So I'm a journalism major... but it's impossible to get an A in that class. All I want to do is write songs (have I mentioned that since being at college, I've written 10 songs??). Being single is more confusing and irritating than fun. I miss my cat. And the internet connection sucks here

But on the plus side, I've found a great band to be all fangirly about, I've got amazing friends and lots of good memories already, and I'm having a lot of fun being a screw-up lol.

Anyone else want to share college woes, however minor or major they may be?

I'm having the best time ever (seriously) but the workload is insane. I'm going over to the law library in a minute (and it's nearly 10pm here) and I'll be up for a good few hours yet finishing my work for tomorrow morning.

But I love it.

I know what you mean. Athens is seriously the best town in the world. I have so much fun here and I'm really loving life... I'm just not loving school heh. Glad to hear you're doing well Felix! I haven't been on MdN in a while and I kinda missed all the needless drama and cool people, so I thought I'd make a thread

I felt that the lifestyle was a hell of a lot of fun, but the school part was just too much of a drag.

I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of my college situation since I complain about it all the time (just to give you the gist, my parents made me go to a certain school that doesn't have the right program for me and I despise all my professors/classes, especially in the theater department), and I just feel it's ridiculous my parents insist I go to a school this expensive where I don't belong and I could be getting a better education for what I want to do (musical theater) at a less expensive price and the same distance away.

This school has just really made me question my talent and if I will ever be good enough. I have always had tragically low self-esteem due to the extreme favortism and seniority that went on at my high school, and it's just gotten worse.

But other than that...I've had no trouble making friends, I've met some really great people. Finding a straight, good looking, non-creepy boy is impossible...but I'm not really keen on finding one here anyway if I get the chance to transfer.

Surprisingly, I don't miss home that much. I miss my cats a little and my friends that are still in high school, but I know they aren't that far away and I will see them soon when I go home in two weeks to see Beauty and the Beast at my old high school.

I've got a ways to go before I can be happy again.

Strangely enough, I just got on MdN to talk about how college is kicking my butt.

I feel ya, sister.

I wish I in class!

*sigh* I really do have a love hate relationship with college.

I love everything to do with the music department here. I'm enjoying my music classes immensely and my voice teacher is just amazing. Already within three weeks I feel like my voice has gotten so much better.

I'm frustrated by theater because I just feel like it's so hard to get into shows, especially because we're competing against grad students. And I'm even finding it hard to get stage managing jobs. And I need a bunch of production units to graduate so I might switch to a minor if they continue to be this hard to get.

My social situations continue to stress me out as well. I don't get how everyone makes friends so easily. I wish I wasn't so shy. I have friends here but none of them are anywhere near the level of my friends back home.

College: Kicking Alyssa Hansen's ass since 2007. WOO!

[~GertrudeMcFuzz~]

Oh, college. It's been a rough 2 months, especially with making friends and trying to adjust to living away from home. I'm a voice major and I know it's what I want to do, but I feel out of place, because everyone else is an opera singer and I'm...not. I'm a musical theatre singer, and there's basically no one who can work with me on it.

So yes, college is kicking my butt. And I'm very glad to have all of you to talk to about it.

On the upside (or downside, depending on how you look at it), I started a blog that will probably take up way too much of my time.

College. Too little practicing time and I am in for another stressful semester next semester.

[Beagle On Stage]

Y'all who are stressed should just, like, cheat. Life is too short.
