I just turned 25. And i font know what to do.
I went to college and go my associates degree in Science and one in Arts. Then i went to a 4 year university and failed and withdrew after one year.
After that i came back home and tried trade school. I got my osha license and a ServSafe certification. I wanted to go back to a new university but i already have debt from the first. Now i got these degrees and certificates yet i still live with my mother and no good job. I feel like ive done nothing with my life. I dont know what to do. My old classmates from high-school have moved out of state and are living like full adults yet im still here. I dont know what to do. What if i fail university again? And i dont even know what i want to major in anymore. I feel so worthless and no matter what i do im still stuck. I have awards and degrees yet nothing has changed. Nothing good happens to me. I just feel so alone and broken.

Cheer up , my friend, You can do it.
What an empty comment. If anything, this type of comment would probably push op deeper into sadness. “Hugs and prayers” bs comments like these are usually just to make you feel better about yourself.
yeah you’re right
I meant it but I has no better idea lol. I know if someone just said that so me It’d please me but we’re all different I guess.
Habe you thought about trying to learn a job with a professional, like something that doiesnt require any academic studying whatsoever? It’s often only a few months to get trained, and after that you have an income… And maybe after that you can see if you wanna retry college…
People tend to forget that aside from college and academic progress, we will always need say plumbers, fishermen… and it still puts food on your table.
(English is not my native language but I hope you see what I mean.)
I’m a woman so those jobs aren’t in my frame of mind. Hmm. I wanted to be a veterinarian before I failed uni. Now I got two associates degrees from community College. Servsafe certification, An Osha license. I don’t know what to do here. I don’t have any friends or connections for a good job. My mom is a total asshole to me I’m 25 and don’t have a clue of how to improve my situation. I don’t have enough to move to Atlanta or to go to a 4 year college. Just another 2 year college with my Pell grant. And my other family members won’t help me out either. Any advice??
Do you currently live in a big city?
No. A small town in a boring state.
Same age, if you want we can be friends. But don’t focus on society’s standards of what success is and don’t compare your life to the people you see “doing well” in other cities. That’s probably a facade and everyone is going through something.
Focus on what you enjoy in life like a hobby you can build something with and don’t let other people’s standards in life deter you. Apply to as many jobs as you can in Atlanta and you never know what will happen. I’m in the same boat so don’t think you’re alone
Ok I guess
Hey Life
: D
Almost in a very similar situation as you… I would say a big part of solving this current situation is to thoroughly think about & find an answer to this question:
What’s the objective?
What is it that you’re trying to achieve to begin with, so that you could then be able to evaluate if you’re succeeding or failing at achieving it?
What purpose do you want/wish/need/choose for yourself to give all your outmost effort to attempt to fulfil on this planet?
Is the objective simply to:
Get a high-paying job
& Move out from my Mom’s house
Maybe move out of state like my classmates
Live like an actual adult like my classmates
?
Cause yeah sure, that’s fine, you could choose “self-reliance” as your “life purpose”, no one’s gonna stop you
but if you actually achieve that within 1 to 5 years.. what then?
What will the objective be?
“Maintain Self-Reliance”?
I really do believe a human being’s life has far more potential to it than to be dedicated solely to survival or self-freedom
but I’d want you to think it through on your own or maybe in discussion here & I hope you’d arrive to that conclusion through your own mind
In their generally short lifetimes.. What purpose(s), if any, are human beings ought to fulfil in this world?
All the best Life!
