste a whole year though on BS. -- Posted by mash4077th at 3:12 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 wright a book -- Posted by snoopyloopy at 3:12 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 Quote: from GRINDHOUSE at 3:11 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 So almost a year of college I realized this: Fuck being a journalism major.

I don't know, be an English teacher? -- Posted by noraa at 3:14 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 Congrats! -- Posted by Acid World at 3:15 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 Take Lard's advice, I'd go straight to a school in LA or NY. Do some student film projects and network, in that industry it's better to start as soon as you're sure thats what you want to do (rather than waiting till grad school). -- Posted by Stand Up at 3:21 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 I don't think you have wasted a year of your life, it could be helpful in the future. -- Posted by Imbetter at 3:21 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 Quote: from seargentkitty at 5:13 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 What is my life going to be?

I wouldn't be able to pay the tuition though. I pay (actually my parents) pay about $500 a semester, the rest is bright futures (a florida thing),scholarships & financial aid. If -- Posted by orangehatboy at 3:26 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 try writing books. -- Posted by GRINDHOUSE at 3:29 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 If I went to LA or NY now, I would be have to take out loans and stuff. And I can definitely wait and see how English goes. OR I could go to Palm Beach Atlantic Unviersity which offers a major in Screenwriting/Playwriting but its a Christian University. -- Posted by GRINDHOUSE at 3:30 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 Quote: from orangehatboy at 3:26 pm on Jan. 23, 2008 try writing books.
