My Decision

Well today I went to school. It was before 830 and I was not in a good mood. I had some reading to do. I looked at it and it was at least 50+ pages. I was going to skip my first class and read it but i read a few paragraphs and it was all a bunch of bullshit. So I thought to myself Thats It. I'm done. So I left the university. I'm not doing it anymore. I haven't gotten anything out of it in the last 2 years so why would I this year? My marks are just going down and I'm just not happy at all there. Its also a waist of my parents money.

So I've decided to try out college instead. Something thats actually useful. I've got to apply by February so I think I have enough time to figure out what I need to do. My only problem now is what will my family think? How am I going to tell my parents? All they are going to do is say I'm just going to sit around the house all day.

I really think this is the best decision I can make right now. My tuition dead line is tomorrow and I would have a 10 page assignment I haven't even started due next week. This is the reason I'm making this decision right now, but I have thought about it for a few weeks. I haven't officially dropped out yet either.

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed!

hi. i was in a similar position to u- except i definitely did drop out and sorely regretted it- thankfully i was allowed to go back the following year.

my SA had been plaguing me and left me with no confidence in my academic ability and felt i had a constant battle against nervous tension and fatigue.

it sounds to me like you feel hopeless at the minute and you may be making a snap decision because you have got a little bit behind. but i think you should approach the people on your course and explain youre having some difficulty right now. they will appreciate your honesty and maturity and they may offer you some help, and extensions for the assignments.

also, from experience- my parents initially were a bit freaked out cos they panicked about my future, but they were actually a real big source of strength for me in long run.

whatever you decide, its best to try and make major decisions when ur not stressed...things seem so much worse and hopeless.

i wish you lots of luck, and let us know how you get on.

There are times when I feel like dropping out of school. I always force myself to continue. I try my best to get good grades, which makes me so overwhelmed sometimes. Get through school, because it will help you later in life. As pointless as it may be sometimes, it's worth persevering.

Well after yesterday and all that shit my parents weren't very happy and I was determined to quit. Anyway, my parents know about my problem now and I went to the university today to sort things out. Well I found out I can get my degree this year instead of next year and I could go to college next fall and skip ahead a bit. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, so I think from here on things should work out more or less for me from now on. I won't hold my breath though.
