Are you in school? What are you studying? Have you learned anything interesting lately? What do you want to be, maaaan?
I figure there's got to be a few students on the board. If there's one thing that students love it's complaining about how that midterm or whatever is literally going to ruin their life, so why not do it here?
After a little time off, I recently started my master of arts in an interdisciplinary program, and I'm focusing primarily on literary studies and writing. Still no clue what precisely I want to do with it after I'm done, but I've had a taste of a traditional 9-to-5 and I can safely say "no thanks" to that.

I’m now entering what is technically my junior year (long story with dropouts, transfer credits, and major changes) in audio production and I’m a week away from midterms so good call with this thread.
I’m recording my second band next week and was also unanimously voted by my classmates as the project lead in my Sound Design II class where we have to provide ALL sound for a 30-minute animated feature. It’s a swell combination of overwhelming responsibility that has led to me making better friends with my instructors than my peers, which is both a blessing and a curse, because both expect me to have my shit together and be confident in my next move which I decidedly am not.
On top of all this, I stupidly agreed to play a show at LoFi in March despite having zero experience playing music live.
It’s been one month since the new year and it feels like 6. And if my multitrack recording session goes well this quarter, next quarter I have to record a band direct to 2-track tape.
HOWEVER. Last quarter literally killed me and I somehow ended up with straight As for the first time in my life. So there may be hope yet.
TL;DR yea I’m a student, pls let me die

Oh also all my classes are 4 hours long and I have school 3 days a week, and I work 3 other days a week, and my one day off is usually committed to homework. #primeofmylife #latetwenties

everyone is graduating this spring and they will all have a degree, some even jobs lined up - meanwhile, i'm still working on my AA. It's hard seeing the light at the end of the tunnel especially working full time and doing school full time, i too wanna die most of the time. I have such a long way to go but slow and steady wins the race. I should be getting my AA by next summer
After that, I plan on getting my BA in business management to later move up in my company and make lots of money so i can continue to fill the void in my heart with unnecessary purchases but actually be able to afford it all

I enjoy Synthesis & Sound Design II, Scoring & Composition, and Advanced Recording Techniques I. US History, not so much. If only because Iiterally learned all that shit in 2nd grade. College-level my taint.

That sounds like a pretty wicked program that is (hopefully) worth all the stress it puts you through. Here's an idea for your live show: smoke machine. The rest will fall into place.

I'm currently working Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and spending all of my time in between on school. It's a motherfucker of a lifestyle isn't it?
