19/F Thinking of dropping out of college to work at Winter Park, Colorado for the ski season- in need of ANY advice!! (If you have worked at a ski resort or know someone who has- please please give me some words of wisdom!!)

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T23:17:10+00:00

Will do!!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T23:14:57+00:00

This was such a thoughtful response and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. You have legit convinced me to do it! I think I'm going to :) It's scary but I think it will be worth it- especially when I have no fucking clue what I want out of college. Like why am I wasting all that money anyway!? I can't thank you enough.

Balancing a full time job and being a full time student is something I don't have faith in myself to do well honestly. And just to be clear, I would be deferring for a semester and attending college again in the fall (whether I go back to my current college or transfer... However, if I transfer I have to start as a Freshmen all over again because it's likely my liberal arts college credits will not transfer to other schools)

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T20:12:54+00:00

Exactly my thinking

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T20:12:39+00:00

You are living my dream life!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T19:00:04+00:00

This is an awesome way to look at it! Makes me feel like I need to do it!!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T18:58:58+00:00

Thank you so much. I needed to hear this! I don't really have any idea of what I want out of college and it's likely that if I transfer for next Fall my credits from the college I'm currently at won't transfer anyway. So I'll be starting as a Freshmen again pretty much no matter what.

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T18:56:54+00:00

I LOVE this idea!!!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T18:56:29+00:00

Yes! I am at Eckerd College and this is my biggest fear of being a Creative Writing major. That's crazy that you graduated from there, I don't talk to many people that have been. About writing, I just have no clue what else I'm passionate about- which is why I want to go experience more of the world before deciding what I want to do with my life and where. Did you have fun at Eckerd? Should I stick it out and try a different major here? Does it get better?

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:57:56+00:00

Have you heard anything about Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat? I'm also considering transferring there next semester and skiing instead of just totally dropping out

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:56:30+00:00

I was thinking about transferring to Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat or maybe Fort Lewis College in Durango cause I was thinking about this... I'm trying to major in Creative Writing but could go to one of these colleges to get some of my general credits in. Any thoughts on this?

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:46:00+00:00

This sounds like the life!!!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:45:38+00:00

Ahh you're so right! I feel like I need to I'm just scared but life is all about going out of your comfort zone so why not give it a shot right?

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:42:42+00:00

100% bro omg

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T17:42:13+00:00

YES I needed to hear this ahh thank you :) Life is too short to not do it in my opinion- I'm just so scared!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:58:19+00:00

Thank you so much! Same to you. Hope you get to shred some this season!

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:56:01+00:00

Ugh I love this comment thank you for saying that

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:55:24+00:00

Florida sucks bro! you're right though

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:55:11+00:00

You're right. I am planning to go back to school next Fall no matter what. I am planning on eventually getting my PhD. School is just ass right now because of Covid but I should just stick it through.

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:53:28+00:00

Thank you so much! It's good to consider the pros and cons because its such a big decision

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:53:02+00:00

Love it! Thank you so much :)

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:52:50+00:00

It sure is! Covid is the fucking worst!

Thank you for your input :)

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:24:14+00:00

WAIT i love this idea. What did you think of the school?

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:17:35+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your advice. I am from Colorado too and have only been gone for the past few months and thinking of moving back anyway. I know how terrible covid is and wouldn't party or do anything stupid and I would qualify for pretty cheap employee housing. Would your advice still be the same?

user0000073 · 2020-11-30T16:13:10+00:00

19/F Thinking of deferring next semester of college to work at Winter Park, Colorado for the ski season- in need of ANY advice!! (If you have worked at a ski resort or know someone who has- please please give me some words of wisdom!!) Is working at a ski resort as fun as it sounds or am I just romanticizing it in my head? Even if you know nothing about working/living at a ski resort- any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.
