hi
It hasn't gotten better in the college endeavors. In some areas, yeah, I've have been more engaged in the coursework, but nothing really changed outside of that.
My college offers degrees that are just there to get you into entry jobs quickly, and I've been working on one based on computer science since summer. It does have it use cases, but my main issue has mainly been regarding myself choosing this.
There isn't much professor choice in terms of the computer science classes, it's mainly just one guy, and even if it's someone else, they just use content from that one guy for their own course. And I guess it's just bad luck as I don't really like the setup very much. The student interaction is practically non-existent (unless it's in-person which is also quite non-existent for some fucking reason), they usually move way too fast (though not the case for 16 week courses?) and they can be cheesed through very easily which might be by design (?), except this semester there are video requirements in 2 of my classes, so something might of triggered it to happen.
There's also just the fact that I have a bunch of issues regarding myself still. While it has brought the most I've been engaged with in class, it also has done the opposite. It's really just the same, tedious stuff, even if I have passion in computers. It could just be my autism though refusing to cooperate with my goals. Could be something else.
A part of me regrets not dropping out when I could, or even just not attending in the first place. It has failed to bring me almost everything I wanted out of it in the long run and is causing me way to much distress which is not I wanted. I could of saved myself from all of this by not signing up. What a fool I am...
(fyi: I still see worth in going to college, but that worth isn't really showing for me. If you fare better in school than I do, perhaps things will be different for you. These are just my feelings.)
