I think that everyone here has attended school at one point or another. And then, I know that quite a few here are attending school at the current moment. Given this, I'd last to ask you guys: Do you, or did you, like it? How were, or how are, the school days for you? If school is a thing of the past, how then do you view it now? If school is a thing of the present, how do you feel about it?

Now for a rant...

[rant]

I'm just curious to know about what other students have to say because I know that I personally hate it. Really, it is no exaggeration whatsoever. I thought High School was such a waste of time and that in college things would be better, but they're not.

*sigh* I don't know why I have such a strong dislike for school. I mean, I do like to learn about new things, but many a times it simply feels so boring... so bland. I don't enjoy college at all. It's boring. It feels like High School all over again except I don't know anyone. All my classes seem so annoying, frustruating, and just plain dull; they fail to catch my interest. I mean, I am not motivated at all! I used to love to read, but slowly school has been killing that interest, forcing me to read about things I don't want to and leaving no time to read things I do enjoy. It's been months since I pick up one of what used to be my precious books. Now all I read is how to punctuate, how to write this and that and this and that. It sucks. I guess you can say I've always been "creative." I'm not trying to sound arrogant, so sorry if I do, but all I mean is that I have always loved to read about out-of-this-world things, I've always loved to write about things that aren't necessarily true, I've always like to draw, to play games and such... but now I have NO time to do anything! I'm always stressed, I can't sleep and lately I can't even seem to eat properly because I just don't have time! I don't do anything. I mean, I always played videogames at leat twice a week and now it's been months since I've played anything. I just have to read and do all of this crap... it's really wearing me down. I know college is hard, but I'm not complaing so much about its difficulty, but about how much it has killed off all of my interests. Even English, which I used to enjoy, is a dread now.

I thought it was supposed to be fun. But hell, it sure isn't! Bleh, I'm not even asking for that anymore... all I want is to be interested... cause no matter how hard I try, things are just so distasteful for me. I even ended up dropping a class this semester because I was overwhelmed with things I didn't want to do. Now I'm only takin 10 units, which doesn't make me a full time student.

School feels like such nothingness to me. I cannot remember the last time I looked forward to going - not even in the slightest sense. It just feels like all of the loves I used to have, like reading and writing, have been killed by school. I don't enjoy doing either anymore.

I find this saddening, because again, not meaning to sound arrogant, I don't think I'm completely inane. I'd say I'm an average student and it just feels like my brain is going to waste. A lot of people think I'm "smart" and that I can do "anything I want to with my life," but I just want to hide under my sheets and not go to school... now tell me, what kind of behavior is that for a person my age? *sigh*

School is weighing down on me so much right now... my morale is completely on the gorund. I don't know... it just seems so stupid - like what I'm doing is worthless... and then I feel dumb... and then I tangle my thoughts and finally end up feeling like crap. But really, school makes me feel like a big pile of poop. It's barely my first semester and I already have no desire to continue. Sometimes I just seriously want to drop out and get a whatever job. At least that will drain me physically, but give me time to recapture the things I once loved.

Gah... school, seriously, makes me so depressed it's not even funny.

Omigod.... I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I'm going to tear my hair out. !! [/end rant]
