I'm just not really enoying university. I'm not unhappy, I'm just not enjoying it.
I think because I'm a bit older than other students then I have other interests and find it hard to relate. My course rarely challenges me intellectually, but I am worried I won't do as well on year two essays because of the shortage of books in my library.
Plus all my essays adn work are bunched up around the same day... So I have to somehow find the right books and then write the essays from them. I am glad I got an extention on one because learner support sorted it.
I just don't enjoy it anymore... I'm ready to get a job and start earning money.
Everyone is younger than me and enjoying not having respobsibilities, going out and getting pissed. I'm bored of that... In fact in general I'm bored of everything at the moment. I have eight million things on my shoulders, I have been betrayed bysomebody I considered a friend and screwed out of a grand (but I can't tell anyone), I have loads of plans and ideas, but I know nobody will support me in following them through, I'm just not really enjoying life at the moment...
I don't wanna quit uni as it's a career move, but if anybody has any advice I'd be happy to hear it. I don't really have anyone to talk to who'd understand in uni... To be honest after getting dickd around I don't really trust many people anymore.
In fact I hate people at the moment... I don't know why I'm doing human rights to help a backstabbng worthless race. Everyone's either bone fucking lazy, or out for themselves it seems...

I know the feeling of having dreams and plans, I have been fighting through college and the hope of getting a great job to make the life of my love great, but since she passed away I lost my motivation also. Although I lost my motivation I know its just something that needs to be done. Im sorry I couldnt offer you anything inspiring but just the way life is you need to push foward for atleast a little while longer because this period of time is not even a large fraction of your entire life.
how many years do you have left?
I haven't lost motivation, I'll always work really hard at everything (uni and extra curricular) that I do... I am just lost at the moment and deeply hurt.
I hope things get better for you soon though AND, if not, we're always here to listen.
having said that though most of the studies you do in your first year are easy. by the end of it, you should find yourself being challenged more on an intellectual level. if you are just going through a phase, then stick at it. alternatively, take some time out, get into the real world and get some cash and perspective. university isn't for everyone although i know it is pushed a lot by a lot of different people. degrees can benefit you in the long run but so too does experience. but if its just that you are older and relate better to older people, why not get in with the mature students?
I think, to be completely honest that I am just burnt out and feeling hurt from what that guy did (see reationships thread) ... I've spent the last three weeks near enough studying straight and have barely seen anyone. Maybe once all my exams are done and coursework, I'll go home for a weekend and play with the cat.
As a first year uni is all fun and games. Second year it seems the reality of things, you have to work, the uni isn't as awsome as you'd hoped... Kicks in.
Kingston is narrow minded? Seriously???
And Tuesday, no idea what I'm up to... Am up for a swim tho.
Maybe Ive just come across some of the wrong people.
