Anyways, latley i have been contenplating not going to school anymore. I just cant take the whole school thing anymore its getting to me too much. I feel like it stresses me out more then it should and i cant take that anymore, im not doing too good in my class. its like im not trying or anything and i just dont know what to do with myself. With that on top of work i feel like my life is fucking insane, but the thing is when im at work and everything, i feel more at ease more comfortable with what im doing and not really have to worry about to much. anyways, what im geting at is, i really dont feel like i want to do school anymore. I just feel like if i took off from that for a while to clear my head, kind of get my life together, when it was the right time i could go back. Its always going to be there but i dont know if its the right decision. it feels like it could be. but i just dont know waht to do .

I'll answer this in more detail later but I felt the same way about 7 years ago coming out of high school.. I only went to college to please my parents and didnt earn one credit my freshman year. Looking back, leaving college was the best decision I made.. for me. College isn't for everyone, and you have to know when the time is right for you. Also you have to evaluate what you want in life and if college is really going to help you achieve it. For me, college helped but I'm more hands on than sitting in a classroom.. I have to learn from real world experiences.

Again, decide what you want and life and come up with a realistic plan to pursue it.. you dont have to have a degree to be successful. Hope this helps
