Going back to school at 25
Going back to college at 25 (rant, kind of need feedback)
I just graduated with a bachelors. I’m 25 now I graduated at 24. I want to go back to my old university and study something else. I, for one had an issue with my old department, but I don’t have to think about those professors as it’s not the degree I’m studying. Anyways. Being in camp with younger people. I would have an apartment style dorm since I don’t have an apartment or anything fr. I want to go back. I was always scared of following what I really wanted to do in life.
So I used college as a fun distraction, I really liked it, never wanted to go home, but once I graduated I realize how that while getting the degree was fun and interesting. I still want to follow what my spirit has been loving but to scare to tell anyone. So I planned on going back, not for the whole degree, but to only take the classes worth the meat and potatoes, I already went thru core classes, I’m here for business now. So I would take only what I need. So about a year of school. I secretly applied to the school bc it was easier they already had my info and my m doesn’t want to me to go back to school or ask my dad to help pay so she didn’t give me the residency code necessary to apply. She doesn’t want me going here because I had to do mother semester due to a head injury I got in class and the failure of how my professors and chair of that departed decided to handle it. She’s also sending the head of the school an email to report the situation. I got in, spoke to an advisor and was told I can take the classes, I just need to make an appointment. Except, I don’t have housing now, the application date for housing is closed for this semester. And I don’t have a way to pay for it. But not only that, my mom doesn’t want me to go back to school.
ESPECIALLY THIS ONE. She wants me to go somewhere else and she doesn’t think I need to go back to school anyway. Idk. I don’t think I flourish here, I need to honestly move out, but I also want to go back to school. It’s unlikely bc I don’t have the money or housing but. I should really move out. Work on school once I move out and go online. I just don’t have money, a job or anything. I just wanna leave now. I can flourish outside of my crib without my mom and sister being there, they do whatever for me but it can get toxic.
Really I just want to get out of the house fr.
I know I went on but….
