This is my first time to write a blog ever so please excuse my writing skills and grammar. I just need an outlet for all my frustrations.
Recently, I've lost my interest in finishing my studies. When a professor humiliated me in front of so many people because of my "6th grade drawing and design", I told my self, this is it...I quit. I am already 21 years old and in my 3rd year taking up BS Architecture(a 5-year course) in the most prestigious Catholic university in the Philippines(clue: founded 1611). But architecture is actually not the first course I've enrolled. After high school I enrolled in a pre-med course but after 3 years I shifted to archi because I've realized that I have no intentions in taking up medicine and I also thought that archi is an easier course, but I was dead wrong. They were right about "the college that never sleeps" slogan. And now I'm already 6 YEARS IN THIS UNIVERSITY never finishing anything. Yeah wtf.
Concerning my lost of interest in my studies, I think my insecurities are to blame. I don't have any real friends in my classes because I feel like I don't belong to them anymore. They are at least 2-3 years younger than me. I also never had confidence in talking in front of class or defending/explaining my designs in front of so many people(I swear they can hear my heart beating louder than my trembling voice) because of my inborn stage fright. I'm also insecure about my height at 173-175cm, which is not so bad, but in my class it happened that I'm one of the shortest guys. I'm not a particularly a bad looking guy, some friends say I resemble taiwanese actor wu chun, and I can say my mathematical skills are above average(we have a lot of subjects that requires math in architecture), but the problem is that I tend to magnify all the negative sides of my personality. It seems like I can never boost my confidence whatever I do or achieve. I guess finishing college was never really meant to happen for me.
So here I am right now sitting in front of my computer 12+ hours a day, playing iccup on a negative win rate, stalking my high school friends' facebook accounts checking on how well they are doing at their office jobs, med school or taking up masters degree. And yeah. I've already incurred more than 2 weeks of absences so there's no coming back to school for me. I'm so ggéd.

I suspect you're from a fairly well off family, because to get to UST and switching majors 2 years prior to graduating is a grand luxury most Filipinos don't have. You likely have too many options, and no one kicking your ass to finish so I'll do it for you: man the fuck up and accomplish something because life doesn't get any easier, you whiny, emotional tool and if you were at UP you would have already slit your writs and nailclipped your testicles off.

you have obviously been through quite a bit of pain. you can do two things: continue you to fight against it (which is getting you no where), or embrace whats fucked up about yourself and your life.
pain is required for growth. if you are not growing, you are dying.
you know what you need to do. realize that your highly emotional thinking is not serving you.
you've got to become a man and take responsibility for yourself.
im sort of on a soap box here. but i come from a fucked up background as well. you will come out a better person for it in the long run, but you have to take care of your shit.
i was stuck in the fuck the world/etcetc/listen to coldplay for 10 hours/woe is me stage for a long, long time. i knew it was happening, i couldnt do much to solve it. in fact, when i tried to solve it, it usually backfired.
how i got over it? time, experience. there will never be a moment where you go: ok now im better! wee! it will be a progression over time. it is slow, it is painful. i regressed about a thousand times.
but i dont really feel the same anymore. shit that used to bother me doesnt. and i know shit that bothers me right now probably wont in the next 6 months or a year.
|
i dont know what to say!
i felt like giving up doing my 3rd year in Uni, then i went elsewhere, now i dream about going back to school
but back then i felt so rebellious, like i wasnt going to need all the garbage they fed me
and in all honesty, its not the self-improvement that makes people study in most cases, its the opportunity
in our fucked up world its sometimes hard to make a living without these 5 years of studying. Its good if you like it, not so good if you dont
I felt that i had so much to do back in a day and school was always a burden
years after i realized that you have to digest what you can and while you can. This is something that defines you, knowledge is priceless. What can be better then improving yourself
i dont know man, good luck to you. Ive been through this and i still dont have a degree. Look around, see what happens, maybe you will find your hapiness

you need to reevaluate your life: stop sitting in front of your computer for twelve hours a day, stop envying your friends, and start going to classes.
find something you love to do and do it. All people have insecurities, it's how we deal with them that matters.

