I feel really ripped of by a lot of things.

I think I may have made the wrong choice in colleges. I WANTED to go abroad, I wanted to study several things, I wanted to explore new things I hadn't learned yet.

Boy was I wrong to choose music performance. This school said that they offer a wide variety of electives and that you can study abroad. But it's not true. The classes I've wanted to take have been barred from me because orchestra (required) or music history (required) etc get in the way every single semester!

I have to take a leave of absense for mental health reasons, and then they treat me not as a person any more.

I am almost 2 years behind.

My degree doesn't mean much in the professional world.

I've learned nothing of these broad things except that I want to learn more.


I really wish I had gone to another school. Someplace I could explore these interests and have friends rather than sitting in a practice room all day "not" learning theory (because it was review for 4 semesters but they refused to place me out of it) and not being able to take hte classes I WANT to because they're either scheduling conflicts or "for majors only".

I'm sick of htis school but I have another 2 years left in it.
