I go to a state university in FL and I'm sooo happy.
I love the whole college experience, living on your own, making your priorities, setting everything up yourself...

I wouldn't say I love all my classes. I could go without Finite Math or Astronomy...but sometimes you just gotta stick it out.

I think your first and second years are always tough because you have to take stupid gen eds. But then afterwards, assuming you picked the major that is right for you the classes become enjoyable or at the very least, bearable.

My reccomendation to you is: take any class that interests you. Even if it's not your major. Take advantage of the time you have in school because it will teach you things about sooo many different topics and most importantly, you will learn about yourself.

So maybe you have had some crappy classes, that's fine because now you know what you DON'T want to do. I think you just need to do a little bit of soul searching.

If you still don't enjoy school after a year or so then maybe it's not for you. It's not for everyone. However, I think a lot of people just write college off because they never even give it a chance. Or they look at it as a burden rather than an opportuinity. Just realize that without a degree you are severely limiting your options and your growth in the career of your choice.
