Anyone here /ruinedbycollege/? I was a relatively normal person

why did you fail dude?
you probably had no occasions to attend, you could just learn shit online even. how did you fail?

i failed at HS because i felt like im just being shoveled shit and im not learning anything important, but college is different.

I'm just not smart or creative enough. My only desire in life is to be left alone. I don't want friends, I don't want a gf, sex, socialization, a family of my own, nothing. And at college that isn't possible. The stress of being around people every single day fucked me up and I couldn't focus. I purposely flunked my chem class since I want to drop out and started laughing uncontrollably as I walked out of the exam room. That's when I knew I couldn't be there anymore.

Same, 4th year now. Studying some shit I don't even understand, barely scraping by, my grades are so shit I don't think I'll be able to graduate with my intended degree and might just end up with a generic degree mill degree that every starbucks employee has. Graduating with around 25k debt, and the job economy is shit in Canada. All the work is either taken by immigrants, outsourced, or is being "sat on" by people who won't retire for another 15 years.

No real friends only acquaintances, no club/hobby interests. I really shouldn't be studying what I am (some chemistry shit) but I'm already going into my 4th year and throwing it all away just means I have to take a few more years and be in more debt. Unlike you I don't have any anxiety, I just stopped giving a fuck somewhere along the line, you should too. Once you stop giving a fuck you can refocus and just scrape by and finish college/uni and get the fuck out into the real world and job hunt.

get a shit job. get a shit place.
im currently just mopping floors right now

I got ruined by college but I had a good social life. I have completely lost all faith in my ability to deal with authority and failure. I found classes to be extremely difficult and then when I went to my teachers for assistance my grades didn't improve. (I'd write a paper, go to my professor for corrections of my draft, only to have my paper slammed for things that my professors didn't mention in the corrections of the draft) I eventually became completely averse to my professors, classes and schoolwork because of my repeated issues. I also became jaded as fuck towards my professors. I became extremely depressed, not leaving my room except to get extremely fucked up on drugs and alcohol. I eventually graduated but I feel like College has not imparted me any knowledge, and I feel like I never should have gone in the first place. My job applications are likely shit, my confidence is shot just in general.

>Went to college.
>Decide to be proactive for once in my life and started talking to everyone in my class the first day
>End up being the guy everyone relies on
>Hate it so much
>Start being rude, doesn't work.
>The way I insult people is usually a funny remark apparently
>Stuck with friendships I never wanted and still don't
>Life is mediocre

What degree are you getting?
Don't even bother going for 4 years and then wonder why you can't get a job.
Also try to join a club.

I'm in a biology and environ science program, but I've lost all passion since I don't give a shit about earth anymore. There's no other program I'd be willing to slave through, a simple no skill job sounds like a dream to me.

You wont get hired for anything other than teacher.

That's the one thing I've learned in the past 3 years of university. How well you do depends on how nice/easy your professor is. Some professors basically hand you the test material on a silver platter and all you need to do is literally go to class and listen, not even take notes. Other professors just talk about random complex shit and you bust your ass to study that shit but when the test comes along you're being tested on even more complex shit you've never seen before. Engineering courses have the better and nicer professors. I've never gotten anything below 70 in complex engineering while I've actually flunked some chemistry courses, not because I'm good at it, but because the material is genuinely made easier and you get free marks for doing menial brainless shit.

Ever hear of Ratemyprofessor?
Also as soon as the portal opens for class registration sign up for classes so you get the best professor.
No excuses.
Also what degree are you doing?

>>38443526
Chemistry Specialist (Materials). I know of ratemyprofessors but they change them up so often that there are a lot of empty/bs ratings. On top of that I really don't have much of a choice since it's usually one professor teaching one class at a time since the courses are basically teaching specific branches of chemistry so you don't have that many students past 2nd year.

>>38443526
I did not once agree with a rate my professor within a star of their ratings. The only people who post on there are people assmad about their grade or absolute dickriders who went to every office hours and studied super hard. For the average user it is worthless.

I was smart and motivated and had prospects.
I spent five years in college and by the end of it, I was a mentally unstable, suicidal mess. I lost my passions, my energy, my motivation.

Wow, this almost described my exact situation when I went to college to a T.

Try not to end up like me though. If you want a glimpse into your possible future, I didn't make it past my second year. My depression worsened and I spent almost all of my time either sleeping or just playing video games to escape my waking thoughts. I eventually was forced to drop out.

After that I was so ashamed and my self-esteem crushed that I wallowed as a NEET for the next 3 years before one of my old high school friends got me a job that I hated.

After 2 years working there I'm now 26 and trying to get my degree again, and I'm not even sure I have the grit to make it through again.

Be warned, it's a hard path if you don't know what you're doing when you stop college.

I'm almost 21 and I've got no college credit but I figured out a way to get a BA before I'm 22... now I'm pissed off that I didn't do it earlier and I legitimately might say "fuck college" again out of spite, I mean obviously I'll still be college aged while I'm doing it but I'll feel like I should've done straight out of hs