Dude get fucking to it.
I was in architecture too, but I switched out. The difference between me and you? I busted my ass doing it. After that, I was able to the switch out knowing that I gave it my best go and get on with life. I have no regrets about trying architecture, it was a great experience and I was and will always be interested in the field. Just not as a career.
Your response to your to your professor wasn't "alright fine, I gotta buckle down and improve my skills and show this guy what's up" but instead "I quit". How are you going to get anywhere like that? Now look at your response to college in general. Is it college that is a problem or is it your defeatist attitude? You take the easy way out and say "College just isn't for me!"
Half of last year I spent trying to figure out what I wanted to stick around in architecture or make the switch. I spoke to many, many advisers both within architecture as well as advisers for programs I found interesting. You have to plan you can't just laze around and skip class. During that whole period I completed every architecture project and assignment. My grades weren't stellar and aren't anything as good as the grades I have in my present program, but I was still pulling B level grades or above.
Sit down with some advisers and sit down with yourself and make a plan.
Get serious dude.

I've been through this (well, am going through this). Unfortunately for you, you're enrolled in a highly specific degree (for instance, a degree in economics grants much more flexibility than a degree in nursing).
I would consider taking some time off and doing something else, perhaps taking on studies again later. Fact of the matter is that if you want any sort of credibility, you need a college degree. There are many "what ifs" in life, but, really, getting a college degree isn't one of them.
For instance there're a bunch of programs in the United States such as Americorps that allow you to do community service for six-month to year-long terms. They pay for your housing, meals (okay, some do) and give you a small stipend. In other words, they give you time to think about things and sort things out. It wasn't until a did a cross-country bicycle tour for affordable housing that some things really settled in my life. If you do something for a long time, oftentimes you get in a rut; taking some time off might be exactly what you need (and you can resume your studies later!)
I wouldn't get discouraged. Life's long. Also you might want to destroy your computer/stop playing so much StarCraft/get rid of your Facebook because plain, my experience with these things, when I'm stuck in something, is that they just delay/numb what's there and prolong problems.
Good luck to you man. Remember that you have a ton of options, even if you see it that way. Consider some of them, because things sure as hell aren't as black and white as they may seem =)

Come on dude you got this one precious chance some people would kill for...
just don't quit school and regret it 10 years down the road. otherwise good luCk yo!

I have one thing to say but I'll draw it out to make a solid point.
Pride is the downfall of man, some great , some not. I started going to college when I was 15 years old. I did not have one teacher at my pathetic junior college that liked me. My essays were compared to the top students, my social graces, my wording- more or less everything- was put under constant ridicule and I fucked hated it. Every day I would drip with sweat from the anxiety of having to go to a certain english class and I hated my life. I was lucky enough to be a chess player, so everyday before each classes I was early with my board out and one of silmans books on my lap studying midgame position ect.. so....
One day a thin dark man stopped and said "would you like to play". After playing a few games he asked me all the usual, how old I was, my major, blah blah blah. I opened up to him about my self doubts and the problems with my teacher. After I was done talking, he introduced himself as Prof. Amir, a philos. prof, he more or less said I am in a unique situation and that I am being pushed harder then others because more is expected from me and he gave me two choices.
Fail -> and find an easier way threw life.
Win -> Say fuck em, and burn them down with silence and hard work and know that they had no part in making me who I would be.
I choose win. I was happier.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and find a new field of study. There are so many options out there.

your name is an abomination unto us all.

Dude, don't even worry about being short. I have never been in a class of any size where there was a guy shorter than me. But I never let that affect me. I went out and got what I wanted and life is good. Just pick something in college, finish it, then move on.
Otherwise you may regret not finishing for the rest of your life.
|
Don't listen to your professor dude, that guy is fucked up.
|
Richard Feynman drew fucking squiggly lines!
Have you ever considered asking professors to be involved in undergraduate research in science fields around your campus? Who knows, maybe deep down you want to be a lab rat.

Don't let an asshole professor ruin your life.
Change your major if you can't take architecture anymore.

