I need to rant

Well I guess I'm not doing a PhD or anything and I should build my confidence to tackle such things. Plus you've cheered me up too Rob. Thanks.

I Fvcking hate my college.  Everything's broken here, in terms of equipment.  The whole college is falling apart at the seams from a lack of financial endowment.  I fvcking hate the hipster fvcks that go here.  The only thing i don't hate, is my studies.  That's what's keepin me here.  It's life, if you don't want to live with it, well there are several options, but generally those are a bit extreme for people.  I'm living with it, partially because i have to, partially because i know where i want to end up.  Haven't got laid in a while, but do i complain all the time?  No.  Have a bunch of physical problems that a 21 year old SHOULD NOT have, but do i complain?  Sometimes.  I don't have time to get drunk, simply because i have too much work.  Do i complain?  Never.  I am here to do work right?  College is like everything else in life.  There is gonna be A LOT of shite, but ever once in a while you will get a glimmer of what makes life nice, even worth living.  Complaining is damn fun, but at the end of the day you gotta sit and take it, whatever life gives to you.

Yeah uni will get way better, I had assignments like that in the first year which I had no idea how to answer to start with but when you figure it out it feels great. Year 2 is just even better, well it is for us anyway as we get to go down to BBC training facilities in a few weeks :)

Out of interest Jonny, what/where is it you're studying?

I have to agree with whats been said so far, if you're finding uni a hastle you should really question what it is you're doing there, and if you realise that you're not benefitting from it, then maybe you should rethink your options.

I think it's also worth mentioning that universities have Academic Staff, not Teachers. In other words, people who know a lot about a subject but are in no way trained to pass that information on to others.

I'm doing BSc Business Management @ Roehampton

If it were anything I suppose it would be slightly normal to go to University for.

Quite true, they mentioned quite a lot of knowledge moving technology during the first week or so. Mocking bar-stewards! :P

:lol:

to be fair, maybe if they were paid a bit better and didn't have about 3 jobs to do, they might be a bit better at it.

I think that's why they have 3 other jobs, to get paid better.
