Dialoguing with myself

Mar 06, 2006 16:15

On my walk home from the bus stop I had a brief chat with myself about school and my lack of commitment.

This morning I slept in a half hour and then half-assed tried getting ready so I could leave for class on time. About four times or so I decided "no, I'm not going to go to class" when I realized I still had time to make it if I really rushed. ( Read more... )

Uni is hard, especially if you have never had a lifelong dream to be something, its hard to know if you are where you are meant to be. Are their any job that could come out of your studies you think you would be happy in? There are quite often some spin off jobs that might be more interesting than those that are more directly related.

Originally I wanted to go into law school, but I find it too dry and my marks aren't high enough.
I was thinking teacher's college, but again, marks. I don't know. We'll see where I can go!

Omg Hailey ... I could fully see you doing some sort of advertising job (13 going on 30) ... your creative, you have a thing for fashion... your always taking pictures... seriously I really like that idea... why don't you look into taking some courses at a college... they are usually more specific and then you can see if that is what you like and my godmother works in advertising maybe I can talk to her for you

ps you didn't make the wrong choice ... YORK sucks... and I'm totally on the same page with you .. and you were totally speaking on behalf of so many of us! it sucks doing such broad topics for what??? hmmm grr... only 1 month of killer torture ... then Punta Cana baby!!!!
hang in there lol ... oh shopping thursday, dancing friday... I cant wait ...wash these worries away.. at least for another night

I'll work for Cosmo and be on their marketing team. That would be fun!
My dad and I were talking and I'm thinking about possibly going to college after I finish my degree.
University sucks because unless you're in like, engineering or accounting or something, whatever you're taking (i.e. English) isn't really going to get you far.
I can't wait for this weekend. Sadly I have a huge essay due in the next week, but whatevs!

Welcome to 3rd year! Here's a rant ( ... )

Oh hun, I can completely relate to you on SO many levels! Also, just reading your entry made me realize how many other of my friends are feeling the same way.("recently I've been getting the impression that it's not the university that's making me dislike my studies, but the fact that I just don't like university"). It also is so frustrating b/c we're all questioning ourselves- "is this what I really want to do for the rest ofmy life (the program we're in)" & b/c we're in 3rd yr, I know my parents are like, "well, you have one more year, just finish it", but I find myself struggling so hard to even want to go to school ( ... )

I'm an OAC graduate. Originally my dad was trying to pressure me into graduating high school in 4 years, but I knew I would have flunked out by now.
I've talking to my bf about this and friends too, and it seems my feelings about university aren't unique and that a lot of people feel this way. It's just so stressful knowing that I AM in 3rd year and I have nothing to do pursue when I'm finished my fourth year.
Anyway, best of luck to the both of us, eh? I hope everything works out in the end!
