I'm contemplating taking a semester off of school just because I am so sick of it. I know this might sound like I am really lazy but here's the deal: I am really sick of school, I…

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I strongly recommend you finish out your school year and graduate. It's very hard to start school after stopping, especially when you'v…

don't tell them your timeframe.

Agreed, don't tell them when you are planning on leaving. I'll also reiterate, try to stick to it one more semester! PLEASE, just do it, you'll be kicking yourself later in life!

Why not just get a co-op or an internship? If you're a senior there must be plenty of opportunities for an internship. Don't just defer a semester and work at Wal-Mart or something…

Suck it up. Finish. One semester in the whole scheme of life is trivial. In ten years you'll look back and think of how foolish it was to have quit with the goal so close at han…

Don't rush out of college... BUT FINISH. As long as you KNOW you will go back, I wouldn't think twice about taking a semester off. Get a job and feel what the real world is like..…

Find a girlfriend!

the 2nd idea is a little more encouraging.... Trust me, the real world ain't that much easier, we get sick of school, sick of jobs, sick of locale.... just finish any way you can. …

I went to my local Apple Store (Knox Street - Dallas, TX) to get my son's iPod Shuffle repaired. While there, I asked about the new Intel iMacs - they had two 17" units in stock, a…

Okay, this is a seriously superficial question. What does booting up look/sound like? Is it the gray Apple logo and familiar chime we have come to know and love, or is there a no…
