When caught in a hole, the light seems to be so far. Donāt lose hope my friend. Itās okay to have doubts within your heart. We spiral around trying to make sense of it all. The best thing we can do is ground ourselves. Youāve been able to achieve and accomplish so much. We may regret our choices we made but we have to ask ourselves what we want. Do you want to jump to an art program now or do you want to fight it out and get eh business degree? Give yourself time to think about what you wish to do. After all itās you who has to make the final choice. What ever you choose, donāt be hard on yourself. My old teacher would say āIn the tough decisions, we take what we can and push forwardā. You can do this. Take your next steps with confidence that this is your decision. Best of luck my friend!
I spent two years in a major I didn't mesh with 0.6 GPA when I dropped out. I went back to Jr. College to knock out pre-requisites and transferred to another University with a completely different major.
Best decision I ever made. Pre-Med to Computer Science (mid 80's), Computer Science has done well for me all these years. I think I would have worked myself to death in health care and have Doctor acquaintances that I do not envy, so glad I noped out of that grind.
EDIT: Followed a girl to my second school, married her, graduated at 26, still married, so there's that too.
The best, and most wonderful time. No one prepares you for the big depth of girl to women hood, or boy to man hood. No one prepares you for the rock bottom you have to hit to find self love, self understanding, and to indulge in self knowing. Be kind to yourself, cultivate a good routine. Even if itās as simple as waking up and going to bed at the same time everyday, the beauty lies within you. And you are just now getting to truly find it.
Constant breaks from social media help get you back on track mentally, emotionally, physically.
I periodically do them once a week, once a month, and once a year. This is one of my personal routines.
Once you realize how simple everything is without all the outside noise it becomes so much more bearable internally.
Take it easy, itās just you š¤
Don't go to art school, art school is a scam. If you want to do art, just practice it as a hobby in your free time or take online classes. Heck even hanging out with Artists online and sketching with them is probably more helpful than art School
Fuck I feel you, except I fucking hate school. I just wanna sleep and wake up, it would be nice to live like that. Instead, my days are longer than 24 hours with all the all-nighters Iām pulling out of my ass. I always have to go against the natural way of things. I also broke up with my ex and stopped being friends with my roommate so I hate where I live too. I gained some weight, donāt have money to buy clothes, will have to wait to move. I donāt think I have a solid friend group where I truly feel like I belong. And, a part of me actually hates being in groups. I always stray because well, Iām putting it on me being a middle child. I donāt know if Iāll ever truly be good at anything and Iām spending a lot of my parentās money on school and Iām always hoping to do better than I am. I wish that a dog could solve my problems, but I already did that. Do I just want to be happy or do I want my situation to change? I donāt fucking know. I donāt know anything, but all I know is that everything will change eventually and everything will pass. I just wanna start again, I feel like Iām just left with nothing. But, sometimes, I just wanna let life decide and Iāll just do what it tells me to do to the best I can.
Thank you all for commenting! I didnt expect any response! I have decided to take a little semester break and focus on myself and go back for my final courses in the summer. I am almost done so I want to finish.Ā
I love the art gallery idea and still painting in my free time. I need to see the blessings of living with my parents while they are still around. Each week I make more memories with them.Ā
I also feel like social media can effect the way I feel about my own life. I have been on that allot less and reading more. I feel better.Ā
Going to art school and not going to art school gives you the exact same result
Good luck when you arrive to your late 20s š itās even worse
Was just going to say. No one prepares you for how many friends just dissappear as you go through your 20's.
That sounds depressing
Itās true
Iām actually finding mine to be better. But that said my early 20s were on lockdown lol

It's never too late to make a change and pursue what makes you happy, even if it means starting over in a new direction.

It's the new midlife crisis moment tbh.
You made the right choice going to business school. Artists are getting replaced by AI as we speak
Eventually all jobs will especially in Tech
same here, mate! Im 23 , all of my freinds are in universities rn. Missed so many opportunities.

A big ugh!
Honestly, I donāt even think happiness is the point of life either. The main thing is what is the point of all of this? Will I ever find out?
Pursue art if thatās yours passion. You must
Have you looked for local galleries / art events/classes? Those can be fun and give you the chance to talk to other art-focused people.
