How many of you guys have thought about dropping out of college? I'm failing everything. I have no interest in my major or any of the classes I'm taking right now. I've been in school for 5 years now and I'm still a junior. I'm so behind in all my classes. I feel like a fucking loser and it just brings me so much pain.

I feel like I will be working in my retail job forever now.

If you guys did drop or fail, how has life been since you left school?
>>
I managed 2 days then i dropped out and moved home again
>>
you weren't meant for it. really most people who go to college weren't either. just drop out anon. save yourself from all the fucking stress and debt.
>>
>fail midterm
>prof is giving us another midterm

Thank you based god

I failed out of my original major and had to change into my current major which I have absolutely no interest in, I hate every day I have to go to class and I skip constantly which is fucking up my grades. I also feel like I'll be stuck with my current shitty job forever which makes me feel sick a lot of the time. I've considered trying to get diagnosed with autism and anxiety and just becoming a neet which is all I want anymore, but I know my parents would judge me, plus I'd have to get enough money from it to live alone/support myself since my parents kicked me out as soon as uni started. So realistically I'll keep going until I fail out then kill my self once I have to go full time at my wagecuck job
>>
>>35041897
I just don't know what to do with my life, man. I'm 23. A lot people my age are done with their degrees, starting their new careers, being in love, getting married and having kids.

I'm not doing shit, but working a job I hate and going to a school I hate. I don't want to work at this job forever because its getting really bad. I also don't want to disappoint my parents.

>>35041800
Yeah I thought about it, I deiced I've still go the exam to go (and that's 80% minimum of my modules). Coupled with the fact I'd already payed up 60% of my tuition, I thought there was little point in dropping out and I should just knuckle down instead.

I hate college so much. I don't belong here at all (like most of us on here.) I am just floating my way through g.e. courses right now, but next quarter I will have to take major courses. My major is a non-stem, so I'm getting a meme degree that will get me nowhere in life. My parents insist that I waste my time and their money on it, even though I've told them that it's pointless. They know that my degree isn't going to be worth anything, but for some reason they are making me finish. I don't have a choice because I have no money in the bank and I've never held a job, and they will kick me out of the house if I try to move back in without attending school. So, I either stay here or become homeless.

I walked into Comp Sci and walked out a few weeks later. I'm currently studying for my CCENT and now in Finance.

I was going to get my certification regardless of my uni major, but I thought it made more sense to go with CS. Nothing in my 21 years of living has made me feel like a retarded brainlet than that fucking class.

Fuck that class desu, the professor was a brutal honest kind of person. I still remember him telling me that he was sure I was going to fail the course when I went to go talk to him about my struggle with the class.

I felt smart and confident in community college, now I feel dumb and hopeless in uni.

Yeah now I know why people shit on CC. The classes are so fucking easy and the professors don't really give a shit. I slacked off in my history class and still got an A-. When I should have gotten a C.

Uni has fucked me up so much.

I live in Canada and I dropped out after a year. Like you, I wasn't really interested in what I was doing and didn't have the work ethic coming from high school to get through it. It didn't make financial sense to continue.

Life's pretty good now. I finished college, which I think is called community college over there. Can't speak to your economic situation, but if you put in some effort and prioritize your finances you should do alright. Still hate myself tho

I'm hanging on. I hope this doesn't happen to me.

Got a 3.0 GPA in one core class and failed 3 others, luckily the failing GPA get 100% replaced by the one you get on the second attempt.

I really don't know, it's as if I've lost passion about most things in life and am indulging in masturbation that doesn't even feel good anymore because I do it too frequently.

To do reasonably well, I just need to put in the time, yet it's so fucking hard. Don't get me started on social life, only acquaintance, no friend made over nearly two semesters.

No I'm still a skelly.

Also I have shit tier genetics, so even if I work out I'll still look like shit. I would work out because it took distracted me from my depression, but I've lately stopped going.

I worked out today for the first time in a while and it was bad. I didn't even finish my workout. I just didn't really feel energized or anything.

