Final year students, can't wait to leave University?

Only next week left, and 3 more exams in 8 days

I can't wait to get the hell out

A while ago, I didn't want to leave

Now, University is just making me depressed

How does everyone else feel?

Do you have a job and everything lined up... because I'd imagine that would make things a lot easier for you?

No!

I might fail my degree!

What makes you think that the "real" world is going to be any easier?

at least the real world is just that....that's a comforting thought for me personally.

I can understand the attraction - I was the same at the end of my first degree, eager to experience what I perceived to be the real world. It wore off quite quickly though, and now I'm relishing my return to the "unreal" world of academia. Each to his own, I suppose.

My comment was specifically aimed at guest1984 - having read a number of his posts on this forum, he doesn't exactly strike me as the hard-working, focussed type. I therefore wondered what exactly he was expecting from post-university life, apart from a regular income, and how dealing with work-related stress, deadlines and pressures was going to be any easier than dealing with university ones...

Yep, some people are cut out for academia, well, in the formal sense, in an education system, geared towards the acquisition of qualifications. However, one shouldn't (i don't think i'm aiming this at you) willy-nilly slaughter those who don't work hard and are not focused...there are explanations for this, often decent ones deserving of respect and empathy. My mother for example, she's intelligent, took History as a degree and for her personally, the contrived atmosphere of learning turned her off...her course at university, the learning context made her literally go from loving learning history to hating it. This, akin to my own situation, some people's personalities are (more/far more) compatible to a formal learning structure than others - so to an extent this explains why some are so lethargic towards their studies. I can relate to an extent, personally speaking...these aren't feeble excuses. I love learning, reading, i'm the type who wants to learn so much, possess great awareness, understanding of issues...but such desire for me, is killed in a formal structure....no matter what course i took, it wouldn't work out, even if it was aligned to my interests, even 'perfectly' aligned...it's still employed for me, in a contrived artificial manner 'learning for the sake of learning' esque.

You're absolutely right - different people are motivated by different environments. Perhaps I was letting my impression of the OP cloud my post...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

There's no doubting Guest1984 is an attention-seeker He's a harmless lad mind you, judging by his pointless threads...

My last post was pretty commonsensical, you know all that as well as i do...apologies if it came across as otherwise (that i didn't think you'd appreciate this perspective), i'd be insulting your intelligence otherwise....just to clarify.

in a way yes i want it all over with, i'm in my second year...

just (like people have mentioned) the structure of the courses and learning, it does put me off at times.

Also the uni and the people itself at times, some people around here are so so fake and piss me right off, I was at the union saturday night and I was really quesitoning my sanity of being surrounded by such idiots
