Graduation timeline conflict
Hi everyone, this is my first rant so hopefully it doesn’t come out too weird lol. I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’m a Poli-sci junior who hadn’t gone this spring 26 semester because of a series of mental health challenges, and ultimately decided not to go back to either colleges that I later deferred to this fall. Between them, my commute school which causes me some acute distress in finding the right housing to get there, but,I get to graduate by May 27 (if I take winter classes and or overload). My safest bet would be December 27 to graduate. The other school I’m highly interested in, but my mom, dad, sister, home tutor disapprove. It can raise my awful 2.4gpa, though i’ll be classified a sophomore. I could graduate by December 27 there too if I shorten it from five to four semesters by taking summer classes, but the thing is I’m unsure if the summer classes will be broad enough to handle my degree and I don’t want to gamble my future. If I graduate from there, it’ll be possible that by May 28, my parents will eat me alive if that happens, I don’t want to be 22 and be behind ??. All advice is welcome please.
