I might try and pack summers too and get it over with faster.

Do it. I should have been done a year ago but I was lazy and stupid.

Well that rules out most internships, it really depends on if I can secure some decent ones or not.

Hmmm... I would choose an internship over getting done sooner tbh. Work experience >>> getting through school quicker

Last semester starting on Monday let's gooooo.

What for/where are you attending?

Not worth being nervous for anything. I started college in September, and the whole month of August I worked myself up over that big change in my life, and the pressure to perform, responsibility and all that... And then I began classes... And what do you know? I like it so much better than high school. I didn't know anyone, I made a couple really good friends, i'm experiencing people and concepts i wouldnt normally find myself with, I'm learning things, and honestly... It may just be me, (I come from a very tiger-mom type of town/school system) ...but its really not all that bad.

You will enjoy it. Plus I'm sure being at a more mature age and place in life puts you at an advantage, since you've had years out in 'the real world' and will be able to filter what you learn as 'useful' and 'bullshit'.... Not to mention the fact that you'll probably be less distracted/pressured the way 18-19-20 somethings like I am, and you're already accustomed to having real responsibilities.

Relax. Just try not to stare too much at the smoking blonde 20 year old sitting in front of you in comp.

Its a community college in San Diego, it looks WAY fancier than the one i almost attended in Ohio years ago. I don't have a specific goal in mind yet beyond learning how to earn a living wage. So far I have not found anything that interests me, I already followed my passions twice and lost, I don't really know what to do with myself now. I'm just hoping eventually I will find some direction, some thing that I think I can tolerate doing during the course of my attendance that will pay me enough to rent an apartment on my own once I am done (housing costs where I live are astronomical.

I'm mostly only nervous because my life is so crazy and overwhelmingly busy even without college. I am already stressed to the max all the time and now this is 5+ more hours a week of stuff I have to somehow fit in. If I could afford to work less or live close enough that I didn't have an hour+ commute each way wherever i go i would feel a lot better about it.

Friends and family have not all been exactly encouraging about my choice either. They know I struggle and I think they are afraid this will push me over the edge.

Hey man. I know a bunch of people that started college with no idea what they wanted to do. The driven ones found something that fit the bill for them. Keep up with it and I'm sure you'll find a path.

100 times this

They know I struggle and I think they are afraid this will push me over the edge.

The struggle is real... Just take it a day at a time, go to class, don't get behind with homework and you'll do fine. Good luck!

I may or may not be avoiding homework right now... Think I figured out how an e46M kept up with my buddies' CTSV even though the M has less power on paper... Gearing and more usable ratios in the trans.

[MF DOOM]

Could not sleep last night.. Got maybe four hours of sleep and I think I'm getting sick. Hooray first day!

Lol I stayed up till 1am playing Halo Online when I knew i had to get up at 7. This schedule is going to destroy me. 7am is too early for me no matter when I sleep.

Facts. I have a 7:30 class and live 40 minutes from university with traffic. I can't fall asleep till after 1 no matter what I do.

Same here. I gotta be to class at 7:30 and 9am. Depending on how bad traffic is I'm 40-60min from campus. I hate this shit and I'm there until 2:30 every day. Im up until atleast midnight and hate life every morning.

[DER E30]

You guys don't want to hear my schedule...

1:15 to 5:30 two two hour classes back to back, almost 3 hr break, then 8pm to 10pm ugh. But only Monday and Wednesday.

[lambo]

I'm so happy I only have a 9 o'clock class on Tuesday/Thursday. 12:30 for Monday/Wednesday and 11:30 Friday

So much better than last semester.

I have split school. School in the mornings, go to work, then back to school for night classes. So, I feel your pain.

[325ix]

I've got work from 8-12 and then class till 4ish. I'm just glad to be done before it gets dark.