A lot of guys I went to high school with and even some I was friends with since high school always put on an act. They're always joking around, being loud, grouping up with people who can get them into parties, pretending to be interested in sports and shit that they're not. Basically doing whatever the most popular kids like as a sort of survival mechanism. No one I knew is themself. Some people want to APPEAR to be an individualist rather than actually being one. No one questions the group leader in fear of being an outcast.

>inb4 they've just changed grow up

No, they're still the same old same old on break but I can't stand them in college and when I've called them out they've admitted to wanting to be part of the pack. Noticed a lot of other people with similart behavior, so have to assume that, even though I didn't know them before, they're probably faking it too

I finally signed up for student counselling. I've got my first session in 8 hours.

I live in a tiny and shitty room with a tiny and shitty window in an old and shitty "student housing" complex but the internet is decent so whatever. I failed all my STEM classes last semester even though I'm a STEM major so I'm retaking some of them. I go to class and take notes and try to study but at the end of the day nothing sticks and I feel like such a fucking dumbass. I made a few friends last semester but I hardly see them now. People I knew in high school are keeping up with each other but none of them have even contacted me since graduation. I don't have any talents, I have 0 work experience, I'm not attractive, and I'm a manlet so I have very slim chances of getting into any relationships. I've stopped enjoying the things I used to enjoy and I don't know how to be happy again because everything feels so fucking hopeless. I'm just waiting for the day I get mowed down by a speeding car while I'm crossing the street.

After dinner I usually manage to get 2-3 games of league of legends in and maybe some episodes of a tv show on netflix. After that I quickly rush any homework I have due for the next day and then resume to watching stuff online etc.

>>35045733
Yep I'm in it. I wouldn't touch it unless it's something you really want to do though.
I fucking hate it, and you have to be detail oriented to last. I also took it cause I was too stupid to pass Calculus II and that was a prerequisite for Computer Science.
If I could rewind time, I would've taken Botany or something environment science related, shit that actually interest. me. I only took Accounting cause I was thinking about the money.

She did, but we were in the same group for a project, so it wasn't like out of the blue or anything.

that explains it all..cause after calc 2 its pretty much downhill on the math..

>>35046023
Next time in class ask her what her major is. If she's the same as you you can probably spin a conversation off that. If she isn't, you can talk about the class. Talk about the professor, discuss upcoming tests, ask her if she wants to study, etc. I don't fucking know man I'm just repeating shit I've read in these threads.

I barely lasted a semester. The uni psychiatrist looked at me with sincere concern I would harm myself or worse. The police escorted me out of the building and I spent a weekend at a mental hospital. I will always remember one of the nurses looking at me and saying "this is your home now". I went back to school and dropped a few courses, but it didn't make things much better. I remember trying to cut myself with my own math notebook, as pathetic as that sounds. I just dropped out, and self studied for the A+ cert as well as some Python. I lost focus on that and got a job as a cashier, and ended up going to college for an IT diploma, which is going alot better. My program is mostly filled with uni dropouts or people with useless degrees. Don't be afraid to drop. There are so many options out there. It may seem difficult, but you will manage to figure things out.

Just go to one session and see if its helpful for you.
In my experience the councillor wont really bring up topics youre uncomfortable with, but they will encourage you to be as open/honest as possible. Just remember it's all confidential.
Also dont expect it to be a life changing experience - in fact youll probably feel slightly underwhelmed by the whole thing.
Overall i'd reccomend it;
It's surprising how much it can help to just talk about stuff.

/r9k/ is a weird board. If your post isn't "original" then you'll be muted for a few seconds.

I honestly don't know why I thought I could handle college. I'm a junior in art school, and was just forced by my therapist to register with the office of disabilities at my school and let them know what was going on with me, or she would suggest to my parents that I should take time off. I'm all registered now, and have letters I'm supposed to now give to each of my professors, but honestly don't know if I want to out of fear of coming off as someone who's trying to milk the system. Things are so fucking rough though. With art being so personal, being a sensitive and sad kid 24/7, and art school basically being about having your work constantly judged and critiqued in front of others, I'm not sure I can make it to graduation. Going into art therapy after I get my BA, which will make me happier, but art therapy is only a masters program, so I'm fucked if I don't stick it out and get this degree. Crying almost every morning when open eyes and remember classes today. Where are all the meaningful social interactions I hear about all the time. What the fuck am I doing here.

