College Concerns

My biggest concerns about college is not that I will fail nor is it that the work will become too stressful and become overpowering of my life. My main problem is how much time it will take me to receive a degree. This is my third year of college and I am just now starting on my major. In most cases this is the norm, but that isn't the case in architecture. In the architecture department classifications run different from the rest of the university's; it is first year arch, second year arch, third and fourth year arch. That isn't including the two years of grad school and also your classification in the university plays no role. So if you are a junior entering the program then you still have to go through the entire process. Well that is the way I understand it anyway. I am now twenty with a twenty-first birthday approaching and I cannot feel as if I will not be receiving my professional degree until I am twenty-six or twenty-seven years old... that's not whats up people! I am very much hoping that I am assuming all the wrong things and it doesn't take that long or if it does it blows by so quickly that I don't realize how long it has been.
