So I told my dad that I'm dropping out of college, and he said that unless I have a degree or am going to a university then he's going to kick me out and won't let me use his car anymore (I don't have my own car). I have about $3,000 and the quarter ends this friday. What do I do r9k? I'm sure some of you have been in this situation.
I don't have any friends and I'm borderline wanting to kill myself right now. I don't have a vehicle or somewhere to stay until I set myself up with a job and can get into trying out some business ideas on the side. I won't have internet anymore either. Basically, I'm trying not to become homeless, any help would be appreciated.
>>27164061
dont drop out then. simple
you should've stayed in school till you had an idea of what to do in life.
>>27164086
>>27164088
I can't go back, I fucking hate it and have no idea what I'm doing there. It feels like I'm just flushing money down the toilet with random classes I don't give a shit about.
>>27164061
Use your money to buy a fucking car.
>>27164169
Doesn't $3,000 buy you a piece of shit that'll break down fast though?
>>27164128
It feels like that the first 2 years but then shit comes around, trust me.
You're probably taking the general ed shit.
>>27164128
find something you give a shit about. anything that is interesting. think about it, its either that or be homeless sleeping on benches at the park
>>27164213
Yea, you'll get a entry/starter/beater used junk, but it's a car and unless your staying in college, you'll want a car to live in and use for getting to work
>dad gives you a bunch of money so you can get the education you need to get a decent job (besides trades, which i doubt your beta ass is interested in)
>you say you're going to flush it all down the drain by dropping out
>he reacts perfectly rationally by discouraging you from ruining your future and wasting his money
Just deal with it you whiny faggot. You're absolutely in the wrong here.
>>27164245
>tfw it never came around for you
You liar.
>>27164275
This is correct. College is life on easymode anyway. If you can't handle this, you will get wrecked by reality.
Dig deeper, find some resolve, and get your degree, bitchtits.
>>27164061
Where ya from robo I'd let ya stay with me i know your feel all too well and I want to help
>>27164281
I'm a senior and it came around last year when I started seeing the finish line and taking more classes that are related to my major.
Shit felt good, it's like everything clicked into place.
You do t have to believe me, anon. It's your life, so you do what you want, just contribootin
>>27164128
Welcome to real fucking life. Strap in buddy. It's not so bad once you accept the fact that working isn't so bad. Just focus on something that can make you enough money to get by.
>>27164281
you were too retarded to pick something practical and something that would result in a job
>>27164339
>>27164314
>>27164275
I'm going to kill myself then. It's been fun robots, I've enjoyed the keks I've had here.
>>27164317
Near Seattle
>>27164337
>everything posted here is a work of fiction
>believe me
>>27164347
I picked CS you fucking faggot, and it ended up being way over my head. I wasted 4 years going through that major and now I'm 10k in debt.
OP, this thread is full of trolls and retards. Don't listen to their "man up, it's easymode" bullshit.
What degree OP?
>>27164375
You won't do it. Eventually you'll realize how lucky you really are to have a place to live and someone's car to use, and I'm sure there's more things for you to be grateful for. Just try to graduate ffs. If you drop out you'll regret it forever at this point.
>>27164128
Change the degree
Or move to Europe for cheaper uni.
That should probably help.
>>27164390
yea you just proved my point you absolute retard. you have to pick something you are capable of and obviously you are either too lazy or stupid to finish
>>27164375
Yo mane I'm in pinehurst Seattle lets do it
>>27164494
>you have to pick something you are capable of and obviously you are either too lazy or stupid to finish
"Go STEM it's easy and you make tons of money."
"Major in Computer Science, I can definitely see you doing that anon. That's so you."
"You're so smart anon, you'll go far in life."
When you hear those things every day, what do you expect to happen? I didn't know I wasn't capable of doing it because everyone always told me that I was. I had no doubt that's what I wanted to do out of high school. None.
>>27164061
>Man up
>just be yourself :^)
>Go to the gym
>Just talk to girls
>just go outside
>you just need more experience.
but in all seriousness you should just get the degree. you will have your parent's respect and you will have a B.A. Nothing bad can come from that except debt which is not too hard to handle. you make the choice. dont ask people who never leave the house for honest normie advice.
OP, what I'd recommend is calling his bluff and dropping out. Part of being an adult is charting your own course in life and it sounds like you have a strong conviction that college is not the thing you need to be doing right now, so you should probably follow that conviction. You can always go back later when you're more motivated.
