<p>So my current situation is one that I'm not happy to admit. I have been given a golden opportunity to attend school without having to pay for loans but I keep failing to succeed. In high school I was never an over achiever, but the opposite of that. I was a hardcore procrastinator and still am to a smaller degree today. I have been to 3 different colleges and switched my major a total of 3 times. I was originally doing pre-dental, then pre-electrical engineering, then pre-physical therapy and now I'm looking at a business degree. At this point my parents are at their wits end with me and I just want to get a degree and graduate already. I'm curious if anyone else is or has been in a similar situation and what they did or are doing to improve it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>I switched my major three times at my university. I graduated with a 3.2 GPA which I’m sure a lot of people here will laugh at but It’s about average I think or maybe higher than regular people over all. </p>
<p>You are going to run into problems that will distract you from your studies but you have to think positively and keep driving on. The job market is vicious because now 1 of 4 people have college degrees now which makes it hard to get a job and it’s going to get worst. </p>
<p>I had a lot financial problems while attending school and one of my parents passed away from cancer during my last semester which really messed me up mentally because they were never able to see me graduate and they were the ones who pushed me to go in the first place. </p>
<p>I look at motivational stuff and make short term goals and long term goals. I read books on self improvement and also I look up groups in my field for mentors and ask advice on career tips. There’s a lot people that are willing to help you and mentor you if you reach out to them which for me it’s really hard to do because it’s outside of my comfort zone. </p>
