What direction should I go in?

Hi guys,

Im a single parent just getting back into school. I’m working on my AA with a major in comm sciences. My focus has shifted from speech therapy assistant to either occupational therapist, dental hygienist, or any decent paying job that is more hands on. I’m doing school completely online right now. Which major would allow me to be most flexible in my possible career paths? I honestly am just going day by day and whether I would be able to attend an OT or DH school depends completely on wether I will be able to cover majority of costs with financial aid.

I want to create a stable and supportive life for my daughter and I. Any advice is appreciated.

Am I doing things right?

Hi guys, I’m 23 single mom of a 15 month old. Once I had my daughter I moved back with my dad, got a car and drivers license and am currently in my first year of college. Everything is relatively good compared to when I first had my daughter (and was struggling terribly), but somehow I still feel kind of empty. The days are long but also somehow too short, I never have time for myself but when I put my daughter to bed I feel ashamed as if I didn’t pay enough attention to her. I’m constantly worrying if my education is going to be a waste of time in this political climate. At night I try and compensate for the lack of “me time” by up staying up way too late and end up feeling drained the next day. I just feel like on all ends I have no peace.
Is there something wrong with me? Do I lack appreciation and awareness? How do you cope with all these feelings of anxiety and inadequacy? How do you manage personal care? How to stop worrying about my financial future when I’m not financially stable?

Fantasy with a romance subplot

Hi guys, so I’m somewhat new to the reading world, I enjoy most genres but recently I have been really craving a really good fantasy book with a romance subplot. However I keep coming across books that are complete garbage I’m sorry to say. For example, I just read Starside, and had to DNF it 100 pages in. The problem I keep coming across is these books are lacking in quality. The characters, plot, and settings are just so mediocre. I think most of the books that I felt that way about are super popular and somehow rated super high. Therefore, I have not been able to trust book ratings anymore because they can be deceiving. That being said I’m genuinely trying to find a well written fantasy that doesn’t feel like a wattpad story. I just want to feel completely enamored in a book again, the last time I felt that way was when I read The Will of Many.So I ask if you guys could recommend a book that truly had you not wanting to put the book down.
