I’m worried if I try again somewhere else I’ll fail or give up before I start…
I think it’s a reasonable fear. I don’t feel smart anymore too.
I think I might do business admin, finance, or entrepreneurship. WGU has a finance degree and so does Cal State. Cal State has 100% online entrepreneurship degree.
I have a bit of the entrepreneurial spirit inside me still. Finance is or was my favorite subject or major so far.
I think a business degree is doable and more marketable than philosophy or science and I don’t have to stress out as much. Furthermore, I don’t need to prepare as much or study the courses ahead of time or ‘test’ myself as much.

I dropped out. Sz hit and I just absolutely couldn’t handle finishing my education. It really is a sore point for me to this day. Sucks a lot. But I guess I’d never use it anyway. Oh well.

A big fear of mine- failure! Contrary to what people here might think I had a rather mediocre academic record. It was only recently that I found out why - Executive functioning difficulties. EF A better guide to school age academic achievement than IQ. With me it’s always been organising and planning that’s been a major difficulty. Getting what’s inside my brain down on paper.

I dropped out on my first attempt at uni. I was majoring in journalism and my heart just wasn’t in the course work. Besides, at 18 I wasn’t mature enough. When I went back four years later, I was ready.

Third year I was discharged for many absences and not enough chapel points. grades were unimpressive. my teacher also told me he didn’t see graphic design in my future
then went to community college and had a falling out with the student newspaper
went to another community college and the same thing happened
at least I won 2 journalist association of community colleges awards at 1st place

Like technically I didn’t drop out I got kicked out from University for having a low grade point average. 
I was struggling back then with those beasts of sz and hindsight is such a wonderful thing but I can talk a good game and get by. Ended up working a physical job but mundane I could do.

I really should have majored in math or chemistry at uni. I aced all my college chemistry lecture and lab courses. It came very easy for me and was even fun. The dean of the arts and sciences college was recruiting me hard to major in chemistry. But I was adamant about nursing. I felt I was more familiar with that field. Bad move ultimately.
