American higher education: 1; Candice: 0.
Feb. 13th, 2008 10:49 amI am a broadcast communications major, and my minor choices are between film and history. I'm leaning more towards film, though, so I went to talk to the art department advisor to talk about what I need to do to minor, or possibly double-major.
If I minor, I will have a harder time getting into upper level classes since I'm not majoring. If I double-major, I will have to be in school for three more years.
...I was kind of hoping that with summer school, I would graduate next spring.
That's it. My choices are few, and they are:
1. Dropping out of school (UH, NO)
2. Marrying someone independently wealthy so I can finish school (whyyy did my five year plan to marry a Backstreet Boy fall through?!)
3. Resort to prostitution to afford school (UH, NO again)
4. Somehow become independently wealthy on my own (which means that I either need to win a reality show that gives away money or promise of a career that will give me LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY so that I will NEVER HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN. Or somehow write the Next Great American Novel and immediately sell the rights to that so it could be made into a high grossing movie)
5. Add Google banner ads to my LJ (is that even possible?)
6. Rob a bank (UH, NO. Unless I develop powers like Hayden Christensen in Jumper.)
7. Come up with something that will be bigger than Google, MySpace, and YouTube combined. Sell it to Google or Microsoft. Have so much money I will never need to worry about money or edumacation EVER AGAIN.
I. I don't even know. I don't have to make a decision RIGHT NOW, but, well, one in the next few weeks would be excellent.
