Just
It's because I am not paying for it?
Should I just kill myself?Uni is the only thing in my life that I still have not given up
>>27317178
i feel you brother
i'm studyingenglishwhich i love, and paying for itpartiallymyself, but i feel no motivation to study or go to class. i hate writing papers until i'm in the zone (then i briefly love it) but mostly i jsut feel disenfranchised with the whole thing and want to quit

Did anyone else here get pressured into a major and/or career they hate because their parents made them do it?

I'm too close to graduating to do that.

Who had to drop all their classes because the crushing depression and no energy or motivation to think let alone leave the house? I'm fucked tbqh.
>>27318108
this except my depression is so bad i haven't even dropped the classes i just dont go

I've got no friends now, it will be no different in college, right? So why bother? I might just go become a cop or something else that doesn't require a high education. Then one day I could become a night shift security guard.
>>27317277
I too am studying english
my nigga
going to get a second degree in computer science
so I dont end up living on welfare the rest of my life
>>27318108
Are you me? I decided to withdraw from Uni yesterday and now I'm technically NEET. Would feel good if I didn't have to worry about having to pay loans in 6 months or refund the scholarship money I wasted this semester. I have no idea what to do.
>>27318171

That's not how the progression goes.
In fact I'm pretty sure few people work the other if they work one of them.

if you were just going to make friends it's not worth it, BUT, I will say I was a friendless loser in hs and made a good few friends in college. not friends for life or anything, but cool people i could talk and drink with.
>>27318255
Get a job
or make sleazy cash
become a 'web developer' and copy paste other sites code (spider) or use theme creating sites (bigcartel is your best hope). I make sites for colleagues where I work and it takes 2 hours but I get 100s for it when I say I finished 2 weeks later.

>>27318171
DO NOT GO TO COLLEGE.
seriously that was the worst decision in my life.
I want to kill myself because of it.
Getting a job after high school could have been the thing to save me.
I am a good worker, all my ex-bosses digged me.
But now, I am looking up lethal doses of over the counter medications.
because i have wasted 4 years in college and not even close to graduating.
I have some money now.
I think I am going to south america, spend it all on prostitutes and burn all forms of identification and kill myself.
I just don't want anyone to know I killed myself.
If i could go back in time.
I would get the first job I can land in a bank or whatever and easily climb
the ladder because I know how to work hard and kiss ass.
>>27318306
>Get a job
Yeah, I'm trying to work up the courage. I have no experience so it's going to be tough.
>>27318157
Yeah, I only went the first week of class then never end tbck to campus. Luckily I can just drop and add online so didn't have to leave the house.
>>27318255
I still haven't withdrawn yet, though they might make me. I still want to go to school but I don't have the energy and couldn't get myself to open a fucking books. I had to drop classes to keep from my already shit gpa to tank anymore.. I don't think I'm going to make it anons.
>>27318359
>I don't think I'm going to make it anons.
Cut your losses if you can, don't go if you know you can't do it. I wasn't even able to pass the simplest of classes, and at that point I knew I had to do something to save my GPA. I was on academic probation anyway.
>last semester
>have job after graduation

Help. Probably because I'm a virgin and no female all four years.

>>27318350
Follow up.
Maybe you will think that I'm not that bright or whatever to fail college.
But I actually scored in the 99th percentile in my math SAT.
my IQ is 130.
So know, the reason I can't do college is because of all the mental problems I have like depression and ADD.
I lost motivation and handed in a shitty second term project
I love the subject but I dunno I have my doubts about everything. I'm at uni years late, the course is packed with people so I'm basically a non-entity, employment after isn't great, everything costs a shitload so I can't afford to physically make good projects even if I have the ideas
In my spare time I hang out with alcoholics and drug addicts. Did coke last night, didn't really make me feel much. I also now have herpes
Prob just gonna drop out and die
>>27318405

>>27318497
Don't know what to tell you. I majored in CS and pretty much despised it. Coupled with the fact I didn't have to spend a dollar of my own money to go to college, I couldn't muster up any reason to put in any effort. I'm 10k in debt but that's better than 30k+.
>>27318523
nigga 10k isnt that bad
im 25k in debt and I'll have a worthless english degree
Im doing a masters of public administration next year
also canada here
i did a environment/health BA
I feel like with the school helping me i should be able to find employment because i have a masters
i just want to make like 40-45k
any pub admin bros here?
>>27318552
A degree is better than no degree I suppose, but yeah that debt is killer. A lot of jobs just have "must have college degree" in their requirements.
>>27318255

Am I going to make it lads?
Graduated 2.5 years ago with no internships or relevant work experience. Sure makes it tough to get anything related to ecology. If I had the hindsight I have today, I'd go for a more practical degree.
Just hit submit on an application for an entry level lab job and I was hit with pangs of anxiety over my cover letter sounding too generic. Hope I didn't fuck myself out of the first potentially relevant job I'll have had.

