I actually already transfered which is most of the reason I am having so many problems. I started out at a small school called guilford college in greensboro, NC and It's supposed to be a lot like evergreen. I didn't like it though, hated it infact and felt trapped so I took a year off to travel and ended up transfering to the university of oregon where I am now. all of my credits transfered but not as what they were supposed to be (evergreen wouldnt even take half of my credits so it wasnt worth transfering there plus the whole anti grade thing and going to graduate/ med school) so I have to take chemistry again and I'm in a spanish class that is too easy but at the same time It's a second year class and I've never taken college spanish so they wouldn't let me in a more advanced class. I've discovered that it isn't guilford and it isn't u of o that I dont like, it's college in general. I'm not interested in frat parties or getting wasted and stoned 24/7. I'm interested in learning and helping and if i want to help I need to put up with college and get a degree so I can actually do something. It's how the system works. You can't do much until you have a piece of paper that says you are educated even if you didn't learn anything. Even if I went back and got credit it wouldn't be credit that would count for much at any school, empty credits, what would they count for? At evergreen or at U of O? English, math, history, biology,...? Nope. Another reason why I'm unhappy is that I don't have any friends here yet. As a transfer student in the dorms I'm older than the freshman who live there and haven't figured out that life doesn't revolve around them. I wish there was a simple solution but there isn't. Either I drop out of school and join the peace corps or go back to the orpahage in peru and have a hard time finding a job/ making any money ever or I stick it out and be semi miserable here for a few more years... Thanks though, I apriciate the suggestions and happy thoughts!
