I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel like I'm going anywhere. Nothing's happening, I'm having anxiety problems which are keeping me from getting any kind of job, and I'm generally just stagnating. I'd honestly given up on the idea of school once I was out of high school, and especially after my failed year at SFA.
Last night, whilst watching Game of Thrones for the first time, :iconblackfoxoutcast: and I had a conversation. During this conversation, she suggested I go back to school to get a degree in music/music history. I'd never thought about that. I LOVE music. I love to learn about music, genres, musicians, bands, equipment, etc.. Music is about the only thing I love more than dinosaurs. And she thinks I could be a really good music history teacher, seeing as I love to blather on to her about musicians and genres she couldn't give two shits about, plus a love of history is in my blood, coming from my father.
Now, I'm not going to rush into anything, that's how SFA happened. But I'll definitely take this into consideration. A degree like that won't get me any jobs any time soon, but I'll finally be getting off my ass and bettering myself.

What do you guys think? Any advice, words of encouragement, and whatnot?

I think that's wonderful! I don't have many words of advice since I haven't been to college yet officially, but I'm behind you all the way! It's a lot of work, though, so you should be prepared to drop everything while you get your degree.
