Topic: Hey!!

[I Love Kelly and Soccer]

well we started off doing over 30 hours a week then it went to bout 25 hours, then down to like 16-17, back up to 25, then down to 17... so it goes all over the place but hopefully it goes right back up soon... and yeah dunno what im doing bout uni..dont think i'll go back this year though... i really like not going!

That is a big cut in hours I hope it does go back up though! College isn't for everyone. If you decide to go back maybe just take a class or two to test out if you really want to be there or not.

yeah i hope so too. yeah if i were to go back i would do it as part time for a bit, not full time...

[penguin384]

That's a good way to do it

[I Love Kelly and Soccer]

yeah..i just dunno when im gonna go back though... i'd have to try and fit in with work which means i'd be getting less hours and like no money...

[penguin384]

Only do it if you want too

[I Love Kelly and Soccer]

yeah but i dont even know if i want to go back... like i do but then i dont... and what if i go back and im doing part time and everything and i still dont wanna be there??

[penguin384]

Maybe just take one class just to test it out.

yeah i know but what if ive written the letter to tell them im coming back and go through all the crap of choosing courses etc and then i get there and im just like this sucks its not what i want?? so i leave and be like well now what am i gonna do with the rest of my life...??

sorry im bothering you with this all teh time but its really annoying me cos i dont know what to do and its all so difficult atm..

hey- You are not bothering me.  Figuring out what you want to do with your life is confusing as hell and is a hard descion. I have a degree in sociology and I work in a kids hands on science museum.  I love every moment of it, but it wasn't my original career plan. Sometimes I still don't have a clue what I want, and I am almost 26, haha.. but I am staying put at the museum.
Maybe it was the school itself? It's just wasn't the right fit for you. Maybe it was you went to the uni strait after high school and you just needed a break from school.   
If you want just take one class and see if you can take it non-degree seeking or if they allow auditing (taking it just to take it, not taking it for credit). That way there is no pressure.  And take a class in something that interest you.

gosh, we are talking in so many different places its hard to keep up with what we are talking about where...!! 

yeah i think one of the reasons is that i went straight from school to uni and didnt get a break.... and i was already over the assignments and everything at school... and it has definitely been good having this break and not worrying about getting all these assignments done on time and that...

another one is i really have no idea what i wanna do, like for a career.... so it kinda seems pointless.... there was more i was gonna say but im really tired and cant remember what it was...!

[penguin384]

oooh so my evil plan of bugging you on dffetn sites has finally worked! hahaha jk
Figuring out what you want to do it hard. Try volunteering to for different organizations to help you get a feel of whats out there. That might help too.  The museum where I work now I volunteered at when I was at the first college (uni) I went too.  Then I moved away to finish college, then went up north..  they remembered me and took me back this time as a paid employee!lol.. Anyways if I never volunteered there I wouldn't of discovered an interest in working in a museum. 
I'm tired too.. need to go to bed.. i ramble too much when I am tired!

[I Love Kelly and Soccer]

haha thats alright, i'll forgive you for your rambling

yeah except its too hard to try and fit that in with work and everything...i cant think of anything else to say..i think i said it all on facebook..! 

[penguin384]

lol thanks. Well with volunteering you can fit in your schedule volunteer like a couple times a month or something.

[Thera]

wow, sorry to interrupt y'all. But I have a feeling i have the same problem, lol. I'm in my last year of college now and the exams already started, so in half a year i'm graduated here, if everything goes the way it has to go. But idk what to do when I'm finished here. Mostly i like to become a writer of English books (yeah i know, I'm a Dutch girl, so it's weird to write English books, since no one does it). I want to write fantasy stories a.k.a like Twilight, Harry Potter etc. But next to it i have to have a job and that would be Graphic designer (designing posters, cd-booklets, logo's etc.), but the problem is with this crisis there isn't much work there. So then it would be better if i studied further. But if I'm going to study further with the creative side, then I always come back at a school that is too "levitating" a.k.a. too artisticly. < idk if that made sence, but what i mean is that all the schools of higher levels focus more on creative artists, painters etc, not the commercial side of it and i'm more the commercial side then the creative artists side, that's why i don't feel on my place at those schools. So if i won't be going to these creative schools then another option is to study further with something that has to do with English, so that my English becomes better. But for that is also not really a study, cuz then it would be studying for Journalist or translater and that's also not what i want to do.

^ ok, so idk if that made any sence, but already thanks for reading it, I just read the both of your posts and directly thought "i have the same problem".
