conflict of sticking with my environmental planning degree plan and a potentially more stable/well paying job vs wanting to go for an arts degree in literature analysis and writing and history and culture because i love it so so much but know it wont be considered ‘useful’. FIGHT

#like. did i pick this. yes.#but only because i like plants #and i like outdoor spaces #and when doing research it was a well paying and open field job-wise #however #while planning my courses i was looking under my ‘dicipline based writing’ requirement #and while i know i need to take something related to my major #oh my god #masterworks of world literature #fairytales then and now #enchanted worlds (course on germanic folk tales)#a course entirely on the age of reformation #a whole course on banned books #world cinema #politics of food and sex #extinction. an entire course on the extinction process. it goes into fossils and cultures and ethnic groups and languages and #endangered species and human extinction. that sounds so fucking cool and also extremely depressing #like. i wanna take all of these. i wanna learn!!!#but noooooo i have to pay thousands of dollars and deal with an extreme amount of stress with competing coursework and thinking about future #career paths. like. ok it’s late and these are late night thoughts. but i wanna be able to just take classes like these. and learn.#why do i have to be working towards a degree. why does there have to be an end goal. why can’t i just learn and write essays #why did they make learning stressful #and like. all of these are awesome. but realistically woudlnt work with my major. at all.#i could take extinction but there’s another course that fits my major way better that i /should/ take #me rambling #i think it’s funny there’s also a course called capitalism and debt. they just tell you don’t go to college because they take all your money #anyways. hoping that i get over it #or that i get a well enough paying job that i can take college courses when im old and still want to learn #edit: THEY ALSO HAVE A COURSE CALLED TALES OF HORROR #HISTORICAL SND POLITICAL CONTEXT OF HORROR STORIES
