Tired of the whole college scene
Hey!
I'm majoring in Business, and I've been going to college for 3 years now. This last year I've just been so bored going through the motions. It feels like I'm wasting my life away. I think it's probably good to stay in school, but I'd like to get interested in life again. I'd like to travel but I don't really have the money now.
I'm sure other people have been in the same boat so I wanted to see if anyone had advice on things I could do?
-Thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
First, I think you should stay in school. You're about one year away from finishing. I stopped school (albeit unintentionally) a couple years ago and concentrated on working with only 3 semesters left. Now, i'm finding it hard to get back into school especially with tuition going up. I can understand how college may get dull for awhile, but you're not too far from the finish. It's a small sacrifice to make in exchange for the fulfilling feeling of getting your degree.
There are some things you can do to maybe mix it up and keep yourself from feeling like you're going through the motions (while being easy on your pocket):
-Take a lighter load of coursework or even just take a whole semester off. It won't de-rail your plans too much. Consider it an extended mental health break. Take drives and explore places in your local area (shouldn't be too harsh on the gas tank). Maybe get a fun seasonal or part-time job to make some money that you can save up for a vacation of sorts.
-Mix it up and take a random, fun class that might bring a new excitement to coming to school. I know University tuition is kind of high so the local community college might be a good place to go to.
I know exactly how you feel and have done all of the above at one time or another and they helped me greatly. Just don't lose focus too much where you stop altogether for an extended period. Best of luck!
