What's up, /adv/? I'm in an odd spot.
I just started my new semester in college and as I looked through my classes I realized I was wasting my time. I took some classes to fill in the gaps of the requisites while I transferred to my new concentration next semester. The thing is, I've never liked college. I always felt like I was wasting my time. It wasn't until this summer that I seriously considered dropping out and here's why.
I got a gig with a few friends playing music, and I gotta tell you, it's been the highlight of these two college years for me in a lot of ways. I can't begin to explain how great it felt to have people listening, cheering and us playing songs and just hanging out afterwards with the band.
You might see where I'm going with this. I'm aware that pursuing any sort of art is hard as fuck but goddamn, it felt good. I've always loved music but this made me realize that I could seriously do this while I do some odd jobs here and there. I have no expectations of becoming famous, at all, and just ride it through and see where it takes me. I also would like to pursue writing.
Anyways, I feel like I'll be wasting away this semester. I already paid for part of the classes. I guess I just want to know what you guys think and if by chance there was any musician here who could help out. I'm terrified of moving out on my own. What could I do to make this semester productive?
If you are really sure, that you're gonna drop out, get a job and make as much money possible for the time after this semester. You're gonna need it.

What did you change to?
Don't. There's no money in music. You can't even make ends meet in a cockroach infested apartment. Just do it on the side

I wasn't planning on making money through the music.
