This is a loaded entry, fair warning...
So for those of you who have been following me, I am doing so bad in school as of now. I can't seem to focus on doing the school work. My brother, now the CEO of Last Shot Studios, his own game designing company (they haven't released their first game yet though) say my largest issue is not enjoying what I am learning. He knows me as a creative person, yet I am in business. When making the demo for one of his games, I did most of the graphical designing for it, and it kills him to see me doing uncreative stuff like reports, and marketing plans. I am beginning to agree with him, as I have almost straight up failed out. What do you guys think I should do?
On a lighter note, I came out with a new mix, so have a listen to it when playing your ladder,

If you like, I would love to know, and please let me know in the comments what kinda mix I should make next!
Also you fans of CSL, I will be casting McMaster's second LAN tournament of the year this Saturday. This time I hope I can be there live, to show you what the McMaster team has to offer! Hit up my stream to help support McMaster's team!
Lastly, I have been thinking about starting a small tournement with pros as some of you might know. I figured I should probably get to making polls for how you guys want to see in them. It will be purely NA players, so first up, which of these NA Terran players do you think are most in need of a win in a Starcraft II Tournament?
Poll: Which Terran do you feel is most needing a win in a tournament?QXC (15) 42% Windy/Major/Terran/Princess/Kitty/Britney (9) 25% KawaiiRice (6) 17% Drewbie (4) 11% dde (2) 6% 36 total votes Your vote: Which Terran do you feel is most needing a win in a tournament? (Vote): QXC
(Vote): Drewbie
(Vote): Windy/Major/Terran/Princess/Kitty/Britney
(Vote): dde
(Vote): KawaiiRice

If I may be frank, it sounds to me as if you are searching for a cheap mistake that does not mainly lie on you for a situation you alone are responsible of. So yeah, you might very well be uninterested in the stuff you do at college, so? Either change your studies or suck it up and do better, in the knowing that all you need is a degree, because in your future career you're not likely to do something that is related with your studies anyways.
And regarding Terran players in need for a win... I don't really know...
I'd say Major, because he seems currently more dedicated to the game than qxc and kawaii, who are both currently prioritizing their studies over the game (which is a decision I respect very much). I don't know much about Drewbie or dde, so I won't comment on them.
edit: as in what you should do:
If I were you, I'd try studying something else (that is more interesting to you) and that is still somewhat related to what you have been studying (so that you might be able to transfer already finished credits). You seem unable to just "suck it up" as I describe above, which is fine, in fact some people may regard the ability to "suck it up" as weakness.

I agree school is a complete waste of time, but not the piece of paper you get at the end. Just think that doing well in school will make a big difference to the rest of your life, you can either have fun for a couple of years at the expense of your life, or you can have a good life at the expense of a couple of years.
That said I didn't attend many classes in highschool and when I did I drew in my exercise book or chatted with class mates. But at home I studied my brains out. Hell I studied so hard, every day I jumped out of bed thinking I had forgotten to study for my exam, when my exams finished weeks ago. I was just not a student who could concentrate in a classroom environment.
None of my school knowledge is relevant in my current career, and I'm not particularly adept at studying either, I absolutely fucking hated it. I just forced myself so I could get a good score and so I could get the course I wanted.

Surprisingly the only subjects I actually enjoyed and did fairly well in in university was my mathematics courses, only problem is, I think I have fucked up so bad this year that there is no way they will let me transfer... I'm truly afraid they will just kick me out at the end of this semester....
And about the Terran, drewbie did win the MLG Winter Arena Qualifier for NA, so he gets my vote

Kawaii definitely, he deserves more wins :D

I am kinda agreeing with the whole QXC thing now, the guy used to be so good in Beta, and he slowly dropped off the map, probably cuz of his focus on school and coming back to NA. Besides now he has Heart, Killer, and Nada on his team, he might make a real comeback!

Education is something that no one can take away from you.
You can lose your job, your possessions, your friends, but what you learn will last forever.
So learn. Suck it up. Get it done. Then you can do whatever. School won't last the rest of your life but it will impact the rest of your life.

Its not a question of I dont want to learn, it a question of I'm failing at what I am learning...

Staying in school isn't always the best option. I dropped out my opening sophmore year in college because I threw my shoulder out (pitcher on my college team) so I gave up on school, only went for baseball. Now I'm 24, full time career making 26 an hr right now, awaiting my state licensing raise, I own 2 cars, and a house. I'm almost married, and doing amazingly. I never would've planned this career path, it just happened.
Don't stress so much in school dude, it's no big deal.
