I m investigating the possibility that I may feel differently about college than I used to. When I first began my college career, I loved it. I put effort into my course work and I made good grades for the first time in my life, and school was fun. I felt, through these good grades, that I was achieving something.
I do not believe that I feel that way any longer. College is a chore now. It is no longer something that I enjoy. There are some classes that I still enjoy, but for the most part I am just unhappy with the experience. I feel that I am bring force fed information that I will never actually use and that I have no interest in learning.
I feel that it is a waste of my time, but I tell myself that I need each small part of the whole for my degree, however meaningless. However, a degree to some is pointless. Every student at every university feels that a degree is going to better their lives by allowing them to acquire a good job and generate lots of income. This is not the case in many situations. My degree may be pointless, and with this thought, comes the thought that me sitting in classes that are unrelated entirely to what I want to do in the first place, not only makes me feel like my time is being wasted, but renders me useless.
I do not want to waste my time. However, I really do not want to bust my ass just to feel useless.
This is the tone that I usually use. I used to be happy and optimistic about life. The fact that I no longer am, justifies how pointless I feel that my life has become.