I'd assume you're fairly young, probably around 20? If so, getting a shitty part-time job somewhere is a great idea for you. Nothing like a bit of menial labor to get your head straight, and you'll be generating money instead of losing it while that straightening out is occurring. Try to use the rest of your time to explore yourself; try out new professions, make friends, bang women, take up skateboarding, whatever.
I don't think your dad is going to actually kick you out anyway, especially if you can explain to him that you have goals and ideas about your future. He acts tough now but when the time comes that his son's only choice is sleeping on a park bench, he'll let you stay. If he didn't care that much he sure wouldn't be shelling out for college.
I'd assume you're also male? You should also keep in mind that men take longer to mature on the whole. It all pays off when you get to that point, but you might spend your early twenties not being an upright citizen. That's fine for a man, your time in the weeds will prepare you for the rest of your life.
>>27164275
He won't lose anything, the credits for the classes he's taken will still be there. If anything he's being the more prudent of the two because he's decided to not expend money frivolously, which he would be if he just took classes with no idea what he's doing in them or where they're taking him. He can always go back later, it's far better to conserve the precious resource of that money until it can be put to good, thoughtful use.
OP here, the other thing is that it's already past the deadline to register for next quarter.
>>27164631
Then you fucking blew it. Why are you shit posting if you already knew the answer?
>>27164619
I am a 20 year old male, yeah. I've worked a full-time shitty job before so I know what I would have to look forward to. Things look bleak as fuck
>>27164588
CS is the easiest STEM degree friend, maybe you should stop being so retarded, the ever repeating story of the dumb kid that thought CS was just programming and i bet couldn't go past differential equations.
>>27164689
Because I'm asking how not to become homeless, not advice on what gender study class to take, fuckstick.
>>27164061
Same boat. Hate community college and I am looking into welding. Did well the latter two years of high school, getting As and Bs in honors/AP courses. The drive dissipated and now I suck fat cock at school. Might do welding and see how I take to the craft. Parents don't know that I've considered this path, when they learn this they'll likely bitch at me and tell me I have so much potential or that I'm not suited to that kind of work. I might just go to Yellowstone and hike 300 miles into the middle of the park and shoot myself.
Life sucks.
>>27164702
Thank you for your wise words.
>>27164588
once again proving how much of an absolute brainless moron you are. your seriously were to retarded to understand what you were capable of? jesus christ do you not see how fucking stupid you were?
>>27164714
You really are hopeless. What, then? You want somebody to tell you how to bullshit your parents because you fucked up? take responsibility and tell them you blew it and you need another chance. If you want to bullshit them then tell them you are suicidal and cant handle it.
why do people constantly shill to stay in college regardless of everything
you do realize that everyone can't handle college right? most of the people don't even belong there any way. for a lot of people it is just not going to help them
>>27164780
if you cant handle college then you are a brain dead lazy piece of shit i am sorry but its as simple as that.
>>27164702
>>27164750
Samefags please, you can stop it now.
Why isn't anyone telling OP to get a fucking job? You have $3,000 dollars. Get a job, put money down on a car, pay security deposits on an apartment and start paying your bills and living.
If you can't manage this find a homeless shelter. The one I work at has an employment agency and will pay security deposits and electricity deposits for those who are earning income.
>>27164814
no. you need to realize that you are the only reason for your position and too much of a retard to understand what your feeble mind was capable of
>>27164780
>why do people constantly shill to stay in college regardless of everything
Because these people are obviously retarded and their best choice to ~{"">succeed<""}~ in life is to go to grown up's daycare.
How do you expect such a weakling and low drive faggot to succeed withouth at least a certificate that he's >""proficient""< at something.
What's the going to do? Become the next Bill Gates? No, his best choice is to coast in life as some wagecuck.
>>27164814
Kill yourself my man
>>27164805
so... what... staying in college is going to help those lazy brain dead pieces of shit?
it's not for everyone..
Buy a shitty car for coupla hundred bucks and sleep in that while you look for work. Sounds pretty comfy to me.
>>27164780
>everyone can't handle college
Dis nigga.
>>27164817
This anon has the best answer so far.
>>27164690
That's fine, things probably should seem bleak, and it's better to face that bleakness now than later.
