The yaa...ahh..h thread was a bit too happy and cheery so:
I, for one, am disappointed in jumpguy.

Yeah but I hate the college too.. It's not even the work, the work is grand, easy if anything. I already switched course too, yet I'm still not happy here..

NOT TELLING YOU TO DROP OUT but find out the date (I think it's in october) where you can leave college and not be liable for fees when you do decide to do another course.

Aww Noel

if you're really not happy you shouldn't make yourself put up with it. There's no shame in dropping out! And if you like the actual course, maybe you could see if there is any other colleges that offer something similar? If you want to give it a go and living on campus is pissing you off most, maybe try and get a room down town? I know how sh1t living on campus is; it was definitely a factor in me taking time off college a few years ago! And like Sarah said, you have until the end of October to drop out without having to pay fees if you go back to do a new course

Give me a text/PM if you need a chat!

So lads.. I actually did it.. I dropped out.. I know it's a decision that loadsa people will probably think I was stupid for and stuff, but I really don't care. I'm putting my happiness before it.. and I will go back to college, I'll go back next year!

Thanks to all the boardsie who offered advice.. really means a lot:)

**Timbuk2** · 30-09-2011 10:07am

Noel, sorry to hear that! I had no idea that you weren't enjoying college (on the contrary, I thought you were really liking it - I know that you switched courses though), so this is a bit of a shock!

What part of it was bothering you? Was it living on campus? Because there's often easy remedies to problems that don't involve dropping out, unless you think you're in completely the wrong course!

You can PM if you ever need to talk/vent and don't want to put it on the public forum! Hope you get what you want next year anyway

soccymonster · 30-09-2011 10:26am

I think someone stood on my toe last night.. I'm not sure. But it's like..oh gosh!!! really sore and probs infected. oh no

Ah yeah I LOVED Maynooth, don't get me wrong. I just grew to hate my course, the structure of everything here, and the whole living situation.. It was all just way too much to live with..

Fair play man, that's a really brave decision to make. Haven't you dropped out before the fees deadline anyway? So you're grand if you wanna reapply next year?

I think its much more mature to make that decision Noel, than sticking it out where you know you don't like it, and ending up costing yourself/your parents much much more in the long run. Well done!

Had the week from hell this week, thank god it's nearly over.

My subjects this year are horribly dry and difficult. My best friend dropped out and I used to hang around with her ALL the time, I miss her terribly

And I don't even have her around to complain to so as well as feeling lonely I'm kind of bottling everything up and not talking about it. The other people I'm good friends with are either leaving altogether or transferring to different courses in the next few weeks. My timetable is AWFUL. I've been getting less than five hours sleep a night and yesterday I was so tired that I was in agony and could barely stand. I'm completely and utterly broke so I can't do any of the printing/photocopying I need to do, so I've already fallen way behind.

I want to go back to last year, everything was okay then but now it's just shít. In a few weeks I won't have any proper friends in my class, which is a scary prospect. And because I'm so shattered every tiny thing that goes wrong feels like the end of the world. Being so dissatisfied just makes me want to go on Erasmus next year even more, in the hope that things would be better. I really am so down now, though.

Yeah I rang the grant people too, and they'll pay the reg fee, etc, next year too! Here's to a year out..

Really sorry to hear college wasn't working out for you Noel, I know dropping out is a horrible decision to have to make, but coming from someone who has been there it's hands down the best decision I made. I have no regrets about it at all. I'm here if you want to talk to anyone about it

ohthebaby · 30-09-2011 6:49pm

How am I supposed to fit my whole life into 30kg? I hate packing.

Aww pet, that definitely sounds like the week from hell!! **hugs** Would you consider having a chat with the counselling service on campus or anything? Not saying you need counselling, but it's always good to have someone impartial to have a rant to and stuff. Like I know the ones in my college have been unreal to me for stuff like that before. I'm always here if you need a chat too!!

My teeth have been annoying me recently, they're so sore! I thought I was already wise enough but apparently not :pac: :pac: Also it's really wet outside and I want coke, buuuut I don't want to walk to the shop.

Sleep is for the weak, and apparently I'm weak.

You're leaving?!

And my passport would expire a week after I turn 18, so now have to wait ages for a new one, and I can't get a Garda ID without it. Trek.

I really must get into this noise the kids are on about. Noise and eventual deafness, I think it's called in the slang. It's very socially limiting not to.

One of my best friends is moving to France really soon too! I'm going to miss her loads

Wear as much clothes as possible on the flight over? :pac:

I need to stop being so lazy >.<

Aoifey! · 30-09-2011 10:17pm

(A bit late but...)

Well done Noel, it's a hard decision to make but if you really didn't like the course then there was no point in staying there. And anyways, Waterford ain't so bad for a bit, to Masons with you

Salty · 30-09-2011 11:28pm

Fair play Noel, that was a really hard decision to make. You'll benefit so much more from taking a year out, and really looking for something you'd like to do. And you won't have the stress, distraction and pressure of the LC.:)

And you're still young..you'll be 19 when you start college next year, so it's not like you'll be older than your peers and stuff!

Come to UCC next year btw..it's legendary >_>
