Members 23miles Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 College is about growth, development, and maturity. It can be a wonderful and challenging experience. However, as in other aspects of life, there are growing pains. One of the discomforting things is that, in order to meet the new challenges, one often must change his habits to accomodate his new obligations. One of the most important things you learn in college is "time-management." You also learn how to prioritize. I tell my sons that college is a "job" and that they, as working stiffs, should expect to work 8 hours a day on their job. Sleeping requires another 8 hours. The good news is that leaves 8 hours of personal time (grooming and hygiene, eating, recreation, and etc). I am sure that you can find time to play the guitar in that 8 hours of personal time, but you probably can't do that and watch TV, screw around on the internet, party, play basketball, shoot the {censored} with you friends, hustle chicks, and all of the other nincompoopery that is associated with "college life."Make your choices, do you want to play the guitar or dou you wnat to waste time on HC. IM, and all of that other BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XeroStar33 Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 I always found a little time to play. Sometimes the studying takes its toll and it's nice to just sit down for a little while, play some guitar, and clear my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members coachE Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 My room mates and their friends all played. I got a lot better in college and played all the time. And yes I did graduate and have a successful coaching career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueTimber Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yea, you just need to manage your time. Think about people who work during school like me. No {censored}in time at all. That's why when I transfer, I'm taking out a loan for the fall, so I can concentrate more on other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 I usually get about 20-30 mins of fun free play per day, even during the busiest times. I use it as a study break when it gets really bad. I also take jazz lessons for course credit so I make sure to get some firm practice in every week. But practicing for lessons and just playing for fun are different for me. It's a good way to pick up easy credits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueTimber Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 The thing is, instrument playing wouldn't factor anyway to my major. They'd be useless, tacked on credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mercer Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 I plan on double-majoring in Music and English, then heading off to lawschool (that's my "plan B") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XeroStar33 Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 The thing is, instrument playing wouldn't factor anyway to my major. They'd be useless, tacked on credits. Others might have more luck if they have room for free elective courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
