Really trying

I feel like my motto for today should be "Woooosahhhhh!"

I know there are tons of people wondering, "Why the hell are you still in school Nia?!" The fact of the matter is the education system that we rely so heavily on is very fucked up (please excuse my language). This is my 4th year in school and my patience is starting to wear thin. How is it possible that I have close to 160 credit hours and I still haven't graduated.

Oh....I think I know why............

* Several classes that I need to graduate are offered at the same exact time (literally....the same time, classrooms right next to each other).

* My advisors are overwhelmed so I have done my own advising for the past fewsemesters. Only NOW are my advisors and other professors taking the initative to help me figure out what classes I need.

* There is a conspiracy theory to keep students in college for as long as possible to continue the outpour of government and local funding that colleges and universities receive when students enroll.

* Lastly, I still have not graduated because there is not enough time in the day to take ALL the classes I need, continue working, manage my business/career, and be a normal, socialable, calm, and evolving human being.

I like.....I love learning, but at a certain point, the education system makes me resent it....heavily! Unregretably!

I would think they would want us to graduate in an acceptable timeframe. The more graduates they have, the more support they would be able to count on from alumni. DUH!!! The happier you make students, the more money they will allocate for you when they begin their careers. The careers that we are sooooooooo desperately desiring and the careers that you won't let us start because we missed an art appreciation class.

I need to stop ranting because I can go on for hours. My tummy hurts!

So for this semester, instead of taking the 3 classes that my advisor told me I needed to take, I am now having to enroll in 6 classes.

Let the tears begin.