Can I ask for some advice anons?

I was doing alright in my STEM major (B-C range) until my anxiety hit me like a fucking brick. I failed all my classes, dropped out and now have a shitty factory job, but I'm out of debt and financially stable.
How do I not stay here forever? I'm not stupid, just can't get the better of my anxiety or motivational problems. Is there some kind of robot-tier study or trade I could have a chance at?

The problem with high school is that it trains you for college/university not a real job. The problem with college/university is that it trains you for grad school not a real job. By my sophomore year I had all the knowledge needed for a job but had 2 more years.

It took me 8.5 years to graduate college (Chemistry Major). My junior year I felt like you but I was already so far through it that I couldn't give up without being disowned by my parents. Every class turned from easy rote memorization (Organic chemistry) and simple algebra (Analytical Chemistry) to quantum physics / differential equations level (P-Chem, Quantum Chem, Diff Equations, etc.) in this year. I didn't sign up for this.

I failed 3/5 of my classes the first semester of my junior year and barely passed the other two. I then got a job at a grocery store and worked~ 30 hours a week while only taking 1 (or 2 classes if they were not as demanding) per semester. I spent the rest of my time playing video games because I only studied like 3 hours per week. I also paid for school as I went so I didn't have any debt when I graduated.

After graduation I was "unemployed" in the chemistry field for about half a year while I was still working at the grocery store before I found my first job.

I was the willing to move to shitty states in ghetto/white trash areas in the southern USA and that's how I got my foot in the door. I was a Quality Control technical for a soap factory that made the claim that it killed 99.9% or some bullshit number of germs. Therefore the FDA forced them to prove that the ingredient that in there is within +/- 10% of what it's supposed to be. After 6 months I then got a slight better job in another shitty area and repeated.

At 31 years old, I now get paid 60k usd/year living in a decent but low cost area to write documents and fill tables full of data in MS word / Excel. I've automated most of my work with Macros and just play on my cellphone all day now.

Medical Lab Technician is a very easy job. It's also a very easy major. You can go to Community College to get the prerequisite that you don't already have then easily get into a program. This was my fall back plan.

Or try being a male nurse? It's only a demanding job if you make it one, some of the degrading things you have to do like clean old people's shit covered ass and thighs only seem like they are degrading but no one actually thinks less of you.

Water plant operator. Anywhere that has anything that isn't well water, has these type of job openings. All you have to do is pass a few certification exams. The job isn't even hard. It's one of those jobs that people never think about but it pays decent.

As you can tell by my shitty grammar, it's not that hard of a job to get. I do correct the grammar in the documents though, the FDA reads them sometimes lol.

For Medical Lab Techs:

Yes unfortunately your GPA will hurt you unless it was just your freshman year but you will still have to prove yourself in community college. You'll also have to explain that GPA away with an excuse like it was your first year, you didn't know what you wanted to major, etc.

Also, some community colleges offer an associates level degree version of it. My coworker at the grocery store I worked at did that (He's 50 years old) but only started at $14/hour (~28k/yr). However, this was a medium sized city (Raleigh NC) so if you live in a rural area your CC might not have it. The University level degree starts closer to $18/hr (~36k/yr). Note: If you work 2nd shift you get $2 more an hour or 3rd shift you get $4 more than hour. The job itself isn't hard from what he told me.

You are quite literally me, word for word.

If you're in a uni, just drop out right now and go to a CC. Dont bother wasting money while you're in a weak and vulnerable state like you are. Trust me, I was literally you last year where I tried to tough it out for 2 years before I realized I was getting nowhere.

Just switch to a CC and transfer back in or to another university. CCs are easier but still the same material you learn for undergrad. I failed calc 1 and first semester physics twice but passed them on my first try here in a CC - and the material was actually harder to do at the CC since my old university was not as in depth with the prereq courses. The smaller class sizes at a CC means you get more 1 on 1 time with professors and tutors which is good.

But most importantly, you have to find out what you want to do. College isnt for messing around, you want to have a general plan of what you're interested in working in.

