There must be a way out

So I've talked a lot about my whole problem of not knowing what to major in and whatnot. It's just really hard for me to not know what to do and not have a plan. That's why school is so dreadful for me right now. It's not that I don't love college or anything, I just hate classes. And I know I'm not the only one, but I really hate it. I'm skipping one of my classes right now actually. I just feel like it's pointless for me to sit in these classes that have no purpose for me and I don't even know what classes I do want to be taking. My roommate has been feeling kind of the same way, so we've divised a plan to get out of here. I know it's really sad but I just don't feel determined to do anything. I want to sing, but I don't want to go to college for it. If I got a degree in singing, I wouldn't have a job that paid me enough money after college. So I've decided to go on American Idol. Everyone has always told me to do it before, but I never really took them seriously. My sister got mad at me when I didn't try out when they were in Memphis. I just never really thought about it because I didn't want to miss out on anything here. Well now I've realized I'm not missing out on anything and I really just want to get out of here. So I'm waiting until August and I think I'm gonna try out. My roommate wants to try out for The Real World. So our plan is to both go on our reality tv show of choice and then get famous and have our own show! That would be cool. We always joke about how we should have our own show because we are so much fun. Ha....well who knows. All I know is I have to figure out something because I really can't stand school anymore.

I was feeling the same way. Well, I didn't want to go on Idol, but I have had my thoughts of just doing something. I don't know if it will help you or not, but if you continue college, you should take Career Development. I am taking it now with Patricia Woodman and it is really helping me to narrow my decision making, and you get credit hours for taking it, so what do u have to loose? I like the class and Mrs. Woodman is really cool, you should look into it. Let me know if you decide to do it so I can feel good about suggesting it, lol.

I feel the same way. I am going to school, and I feel like it's for no reason. I mean I have already changed majors once, and I'm just a freshman. That should tell me something. As of right now, I can't stand school because I feel like I am wasting my time because I don't know what I want to do. I think you should definetely try out for American Idol. I mean really what's it gonna hurt? All they can tell you is no, and you're right back where you are now, so I think you should go for it. You never know what might happen.

Emily! I really think you should try out for American Idol in August! how Awesome would that be to make it to the hollywood round and maybe even further. I think you have a good voice to defintley make it to Hollywood. It's funny you wrote about this because when i was in knoxville for spring break visiting kelly, she started singing for everyone because she wasn't really sober haah but she sound amazing! i have always told her to try out for American Idol. I think she may be considering it. You should talk to her and maybe yall can go wait in line together =)

p.s. i can so see angie being on the real world haha!