>I've got no friends now, it will be no different in college, right?
Depends. On your first day everyone will be eager to make friends so you can try to use that opportunity. If you dont make friends during your first and second week its literally fucking over. Its even easier to stay alone in college than it is in high school because nobody will try to approach and make friends with you during class or lunch.

IQ and SAT scores mean jack shit in university. It's about how much time you spend on the material, and what connections you can make. These courses are taught (for the most part) with the intention that you will, to some degree, teach yourself. Sure there will be some bird courses, but for the most part you'll need to do the work, and then some. IF you go in thinking it'll be easy (unless you already know quite a bit) you'll be in trouble.
>>27318523
Why'd you hate CS?
>>27318108
This was me 2 semesters ago.
Withdrew from most of my classes last semester.
Struggled, but got professional help last semester, did ok (literally C's and D's)
Trying to do much better this semester, and it's hard, but I think I'm going to make it.
All I have to worry about is a REALLY hard lab tomorrow.

You have to be autistic to enjoy it. My fucking retard dad got me into it and now I contemplate suicide while looking over Oracle documentation.
>>27319396
>IQ and SAT scores mean jack shit in university
SAT is easy as fuck compared to what you'll be doing in college and I have no clue how IQ will be of any help. Its all memorizing and some applying.
>>27319262
kek, may do this just for the experience.
>>27319453
What do you do and how much does it pay?
>>27318955
as other anions mentioned, it was easier in HS. People tell you college will be better, because you more freedom. But if you're a robot, it will be even worse. All that freedom allows you to totally isolate yourself.
>>27319477
Well apparently I'm autistic .___.

Fuck the poor and fuck you for hurting my society.
>>27319541
>All that freedom allows you to totally isolate yourself.
This is true. At least in high school people in your class would try to get to know you and it would get much easier to socialize with others when your classes are small and you have tons of time to talk to others. In HS even if you are shy (like me) people will try to get you out of your shell. In college you will be put in 300+ people classes where nobody gives jack's shit about anyone else. Unless you take the initiative to do something, nobody will. I will show up, sit through a class and leave once the class is over. As someone with 0 friends, its literal hell seeing others have fun too. Just fucking kill me already.
>>27318171
What this guy says is true.
>>27319100
Even if you are the biggest autism faggot everyone will want to talk to you for the first 2 weeks. But, if you don't get any further than the meaningless "where you from/what do you study/how are you finding it" chit chat and actually talk to people outside of study hours, you're toast.

>>27319396
This so much, especially in my little STEM niche.
Going to class is only 5-10% of the battle, especially in lower division courses.
Getting the homework done will probably help you the most by far, and being there on test review days. Tests will be a majority of your grade, and doing the homework will probably prepare you the best for tests.
I've ditched soooo much class over my college career, and I've done okwhen mental illness didn't cripple me.

Ye that's why I'm stuggling too. Haven't left the house in 3 months, and had trouble leaving the house last semester as well.

Yeah, switch majors.
Do finance or STEM.
>>27318492
When i stoped attending classes sometimes i would walk trough the campus aimlessly.
One day, i filled the bathroom with swastikas and edgy neo-nazi references... I never felt so dumb\autistic and disattached from everything like that time... Good thing i was good at hiding my power level.
>>27319953
yeah about that... i cant into math for shit
:^)
what do bros?
>>27319978
wow. i remember walking the halls of high school aimlessly during my senior yearl, staring at the normies. i was so alone.
>>27320017
maybe law. or business.
>>27320017
Finance or accounting. You dont need to know anything past Calc 1 and most of the time you wont be using calc at all.
What are you good at?
>>27319724
Not only Therapy, but getting back on medication again.
ADD sucks, and after a year in uni my meds didn't work well for me anymore. So I stopped taking them. Struggled through the next two years, but got by.
Then last Spring semester happened.
Honestly, the meds are what help on most days. Therapy only helps you...look at things in your life from a different, objective, and often more positive perspective.
You're feeling this way for a reason. All you have to do is find out what that reason is.
What do you think you're trouobles from?
Mine was always from chronic procrastination, getting distracted and not using the time I had for hw effectively, and finishing things late in general.
>>27319767

>>27320109
>what troubles
About everything tbqh. Anxiety, depession, no energy, insomnia, no self esteem,... just c.uck my shit up. Ye meds is why I'm thinking about going, I know just therapy would be useless for me. I am seriously considering it, but I need to call them which is a big hurdle on its own.
>first year CS
>have to take bullshit classes like biology, college writing, sociology and history
Fuck that honestly, I couldve graduated by now. My first year was literally filled with bullshit classes that had 0 relation to my major but are for some reason required. Not to mention that these classes just suck up your time, especially writing and biology where you are doing one paper every 2 fucking weeks.