And last but not least, dont give up on yourself or ever let anyone convince you that you're worthless or stupid. Hard work and perseverance can go a long way. Especially for Stem, you have to stick with it no matter how hard it gets

Good luck anon. Hopefully my words reach you

Best bet is to just be upfront with your parents. Tell them that you are miserable and not doing well at your classes but also convince them that you do have a general plan when you go to a CC and that you're not going to be slacking off. Maybe they will give you a break and let you go to a CC for a couple semesters before transferring back.

I was there from 2010 to 2012, bro.

>I have no interest in my major or any of the classes I'm taking right now.
I was unable to pull the homework out of my backpack to start working on it. We could say that is because I didn't have interest in my major, but I strongly believe that that is either an incomplete or flat out wrong diagnosis.

>If you guys did drop or fail, how has life been since you left school?
In 2012, I realized I didn't have a life goal, so I set one and came up with a plan to achieve it, which included college. I became an A student overnight.

>>35041897
>you weren't meant for it. really most people who go to college weren't either.
Not how I would phrase it. I would say that some people aren't ready for college when they get there, because they haven't thought about their life goals and whether college is necessary to achieve them.

Had a similar experience. In my final semester, I reached a point where I couldn't enjoy living unless I was doing homework. While it felt pretty good and I got a 3.9 that semester, the root cause of the situation was stress/anxiety, so what I recommend to you people is to manage your time better so that you always have time to relax and the ability to enjoy that relaxation.

>they are all being scammed and that most college degrees are worthless these days
It's still easier to get a job if there's a BS on your resume, but I'll agree that it's a scam in the sense that a BS by itself isn't worth much. You need a portfolio and to study outside of class, either on your own or through an internship somewhere.

>>35046378
>Should I do it?
It depends. What is your endgame, and is that the best or good way to get there?

I don't know why I do this. Class is not hard. The material is not difficult. As long as I take the time to actually do the work it's a fucking breeze. But I can't be like that. I can't be somebody who just goes to class and does the work and lives a functional life.

I'm back from the student counselling. It wasn't very helpful because she said there's a 6 week waiting list so I won't get counselling this term. So even when I find the courage to go and actually seek therapy, I'm still left with suffering.

It felt amazing to talk about my issues with someone though. Although when she asked questions like "What changes do you hope to see at the end of your counselling?", it made me feel like my problems weren't direct enough for therapy. I think I just want to talk about myself and my struggles and have someone validate them.

ORIGINAL QUESTION
>>
>one class and my internship left to graduate
>couldn't find one in time for this semester so doing internship in summer
>had to drop class
>because not full-time loans were taken away and I was forced to pay more than 6k for one fucking class
>could have taken basket weaving or some shit to keep them but didn't know
>tfw will probably not find an internship for the summer because I fucking suck and have poor interviewing skills and LITERAL AUTISM

I'm going to fucking kill myself if I don't find one by the summer. I'm not even kidding.

Make sure she knows right away that you're romantically interested, don't try to "get to know her first" or any of that shit. I never believed it, but I got rejected last semester by a girl who said she was considering it, but she was unsure of whether we were just friends for the first date and so couldn't see me as a boyfriend.

Fuck this life.

I'm not failing anything, on fact, I've gotten 4.0s every quarter since I started last year. But I'm finally slipping in advanced calculus, as my teacher is literally the scum of the earth.

Working retail is ok.

Having to practically beg for retail in the impossibly overcrowded unskilled labor market and pander to retarded supervisors to keep your job is worse than whatever you're going through right now though.

This guy has it right. I phoned in education because fuck it I'll just joint he Navy. Medically disqualifed. Utterly fucked.

I'm being buried in work and I can't keep up with it so I'll likely fail. Right now I'm sitting here waiting for a test to start that I am completely unprepared for. I actually failed everything last year and had to take a semester off. Wish me luck robots

Feels so good to do that, like I'm protecting other students from bullshit.

