I am officially failing French and English. I am seriously contemplating dropping out of college, getting a retail job like I used to have prior to enrolling, and getting a small apartment somewhere cheap, and fleeing from this horrible society I can't begin to understand as soon as humanly possible. I was considering moving to Germany, but you need a university degree and a job to immigrate legally, so I can't do that obviously.
My second option, then, is to merely get a job and to live on my own, even if I live modestly. I've had it up to here with people and their forcing me to conform through any means, and the entire college system is nothing more than a giant joke. No outside-the-box ideas or actions are considered, and the way they wish you to go about things is so status quo it makes me ill. You're discouraged from seeking out people who are actually worth talking to, and are expected to associate with, to put it politely, people who have nothing in common with you (to put it purely, in my perspective, f--ing idiots.) It's so sad to watch them break every single one of the campus' rules over and over again and getting away with their antics, such as peeing in the elevator and drinking and smoking pot when it's supposed to be a dry campus (I kid you not.) The sororities and fraternities campus sponsors have no qualms about handing out alcohol to their underage littles, and hosting frat/sorority events where spirits are obviously involved--rape, anyone?! People make themselves throw up to avoid hangovers during school hours. A few days ago, I overheard two girls from my hall talking about how they didn't want a hangover the next day for class, so they made themselves throw up (I heard it too, ew.) It's utter madness--yesterday, at about four in the morning, let's just say I heard some pretty disturbing noises coming from the people next door to me and they kept me up all night with whatever they were doing... they had boys in their dorm way past visiting hours (these officially end at 12 and it was pushing on 5 a.m. and they were still at it.)
Yet, when I attempt to better my situation by seeking out someone who actually has something halfway relevant to contribute to my life, I'm reprimanded for not adhering to "normal" behaviour. Yet, no one does anything about the other things, which in my opinion are actually real problems they should be tending to instead of making my life a living Hell for no good reason--the hypocrisy has me LOL'ing harder than the trolololo guy.
Well, you know what, f--k it all, then. What is the bloody point--I can already see where this is going, and I want none of it. I'm out.
I'm at the point in my life where I honestly don't give a s--t about anything, and I would much rather drop out than go on and collect nothing but a massive debt. I've been so disillusioned--I thought college would be different from High School, and I now realize it is...even worse.
P.S. The hall vacuum cleaner got stolen. We may all have to "pitch in" to cover the costs. F--k that. They can count me out--I didn't take it, so why should I pay for other people's petty thievery?

..I think it is like that on most college campuses here in the US..I have to say that I am proud of you for not getting involved in the bullshit end of it. My son was like you..he went to college for the education..not for the party end of it. I know you will be ok...you have alot of intelligence and that is what it takes to succeed...so please rethink the dropping out. As Alma said..maybe a transfer to another college...if at all possible.?
