I do college through a university online so that I’m able to work at my job full-time. I love my job, it’s very flexible, pays good (despite benefits), and is directly in my career field. The problem is… my personal life has been chaotic for just under a year now. Due to traumatic situations, I can definitely tell how my brain doesn’t operate like it used to. I managed to pass my classes in the winter semester, but during the spring, around late February, I just stopped doing it. I didn’t even drop out, I just stopped doing the assignments and readings, and now I feel awful. I’m going to fail 4 classes. And, everyone that I do care about thinks I’m in school this semester. It’s just so embarrassing to admit that I wasn’t capable of doing school and that I took too much on. Now, they will notice that I’m not graduating on time. I waisted so much money, money that my grandpa worked tirelessly to save for me for college, just because, what, I’m depressed? I don’t know what to do or how to navigate continuing school. Who do I talk to? Will they let me continue school at the university? How do I apply for scholarships since I’m not in high school anymore? Going to school will help me achieve my dream, my passion, and I feel like a fat fucking chud. I just want to get my bachelors degree before something happens to my grandpa because he is getting older and I want to show him that I can do this. Has anyone else been in a situation similar to this?
