There is no better way to say it. It SUCKS. Is school not meant for me? I hate the stereotypes that are placed on people without degrees, but is that a good enough reason to continue this long, mainly unsuccessful journey? I did SO well at SHSU. Now going back looks impossible. Sure, HCC screwed up but its one thing after another. Is God trying to tell me to find another path? Will I be happier? Or just ashamed? I don’t know what to do and I don’t really trust anyone around me enough to give them the full honest story and value their feedback. Everybody judges and everyone wants me to do what sounds “good”. Well, what society dictates doesn’t always work for everyone. I felt pretty low when I heard about all my SHSU colleagues graduating this semester. I looked at pictures and notes and felt like such an outsider. I’m not artsy or weird or alone enough to make it look good. I really could use some real answers. Reality happens, opinions don’t. I know a college degree is not a ticket to Heaven, but it sure helps get a ticket to success.
