Are any of you guys staying an extra semester or two? I think I'm going to double major, which means I'll have to stay at least another semester (maybe two).

Yes, I'm a 5th-year senior, hoping to graduate next semester. I hate college so much.

I'll be staying one extra semester to finish my double degree. Hopefully just that.

Extra semesters? More like extra years.

First year: Went to university
Second year: Transferred to a community college
Third year: Dropped out of community college
Fourth year: Went to a university again, but a different school than the first
Fifth year: Went part time
Sixth year: Returned to full time studies

Now I am in my seventh year of Life After High School. Add in a couple of summer semesters, and you can probably guess how tired I am of school.

Thank god I graduate in May.

Summer 2000: started taking community college classes
January 2001: officially left high school, first term as a full-time college student
Winter 2002: Transferred to UCLA as a junior. Therapist made my parents come get me and take me home.
Winter 2003-Fall 2007: Transferred back to UCLA. Lots of withdrawing, some unattended quarters, only one semester in which I completed more than two classes

Since then, I have been taking community college classes for fun here and there, mostly part time. I was thinking I might apply to go back and finish my degree in January, but I'm not sure anymore.

So, yeah, I've taken a few extra.

I'm double majoring (Chinese and Journalism), and I am only walking in with ten/fifteen credits (not sure). I'm only taking sixteen credit hours, but plan to take more next quarter. Chances of me having to do any extra year is pretty high up, and I'm not excited about it.
