So, I'm considering quitting college and getting a job in order to start preparing earlier than planned for the married life. I never was going to get a degree in anything for the purpose of getting a job anyway. My whole point for college was to learn more stuff; all that it's giving me is stress and a handful helping of knowledge. It seems like it would be more beneficial for me to get a job. It would allow me more freedom of choice in living arrangements for next year, and I could start saving up for when Lindsay and I are married and take on all of those responsibilities.
However, I would be quitting college. This will not be a good decision to my parents right away, if not at all. They really want me to have some degree, I imagine. Although, they were okay (somewhat, I suppose) when Justin got out. He, however, had been in college for a while. It's not that I can't handle college. It's only school, right? I'm just considering what's most beneficial at this point. I wish I could talk to Mom and Dad about this now, but I'll have to wait until I go home again. Part of me wants to finish college. I'm just at such a strange juncture.
EDIT: After a nice talk this afternoon with Dad, I've calmed down a bit. Things are going to be okay. I just need to stay away from courses like ECON 2000 and probably HNRS 2002/4 next semester. RNR 1001, here I come! Look out, ART 1008!! *ART 1008 is hit in the head with a paint can by a screaming kid* Oooh...sorry 'bout that.
In other news, I slammed my head into concrete, and the camera failed to get it on tape. I'll have to do it again. Ouch.

NO NO NO, no more concrete, please!!
Hey Dylan, this is Wendy Litton from Brookwood. I'm not sure what to tell you, or even if I should tell you anything about quitting collage. But I do know one thing, don't hit your head on concrete anymore, cause that won't help you think straight about school.
Hahaha...I agree...no concrete. After that, there may not be a Dylan to quit college or get a job anymore...wow, I'm depressing...

I hate that predicamanet. College seems so useless yet so necessary. It's not somethign you want to do, but it's not something you want to be with out 10 years down the road.
I'm just here to learn too, but I hate having to take bad classes in order to get to the good classes. It outweighs the knowledge that I might gain in the good classes. I mean with all the time considered I could just spend a week at a library and on the internet and figure things out myself. But then nobody knows you know that stuff because it isn't written down on a piece of paper. ugh.
But yeah the next few years seems like such an influential part of my life and my career that I wish I could focus on things outside of college instead. Because after all, it is just school, like you said. And there are greater things out there to be pursuing in my mind. As well as opportunities I might be missing while in school.
Good fighting, m'friend.
When you say RNR 1001, it really sounds like Rest and Relaxation 1001!! I wonder how many know you mean Renewable Natural Resources?
