Well, I've been toying with an idea for months and I've been too nervous to tell friends and family, so here it is in the blogosphere. Maybe if I can articulate my feelings, I can make a final decision.
I'm thinking of dropping out of college.
Honestly, I haven't learned a damn thing in 3 years of post-high school education. It is very frustrating.
I am tired of waiting for my life to truly begin. There are things I want to do. I want to spend my energy writing a book and trying to get it published. I want to focus on my job and acquiring some form of financial security. I want to volunteer with charities and contribute to the world. I want days off so that I can stay at home and work on my relationship with my fiancee. I want to start my own business and watch it flourish or fail. I want to learn from crazy mistakes and be able to say: "Hey, I have experienced some crazy things."
Between working full time and going to school full time, I haven't been able to do any of those things in quite some time.
I'm also beginning to think I should change my major from theatre to public relations. I need time to think that through.
Also, I have a year to plan a wedding, and I want time to focus true creative energy into that so that I can have a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
These are simply thoughts in my head. I haven't made a final decision. But I'm walking that fine line.
Now I simply need the nerve to tell my mother.

I think you should hold out for another year if anything. I mean you already have three years under your belt so why not go for the bachelors were it counts, unless you just truly hate it, in that case you should quit. Life is too short to put up with BS.
