I'm worried that i can't stick out this semester of college. What can I do?

Question

I had a lot of mental issues last semester and I thought I was ready to return this semester. But i don't know if I can..it just seems too hard. what are my options? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

You made it last semester with your " mental issues " right ? Even if you feel like you barely made it, you did make it.

I think if you would drop out of school it would only make your self esteem worse and you would feel more down on yourself . You don't need to make things harder for yourself by making a negative move as in dropping out of College.

Be proud that you are in College and that you did make it even when things were very challenging. You are obviously a survivor.

College is a positive thing and you can make your life better by going.

Maybe go see a counselor in school and see if you can lighten your load some. Just don't give up !

You will do fine, just believe in yourself. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish.

Good luck !

Answer 2

I recommend staying in school.  If you have enough financial aid so that you don't have to work while in school, then you shouldn't work, instead try to budget your money well.  If you're not happy with your major, then you can always change it.  

This is the point where you have a pep talk with yourself.  You must determine what your priorities are.  Things in life are what you make of them.  If college is too hard, try to eliminate stress factors in you life to make it easier.  Good luck and I hope you make a good decision.  

Answer 3

Please stay in college...believe me, working for a semester sucks way worse.  You may consider taking easier classes  next time, or you may still have time to drop a class if you wanna lighten the load.  I also suggest doing online classes because they are so convenient and Ive had success with them....especially for core classes like english composition.  Please stay in college because if you get through it, you will feel so proud of yourself in the end.

Answer 4

COLLEGE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU GET LOT MANY FRIENDS.

JUST THINK LIKE THAT.

NEVER TAKE BAD FROM IT JUST PUMP IN THE PROS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE BEST FRIENDS YOU HAVE TIME WITH 'EM AND FIGHT BACK,NEVER EVER GIVE AWAY.

YOU CAN DO IT

Answer 5

College is hard, I feel ya.  Does the work itself seem "too hard"?  Are your mental issues becoming a problem again?  You need to do what's best for yourself but be careful that you're not just making excuses.  Set some goals for yourself and if college is necessary to achieve those goals, then I would stay and try harder.  You must always move forward.  Good luck.

Answer 6

Maybe you need a break. You can get permission (if it's a 4 year university otherwise you don't need permission like at a 2 year community college) to take a semester or year off. Maybe you need to get refreshed and who knows find a job and not go to college. Otherwise you can try taking just one class so you don't feel too overwhelmed and focus on that one without feeling pressured to take on a whole load. Just take it easy!
