Anyone bored of university?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm so bored of going to school. Its just the daily routine of walking to class and then attempting to do work (I say attempt because my courses are really boring and I have concentration issues). I already know lots of places at university so its not like I'm on any adventure when walking. I have no friends who take the same classes as me. Oh ya, last but not least, I hate the program and degree I'm going for.

Seriously, people complain of how bored their work environment is, but if my work environment was as bored, I wouldn't mind that much since I would be making some money at least. It feels so pointless not to have a job and using my parent's money to fund my education that I don't even know where its headed.

Anyone else bored of school and what they are doing?

I'm bored of not going to school. One more week left.

I get bored of going to uni, then I get bored of not going to uni. The cycle repeats itself over and over.

Meh, I can just find something to do while at home. I'm expected to "study" when I'm in uni.

I actually love school. And I quite like the routine aspects of it as well.

If you hate your program, why not switch to something you would enjoy. Even if you have to spend an extra year--would be worth it for something you do not absolutely hate maybe. Also, most people plan on using their degrees for their jobs, so if you hate what you are doing, you are probably going to hate the type of job you get with that. Lots of people find out after they've already started and many people change even half way or more through their program. Maybe then you wouldn't be so bored?

I was intensely bored with my program at university. I was studying English literature, but I became so bored of it. After one and a half years of studying English literature, I decided to take psychology as an elective, and it's the first course I've found intensely interesting and engaging. I've been missing the concreteness and logicality of science, having been caught up in the metaphorical nonsense of literature study. I've decided once my current semester is up, I will move into a BPsych and see where it takes me. I suppose you just have to find your niche.

I don't mind the routine of commuting to university, though some weeks I just don't feel up to it. I feel terrible anxiety in tutorials when all attention is on me, unless I know precisely what I'm talking about. Being called upon in a lecture of 300+ people is even more nerve-wrecking. The constant socialisation and requirement for group collaboration sometimes takes its toll, and I need to regress for a while.

The mixture of boredom and anxiety sometimes makes university an unbearable place.

I'm a bit, yes...
