My first semester, I got a D in creative writing.

So basically, I graduated high school a semester early.

I started college Pre-Med. That lasted about half a semester.

I spent one semester in Air Force ROTC, as I wanted to be a pilot.

I was a lesbian for a semester at Wesleyan - it was a graduation requirement.

I'm fine I said for the 2,467th time this semester. (I know. I was keeping count)

First semester I took classes like econ and that kind of stuff, and I was miserable.

I am a student of a business school in Delhi and went back for my final semester exams.

Boston's such a unique city. I feel like 50 percent of its DNA turns over every semester.

After a semester or so, my infatuation with computers burnt out as quickly as it had begun.

When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn't be playing football.

I majored in art history. But I took theater classes, and every semester I was in college productions.

I was a freelancer at CNN during the second semester of my senior year at George Washington University.

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.

Many universities have asked me to come for a semester but I don't want to do it because I don't have the patience.

I was going to finish my university degree after finishing 'The Tailors,' but 'Pinocchio' made me to take another semester off.

I told college I was gonna take a semester off, but I knew I was never going back. I felt like the walls were closing in on me.

I was doing nuclear med I didn't like it. My first semester I switched to film major. YouTube helped make that decision for me.

I know every year what my players get and what courses they get them in. I get a report every semester. What course. What grades.

I played the guitar in ninth grade. My sister's friend went on a semester abroad, and she left the guitar at our house for nine months.

I used to really panic about finals. I didn't understand the concept of how you could have one test that encompasses the entire semester.

At the beginning of every semester, I ask my graduate students whether there is something I should read that will help me understand their work.

I took a semester off to film 'Scream Queens,' which was a great decision because it was an incredibly wild experience that did a lot for me as far as my career.

I spent my college years studying what I enjoyed semester to semester-a little Spanish literature here, a little psychology there, a little marketing in between.

My first semester of college, I'm going to sociology and English and psychology, and all I cared about was getting home and preparing for whatever audition I had.

I dropped out of school for a semester, transferred to another college, switched to an art major, graduated, got married, and for a while worked as a graphic designer.

It was a really long process, dropping out of college. I was there for a semester, then I would take a semester off and go on tour, then I would go back for a semester.

I was pre-med for a semester, and then I got a C- in organic chemistry and was washed out of that program. Then I imagined I'd be a lawyer. I was gonna go to law school.

Yeah, there was the Flora Plum thing, where I trained for about a month and I had taken a semester off for that, and two weeks prior to filming, the financing collapsed.

Because I gave myself - I left school after the second semester of my junior year to pursue a career in music. and I gave myself five years to make it and I made it in three.

Grade school, middle school and high school were relatively easy for me, and with little studying, I was an honor student every semester, graduating 5th in my high school class.

I only went to college for one semester, community college outside of Dallas. I got to the end of that and said, 'I'm not doing this anymore,' and moved to L.A. and landed a job.

The idea of going back to college scares me, and I didn't even go. I went to college for one year, two semesters. If you add up the total time, I probably didn't even go one semester.

Moving gave me confidence. I was really reclusive when I first moved. I stayed home a lot or went to shows alone. But by the second semester of my freshman year, I started making friends.

When I was a senior in high school, I went to Ireland to study Irish Gaelic. And after one semester at Trinity College, I went way out to the west coast of Ireland and rented a little house by myself.

I'm starting at USC's film school for directing this month. I'll try to get a semester in at a time. I'll have to take time off for work throughout school, but it will be nice to get through a little bit.

It's been a strange day - a day when I thought I was on top of the world, planning my life. I planned all of my courses for the rest of the semester at Smith, and talked to my advisor about honoring in History.

I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I'd take a semester off, and then the movie would collapse.

During my first semester of college, I raised my hand in a class and asked the professor to define a word I didn't know. The word was holocaust, and I had to ask because, until that moment, I had never heard of it.

I went to college for one semester, and I took every subject I could, and I ended up failing. So I thought to myself, Ever since I was a kid, I've loved expression - and that's when I started thinking about acting.

I was at Wesleyan first. I was there for a semester because I wanted that traditional college vibe. But when I got there, people would do normal college things, and I was like, 'I can't be here. This is a nightmare.'

Getting one bill passed is close to impossible. Ask any kid who has spent a summer in Washington, or better yet a semester, and can't understand how people tolerate its menu of constant frustration. Imagine mastering it.

I wanted to do screenwriting. That's what I went to school for, but my major was overfilled, and when I got 'The Daily Show', I was a semester away from officially starting my major, so I never started that in particular.

The first time I set out to find George F. Kennan, in 1982, I had just turned 21, begun my final semester at Princeton University and noticed with astonishment that the senior thesis deadline had crept to within four months.

I was in college that first semester, and I was like, 'Wow, this isn't who I am. This isn't what I want to do.' I was like, 'Oh God, I'm going to have to go out and make something of myself, and I have no clue what that is.'

My fellow students there were very smart, but the really novel thing was that they actually seemed to put a lot of effort into their school work. By the end of my first semester there, I began to get into that habit as well.

I got in trouble in film school at USC because one of my Super-8 movies there, in the first semester, involved a snowmobile chase scene. I made an action scene, and they were like, 'That wasn't what you were supposed to be doing.'

My son was born during my last semester in college. His due date was Thanksgiving, but he didn't show up until finals week. I brought my books to the hospital and didn't think anything of it. That is what a father is supposed to do.

I remember when the results of the All India Engineering exams came out. I ranked 7th. I even got a scholarship. But it was during the sixth semester of my engineering course that I decided to call it quits and pursue acting seriously.

I went to public high school in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I certainly wore a lot of makeup in high school. I experimented with a cat eye for a semester, and then, you know, a strong red lip because Courtney Love in Hole was all the rage.
