If you hate most liberal arts, but can draw well, go to art school! xD All joking aside, people wayyy underestimate art schools... I WISH it was just drawing all day. @_@ I'm currently at school (again) doing more work for the night. Yay animation... DEATH. But it's a major I'd die for. Multiple times. xP
But yes. College > High school.
Being able to set up your own schedule is pretty awesome too. No class Fridays, whoo. (which can also mean more time to do work. =P)
I have missed a class or two before... but skipping classes in college is pretty much wasting money every class you skip. =/ If you can catch up, and your school's not strict on attendance... then maybe not so bad. But yeah... Definitely have more freedom in college. <3
