  • Mood: Frustrated
  • Listening to: BABY-T - JSRF LOL
  • Reading: I ABHOR ANIMATION CLASS
  • Watching: PORK CHOP SANDWICHES
HAY GUYS

I'm srsly disliking my animation class (of all things!!!)

I'm not dedicated enough to be in college. I have no effing clue what I want to do and I feel so unfulfilled.

Like, everyday is the same. There's no fun in going to class, just...class. It's just more school.

Maybe it's because I don't drink. I dunno.

I need to start taking things which will make me wake up and go "YES YES TODAY IS A GOOD DAY"

Not "Ok good I don't have animation class today"

Next quarter come soon :(

I don't drink at all. And I took one extra class both semesters last year. Did it kind of suck? Yes. Did I survive it and am I ultimetly satisfied that I did that? Yes.

Hmmm... Although I must say that I can't say I was always like "woo hoo I have this so and so class!!!" but I'm really enjoying this semester better then last year. The extra credit might have something to do with it, but most of all, I throughly enjoy my "Advance Sequential Art" (or Comic Book Class).

Alot of people feel that they have no clue what they are doing. I don't know what I'm going to do in the future. And probably 90% of my classmates would say the same.

I think you just need to re-visit why you really want to do animation. Watch something that made you want to do it, your inspiration. If you are truly into what you are doing (animation), I think you will find a way to survive the pain to get to your goal.

I have no clue if this helps at all. Sorry, most of them became some rambling of my own thoughts and ideas. Good luck, doing something you like for a job sucks, but it is also rewarding. "Enjoyable pain" is what my friends call it.

no no, it really helps to hear from people, even from the internet (lol).

Yeah and the drinking thing - that's totally a joke, I don't plan on drinking anytime soon.

good to hear that the drinking thing was a joke! I just feel like it's such a waste to use the college life. It seems as though so many people just devote their time in getting drunk...

I'm also glad to know that it helps a bit. ^^

Well, you can do what I do and chock your schedule so full that I have at least one thing every other day to look forward to and such. But, that might hurt for most people, so all I can say is stick with it, all intro classes suck anyways (which is probably why I'm only in one this semester). The difference here is well, you get to choose everything you want to do, and there's a lot more free time to mess around with. I'll admit, there are times when I feel lost (Thermodynamics anyone?) and doomed (that math exam I have in half an hour). But then again, there are the monday/friday nights when I get to practice Kendo/Naginata, the weekends have paintballing and trips to Chicago, Tuesdays and Thursdays are asking to be slept through because I have only one class, and free time can be spent tranquilly messing with the piano or playing pool. And, of course, sometimes there are things that you're good at but it doesn't mean you love em (I've started to drift off tennis, just doesn't feel as fun).

I think, the main aim for college is to do what you enjoy, and then find what you love in the midst of it all. If you already know, that's just a bonus and sometimes can actually lead to close-minded-ness.

And as for the drinking thing, yes, it is possible to survive without it. No need to succumb to the masses.

art classes are the worst because they make you draw when you don't want to
and it's not like you're drawing hot guys making out, you have to draw like STILL LIFES and crap!!!
w-well, that was my art class anyway :-[

also I'm in my second year of college, and I was never excited, now I'm like, "YES, it's not school today, it's work!!!!" since when have I preferred work!?

you should find someone hot to stalk, it makes life exciting (and scary)! *w*)bbb

I felt the exact same way. School was the last place I wanted to be. So I'm taking time off in order to figure out what I really want to do. I even hated my art classes...they're so strict and you can't express yourself unless you fit in their box.

YES BUT YOU'RE JUST SO GOSH DARN CUTE!

and it just more school, but, and maybe this is just true for me, there's less busy work. I don't know..I keep thinking that it's all supposed to be more meaningful even if you have no idea why you're there. More meaningful because it's more expensive? Why not.

and you should probably be drinking right now. get with the program already