I speak as someone who made the opposite choice in your situation. I was in college at your age as well, with no real clear idea where I was going in life or what I was doing, but I didn't consider dropping out and going home because I had the same kind of thoughtless stigma against it that everyone does, but in retrospect it's exactly what I should've done. I wasted so many years and so much money just taking random classes because I didn't know what else I could do and I didn't trust my own judgment. What I read in your posts is that you've basically already decided that you can't continue with college right now, and all I want to say is that you should be honest with yourself and do what you think needs to be done. Giving up something isn't always a failure, sometimes it's the best course.
However, the other thing I wish I'd been doing when I was your age was being honest and open with my parents about what I was thinking and feeling at the time, which is what I'd urge you to do with your father if you can. I don't know what kind of man he is obviously, but I think if you make your situation clear he will at least understand your choices. And they are your choices; at the end of your life it's just going to be you that's left with the weight of them.
Once you're out, take a chance on something. There's no better time in life to try and fail than right now.
youre so pathetic that it makes my pathertic self fuckin tired at the thought of what i would type to try and knock some sense into your stupid ass op
>>27164879
yes you are correct college is not for everyone. its not for those who are capable and favor manual labor which i assume you could never do because you couldn't even handle getting an education lmao. keep on trying to convince yourself that you arnt retarded. keep on tryin
>>27164375
inb4 too much of a pussy to kill self
if i lived on the west coast life would be sunshine and daises as opposed to grey and steal mills
That's rough, OP. I also dropped out (the first week, lol) and even though my dad was pissed off he at least didn't kick me out. Though I did get a job and said I'd be going back this fall.
I really hope I find something legitimate before then. I don't want to go back.
>>27164339
>Welcome to real fucking life. Strap in buddy.
>>27164954
clearly a post written by a highly educated individual
>>27164061
>rent an apartment with the money you have left
>live the comfy NEET life doing anything you want
>peacefully kill yourself once the money runs out
I've been doing this for the last 7 months and have never been happier in my pathetic life. I'm going to continue enjoying the last 2 months I've got left, and then I can finally rest forever. Best of luck anon.
>>27165070
>Eggman
If he can make it so can you OP. So can you.
>>27165126
lol it'll be funny when you actually run out of money and suicide actually hits you in the face. You won't do it, you'll cry like a pathetic bitch.
>>27164690
That's life. What else were you thinking you'd be able to do?
>>27165118
no just not a self deluded moron who expects to accomplish things im not capable of like yourself but in your case you probably cant accomplish anything cause youre too lazy
>>27165175
what the fuck are you talking about? accomplish things I'm not capable of....?
>>27165171
Being independent after using my finances to create a stable source of income that doesn't require exchanging time for shekels.
>>27165348
That's called retirement you pleb.
>>27165526
its like these idiots dont have a single clue how the world works
>>27165560
They don't man. I didn't either when I was 18, but shit hit me hard once I graduated and didn't go to college. Honestly, the best choice I could've made was take a break for a little bit.
>>27165163
Nah man, I've been fully ready to go since this began. I'm just having a bit of fun before the end
>>27165625
Keep telling youself that. When you put a gun to your head you'll shut the fuck up about it.
dont drop out man
The key is to just have a fucking plan.
If my kid every dropped out of uni I'd want to know he had a good fucking plan, or else I'd crack the shits massively.
If your plan is just to sit at home and play world of warcraft and post r9k all day then fuck no I wouldn't tolerate that.
You don't need to go to uni, but you need to be building toward something.
That's all your parents want is for you to achieve something and become self-sufficient like an adult.
>>27165642
I'll be fine my man. I wish you all the happiness in the world :)
>>27164245
>>27164275
>>27164314
>>27164339
Fuck you all OP is doing the right thing. How many people end up miserable because they got forced to do some shit they hated? Parents like OPs are assholes, you let your kid do whatever he or she wants within reason. If I had grown up with my dad he would have 100% forced me to do law since that's his passion and he is constantly badgering me to do it. What would be the fucking point seeing as I am piss poor at humanities scraping Ds and Cs when I was consistently an A* student in science and maths? But he won't listen, engineering is pleb work, the true middle class are top lawyers and politicians he claims. Thank god I never grew up with him.
>>27164061
Offer to switch to another degree, that is a fair deal. If he can't agree to that then see what I said above and move out ASAP.
>>27165526
>wageslave your whole life and hate it
>look forward every day to being senile but with enough money to live off until you're dead in 15 years
No thanks.
