Feel like I wasted my college years, nothing to show for it

-23F, Canada >Started (technical) college right after high school, (2022) chose Supply Chain as my specialty

>Started diploma "Global Supply Chain Management" (2022, still ongoing. No where near done. I have until 2027 to complete)

>Started certificate "International Trade and Transportation Logistics" (2023, ongoing, Close to completion but 1 course holding me back. I have until 2030 to complete)

-I am horrific at math. I have a mandatory Stats class (non-transferrable) to take, failed it ~3 times (even with tutoring, etc). Will likely fail all my programs because of it. Work ethic is fine, but study skills aren't great (ever since HS). Parents' patience is wearing thin, want me out of the house

Not sure if I could turn my Stats class (I'm currently in progress doing) around. Likely I'd fail my program, and life would have to move on regardless. Should I cut my losses and move on?

Wondering for my options (if any)

-Applying to jobs, any one is fine (But I've never had one yet)

-Military (maybe the same specialty, likely a short contract), to gain experience and get out [to get a job]

-something else?

Especially for the topics, self-studying, since the teacher's materials are somewhat all over the place.

Should I use outside textbooks/YT vids, or the teacher's content? Also how do I know what the test/quiz would look like and what questions there would be on it?

(sorry if this doesn't belong here)

I feel like I've wasted ~4 years on schooling.

• in progress of a diploma, nowhere close to finishing it (Global Supply Chain Management, started 2022. I have until 2027 to "complete it"), and certificate (International Trade and Transportation Logistics, started 2023. I have until 2030 to "complete it"). I have 3 courses left. Both as a part-time student

• in progress doing OPMT1130 "business statistics" (which is required for BOTH, and failing it (as I have reached my attempt limit) means I fail my programs and have wasted my time)

• I have struggled with math heavy courses due to my lack of understanding, and still struggle to grasp it even after 2-3 reattempts, with tutoring, etc

• should I just give it up (diploma) and find employment, and re-try the diploma or certificate (worst case scenario) in the future?

Never had job, unemployed. no prior work experience. In Canada. (I feel like I've wasted ~4 years on schooling. Parents want me out of the house)

-what should I do regarding jobs? I take a little too long to adjust my resume and apply. Entry level jobs? military (as a last resort)? Complete my studies or just get a job (restarting my education in the future)

Sorry if this doesn't belong here. (And where else would I post it)?

-in progress of a diploma (Global Supply Chain Management, 2022), and certificate (International Trade and Transportation Logistics, 2023)

-Almost done certificate, 3 courses left

-in progress doing "business statistics" and foundations of math 12 (So I can upgrade in case for the future/courses)

-but have struggled with math heavy courses due to my lack of understanding (everything else was fine though, but I have to re-learn them, my work/study skills are rusty)

-I'm nearing the attempt limit for Statistics so there would be a risk of me getting kicked out the program(s), so not sure what to do regarding that

-what should I do regarding jobs? I take a little too long to adjust my resume and apply. Entry level jobs? military (as a last resort)?

mostly cooked/boiled with water by my mother when I was younger. Very mushy, often with syrup. Didn't like it at all.

If I try them raw, what else could I add to the raw oats? Or do I soak them for a period of time?

Wanting to re-try and re-enter oatmeal ever since my dislike many years ago

> L3 — Reconsider Travel

> L4 — Do Not Travel

Just curious if the warnings are exaggerated (depending on experience) or an actual thing, as well as your "fate" there, assuming as an ordinary tourist (this is just out of curiosity)

-Also, for level 4 "avoid all travel" countries, I assume it wouldn't be so easy for an ordinary person to just book a flight there, depending on country (How would one actually manage to travel there, and what might the process/documentation,etc be?)

-And for level 4 countries, also wondering, again, the process of leaving isn't so simple as well?

Random question, but does anyone have a copy of "escavalier illustration/art rare" from black bolt and is willing to take a photo under harsh light? (unsleeved). I wanna see it before I actually buy it

I wanna see how dark the BG is, and how the light rays are (since ebay images and other ones don't really help much)

looking if anyone would share their previous assignments/tests/topics so I know what I'm getting into and what to expect

(and I can practice ahead of time since I take longer than usual to absorb the info)

-currently taking with Michael Lo so I'm wondering how experiences were with him

23F, in BC, Canada. I'm pretty sure my situation (and parents' patience) is wearing real thin. Basically it's a combination of "I'm screwed" and "It's my own fault". Seriously I swear to god there must be something wrong with me, since my situation, opportunities, privilege, and 'support' have been given to me and all I did was take it for granted, not taken it seriously, and squandered it. (As an only child) Am I hopeless? How can this even be salvaged?

 

(My situation + self)

• Graduated Highschool ~4 years ago. Coasted through it, no "real study skills", never had any 'future goals' then, and still not much even now.
• Same year, enrolled at a technical college, doing a diploma and certificate, taking too long to complete. ~4 years+ now. Failed some courses due to lack of discipline/work ethic.
• "OK"-ish in subjects overall, ~D-C (rare B-A) student. Struggled heavily in Math (Workplace 12 is what I took, not sure on Foundations. But (Pre-Calculus 11-12 is out of the question, since I lack skills and knowledge to attempt it)
• However, my 'intelligence' (that I know of) is questionable at best (Can't focus long, can't 'make' myself learn, I've tried ADHD meds but they didn't do anything). "Physical"/hands on tasks (e.g. certifications, forklift, etc) I find are quite simple and east for me to do

 

• bad body + eating habits (overweight/visceral, and eating junkfoods near-daily, I'm pretty sure it started in childhood, but ramped up in Middle/High-school ). Probably 'convenience', impulse, stress buying. Only "excersise" I do are walking and biking
• I've had a fair amount of savings in the past years, (~$14,000-ish), but again, after high school I WASTED ALL OF IT ON TAKEOUT/STRESS-EATING AND RANDOM TRASH!!!! My current ""savings"" are near 0!! (My parents would kill me if they found out, and all this is my fault, I know)
• 1-2 'close friends', don't talk to them much. Quite isolationist. My "days" currently don't have structure, I 'waste time' browsing the web/YouTube until late noon
• Still living with parents, I have to move out and make my life, I and my parents know this too

 

• I'm too lax in finding a job, maybe I'm not trying hard enough, or even at all + nothing's coming up. (Never had a job outside of minor volunteering in HS) up.
• I'm too "lax" in nearly everything in life!! (I don't have a fire or drive or whatever, even in "stress")
