I finally get to go to college! Nice, eh? I've been wanting to go since I graduated, but things have been pretty crazy in my life since graduation, but I've finally got it together enough to go to school. I'm stoked! :lol: :D

I'm going to start with general ed at Butte College (community college) and hopefully I will transfer to chico state eventually, but who knows?

I don't know what I'm going to major in yet. My main interests are actually history and english...

Congratulations. Stick it out and do not quit. Once you have the degree you have it forever. You might even learn something there.

I remember crap from college. I studied Mechanical Engineering for two years and absolutely aced mathematics. Straight A's through linear equations, calculus (1-4), applied mathematics. Straight A's in all of my manufacturing courses (Machining, Foundry, Welding, Drafting), high marks in my Engineering classes (except statics). I absolutely flunked English, Psychology, Anthropology, Political Science, Critical Thinking.

The piont I am making with all this mishmash... from the good and the bad, I can't remember crap about any of it. But I still manage to earn a decent wage.

University was a waste of time for me.

Got offered a job after my first year and quit straight away.

Congrats anyway :)
