>>17804763

Many colleges will offer you a "furlough" - don't finish the semester, and return with no penalty next term - in cases like this. All will offer you counseling for the emotional trauma.

But it sounds like you're not particularly traumatized, but just want to use this as an excuse for a decision to quit you've already made for other reasons.

No, it's not. Would you friend want to see you turn into a failure just because they're not around? Wouldn't think so.

>>17804807
Well he kind would
I mean we were both planning to drop out anyway
both of us were fine working retail jobs and working together

We both had such a low standard of living that we didn't really care about graduating

>>17804750
A good reason as any.
It's your life, not ours.

bu tim depressed :*(

>>17805596
Who's Tim?

What would he think about you dropping out?

>>17806066
"cool"

>>17804750
I'm sorry to hear that you're hurting. Under those kinds of circumstances, I don't think anyone would hold it against you if you took a semester off to pull things together, or even a whole year. The college would probably even offer to help, if you asked.

But to drop out completely? As in, for good? I do not think that would be a good idea. I doubt that your friend would want that either.

>>17804750
No.
Just like it wont be worth it to quit your job when immediate family dies and you only get a handful of days off.

Grow up.

>grow up
You first bud

Take the semester or year off.

I had to take this year off because my dad got a brain tumor but I'm still coming back next fall.