>>27320367
What major? Because unless you are in communications or trolling I dont see how its not hard.
been overeating and drinking a bunch of sweet stuff because of stress. gained like 30 pounds since i started uni haha.

it'd be funny if it weren't so fucking sad.
4 assignments due in the next 4 weeks. Really have no will to do any of them. Pretty sure I'm on the wrong course but I'm at the end of 2nd year now. Invested so much time so I feel like I should finish it, but at the same time I feel like I'm wasting another year of my life.
>>27320093
familia, i dont even remember how to do a divition...
i still cant study pretty much anything with math. why?
were i live, after high school, all the students have to do a national/state test, called PSU.
there is a test for language, math, history, and scienes.
you have to do at least 3 of those.
depending on your score in these tests + your marks in HS, you can get into better uni's.
i did good/decend in the language and history ones, but shit on the math one. didnt do the science one.
tl;dr, i cant get into the the math centred majors because of this score.
im pretty good at language, music and philosophy (almost perfect marks in HS while everyone else where failing, not even memeing, but i dont why is so easy to me, essays are the fuckin easiest shit for me)
:^)
>>27320081
the unis in my country dont think im good enough of a humanist for law. and they are probably right
>>27318171
I hope you are still around anon because I have important advice to give you
DO NOT go right into College
Work at least 1 year beforehand
Work experience will prove to be one of the most useful things to have both in school and post-grad, even if it's just McDonalds
secondly, MONEY, students quickly either become poor or crippled dependents suckling the parental tit dry
it is one of my biggest regrets that I did not get a few years of work under my belt before shcool, as a grad noone wants to hire someone whose only work experience is spotty jobs during HS working tills and grills
it's also hard to get in-field work without good grades or work experience DURING college, and even harder after
Going into College right after school is a MEME created BY the universities as part of their marketing. if people waited, less people would find themselves suited to university and less would go
coming out of highschool even the most worldly experienced coolguy chads are fucking MANCHILDREN, why would you want to get education for your adult future before you've gotten your life somewhat on track, gotten some experience under your belt and some money to pay for it??
the logner you wait before getting a jump on work the worse it looks
the longer you wait for school (as long as you're not NEET the whole time) the better equipped you will probably be
IN CONCLUSION:
1. School MAY OR MAY NOT be for you, THINK ABOUT IT
2. Consider how much better it'd be to go to school with WORK EXPERIENCE AND MONEY, and anything else pesky like driver's licence or adult bank account etc taken care of
3. If you go to school with $$$ and you are OLDER (within reason) you have better chance of getting MAD PUSSY in the dorms
GOOD LUCK ANON

I'm in the exact same situation. I go to a university in Ontario that's party central with super friendly Staceys and Chads abound, and I'm still a gfless loser.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I'm on my last semester of my bachelor's and have been doing it since high school. I'd explore every place I can get to by foot on campus between classes. I am able to think more clearly when I'm walking
I'm going to kinda miss it when I eventually graduate

>>27320504

I mean finance, accounting and econ are not that math heavy as far as I know. If you cant do any majors that require at least some level of math you are literally fucked
>language
You cant compete against bilingual students
>music
If you have to go to college for this you wont amount to anything, most music starts dont have a music related degree
>philosophy
Philosophy is nice but apart from teaching other philosophy students you wont find a good job.
>>27320272
All of that might be troubling you now,
but try to think...what kicked all of this off?
All of those can be caused by depression, but your depression can be caused by something else.
A therapist might be able to determine this better. I know I only got diagnosed with ADD after my previous therapist did some tests.

>>27320723
What university do you go to? If it's my university, we can be friends.
>>27320660
yeah i know im fucked you retard
thats what i've been trying to say.
no im not going to study music, im retarded but not on that level (even tho i guess i could have met some cool musicians and make a band or something better with my life)
also im bilingual, my native language is spanish.
i meant "language" as "english" is for you if you live in usa or the uk i guess

I dunno I have been in my mind analyzing very aspect of my life over and over, I think I have a good idea of why I am so c.ucked up, a therapist asking me about how I feel or making talk about childhood wouldn't help. I want to just try the drugs to try to get myself to be productive and focused so I can actually work for real but maybe that's asking too much.
>>27320723
why arent you sharin some beers with a small group?
>>27320660
This is very silly, Philosophy grads have one of the best average salaries and are sought after in all sorts of fields. Thing is most people who go into philosophy don't even make it through undergrad cause it's too hard.
Music, also, has a wealth of jobs available in both the faculty and private music institutions. But Music students have generally been playing contemporary classical their whole lives so it's not something you can or should just pick up.

