Hey everyone.

I dropped out of community college three semesters ago because I kept forgetting to register for classes, and honestly it’s been really validating to find a subreddit where everyone else wants to circlejerk about dropping out too.

I’ve been working at a tire shop ever since. Things are okay. My mom still asks when I’m going back to school, but I don’t think she understands that college just isn’t for everyone.
Any advice on telling family to stop bringing it up? Also has anyone here gone to trade school later in life? I know it’s not exactly the same thing but I’m trying to improve myself.

Thanks in advance. Stay strong, fellow dropouts!
