Question by candy: Are there any college courses worth taking if you are plotting on becoming an author/poet?
I want to become a poet and a author and I know you do not have to attend college to become either of these things. But I also strongly want to graduate from college. Are there any college courses worth taking if you want to become a writer or is it just a waste of money for that occupation?

I reckon that writing courses are very helpful. If you want to graduate from college you can major in creative writing. Not only will you get fantastic feedback on your writing skills, but you’ll be exposed to all sorts of fantastic assets. For sure take some creative writing classes, and if it’s possible to go to college and major in it I would say go for it.
