Good time management and not leaving things till the last minute is the key.
Buring the candle at both ends with drugs and study may be proving too heavy a burden.Ok, Stress has played a huge part in my drug addiction. I'm trying to do the right thing and not do AS many drugs, or stay away from the hard shit (like heroin,coke,meth..etc..) I dont drink either, so have to find other ways to deal with stress.
The stress mostly comes from being rushed, or not finding a parking spot, or having a shit ton of homework, the list goes on!
Anyways, The college I'm at doesn't really have anything fun to do.. like not a real nice campus.. It's a ghetto ass community college in the hood. and the only reason i'm going there is.. not because it's an all black school.. I know the teachers there want to see the students move from the hood, and start their careers anywhere but here.
SO even though being the only white kid in the class, maybe I can get in on this, and move from the hood...
So if anyone has any stress relieving ideas?? please let me know.. :]
thanks
Dude I went one semester at community college and hated it. I passed all my classes but didnt return because it seemed like a waste of time. I dont think im ever going back. The whole education system revolves around making money off students and im not giving a school one more cent of my money. If I want to learn something I always thought it was better through experience than in a classroom. All school is about is seeing who can put up with the bullshit long enough to get a degree.
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to do well in college. I'm 19 years old and a freshman in a local community college. I do well in english courses but seem to struggle in everything else.
I may have a gig writing about one of the biggest music festivals in the country. Not sure how strong the possibility of this happening is but I'd jump on it if its possible.
Due to my poor grades, I am constantly criticized by the adult I live with as well as my grandmother. Neither of them are happy people though they are both well off.
Basically, what should I do? I'd like to keep going to school but it seems like I can only do well in what I love. I have been diagnosed with ADD among other mental illnesses but that one seems to hold me back the most in school. I enjoy writing but whenever I try to do work for other courses, I can't focus at all.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll even be able to get a job even if I graduate due to the poor state of the economy.
Is there a way of pursuing an education in writing? Will I even be able to get into a 4 year school if I have a poor GPA? Is it possible to take a break from classes to take some time to clear my head and then come back retaining my credits?
I feel like I have so much on my plate and I don't know how to deal with it.

You could always just take 12 credits and work a lot until you figure out what you want to do. Another option would be to work a lot while going to school part time, but if that would result in losing your health insurance then you might want to stay full time. It took me a long time of working full time and going to school at community college before I got sick of it and really tried to go away to school. Once I made it away to school I valued my education a lot more than the people that had gone straight away to school, since I had a better understanding of what my education meant, and also the money I invested.
