thanks.
the only thing is is that college is rubbish, the workload is ruining my relationship with music, already in the the second week i think im gonna have to get out. its turning the thing i love into a stressful thing which i dont want to happen. i dont know whether to try and stick it out, or whether this is one of those times where i've got to make a decision. ive been really thinking about leaving, then working really hard for a year, then taking a gap year, or 6 months to go travelling and see some of the world (i hear you got a boat that i can borrow charlie), cos at the moment im just not happy for some reason. any views, or helpful things, or abuse from charlie is welcome, i just feel stuck. i dont really want to tell mates or family that i want to leave cos i was talking college up saying how good it would be, and i will look stupid... more stupid. adam -------------- a dove is a glove, that i wear on my heart, and though i like to dress smart, it doesnt have any part in the world of fashion. |

P, lil bro everybody feels that way the first few months. Stick it out.
We have a show here called "Tommy Lee Goes to College. Even argueably the best drummer in the world is having a problem with the way a university handles music. Just goes to show you... Now I do think Tommy is probably having more fun than you. Having infinite money does change things. -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie | |

i dont know if i even want to stick it out, i dont want to waste another 2 years of my life, i wasted last year goin back to school for sixth form, from that year i got D,E,U, yeaaaaaah, well worth it. i wish i'd of just got a job to begin with, but i thought i would get an education, but i dont want to any more, its just stress that i dont need. i might just be a hippie, or a hermit or something...-------------- a dove is a glove, that i wear on my heart, and though i like to dress smart, it doesnt have any part in the world of fashion. |

C'mon P, just do it. You won't feel like you wasted it after a time. I was drafted during my first year of college and never made it back. You don't wanna grow up to be a dumbass like me do you?-------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie | |

Hey Pritchard, I got C,D,D U, and had to beg Bangor Uni to let me in. They did, and it was the best 3 yrs of my life. Plus, my job is exactly hat I wanted. The moral is, I didn't get great A-Levels, but they didn't prevent me from doing what I wanted to do. -------------- each to their own |

Pritch...hang in there. It's 2 years that you won't regret when you get out and can have the job, time and money to do what you want to do. Without the degree you have to work harder for less money and the ceiling without a degree is much lower. Trust me I know. I started college and went for about a month and a half and was bored and dropped out and haven't gone back. I'm now almost 32 yrs old and working my butt off. I'd love to start my own business and get out of the ratrace, but after at least one unsuccessful attempt I must admit a few years in college might have helped me out in that area as well.
You're still young...hang in there and do your best for the 2 years then you can do what you want, how you want, when you want. |
