I should've just done what the business majors were doing and gone for a party degree. Now I'm stuck with an unfinished degree that I might as well wipe my ass with and don't even know what field to major in.

The trick is you have to actually be interested. I'd go to class fucked-up and get more out of it than others because I cared. I'd get whacked-out, go to the library, slam coffee, and churn out my final semester software project in like 6 hours. Just listen in class idk.
