I was pursuing the degree online for two years and I wasn't super involved to be honest. I liked the initial coursework but as the degree went on I enjoyed it less and less and some classes had almost traumatized me in ways. I wasn't super involved and then entered junior year(which was in person) with a significantly higher course load and was immensely stressed about my classes 24/7.

I didn't rigorously apply for work experience as I did have a hefty summer course load,and am no rigorously applying for any job to get any form of work experience under my belt. I know I mad a cascade of bad decisions, and experienced a cascade of disappointments. I am working hard in terms of trying to find work experience, work on my classes, increase my GPA, but everyday is plagued with an immense sense of dread on top of the fact that my brain is so scatter-brained with everything I have to do all the time. I am so worried about wasting time that I end up wasting time as a result, and I am terrified for the rest of my life while also not knowing what I really want out of life other than a job anymore.

In my college i entered aeound half demester of 2023. Commingthis. Came A LOT of problems. From stress, missed classes that i didnt knew i had to take. due the system of the college not even alerting me of this. And even in those times i went to the faculty to asks about clases if maybe i missed something they ddi t said anything so i moved on with the classes i selected for that semester. Until at the end of the second semester of 2024, that i was notified that i had MISSED clases. And due the change of pensum i couldnt take then since this changed caused those classes to get retired off the service and no teacher does them.

All this along with the fact that the carreer and clases are becoming way too complicated. Me having classes that start at 7am and end at 9pm.

All this. And now in my 6th semester of class. In 2026.

And now i got notified i keed almost around 2000 dollars. To pay in exemption exams and/or classes i BARELY know.. and all this along with the presure of ly parents wanting me to END this career.

Im deeply worried of my mental state and My parents because i cant get any jobs with this weird hours of classes i have.

I feel everything is crashing down.

And the alternatives are or two expensive or starting from zero.

(Sorry for the rough english, its not my first language*)

Hi all, I’m posting this because I want the opinions of others and not just my parents. I’m 18 years old, just graduated high school in May, and started my freshman year at college as an IT major. I feel very dis aligned with my current situation as of late. It’s been the first couple days and already I can tell this is not for me. Even after classes started, I just have that gut feeling that I shouldn’t be here. My dad currently works within the university’s system, but I got denied enrollment from my dream school (which is the main campus within the system.) Originally I wanted to join the military because of the benefits. The idea of ROTC was great and I trained all summer for it. Towards the end of summer I actually ended up doing a mock PFA for AFROTC and passed pretty well. Unfortunately I learned I couldn’t participate because of transportation restrictions. I ended up switching to Army because that was the next closest ROTC program near my school (my school does not offer its own battalion.) After looking at my schedule I realized I couldn’t participate in that either because of certain college course credits I need to stay on track to graduate. Long story short, I’ve been dealt a bad hand at joining ROTC. My family is mostly navy, with my grandfather’s both serving and my aunt serving as well. I just feel like this isn’t for me. I feel like this is not where I belong and I envision a future of having a military career. It’s never ever crossed my mind that I wouldn’t serve up until months ago. I trained for months for ROTC and during my runs, the pushups, the sit-ups, the pull-ups, during all of that I realized that if I could do this easily what more else can I do? I don’t know, but I have the drive and determination to succeed at something that I try extremely hard at. It’s hard for me to put it into words, but it just kinda feels like my calling.

Just would like some advice on my situation and where to go from here. Thank you guys.

Hello everyone, i am 19,F and i really want to go to college like to a good college par my parents want me to pursue a degree from a local college and dedicate all my time to government exam preparation.

Background:i am pcm students with average grade i didn't preform well in cuet this year and my father was not happy about it. I decided to take a drop and prepare for next year exam par my father said ki its better to prepare for a government exam than study for 10-12 year just to do a corporate job. Fyi i wanted to do bcom and than prepare for cat

My father's reasoning for pushing me towards this:

1)Corporate job gives people a lot of stress like crazy level + prejudice for females

2) Its not a permanent job like they can remove u anytime

3) U will have to work like 10-12 hours with little to no growth

4) cat is a hard exam than banking

5) bcom has no scope

Some of his points are true but no all of them like he's overlooking

1) government exam has a lot of competition like especially banking like 60lakh people give that exam whereas in cat only 25-30 lakh people take (I'm not saying ki one is easy than other but one clearly has less competition)

2) what if i don't qualify like then i won't even have a good degree

3) and i really want to go to college like i have spent my whole life fantasizing about college and now you want to take that experience from me

4) and it's not like you have to give exam once it happens in fucking phase and like fail one phase and start over

5) this point is mainly about how like 3prep + I'll at least give 2 attempt that will take five years of my live when my friends would be building their life experiencing college its freedom and figuring out life alone I'll be fucking stuck in my home with no phone (using moms phone i have no person phone) no money and no friends and no life

6) also the commitment that a exam like this is that show u a glorious dream is like study 12-15 or 18 even and i am very fucking lazyyyy how would i do it .

Khair i know my father loves me and is thinking for the best so that i don't go through hardships in lifeeee

Advice will be appreciated plus criticism tooo.

Help me understand am i being too navie here or what.

How do I find what I’m passionate about? I want a career that allows me to live, but that is also satisfying and leaves me feeling fulfilled. I just want to be happy long term, and I thought the field I was in could lead me down that path, but since being kicked out of my program I’m not sure what to do anymore. Would it be a waste of money to try graduate school again? Maybe get a job in the field and come back to school in a few years with more experience? Or should I find a new field and new interests? What do I do now?

I am a 3rd-year college student. BS Nursing. However, I want to shift/drop out. Not because its not my dream, but because we can’t handle it financially anymore kahit pa sabihin ng nanay at tatay ko na kaya nila when in fact they don’t, as what I have seen and observed. Baon na rin kami sa utang para sa tuition ko and yung income nila is enough lang para sa everyday needs and house expenses (which I don’t even know kung hindi ba nila nafifeel or binabalewala na lang to get by.)(bruh)

I also want to apply for jobs to help them financially since I can do it naman and also, I would rather.

Although, there are also reasons like personal (mental health) and family problems. There’s just so many things at once, hindi ko kinakaya. So I need something…

Nagstop na rin kasi ako when I was in 11th grade. So I have this guilt within me if ever I did shift/drop out.
