| I hate it because I usually wind up being the one that has to take up the slack. As a result I feel like I'm held back by their corrosive attitude. Still its not as bad as it was in high school. In my senior year civics class, myself and the only other attentive student in the class were passed arou... |

| I find taking phone calls to be almost as nerve racking as talking in person. The only real difference is that there is no immature insistence on eye contact. I only have a cell phone for light web surfing away from home and for emergencies. |

| I can think of five reasons off the top of my head. 1. I can barely stand spending a few days out of the year with the four young kids that my cousin has. Their house is bigger then the one I grew up in and yet is still more crowded and chaotic. 2. The noise, the noise, the noise :evil: 3. I'd make ... |

Its terrible that he is no longer with us. Seems like humanity is losing all of its greats and they are being replaced with worthless troglodytes. I fear that humanities future will die with Neil.  |

| You can also try to retake the classes again if your university offers them. Both of the classes are only offered in the spring semester and even if they weren't, to drop them now and take them up later would draw out this painful process even longer then changing my major. I see no reason to hold ... |

| I am not one of the homophobic jerks who cavort around in the halls. I despise them with every fiber of my being. In any case, I've looked over matters and to my despair if I were to switch to a more generalized major would result in me having 14 classes after this semester rather then 8 which would... |

| The kind of roommates I'm dealing with are your typical dull meat heads who have yet to face a serious class here. Between bouts of yelling homophobic slurs at each other they run around the hall, most likely with little if any clothes on acting like feral animals. I find it impossible to believe th... |

Now that the classes have only gotten harder, I find myself in an every deepening depression that get worse day by day and week. Having looked at the situation long and hard, I have realiz... |

| The problem is that I'm not sure whether I would want to go thought the even worse meat grinder that is the CPA exam only to regurgitate what I had learned the moment I left the room. Besides if there are any set backs with my current plan, this will only serve to make a bad situation worse. Simply... |

| I'm honestly not sure I could find an apprenticeship where I live since the nearest city with more then 100,000 people is 30 miles away. Even if I did land one, it would probably be that of a legal slave whose sole purpose is to pass papers and buy Coffey with money that is already eaten up by commu... |

With the amount of social anxiety I feel, College has been a living hell that only gets worse whenever I have any doubts about my major. I was previoudly in information security, but I had to sw... |

Since we'll be going in one car, I go home when they do, which most likely is sunday. Since we'll be leaving wednesday, that equals 3.5 days of hell. |
