I've been Busy!!! Gomen!!
5 years ago
College stuff started to take a toll in me, and some other irl but those weren't much of a big deal. So I apologize for delays on the YCH and commissions!
(The rest is a rant so it would be ok to skip it)
It's nothing really big, it's just since middle school I really never put much effort into school due to good grades, and college classes hit me like a truck, I have very bad discipline when it comes to studying and whatnot, I never had to do so much of that before, at first college felt great but it's wearing me down a lot. I never actually wanted to continue studying but due to expectations and peer pressure, I decided to attend our local college.
If this keeps going I will most likely drop out, save up a bit for the upfront cost of moving out, and move out. Thankfully I know I am able to live comfortably by myself with commissions. Ha, living with my family actually holds me down as well due to well, having to hide the fact that I draw NSFW stuff, they know I do commissions, but not NSFW. My mom being a Christian, my dad is uhm, I actually have no idea how to describe him, and having three nephews living together, I have no privacy since I don't have a door in my room, it's difficult to draw during the day and I only have a couple of hours in the night when they're all in bed to draw, my sleep schedule is bad due to that and I am consistently tired during the day.
Moving out would be a huge boost in productivity due to the aforementioned reasons.

Otherwise, find out your teachers office hours and plan to try their homework beforehand, then when their office hours hit, you can ask them questions and try to learn what's up with the problem.
Finally, choose your professors wisely with websites like rate-a-prof. The professor can make all the difference in the world - some of which will leave memories with you that can last a lifetime.
No matter what though, it will take a lot of work to make it in college and the courses do get harder and your options narrower as you choose your major. But then, you might get less freaked out by studying by then, too.
Ethics, etc, those are the problems for me, I was never good for writing reports, essays, etc. I might end up moving out to a one-room apartment and focus on drawing for a living. I do have a bit saved up but I have no idea about how much the expensives are going to be.
I got a B+ in ethics. But it was a heck of a lot of fun. We got into all kinds of lively discussions about what was truly good in the world. Lots of people felt love was the one true good. Our instructor was convinced that the only good was actually absolute knowledge. He didn't have a bad argument, though I always faulted him for including one of his 'requirements' for The Good, absolute, as an adjective. I went on to conclude that such a thing made it non-singular, and you could attach all his requirements as adjectives to the noun, peanut butter sandwich, and it would equally as valid a solution as absolute knowledge. That is, all humans should spend their lives seeking this glorious sandwich and all it's peanut-buttery goodness. He was not entirely happy with this, but he respected me for my opinions.
He was also a preterist, which is fascinating if you like what your parents taught you about Christianity in any way. Hopefully you have some lively discussions in ethics, too. Otherwise it will just be boring.