>tfw reading about all these lonely first years in the dorms
it only gets worse lads. try living completely alone in a shitty apartment. i haven't had a conversation with anyone since january. you think this is what you want but it isn't. being in the dorms was actually pretty uplifting for me, seeing friendly faces, (if not actual friends) and at least making small talk or sitting in the community kitchen was the most included i've ever felt in my life.
i miss hearing people i know having sex through the walls.

I used to play video games back in high school but literally cant even do that right now in college because I have no time. I just cant play vidya if I cant string at least 5 hours of non stop gaming together, 1 hour is simply not enough. And when you always have shit due I simply cant relax and get into it. So I mainly chat with people online or post here.
>>27321404
This, even though I get everything turned in on time and usually I'm ahead by a bit, I can never relax, cause there's always the next assignment or the next test, or some big project at work. I just want to die already

I have actual OCD (obsessive personality, not really too compulsive), and I had to drop out of college during my third semester because I couldn't leave my dorm room most of the time. freshman year was okay, I didn't like it that much. sophomore year began poorly and ended terribly. my personality is a lot more manic than depressive, but for 2-3 months after I dropped out I felt like absolute shit and literally did nothing (I would just watch tv aimlessly or lie down in my bed/on the couch). I was conditioned to think the state I was in was total failure, so it was hard to get past that for a while. I still haven't gotten past it over two years later even though I've physically moved past it, but I think this year should be a good change based on the time passed and how I've changed in my outlook over these two years.
Anyone else /hanginginthere/?
For the past couple of months I've been fealing really unmotivated and bored with schoolwork but yesterday I smoked someDUDE WEED LMAOfor the first time in months and just walked around the park for hours and got reminded of why everything's still worth it.

Damn son, you dumb.
In my last semester and I'm actually doing pretty well. Passed all of my exams. Normally I have to scrap by with the final to pass. Last semester was the worst of college career. Failed my first class and almost failed another one. because I had an internship and no time to study. My parents finally let me just be a student and I'm doing a lot better.

you could literally just be workin and it wouldnt be near as shitty as uni is and you could still buy pot and have some time to walk around high.
I hate college so much. I want to drop out so badly but my parents will kick me out of the house and I have no money. Not to mention they're going to think I'm a huge loser (if they don't already). I'm probably going to kill myself soon. Time for them to stop wasting money on me.
>>27321507
>i dont get why you guys like them so much
Because I have nothing else going for me in life. If I dont have a job, car, gf or friends, at least I can be a musketeer or a pirate online. Its a distraction.

To some extent its true. I wish they would stop with yearly releases. I miss the days when I could play one game for two or three years.

I studies Maths with Management and Finance there, but I got depressed within two years. It was a shitty course and a shitty uni. I later went to study Maths with Comp Sci at Southampton and it's so much better. I have friends who go here, I have a cute girlfriend who goes here, clubs are so cheap (it's 50p for a shot at Jesters on Mondays) and it's a small enough town that you get a community feel with everyone you live with. If you want to actually be happy in uni, switch to a uni in a smaller town.

I absolutely am. I did really well in HS and on the SATs, I even received a letter from upenn encouraging me to apply. My HS teachers also encouraged me to apply to as many Ivy Leagues as I can. I didnt give a fuck though, didnt bother taking any SAT subject tests and applied to a shitty state school (which I got a response from in less than 48 hours lol). I also feel retarded and often question what the fuck was I thinking.

I don't know about American unis, so I can't comment on that, my problem was that I already lived in London with my controlling parents, so I didn't get the halls experience or any halls friends. Course friends aren't quite as fun, and KCL didn't have any societies. I did Management and Finance because my parents told me I should and I listened for some reason, and everything in London is so expensive that you really can't go out that much, even if you did have very close friends, which you won't without halls.

Why do so many of you who have barely any discipline and drift by missing classes and work, even go to uni? Did your parents just tell you "school, military, or get the fuck out" after high school or something?
>>27323993
Yes and also the whole "you need a degree to get any decent job/you're a loser if you don't go to college" bullshit.
>>27323993
Yes. I have nothing to live for and have known since I was 8 I'm going to kill myself as soon as I have a job or have to support myself. And I wanted a few more years. I thought being somewhere new studying what I wanted would make me happy. I was a retard.

I didn't know i would be this shit.
I tried to put in effort and then i just didn't.
Then i went back a year and tried again with the same results.
Then i dropped out, worked for a while and found out something i was more interested in.
I was very excited about going there. When i was sitting around being bored i thought about how i could just study a lot instead of being bored and that would be nice.
Then i went to that other school, had very fun, liked everything and discovered that the courses there were really interesting.
Then i didn't study and failed again.

Mental Illness is holding me back, even though a uni degree and a white collar where I get paid to be smart job is what I want.
But yea, my parents would be crushed if I dropped out. Especially after they helped me out so much.Plus I would instantly become the fuck-up sibling, as my sister is chugging though a much easier degree.
