schools/careers, help me out here!
 

so application deadline for universities is rolling around, and again this year i have no clue.

last year i went to Sheridan College for art fundies, pretty good, enjoyable, but really made me think.

this year, i did squat.

next year, i NEED to go to school, i crave knowledge, i need to get a career on the line. (i need to party and meet new people!)

so, i still have the art thing in mind (i'm thinking something like Emily Carr, rather than sheridan, which left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth)


but, i was thinking, so long as my grades pull through- university.

so far i had ideas like this:

Enviromental Stuides (Guelph or Trent)
International Developement (Trent)


and thats all i have so far. i might have to look more into both these courses to figure em out a bit more... but, i need something where i can DO things, go places, meet people and new cultures, do things with my hands, work outdoors, help people, learn, always learn, change the world, etc. etc. etc.

basically, i need something fulfilling. i need to get the enjoyment that at the end of the day i helped someone.

anyone have any ideas that can help me narrow this down? (im from southern ontario- Whitby)

Unless you find what your are passionate about don't waste resources. You eat up your own financialy and waste the commitment of teachers and staff.

I did Environmental Studies (Environmental & Resource Science) at Trent this year and live in Peterborough. ERS is a great course, but it wasn't for me. If you have any questions about Trent or the area feel free to ask.

i've got many friends at trent and am up there all the time! love the atmosphere/people...


school is really hard for me, in that, im quite intelligent and love to learn, but am a bad student. im looking for something that'll grab me by the balls and have me shout "holy shit!" the whole way through

I'm not sure if Canada is different than the US, I somehow doubt it, in a universiry environment, you end up taking what is called "core curriculum" that is generally necessary for graduation. Those classes generally aren't exciting, but are necessarily (and it's good real life experience, because somethings in the real world are neccessary, but not exciting) You can pepper your schedule with classes that have to do with your major which will be more exciting, and force your brain to work a little.

Talk to people at the schools, see what really intersts you.
