I am recently going back to college after a 2 year break. I have been going off and on for over a decade. I feel like I may never finish, which makes me feel like an even bigger loser than I normally do. I was very optimistic at first, but then met with an advisor who said that while it could be possible for me to go into the major/field I want to, it is unlikely I will get into the program due to my low GPA (I failed many classes because I didn't have the nerve to attend class, but also did not withdraw). Now I have to attempt to get 3 semesters withdrawn from my record using a medical retroactive withdrawal to have a shot at the life I want. I am afraid that the university will see it as a cop-out and not grant me the withdrawals, in which case I'd be kinda screwed. I also haven't started the semester well, as I have missed all but 2 class meetings so far. All my friends are very proud of me and support me going back to school, but I'm fearing that they won't be if I fail miserably as I have in the past, or if they know that my anxiety is holding me back. Anyone else have any experience with this?