>took giant project class part 2 with bitch prof
>bitch prof wanted me to overhaul all my shit from part 1 despite recieving perfect grade
>would have to redo my entire project for no reason
>gave me horrible grade on my first draft assignment for bullshit reasons
>dropped course and scheduled with different professor
>has no problem with my material, loves my final project, A+

Nobody should have to deal with a professor that deliberately makes shit worse for NO REASON. There are department guidelines for how each class should be taught, fucking stick to them
>>
>>35050001
To be fair I kinda fucked up, because the EE exam was a lot harder so I studied only for it. Then I learned half a semester of math in 2 days and the only reason my grade is so low is because I didn't have time to exercise and didn't have enough time on the exam.

Buy earplugs. Best discovery I ever made, essential for any kind of communal living. Even use them when I'm at home now when I'm operating on a different schedule to my family (read: neethood)

Im about to start, i have no idea what its going to be like. I went to an orientation yesterday and all i could think was how flithy being a normie is, But being a normie is the only way you get somewhere in life. Anyone got any advice for me? I was thinking just ride it out as the loner cause i cant make friends.

study

do your homework

pay attention

go to every class unless you physically cannot

pick a major that will get you a job (med, engineering, accounting, teaching (gl w/ no $) ect.)

going beyond a bachelors is useless unless you're wanting to be a doctor, scientist, lawyer (bad idea), or teach college.

>>35051838
Thanks anon. Ive chosen IT as what im going to be studying, major in networking. I should probably mention im an ausfag so some of what you said might not apply idk.

Not even sure if this is good for me, on one hand I'm failing miserably but on the other hand I don't stand out.

what uni bruz?

Just kidding, but you should really try and show up every day anon. It's ALWAYS good to positively stand out in the class

did IT in WA, also all that shit about going to every class and being super organised, dont stress man, uni is fun as fuck
>>
>>35052162
I hope so, but im awkward as fuck. What was it like?
>>
>>35052186
if you put yourself in situations that force conversation or meeting new people it will be great for you, even if you fail a few times. I was pretty awkward and moved from home to a new city at 17 and found it pretty easy to make friends, especially in the first couple weeks. my general rule is that you should never ever skip week 1 lectures/workshops, its when most people feel the same and are keen to make friends.

also if youre staying at a college or uni accom, make the effort and go to every event. And join clubs at uni, most of the time theyre just mixers and excuses to make friends.
>>
>>35052274
Thanks man ill try what you've told me, sadly im not staying in uni accoms cause im broke so that second stuff doesnt apply but everything helps anyway.
>>
>>35052359
yeah then your best bet to make friends is to join clubs and make an effort in class. just sit next to someone and say hey, it usually works. good luck dude i miss the fuck out of uni
>>
>>35052425
God man the way you are making it sound is pretty cool, i really hope i have a good experience at uni cause my head is not in the right place at the moment. Thanks man means alot

I've gotten anxiety about coming into class unprepared and now I have two courses where I've lost a huge chunk of my grade due to this.

I keep telling myself that I'll cram a few chapters and come back ready, but it never fucking happens. The worst part is that this happened a year ago and my parents swore to throw me out if it happened again.

I'm just going to have to knuckle down and work my ass off for a few D's now. Get me off of this fucking ride.
>>
>>35047739
you honestly are. especially if it's your major. if you're trying to get a job in CS after school don't you think it'd be smart to actually learn how to code?
>>
>>35052541
Well, say that you weren't joking. Don't be a pussy.

I never recover but I do it anyways. If I had my life together and attended every lecture like the perfect student then I wouldn't be in the /unifeels/ thread of r9k on 4chan.org now would I?

I'm about to start my career and I'm destined to have a successful life.

So basically, I'm the guy you want to be and I'm here to tell you, anyone who has kids at 23 has fucked themselves.

You need to AT LEAST enjoy 22-27 as an unattached man with a shitload of income who can travel around the world on your company's vacation days and work towards his dreams and passion.

Do not get married till at least 25.

When you have kids and are married you are shackled with even greater chains than when you had to depend on mommy for $5 to buy chocolate milk

You do not have kids when you are ready to become an afdult, you have kids when you are done burning the portrait of your soul into the generation and are ready to pass on the knowledge, wisdom and failings of your efforts into a new generation
