I'm a first year at university right now, and I'm starting to wonder if it's really what I want to be spending the next two and a half years of my life on. A lot of the time I feel like I'd rather be working full time somewhere, saving up money and using my time to work on personal projects rather than essays I don't really care about.
Is my first semester too soon to tell?
I guess I'd work through my first year at least, but honestly I can't see the point some days. I'm doing an english degree, and want to go into scriptwriting, either for television or for comic books.

Does anybody have experience with dropping out?
Or any advice that kept you in school?
