Should I Consider Dropping Out Of College?

[Mood Indigo]

Giving up already over something you can change?

That's kind of pathetic especially taking only 15 credits. Focus, study and don't let anything distract you.

 

[Kushington]

Dont just consider it, do it.

 

[fiat_money]

Drop out.

Sounds like you ain't built for this shit.

I took 30 credits, I ONLY got 15 credits due to me withdrawing from some courses and failing others.

I need real advice, not bullshit music videos.

15 credits per semester is like standard. I was taking overload every semester which was about 21 credits per semester and I had a job and stayed on the deans list. It's not that hard if you prioritize properly and not allow yourself to get distracted. Your freshmen year is pretty much full of fluff classes anyway. Have you even declared a major yet?

Real advice is to drop out, because it sounds like you ain't built for this shit.

Quit like the title of the video.

move back home, transfer to a community college, make up those credits, and come back when you're more focused.

and stop paying all that damn money to go to college in the middle of the fucking hood.

The reason why people go to the AUC is because of the networking opportunities it presents. Not because of advanced facilities or anything of that nature.

 

[Mood Indigo]

So why were you failing and dropping classes?

 

[Little JJ]

So why were you failing and dropping classes?

Working in the city and not really devoting much time to school work. It just seems remedial to me. Im getting better experience in the city.

Well there you go. It doesn't matter how it seems. If you want a degree then you deal with it. Do you want a degree? Or do you think doing whatever you're doing in the city is going to sustain you in the long run?

Thats where the catch 22 comes in. The shit that im doing in the city could work out and sustain IF i devote more time and effort to it that I cant currently due to college. Its gonna take WORK.

and you've networked yourself right out of a scholarship & financial aid. where your priorities at?

atlanta will always be there. your opportunity to go to school without having to pay for it won't.

go home, repeat the courses where it's cheaper (since your scholarships are probably gone), and come back later.

atl ain't goin nowhere.

I would have to do the courses at a 4 year college....

But the thing is ATL is going somewhere, in the field Im in which would be music/event promotions, A&R, Artist Development, Producing And Djing. The Market can easily change, you have to take advantaged of your opportunities as they present themselves.

 

[Little JJ]

So whats your dreams?

I do event promotions and djing in ATL, I Would like to expand that to producing, a&r and artist development.

 

[haute]

JJ take ya ass to school

Promote at night

Studying during the day

Don't get caught up in that game with no degree

I've known too many who've learned the hard way with that shit

 

[moedays]

If whatever it is you want to do in life requires a college degree, then by all means you should try to stick with it, plus getting an education is never a bad thing. You don't want to be 10 years down the line wishing you finished.

Do some soul searching young warrior.

you're a college freshman. you're probably only taking english 1010/1020, a basic math, a history course...? those are prerequisite courses to just about any college program. and all are available at a community college, where they are much cheaper to take

.

but if that's really your field, stop wasting money on college, get a job, and dive head first into the nightlife/promo/DJing scene. you don't need a degree to do your thing in that kind of field.

i just hope you have a backup plan because just there's as many DJs/A&R people as there are aspiring models in ATL. you gotta have a real hustle to break into that scene.

and no, ATL ain't going nowhere. it will always (and will continue to be) a black entertainment mecca with a fast-paced nightlife scene. been that way since the 90s. you can leave and come back and the same/similar opportunities will be there.
