All The Thoughts I Have Sitting In A Class I Don't Need

"Can you move your head, and write clearly?"

Why does everything have to be so difficult? Why can't I just take classes that directly correlate to my degree? Why do I have to spend (waste) money on classes such as speech, art, and (...I don't know) physics when I will be getting a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography?

Now, I understand certain prerequisites are important. For example, it makes sense that I need anatomy and physiology because I will be working with the human body. However, why do I need to take a history class, or even an English class, when I literally just took one in high school?

It isn't that I don't want to learn, I do. I promise, I am eager to learn -- about my specific trade! Not things that do not directly correlate to said trade.

Getting an education has become so complicated. I just want to learn how to be an ultrasound technician. I don't want to pay buckets of money for tuition and "fees."

By the way, what even are "fees?"

I do not want to spend my very valuable time and money in and on school. I either don't understand what I am learning, or I am not using what I'm learning.

I know a nice majority of y'all don't even go to class, and then wing it and get lucky on the final. Or you cheat.

So? What's the point?

I know, I should take the privilege of my education with a smile, and just be happy and feel grateful I can go to school. As crazy and like "yeah sure" as it sounds, I am. I am happy and grateful.

I know it's a privilege.

It just feels so counterproductive, sometimes. You know?

I want to learn. I want to learn my skill, and go and make money and live my life. I do not like school. I do not want to spend extra time learning about things that do not pertain to my career.

That's what hobbies are for. I want to choose my hobbies, and I don't mean "choose" by choosing which art I take.

School isn't for everyone. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

The only reason I am in school is because it is the fastest and (ironically) the easiest way to the life I want to live.

Anyway, to recap. I hate physics, and I wish there was a faster way to my career without having to sit through that class every Monday and Wednesday.

If I could petition to not have useless prerequisites, then I would, but I can't.

So, I wrote this episode of "thoughts I have in physics." in physics.

Thank you for watching.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
