Med school
I officially dropped out a few months ago, but I stopped going to classes and anything in 2009. I guess my mind slowly accepted it, without a major set-back.
Too dumb.

>depressed
Unless you were properly diagnosed, claiming that is just a lame excuse.

Getting in is relatively easy in my country. Staying in and graduating is the tough part.

That isn't dropping out, though, is it? I think what Op means is you get put on academic probation and still fuck up resulting in a letter from your school saying that you've been dismissed.

Go to a trade school or technical college, faggot. Find a field you are interested in and then get all the certifications. 4 year degrees are worthless nowadays.

Comp sci.
2nd year.
I had horrible mood swings that got in the way of everything, and I also wasn't motivated at all to do school work anyways. It was the best decision to make since it freed me quite a bit.

Your country?

I dropped out twice.
first time - studying engineering, dropped out senior year because i was setting myself up for a career i wanted no part of.
second time - studying sexuality studies, dropped out after a semester because i didn't have the money to continue and didn't want to go back into debt for something that seemed so unpromising.
i'd like to go back and finish something, but i don't know what.

Second semester grad student. Got straight A's last semester but I'm a huge fuckup and I bet I'll get kicked out before I finish it. Then I'll kill myself.

how? what's your GPA?
>>
>>27154027
1. Computer Animation
2. 1st week
3. I was too retarded and have no idea how I managed to get accepted in the first place

>>27160902
My GPA is a 3.8 overall. I'm doing fine in my classes right now, but I got in a little trouble today for screwing up some research I'm doing as part of an internship (my supervisor said it was fixable but he seemed angry). My tuition is contingent on maintaining As and Bs, so if I fuck up this internship too much I'll be thrown out of grad school.

I got kicked out of college when I was 19 for poor performance due to constant, unrelenting drug use. My drug problems are accelerating again and I think about suicide every single day, its almost an obsession, the thoughts just won't go away.

I don't know. I have a history of fucking everything up. People expect me to do really well (I was the top choice in the department for funding) but I just hate myself and everything else and don't think I'll actually succeed. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop basically.

Physics, 1st year. Lazy, didn't really want to do any work, then ended up feeling shit because underachiever, drowned myself in the NEET life and became homeless.

Now at 23, wageslaving at the same fucking soul destroying job I've done for about 3 years, simply to continue existing and occasionally get high. Literally life as wageslave is worse than being a homeless NEET. At least before, I had fantasies and impossible ambitions to dream of. Now I don't even have time to feel those feels, I'm at work every fucking day.
>>
>>27160405

No, you misunderstand, I don't want to do one single thing for the rest of my life. I get bored after a few years of doing things. I want to career hop, or, failing that, have 1 career that requires a bunch of different skillsets.
>>
>dropouts

>they think graduating means anything

literally all of my what the fuck

graduating is like step 0.000001 in life

then you need to actually get your first job which will 99.9% be unpaid or min wage, and thats after 5 years of looking for one.

0.002% get ivy leauge and graduate into a real job.
