I want to finish college as soon as possible! It seems like I have been in school forever and i'm about half way in getting my Associates in Science. I'm ready to start life and get out of school! I have been in school my whole life and I feel like its a never ending road. If i completed one requirement a new one pops up to set me back. I don't want to be stuck as a CNA for the rest of my life.

I know the feeling, I have been in college since 2009 and I won't be graduating till 2016. Don't focus on how long you have been in school focus on the degree and if you feel something is wrong speak to you Academic Advisory. Good Luck

i know what you feel it feels like your stuck in that stage and a bit tired of the routine of going to school... i tell you you should enjoy one day at a time in school..don't hurry things up..if you finish school you'll have to encounter another step which is more serious (finding a job,paying bills,having a lot more responsibilities).. so just live by the moment and do your best :)

Sounds like you need a break. I graduate to get my Associates in 11 months. I plan on getting my Bachelor's. Then I plan on going forward to my Masters. I am a little worried about working and going to school at the same time. I haven't been working but I plan on getting a part time or possibly full time job when I graduate, and I am going to start taking classes for my Bachelors in about 12 months. So a month after I receive my Associates, I will take classes for my Bachelors. I enjoy college. You should keep in mind that it will pay off. I also understand needed a break though. I have had breaks during college, I think everyone needs them. Everyone at least needs a week or two off once in a while.
Does your school give you any type of break? Such as winter break, or christmas break? I get a break typically in between my classes. When classes end, I get a break and then I start new classes. I like the routine, I like having breaks in between classes.
I suggest you do everything you can to relax during your breaks. I also suggest taking at least a day or two a week to just relax. I know college is a lot of work, and sometimes I don't get a day or two a week to relax. Next week I have three papers due and I think I will be very busy all week.
I wish you luck, and hope that you are able to at least graduate to get an Associates.

everyone want to finish they college as soon as possible. But for me, college not same as school. in my country when you school, you must wear uniform, when college you not wear uniform anymore.that is one of example of the different between school and college on my country. what about you?

I know what you mean..I'm in my sophomore year of college and I'm so ready to be done. I really hate school and wish it was just over already. I'm ready to move out of my parents' house and live on my own. I've been in school pretty much my entire life and I want to finish so badly because I just hate it :(

Well, I'm still in high school! I actually don't want to leave high school, I'm in my senior year and next year I have my major exams which will determine which college and career path I will do. Australia is pretty tough on their exams and ranking! I just can't believe that almost half my life, I will be in school studying and studying all the time. I thought high school was the end but there's still college to get through,. If you want to be a Doctor, it's like another 6 to 10 years of your life in school. I'm planning to do a course which is only 3 years if I don't fail it! Seems school is so repetitive and it ain't getting any easier, I want to move on with life and get a career already but I'm still far off from there From where I come from, you better not fail each year in university because if you do, you have to repeat over and over again, which means more costs and more school!
