School starts in a couple of weeks (and I have nooo clue of the exact date). I haven't registered. I haven't seen my grades from last semester. I haven't even paid for last semester. Whoops, i forgot. No actually, I don't have money for this shit and i just don't give a fuck! I just paid a huge chunk of my tuition a couple of days ago and guess who's gonna be starving until next paycheck? Me. This is not okay.
Anyways, 80% of recent grads that I know are unemployed or working some silly ass job. ???, I'm just not understanding. This economy sucks.
You attend a good college, you work hard, major in whatever, you graduate, and then you end up with nothing but college loan debt?? Most likely, based on recent grad statistics, you end up moving back home with your parents. Someone explain. Am I missing something?
I've been doing alot of thinking about this whole school thing lately and I think I'll pass for a while. I'm just being realistic. I don't wanna be a college dropout, but I'm thinking about postponing for a semester until I figure out this whole situation.
I'm just not feelin' it right now.
To be continued...
yes this economy sucks!! ive been home since may filling out a billion applications every single day...and still nothing smh.

Go back.
ReplyDeleteI dont mean to sound like your mother but seriously. I had these exact thoughts after my sophmore year and I stopped going. I had an awesome job and all but I eventually quit bc thats not the life I wanted. I am still hustling 9-5's that I hate. I havent gone back yet bc "i dont have time" I would sell my kidney to be back in school. Get your degree. Yes you will be in debt but half of the world is. Go back sweetheart.
Even though the statistics at the moment are a little depressing and time are rough i think you should finish school. I am only a sophomore in college but I say stay strong my sister and everything will work out. What keeps me going is the fear of becoming a statistic. I refuse to be that stereotypical african american women who did not make it. -Shalisa
ReplyDeleteI would be the one to say to take time off if need be...that's just the way I see it and my own personal opinion. HOWEVER, I do want to encourage you to stick it out because you're almost done. I think it's important to stay focused on your ultimate goals and your passions and figure out ways to profit from it. It's easy to slide off track when you take time off...trust me. Just pay attention to your own journey and you will be successful.
ReplyDeletegood luck with everything!
hey melanie... i haven't been hiding...i'm recovered. i'm staying off the blogs so i can avoid triggers that will lead me back to the eating disorder. i'm about to start my third semester of nursing school, and i've gained some weight, but i'm not worried about it! : ) thank you for the concern, darling!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as an african american female who had the same thought as you! I am glad I had someone in my corner that said "You can do it - it is an investment in your life!" I appreciate my parents and friends who supported me through college. Their inspiration and insight really helped me to see past the situation. I finally graduated Ausgust 2004. I am now paying back all the money I borrowed. My salary is pretty rare for my age but I owe it all to getting an education. Mel - Education = Investment in Your Life! I will pray that you chose the right decision for you.
