Here's the thing, you are going to die.
Start living like it.
Get the experiences you want outta life. You wanna go learn about social sciences and get a degree? Well don't let a silly thing that "I'm closer to death" stop you.
Will there be group projects? Most likely. Not the experience ya want? Find a different way to learn that shit.
This is it. This is the only chance you have. This is not a dress rehearsal. Fill your life with what you want to do. If getting a degree is important to you, and group projects and higher ed types get under your skin? Find a different road (is online an option in your locality?) or knuckle down and endure the discomfort to get what you want out of life.
It's your life, go get it!
