I’m doing a big camping roadtrip to Wyoming this upcoming week and saw it’s suppose to rain the whole time 😭 I know it’s good for the smoke but am bummed out ha any advice on what to do with the gloomy weather? Or if I should change my plans? I’ll be sleeping in my rooftop tent, traveling with my dog, and don’t have a canopy or anything

Rethinking it all

I am not sure if I am looking for advice or just needing to vent haha I have always wanted to be a nurse and over the course of 11-12 years I have started and stopped pursuing nursing for many life reasons. A few months ago I decided to finally go for it and moved back in with my parents so I could afford to pay for schooling ( I don't qualify for financial aid. Yes I have applied for grants and scholarships with no success🥲). I work full time and am currently taking two classes this term. I have an hour commute to and from work, and on the days I have school...also an hour commute. Yay for living in a small town. 🙃With the price of gas going up, having to pay for parking at work, school expenses, rent, bills, etc. I am beyond stressed and feel like I am failing. I also just touched base with an advisor today and maybe this is because I am already down but it felt like she laughed in my face once she saw my grades. I know the grades I received 11 years ago are bad (it was my senior year of high school and I was apart of a early college program and I slackeeeddd) but I am retaking them now and currently have an A in one and a B in another. All of my other classes have A’s. During the appointment she stated I have a year of prerequisites, two years for the nursing program if I get in right away and then another two years for a bachelors. At this point I am wondering if it is even worth it. I can't live with my parents for that long but I also cannot afford school without living with them. Yet I also can’t afford to remain a CNA. I'm barely scraping by right now. Do I continue to go for nursing or maybe look into radiology…? Ugh.
