Sorry to hear about having to leave college. Hope things turn out for the better. Have a little faith, as I left college almost 10 years ago, during a term, and thought it would end for me as well. I figured fast food would be my extent of knowledge. Boy was I wrong!
Just do what you like, and go from there. Things will work out in the end. I can attest to that!

Sorry to hear it, man.  We all fall on rough times, but it never makes it any easier. You're free to disappear from time to time as the situation warrants. Just try to let us know what's up if you're going to do so, so we know whether you're coming back or not. I hope you feel better. As Fangor said, college isn't the be-all-end-all of life. I've never been to college, for instance (mostly because I was worried I would flunk out due to a severe case of Not Caring), and life still went on. I even make a decent living. You're smart. You'll do fine. |

Glad to have you back, I know how you feel for the struggle to stay in school. If you need to work or something and go to a cheaper 2-year college, do what you gotta do. But I hope you are feeling better, You can do tons of things even without college, hell some companies will pay to have you take classes to advance in their company.
Take my father for example, finished 1 year of school, dropped out and married my mother, had 3 sons, and after working for Nestle Waters for some years, they paid to get him to go to school as he worked. Now he's a Plant manager for Deer Park and Making 130+k a year. And he's only 46 so its not like he worked his life away for that.
Things will work themselves out, try not to get too down in the dumps or things will seem a lot worse.
On the plus side, now that you are back, Udjat said you supplied him with the M&M Manual, think you can do me the same favor? (send me a PM)

Secondly, as cliche as it sounds you cannot let this get to you. It may be difficult, it may suck, but life will continue and it may have happened for a reason. College is an important but not necessary component of life. College is really just training your brain to learn. to seek new truths and to challenge old adages...you can do that on your own with enough willpower. You don't need an institution to validate you. Again, welcome back. |

I am out of my depression. That's why I'm posting.
It doesn't help though, that my famly is prone to clinical depression.