Ok, here are my thoughts. You might find them harsh or rude or whatever. I don't care as long as you read them and you think about them even for 5 minutes.
So a guy humiliated you. Ok, it happens. All the time it does.
When I was in high school I've been humiliated. Because I didn't belong among those people. I was playing pc games with 2-3 guys from my class and all the rest I considered retarded. And they thought the same about me and whenever they could they made fun of me.
When I was in the university (12 semesters master's degree veterinary medicine) I've been humiliated by a professor too. In a class he was saying how the cause of people getting fat was stress. So I stand up and I told him it was food not stress. Cause you know, people in the concentration camps were stressed 24/7 and noone was fat. I asked how it this even possible, professor? It can't be that you're wrong, can it? So he teld me in front of all the people how I am going to have problems passing his exam and how he hates the children of colleagues (my dad is a vet too).
But humiliation's not the problem. Thee problem IMO is the way you react to it. And you react in the most self destructive and negative way. While I react at first with anger then after a while I calm down and I think how to overcome the problem. But not a thought about quitting.
And I do this mostly because of two things. One from a movie, one from a book.
The movie part is from Fight club. Brad Pitt comes t oa guy with a gun and asks what is he doing working at a restaurant when he's been studying veterinary medicine. The guy says studying was too hard. Brad Pitt asks him if it too hard for him, then maybe he prefers to be dead. Guys says no. Brad Pitt then tells him to go and finish his study and always to remember that if he quits he'll be shot in the head and dead. So it's a harsh way to motivate someone but I guess it works. So I always remember this scene when I find I am losing motivation finishing something.
Now the book part, it's far stronger IMO. It's from John Steinbeck's novel Grapes of Wrath. Read it if you haven't. It's amazing!
People in it are forced to move from Oklahoma to California during the Great depression. They are poor, they have almost no food, they struggle all the time. At some point their truck broke down. So they go to find a mechanic. The mechanic is some guy with some disability, I don't remember what exactly and it doesn't matter. But he complains all time how he is all lonely and bad looking and so on. Then Tom starts yelling at him that he is doing nothing with his life, only bitching. Tells him to stop whining, find a life and move on. What I found amazing in this advice is that it came from a man who is literally totally fucked by the circumstances. But he never quit, never thought fuck all I'll just quit everything and sit here and maybe die from depression or whatever.
You know the saying - Quitters never win, winners never quit. You're young, you say you're not bad looking. So my advice is take a rest and then come back to your real life and kick ass.
Otherwise you're a little whining bitch that noone gives a fuck about!

Yeah if you really must at least geta Bachelor's.
That opens up a shitton of options for you for your life
And also people finish 4 year college when they are in their 30s or 40s sometimes so being 23 is not bad at all

rofl did someone jus try to inspire someone with the movie fight club??? hahaha. thats like teaching someone to become a general by watching gladiator rofl.
stop making him read philosophical shit guys, if he is reading through that 1 pager about fight club rofl. hes gotta figure out his options if he doesn't go to college. are u gonna be able to work n support a family w/o college? or are u gonna be a bum. if ur gonna be a bum bust ur fucking ass n forget about the "professor humilating u", ur gonna make more money than him anyway.

Some say the taste of revenge is bitter sweet, but I find it to my liking.
FUCKING AVENGE THAT SHIT! RETRIBUTION! GO SCRATCH HIS CAR OR SOMETHING!
You'll feel better afterwards.
Also, some advice for the future, if someone tries to give you bullshit what you gotta do is man up and tell him to go suck donkey schlong or something. The worst thing you can do is take it up the ass, so to say.
You gotta understand that powergaming works in real life. Play the optimal game of life, like SC pros play SC, you gotta play life like a pro, ok?

i can very well relate to your situation. im already 8 yrs in college and i dont mind it.
here is a story why..
when i entered college, I was one year younger with my other classmates, with that in mind i mess around and try to "enjoy" life (it was worth it  ) i rarely go to my class and passing 2-4 subject each semester in my 3 years. then i totally stop going to classes while being enrolled ( waste of money i know). and started to drink a lot, play SC and wc3, and hook up with chicks. and i realized that i need to finish college to earn a decent job.
then on 2006 i try to get back on school everything is still the same except that i'm kinda the oldest in my classs now. i used to be shy about it because people will think that i'm too dumb for staying in college that long. at first it was very hard when going to classes since i didn't know anyone and some laugh if they knew that i'm 6th yr already. as time passes it became easy when i get to know some of my new classmates and earn their respect when they know that it was not my stupidity why i fail my subject (it was my laziness).
currently i will be having my internship this January and hopefully graduating in dec09 .
You can still make up in the classes you've miss just give it some more effort and stop spending 12hrs in front of your computer.
You are in the same country as i am. if you want we can hang out and drink some beer, since your playing SC i'm sure your good company he he. good luck and merry Xmas dude

There we go. Accept this offer, ASAP! Go out you 2 and have fun.
Wow, TL is such a merry place, I think I'll cry in joy. Look how helpful everyone is.
Also I can really relate to your situation. I'm kinda in the same spot, although I have a lot of reasons why I'm taking so long with my studies and I don't want to elaborate. However, just be your own man, don't give a shit what other people might think etc. Basically do what 15 people before me told you to and try again. Don't give up.
Take care man.

