A semi-long while ago I made a post asking what the point of college was. I walked away with an idea that yes, college would be something good to experience..but I sort of became apathetic to the whole idea of going to college again :/. Why spend a year of my life learning college related things when I could spend a year learning other things?
Hence, while choosing my classes this year I've only put thought into the semi-short-term: "Oh, these are the courses I'm interested in...and these are the ones I qualify/don't qualify for, so I'll just take courses I'm interested in and qualify for!"
Unfortunately, this means a woeful lack of English and history courses (and science because the one I'm more interested in I won't qualify for if I don't take a math course that will move too fast for me to be comfortable with). Apparently colleges want people to love English, because yes, of course communication is extremely important! But..ah, I can't bring myself to take them, and especially not just for college! Granted, I did list some English things as back-ups in case I didn't get the classes I chose.
I dunno exactly why I'm posting this. Maybe for me to consider why exactly I'm choosing an extremely unbalanced set of classes? It's going to be due in April 1st, with teacher approvals and all.
My counselor tells people they should choose English classes for college. But that "for college" really hits a nerve. I took AP French "for college" and that turned into endless regret--since we never learned French and only prepared for the AP exam by sort of following an AP textbook. This year, I went in deciding to take classes that I wouldn't regret working hard for. I wonder how badly I'm screwing myself over o~o?
...woops, I hadn't intended this to be a rant
