It's almost reassuring to know that a lot of people go through this.
I flunked out of the U of C in my second semester...(well did so bad that I decided it wasn't worth the money to continue). I wanted to be a broadcaster, but the U of C route has you taking a bunch of options that have nothing to do with it, with numerous labs and term papers etc. I took a year off and worked and slept in a lot and went out even more....then I went to Mount Royal and took a really hands-on, concentrated Broadcasting Program. There was no term papers, no real research...just hands on programs. Plus the class sizes were small, and you worked in groups a lot, which always motivates you not to suck hard. I was really re-energized by it, and enjoyed myself the whole time.
That was my solution, as I found Mount Royal was a much more "high school" environment, and that happened to be where I excelled. I never liked writing papers, especially about stuff I truly didn't care about...so my most obvious solution was to take a program that really didn't involve that at all. I suppose trying to get a BSc that's really not an option...but sometimes a change of scenery works.
