It's so passé to keep everything in your computer - it's all about having stuff in the cloud these days.

Oh god mid-term review Oh god mid-term review Oh god mid-term review. This is the point mid-term where everyone tells me I suck, I am going to need a heavy drink come friday.
(also, everything keeps going wrong technologically for me this week, :C!)

A few weeks before my junior standing juries (they're twice as long as normal juries, five times as hard and determine whether you get to become a junior in the music program or don't get to complete the degree) my bass broke. Badly. It ended up spending a month in the shop because people who had owned it before me had been stupid (wood glue instead of bone glue to put the top back on after it had been removed). I ended up passing, but I freaked out hardcore before that jury.
Good luck on your mid-term stuff.

What is a major in "video games"? I would assume you meant majoring in video game development, but that's not how your post sounds.
Also, if that was supposed to be a joke, sorry for taking your joke seriously.

In that case, you need to realize that developing a game is a lot of work, and that just because you like playing games doesn't mean you'll like making them. I mean, if you already realize that stuff then great, but your post sounds a little like you want to major in game development in order to escape work and play games all day, in which case you might just be setting yourself up for a lot of failure. You could spend all your time playing games in class and nobody would call you on it since it is a game design class, but you won't accomplish anything and you will fail.
Also, if you aren't aware of the difference then make sure to look up the terms "game designer," "game artist," and "game developer." That last one is a bit of a pet peeve of mine; a lot of schools gets those words wrong, possibly on purpose to mislead students they are recruiting but more likely simply out of ignorance because the administration doesn't know the words. Hopefully I can get the game development program at Columbia College to change its name, because it's misnamed right now.
