GEs are dumb - but helpful for people like me who took 4 semesters to pick a major(s).

fortunately i only ended up taking 2 classes i had absolutely no need for... so i'll only need an extra semester to graduate.

Your workload never lightens (for the most part), but as you proceed down your college path, and get deep into your upper level major courses, the "heavy workload" is still "heavy" but it's interesting and fun, and you dont mind the work (to an extent, obviously).

This semester im taking ECON 304, 454, 495, and Finance323 + Business485.

While people who are ignorant to my major courses might be like "wow, that sucks balls" - to me its just another 5 classes, but now-a-days they're INTERESTING and FUN, and i actually GO and PAY ATTENTION

I am taking Multivariable Calculus, Physics II(magnetism and electroism all calculus based, Chem II, and History 151)

History is my only GEC and I am happy with my schedule. So easy.

Much more practical than my major

I wish I had the mind for math

Math gives me a god damn headache. But if given a social sciences or humanities course, I could get drunk everyday of the semester and still get an A.

I've heard physics 2 is quite the bitch... Bitch, as in good for nothing else except for having babies.

ehh, I find it interesting  :shrug:  What is your major?  Some sort of science, or engineering?

I am taking similar kinds of classes, physics and math stuff.  One history of science class for my 'other classes' box.

OP:  In my experience it just stays hard day to day (or gets harder).  But, at least in my case, you get used to it and just do it.  Its kind of like a dream, you spend all your time on school and work, and once its over look back on it like some wierd reality you have survived.  I guess a good question is not whether it gets easier or not, but whether you learn to enjoy the struggle.  Thats what separates the success stories from the drop-outs, you have to learn to love the fight.

look into NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE and go to another school for a semester or two

STUDY ABROAD too

As of now I am undecided engineer. I am leaning towards bio/agricultural engineering or I may go too a material science like metallurgy. What are you taking? I am just taking general engineering classes until I can narrow it down.

Ohhh, I can feel special listing the full names of my classes too... :smile:    Classical Particles, Fields and Matter ; Quantum Physics; Mathematical Methods in Physics II; History of science

You probably have another year or so until you can narrow it down huh?  Would materials science/ metallurgy be chemical engineering?  From what I hear that is one of the toughest (and best paying ) engineering majors.  A co-worker of mine is doing bio engineering, but his is not about agriculture, its about making prosthetics and the like.  Im sure that the bio/agricultural you are talking about is much different than that.  If your unsure, I say just do mechanical.  With that you can get into grad school for a variety of different things, or you can have broad options when entering the work force (whatever your plan may be)

I agree college is pretty bullshit...but its hard to get a legal good paying job without a degree.

I dont agree. College is neither a requirement for, nor a guarantee of a good paying job. Its simply a place to learn about things you could never learn on the 'ave'.

Most people never complete college, yet there are still many millions of people in america that can afford a house, a vehicle and as much food as they could ever eat. No college degree required.

Yup. The giant misconception people have is that a college degree translates into money. Not so - college is not preparing you for a job most of the time, it really is just education for educations sake. My dad pressures the fuck out of me to go back, and after my first year at a U and my first year in trade school, I don't think I'll be wasting my time trying to impress my old man. Get your education on the ave :thumbup:
