I don't know of anything else that makes me feel as shit as university does. I'll be giving it so much money by the end, feeling like I've been a machine for the past four years and hating that there's no compromise with subjects. I understand that each degree needs to have its own list of subjects that everyone needs to do but I think a better way of the list instead of having 'compulsory' and 'elective' lists, why don't they just merge the two lists together to create a mega list that students can pick from ourselves for OUR degree that we have to pay for. Sure I think they can still set your minimum requirement of first, second, third and fourth year subjects, but fuck, at least let us choose the subjects to create our own degree. For example, I have to do a first year chemistry course. I hate chemistry, I thought I did ok on the mid-semester exam, turns out I failed, thought I did ok on the last online quiz, nooo turns out I failed that too. Now I'm going to start going to a tutor to help me understand why I think I was understanding chemistry when I actually wasn't, just so I can pass my final exam which I have to do to pass chemistry. This chemistry subject is the only chemistry subject that is compulsory for me to do for the whole time I'm at uni and I'm 100% sure I'm not going to remember a thing once it's over and that I'm not going to use it. I understand that chemistry is interesting, amazing and useful but it's just not for me so why do I have to pay for something that I hate and I'm not going to use or remember?! By having just one list of subjects to choose from I could create my degree suited for me and not be so bitter about uni.
