Dropping out of college. Now what?

Student Lounge College Life

I failed two classes that I need to graduate my easy major and I couldn’t even do that right so I figured I should drop out. What’s next besides being a good lil cooperate slave?

Being serious though. I have zero skills, talents, passions, interest. I’m groomed to fail at life so now what? How do I tell my helicopter parent that I’m not going back?

You tell your parents you’re not going back by thanking them for all the support they’ve given you, but college is not the right place for you. Maybe telling them that you want to take a break to see if that motivates you to further your education would be an alternate route, especially if they’re paying for your schooling.

Perhaps taking personality quizzes and such could help.

When you say you need these classes to graduate, do you mean they’re your last two classes. If that’s so, I’d tough it out and study extremely hard. Don’t let two measly classes hold you back from graduating

I’m in my sophomore and I’ll be a junior because Im on the tipping point of being one already, but I’ll graduate a year later now and be in more debt.

You are never doomed to fail at life unless you let yourself be. You will however, have to find your way, and it will take action from you. No one will hand it to you. How about trying a full time job for a while, any job, and seeing what that is like. You might find the drive to return to college later in life too. Life isn’t black and white, that’s what makes it interesting and everyone’s approach to it unique.

Also, just talk to your parents. They deserve to know the truth, and you might be surprised that they can actually help you.

lol this is literally me. there’s a lot of jobs in which a degree isn’t necessary. maybe try doing something creative, like photography. directing. cinematography. idk. become a body piercer. work @ a restaurant. just be the best at what you’re doing & good things will hopefully come. & it’s YOUR life, not your parents’ life. just simply tell them that you dropped out bc you think it’s the next best move. you’re an adult after all.