Take a semester off. Best thing I ever did. Work FT, and when you realize that you'll make dick compared to what you could with a degree, you'll be itching to go bck
Granted, I'm the oldest in most of my classes, but I'm a semester away form my degree now.

Yes this is a very good idea, nothing makes uni seem reasonable more than a stint of working full time in some crappy job.

no matter how cliche it is, education is the portal to a happy life. I know because I've been where you are and I know how it is when you don't have the education to do the things you want to do.

Thank you for all the responses and advices guys, I really appreciate it. After a few days I've realized that my actions were just forced by combination of anger, my life-long insecurities and family problem(my parents are considering separation again). Now I'm already missing school,  But I cannot go back anymore, I've already incurred about 3 weeks of absences. It won't matter if I go back to my classes because I would still get a "failure due to absences grade" by the end of the semester. My social life is fucked up as well, I haven't went out for quite a while now and never talked or texted my friends, and my poor girlfriend...I forgot I have a girlfriend. I know she was dead worried couple of days ago because of her texts(she knows my personal problems) but I never replied, I was so selfish. Now she's not texting anymore I guess I've already lost her as well.
I've decided to take a break this semester. I'm dropping all my subjects(I'm lucky we're still allowed to drop before January) and hopefully after a few months I'll be a better guy. Or worst, I'll get used to being a bum. If that happens I swear I'll kill myself.
For now, I'm going to spend the next few months as a nerd ZvT, PvT or TvT anyone? PM AirPhilippines on iccup

Fuck that shit, get your act together and at least try..? your hardest
"Rofl i alrdy have 3 weeks of abscences and zomg im gonna fail anyways - useless try is useless?"
ZZZZZ
Fuck that shitty attitude is what got you here in the first place
Have you even tried asking your professors for a second chance; or put any effort into trying to ace their class?(im sure he called your project 6th grade trash for a reason)
Can you honestly say thats the best you can do?
If yes, then sorry , my fault.
3 weeks of absences -that's just an excuse to stop taking the class either way,
What about ur gf? she stopped texting so... you lost her?
Call her and take her out some shit jesus christ
"life long insecurites and family problems" -get over them or be a bum, basically- some people have split up families or probably neither a family altogether there's always something worse.
But ...seriously at least get a job to pay off college(more importantly to realize what a crock of shit you can be without college)? or join the army? -2 years of your life training your mentality ....
-But some people are completely hpapy with minimum wage jobs- but you don't seem to be, yet you act like a person that would.
Hope this serves as a wake up call
otherwise go ahead, shrug this post off as meaningless
I'd be surprised if you even read all the way down here from what i've read
go back to playing SC and throwing your life away?
|
Also, how the hell are you in college for 6 years? Just curious.
someone suggested rich parents?
|
First thing to do is stop playing starcraft. Second, take a trip around the Philippines to some villages and stuff because the life-in-prison-for-rice-hoarding days are coming back very soon once these 8 - 10 or whatever trillion dollar bailout inflation hits the street.
|
1- suspense ur study
2- go for work for 1 year
3- go back to college and treasure every seconds you spend
|
Don't be so self-conscious!
I'm the same height as you. I got my 4-year degree at age 26. And I kick ass! =D
Everybody's situation is different; don't judge yourself based on what you perceive others achieving because you never know the whole story.

Yes I can say that I came from a fairly well off family, both of my parents are physicians. My monthly allowance is at least twice the average of my classmates, I got my own condo unit, I drive a European car to school, got nice computers, wear entry level Swiss watches. I know these are near luxury even in Western standards for a student. But I lack motivation. I never got moral support from my parents. I hate them because I feel like they are more childish than I am.I don't even know if they care for me, it doesn't matter because they give me money anyway. I'm also blaming them why I'm acting this way. I feel that there's really no reason improve myself. No reason to fight for.

I want to, but it's impossible now. Missing even one meeting in our Design class can be disastrous, because we are required to submit a lot of esquisses of our projects each meeting.Yes you were right that I wasn't doing my projects/plates to the best of my ability. But the thing is I've already been losing my interest in my studies even before that humiliation incident happened... I just feel so devastated right now, I really can't go back to my studies. I've already told you guys the reasons. My mother is dating another guy, some of my professors are assholes, no friends at school etc etc. I just can't put my mind over my emotions at this time, I'm overwhelmed by problems. I'm so confused and going through a lot of pain.
You were right about so many things, I'm an asshole, I'm not being responsible for my emotions and immature for my age. For now I just need a break. I need a time to heal, a time to console myself and enjoy the things I like to do even just for a while.
As for my girlfriend, we are kind of alright right now. She told me she got angry because I wasn't telling her anything. She got shocked when I told her I'm dropping this semester but I told her it's okay because now I can spend more time with her.

