hey, i'm writing on this board to get some opinions and advice...
Well, I am now at college. but I am having a hard time with it just not clicking.. it's not anything like I had expected it to be. I am just taking some basic courses like for example, psych 101, english 101, bio 101, etc. No music courses except for a once-a-week voice class. When I had entered I had thought that I wanted to major in Psychology, but now I find that it is simply not deep in my soul to do.
So anyways, I haven't really fallen in love with the school at all! I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep the whole time that I have been here. I have been here a month now so it is turning to be a huge problem.
You may have remembered when I was first looking into colleges I was most interested in music programs. Being here, I have now come to the realization that what I want to dedicate my life to is...singing! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! There have been ideas that have been racing through my head.. like really following my dreams and maybe doing something really illogical(?) like dropping college all together maybe and moving to Boston or NY or something.. but I know that is stretching it reallllllly far out there.. There would be too much family backlash I'd have to face..so I think it's definetly out of the question.. Should I attempt to attend a full-blown music school? I am just not being fulfilled with my courses right now that I am enrolled in.
I'm not sure if I am portraying my situation well to you.. Do you understand what I am trying to say? I am one of those independent types that doesn't tend to just go along and follow the mainstream. I have always gone my own way, many a time with much resistance.
As you can tell, I am confused on what I should do. On one hand my heart is telling me to go for the music, but on the otherhand, I am faced with a reality that my parents and family want me to go through college.
AHHHHH!!! Help?
Thank you for reading.
