i think you should just grind it out. im in college also and i personally dont like it that much, but im thinking for the future. my suggestion is that you finish your years in college and it will enventually pay you back. if your having problems with the family you should try to handle it to the best of your ability. if it doesnt work out you could still go to school and live at a dorm. and trust me you could still have lots of fun and still go to school.
hope you make the right decision!
hey dude im kinda in the same kinda situation im at a 4 year university my 1st year and i completely hate it. i dont know what i want to "be" when i grow up im in a band and its one of the only true passions i have. anyway i really want to do something crazy like move somewhere cool for a while and live on my own but at the same time every tells you you have to be in school. it sucks, but keep tokin :jointsmile:
i'm in the same spot, going to a community college, working at a crappy job, basically hating my life right now. But once i graduate i'll be able to get a decent job and start working then start having my fun. Community college is cheap and college is not worth getting in debt over, get a degree then get out there and get a job, find something you like that you can earn a decent salary, dont get down, just look forward to weekends and blazing, stay focused on school and work and in the end it will pay off
if your heart is not in the semester, you might not have a real good time keeping grades (you also indicated as such). Since you are going to make the decision I'll give my two cents on either course.
If you choose to stay in school, train your mind to not look at school as a stepping stone to something grander, but to look at it as a fun opportunity to enrich your mind and your awareness of others and their cultures. Make learning an activity that you consider not a requirement for a good grade, but a way to forget your problems and focus your mind for its own sake. Asking questions and making comments in class are good ways to make the course more personally valuable to you (not to mention helping your grade). I'd take a wide variety of classes so you can discover your niche. It's pointless to devote your life to a specific area only to find out you hate it. Continue puffing, but do it as a reward for finishing homework.
It's a good idea to take a break, too. But not to take it easy and sleep in. Get up relatively early, do activities of your choice, and especially try new things. You might find that something you do in your discretionary time might make you discover a passion that you want to focus on in school. I discovered that I wanted to study botany by having a hobby grow in my closet. If you do take a break, make solid memories because either way, you're young and in the best time of your life:jointsmile:
it seems like part of the reason you're miserable is because you're allowing yourself to be. you can get a different job, like a server or some other well paying job so you don't drain yourself. if your parent's house is stable and not psychologically draining, stay there. you'll be able to save money so that you can eventually support yourself. and stay in school. a college degree is pretty much a requirement today. and if you're miserable with your school career, why don't you start taking courses that interest you?
do what feels right man.
life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets ,so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance , take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Hey guys yea I was looking over the responses and I appreciate all your comments. I think I'm gonna throttle back on the classes and enjoy life more cuz fuck I'm gonna die one day anyways. Might as well enjoy myself! Peace =)