I really thing you should do a little traveling. If your parents have some money, you should be able to afford to take a semester or two off and travel around a little. It will help clear the air and give you some perspective on the small things that are affecting you right now.
|
that sucks but it was kind of a bad idea to switch out from pre med
its not like if ur pre med you have to stick to being a doctor or something
you can use a science background for other fields, private or public sector
|
eh? i was expecting an argument
now i feel bad

I've gone through this before. I failed a couple of semesters at engineering school and had zero desire to become an engineer so I just sat on my ass and skipped everything. I can't describe exactly what changed, but I've matured a lot since then (despite my TL posts) and I guess my best piece of advice is to find something to do on the side that requires discipline, like working out or something. Just having one thing in your life that's hard and you're committed to can start to rub off on other things.
You're not always going to like every class/job/situation but you've got to learn to man up and push through if you want to get somewhere, even if you don't know what that somewhere is. Move on, never stay still.

I wasn't really planning to register here, although I check this forum quite a lot (mostly for the laughs  ), but I had to register to answer the OP's dilemma. First of all I've been in the same situation you're in. I first took Civil Engineering, then Computer Science, Accounting, Global Business and Finance and Economics. I'm still doing the Finance and Economics courses. But since in my country we basically do trimesters, I generally do one and take the next one off. I graduated a good school, and I'm well off. Even though I had great scores in school I never really took it seriously. Now in college its the same thing. The classes I pass I do next to nothing to pass and the ones I don't, it's because of lack of participation on class dynamics or me not going to the class enough.
Anyways, right now I'm a decent looking 24 year old male. I get all the women I need (or want for that matter), I have a decent job and I make decent money. It's funny how I'm not happy with my current income, but I'm still making more money than my friends from school who have college educations and masters degrees. It's even funnier the fact that my dad can't believe I'm already making more than 2 thirds what he makes being a surgeon. Also I've had two businesses, that didn't actually work out at the end. I got 2180 in my SAT's a few years ago If I remember correctly. At this point in my life I'm doing better than, all those people that where supposed to be making the truckloads of cash. I have a lawyer friend with a masters degree who makes one third what I make. WTF is that?
My point? For most people it's true that you need a college education to make the best of your professional life and open the doors to financial freedom. But, if you're smart enough, or have the discipline required, you don't need it. You wont make money doing a 9 to 5 at the local architect firm. Unless you become a partner 10 years from now of course. You make money investing. You make money creating a product. You make money creating a need for your services. No college will teach you how to be successful. You want to drop out? Fine drop out. But don't go work for the closest McDonald's you've got. Do something with your life. And when you really know what you want to do with your life, go back to college and take the courses required to get a degree that has to do with your newly acquired direction. I'm still one and a half years away from graduating college, and at the rate I go might as well make it 2 or 3 more years, but I'm fine with that. I'm fucking making the money all my friends wish they could make. I'm getting my college degree to be able to say I accomplished getting a piece of paper that taught me nothing, but I fucking got it nonetheless, cause real men don't quit.
PD: It took me 5 major changes to get to the college career that suited me. YMMV, but you're still young enough to be able to make this decisions, cherish that.

I couldn't fucking agree more. Kid you need to have some fucking real perspective on life. What the fuck are you doing in a good college without some sort of career plan from the very fucking start?
College isn't your fucking high school. Why the fuck do you care what the prof says to you? I can't even fathom how you can even think like that. Why the fuck do you care which fagly ass Taiwan actor you look like? why the fuck do you worry about your height when half of asia is below that height? Are you fucking having second puberty or something? what the fuck?
Look, you need to spend some time working and find out exactly what you want to do then go back to college and fucking learn everything you can!
It shits me that I'm saving every spare cents for my postgrade and you are sitting there being an emo.
On the bright side, you are what? 21? Half the people that i know didn't even start university until they are that age.
I will say this one time, you can post here now but if you post this shit again five year later, NO ONE and i mean NO ONE will give a shit about you, not even anon TL.netters.
