I thought about UCR...they're one of the few schools in california that offers a degree in Creative Writing. CSULB has a creative writing minor and a Master's creative writing program (which is pretty competitive, but they all are) but no goddamn Bachelor's. whatever.
for all you highschoolers that are/will be graduating, do you have any ideas as to what you want to major in?

I was going to graduate this month but I decided I didn't want to leave town so now I have a second major and I will be sticking around here for another year. I'm in the middle of finals. It fucking sucks. That is all.

The only reason why I would have considered it at all would be having class mates that possibly actually give a damn about what they are doing (something mostly lacking in the classes I was in which towards the end of my study kind of started to kill my own motivation for studying) and maybe some more interesting higher level subjects. But shrug, I was 24 when I got my Bachelor's so by the time I'd get my Master's I'd be about 27.

I'm in the second year of my bachelor's course in IT and I can relate to that situation... not even 20% of the population is truly serious towards what they are doing. Sometimes I wish I was better at chemistry, so I could have gotten admission at a better university.
I'm not going for a master's either.. the same reasons you mentioned.

oh snap!
I'm thinking of doing my master's in creative writing...but MFA programs are always really tough to get into. If I don't get accepted into any, I'll just get my masters in English
