I was just wondering what people thought of their univ experience or someone they know or just thoughts on the whole thing. I'm graduating in April, and looking back, the past four years have been such a waste. I've been unhappy the ENTIRE time. It's been boring and mind numbing, and also very lonely. I don't live "on campus" so I've only made 2 friends that I still talk to, and that's only online, only every couple of months.

I also feel like I've lost all my creativity. I used to write poetry and short stories all the time, and I was really proud of them. I loved to write, and I even won some school and district contests in high school. But at univ, where I'm always writing an essay that has the same formula, I have the hardest time writing even a descriptive paragraph. It's all about expository prose. I tired to write a poem the other night, and I got all caught up in the punctuation.. good grief!! There is a creative writing program at the school, but I don't like the faculty or their beliefs about writing. It's all "post-modern" and nothing else flies. Which I totally disagree with.. I think writing is an expression of oneself that shouldn't really have any "rules" but whatever.. I'm not the head of the department.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else hated univeristy? I feel like I've wasted the last four years of my life and a LOT of money on a degree that's pretty much usless to me.. when I could have gone directly into something else, graduated in a year and had a sucessful career by now.

Any thoughts?
