Thinking About Going Back to College....

Rae243
Rae243

A long time ago I was going to college but it was such a bad time. I was facing homelessness, fatigue and the loss of a job which caused me to drop out. Becasue of those things, I've been afraid to leap back into a school setting. Now today is very different from that time. I live alone and it's hard to stay motivated and to even get out of bed most of the time. I have been fighting to make something new, but it seems hard for me to connect to people so I think since things are slower than usual, maybe I'll go back to school and do my best for the previous mistakes to happen again. If it wasn't for the pandemic I would go to the classroom but since the pandemic, I think it's safer to stay away at home. I think this is my time and get serious about my career and where it may take me.


What are y'all doing during this pandemic? Are you working or looking for work? Are you too thinking about going back to school as well?

Not doing much at all. COVID is all over the place now. I would put any plans you have on hold for now. It's too dangerous right now, it's worse than the first wave of the virus that came around. Be patient, good things will happen to you.

I'm in college. I'm taking classes online, it's much better. I don't have to worry about going out especially with the pandemic. You can still take online classes. See if you're comfortable with it. Good luck!

Good luck all around!! I'm doing online class right now- one at a time, i don't want to burn out - and i'm working on crafty type things sometimes so the time i can't really bring myself to leave the couch is at least a little rewarding. Connecting is hard when we're all isolated, but I have faith in you!

I too dropped out of college and returned years later. I now have my masters degree and encourage you to move forward. You have made mistakes that result in wisdom.

I'm working from home. Hope this finds you well.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
