Yeah, I don't think any of those could sustain my interest for very long.

It has nothing to do with interest, it has to do with motivation.

I would think that interest was one of the main ingredients in motivation.
Perhaps I am wrong.

Nah, the gap between the two is understandable. In fact, I'd say it defines a lot of people's lives.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

It's part of motivation, but think about how many classes people take to get a degree that they absolutely loathe. They manage to get by though, using (I'm assuming) the end result (the degree) as motivation. Not so much for me. I could care less about a degree.

Or, in other words, I doubt many people go to college because they think the academics overall are interesting to them. They want to get paid more money in the future.

So why should I spend what should be my best years wasting away in classes I don't care about?

Thats a good question. If you dont have a good answer for that then drop all of your classes! Start doing what you should for "the best years of your life"

why are you in school if you don't want to be...

or are you just forced to take these classes right now, and if that's the case, you're going to need to pass them sooner or later for whatever it is you're in school for.

Because you can look back on them and have something to show for them. Would you rather look back on them and say: "Wow, I pumped gas during the best years of my life".

Reminds me of an old patton quote -
"There is one great thing you men will all be able to say when you go home. You may thank God for it. Thank God, that at least, thirty years from now, when you are sitting around the fireside with your grandson on your knees, and he asks you what you did in the great war, you won't have to cough and say, "I shoveled shit in Louisiana.""

How do you spend your time when you are not in class?

get your ass in motion, man

you don't want to be stuck in ohio or college all your life, and i doubt you're considering the dropping out self-sustainable lifestyle, so you're pretty much going to need a degree for a halfway decent paying job...that or move to toronto and become a barback

Haha, good question Whiskey.

I spend time here, playing Scrabble, hanging out with people, drinking, and playing lacrosse.

Badchad: Or I could spend my time doing shit I enjoy, and then go to college later. Then I can look back and say "My, I had a good time when I was younger, and I still have a college degree."

your parents aren't going to pay for you to have fun for the next 10-20 years until you decide to go back and actually finish
