Why I’m Withdrawing From College🫤

#safespace #lemon8challenge

So I’ve been in college for a year and a half and I’ve been struggling with finding out what my passion is. I took 1 semester of fashion business then I transferred schools and changed my major to fashion merchandising and buying.

At first i felt happy to be going to a new school actually majoring in what I wanted to do but overtime I found myself struggling with some of the work and missing a lot of school because I felt bored with the major because everything was done in computer .

So this year I decided to change my major to interior design an I felt like it was something I thought about doing for some time, I spend over $400 on supplies I was really happy about having a fresh start being that I can be more hands on with my work but I found myself loosing that passion again slowely and none of the fashion credits I earned would count towards this major so it felt like a waste.

There’s so much things that I want to do and I feel like I wasn’t as mentally prepared for college as I thought I was so I decided to withdraw for the semester to keep working and actually figure out what I want to do. I’m starting a lash business and I’ve never felt more motivated and passionate about it until I stopped going to school and I’m really determined to work on it to build myself back up finically as well as run my own business and I’m hoping to start more business’s and even get into real estate.

has anyone ever dealt with this and if you do what’s your advice ?!!!💕💕

... Read moreWithdrawing from college can be a daunting decision, but it can also be a necessary step for personal and professional growth. Many students face the unsettling reality of uncertainty in their academic journeys. It’s common for students to feel overwhelmed when their majors don't align with their interests or when the coursework becomes tedious. Changing majors can be a fresh start, yet it might not always be fulfilling. Students often grapple with the fear of wasting time and money, especially when prior credits don't transfer. It's crucial to recognize that these feelings are valid and shared by many. Seeking advice from peers, mentors, or career counselors can provide valuable insights and help individuals navigate their paths. Starting a business, like a lash venture, can spark a renewed sense of motivation. Entrepreneurship allows individuals to pursue their passions hands-on and offers a chance to build something of their own. If you’re contemplating withdrawing from college, reflect on your passions and consider how they align with your long-term goals. Whether it’s starting a business or exploring other educational avenues, prioritize your mental health and personal happiness. Lastly, remember that you're not alone in this journey. Engaging with supportive communities can offer encouragement and advice as you explore new opportunities and chart your course. Don't hesitate to reach out for guidance or share your experiences with others facing similar challenges.
