Why does it have to be that I love to write, but I hate both english and communications? I would just be so much easier if I didn’t have to go to take these classes in university.

Two sentence blog
(Well, it was!)
I suppose one factor might be that when you're writing stories, you can do so on a subject that interests you, at your own time and pace. English courses tend to require creative writing to be on a subject of the teacher / lecturer's choosing, with a set number of words, including set elements, and completed by a set date (and may even include the dreaded "Directed Writing" - writing a story / essay in about an hour under examination conditions). But of course, English courses aren't all about creative writing. There's probably a fair-sized chunk of literary criticism and textual analysis plus reading / analysis of set texts (which may not correspond to the genres etc. you enjoy reading).
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
You're right!
You're definitely right about that!
P.S.
I should have added a P.S. to the blog to correct it. :P

I'm the same way.
I think for me, it has more to do with the whole deal that I probably have almost as much practical experience with writing and literary analysis as the teacher who is SUPPOSED to be teaching me how to do both... Perhaps more. Especially since I also have something very very few people do, even among university language professors: linguistics. I attend lectures, read the material, make half-hearted attempts at analysis, and write some of my crappiest essays and stories ever - and get straight A's doing it while simultaneously raising the curve high enough to piss all the other students off. I only spend maybe a quarter of the time on these classes that you're "supposed" to.
Yeah... not my favorite types of courses to take.

English classes
Oh, jeez, I had this one English teacher who hated me being in her class. I often corrected her and was usually right. I wasn't usually the smartypants type (showing off, showing someone up), but she provoked it in me.
I'm glad she was professional enough not to flunk me for it. *grin*

Luckily...
I've never taken an English teacher who needed correcting... Humanities, though... Well, at least he was gracious about it. It got to the point where he EXPECTED me to correct him... was almost looking forward to it.
Some people are very strange.

Well, I guess he didn't want
Well, I guess he didn't want to teach bullshit. It doesn't exactly advertise him that those corrections were necessary, but it's better than trying to avoid it.
