<p>I was an arrogant moron for telling people not to major in the humanities, I probably can’t even graduate from UCLA with a degree in general studies.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>I already accepted it and paid the 500 intro fee or whatever it’s called. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if I will go to UCLA in the Fall. I’m going to have to sleep on that for a while. </p>
<p>WHAT WILL BECOME OF MY CAT ONCE I REALLY DO END UP DROPPING OUT???</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse What are you leaning towards right now?</p>
<p>Your cat will start turning tricks on the street in exchange for food and catnip.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>Finally gathering my balls and seeing an escort for the first time.</p>
<p>Oh, you mean regarding UCLA/academics? Trying to find a supposedly easy course to replace my current one</p>
<p>I feel like such a fool for having such unrealistic expectations of college. If I go to UCLA, I feel like I will not only get into a bunch of debt, but also humiliate myself. I should have listened to the signs. </p>
<p>Screw this, I’m just going to make meth! </p>
<p>I feel lost! I have a bruised ego that I just don’t think I will ever recover from. I don’t know where I will go from here. I I am not even going to show up at my calculus class to take the test. I feel really stupid. I feel like Donald sterling when he got interviewed by Anderson Cooper. He said he was a fool for thinking that a woman was interested in a man 50 years older than her. Well, I feel exactly like that. How could I have ever thought that I could have graduated from UCLA. Man, was I a fool.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>I think we need to go sleep. The lack of it is making me hysterical and depressed.</p>
<p>^^^ I said that 90 mins ago! Sleep is your friend </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>Yes, you can do that. In fact, when you order transcripts online to send to UCLA, that seems to be the only option, at least with my school anyway.</p>

Have faith in yourself, you never know what the challenges are ahead of you, but you know only you can motivate yourself to conquer all these tough challenges. It’s not even worth to be called a battle if you had your sword and shield thrown away before the fight even begins. So, in this Summer, do a lot of research, a lot of preparation for your Fall classes, so you can be well prepared even if the professor cannot teach. Stay positive friend and don’t do drugs:) </p>
<p>As a wise adult, I am telling you, you are overthinking this and freaking out for no reason. @CollegeDropout1 just take a major you LIKE and pick a computer minor. You will be fine. Worrying is not getting you anywhere.</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse you’ve been in class for one day! … And you might just have a bad prof. If you hate him so will everyone else. Get a study group and soldier on. And it will be better as it progresses, I am sure. If not, just use it as a learning moment on how to study. Ask about the prof on the FB page. Or change classes.</p>
<p>Both io you are not giving yourself enough credit. Dumbo athletes make it through and so will you.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 How can I keep calm when I see BurntCorpse’s posts? I don’t see how anyone could ignore his posts. All my dreams and hopes shattered when I read his words. Besides, they make special dumb downed courses for athletes. I think I am going to go crazy.How could I flunk out? HOW? WHY ME? </p>
<p>@Kevindothk I think everyone that goes to UCLA comes in with that mentality, but many people with that attitude end up flunking out. Trust me, I speak from experience. My graduating class’s salutatorian ended up flunking out of UCLA. She was a very smart girl, but in the end, she could not compete with UCLA. </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 if I were your mom this is what I would tell you: major in what you want, which is History, minor in cog sci or computers or linguistics. History will serve you well.</p>
<p>No major is perfect. You’re looking for the holy grail. Unless someone is a math brainiac, it’s the same dilemma for everyone.</p>
<p>You will get a job. </p>
<p>Then if you want coding take one of the four-week dev bootcamps for about $4,000. They have a huge job placement rating. With history, cog sci (or ling), and coding, you will 100% be employable, hands down. My friend’s husband was CEO of Yahoo, I met and was on committees with the wives of top-exec tech ppl (eBay, PayPal, Genentech) through my daughter’s school. I know what I am saying. So stop with the worrying.</p>
<p>My daughter who is going to UCLA: major Communications, minor Linguistic Anthro. Is it a perfect major? Not by a long shot. But it’ll be from UCLA and her friend with a Comm major from UCSB got a job at FB one year after graduating.</p>
<p>My younger daughter is currently aiming for a major in “Linguistics and Psychology” , with a minor in cog sci. Is it the perfect major? No.</p>
<p>But they are stepping stones that combined with the UCLA brand and their sell skills should be a great combo. If you’re looking for perfect, or going into a demanding major you simply are not prepared for, but feel it will help you (read math, etc), you will be sorely dusappointed. </p>
<p>@lindyk8 Hahaha, Now that I look back at what I wrote, I know for a fact that I overacted. I don’t know how @BurntCorpse got me so work up. I think it might have been the alcohol or maybe it was because he is just so funny. I said some pretty ridicules things. I just don’t want to be unemployed. That is my biggest fear. </p>
<p>You sounded like a cross between ADHD and bi-polar. :))</p>
<p>As we are all lunatics, I will end with what
my brilliant friend Dennis Jakob (google him), seriously a genius but very troubled, said as a sign-off at the end of every convo: “Be sure to take your medication.”</p>
<p>Be sure to take your medication. 
</p>
<p>You guys really had me cracking up this morning. I just wanted to slap you both so you would stop spinning. </p>
<p>I’m glad you’re feeling better about everything after some sleep @collegedropout1 </p>
<p>This thread has taken a depressing turn in the last few pages lol. </p>
