Discouraged
Okay, I hope this post is okay, b/c it has nothing to do w/BB or anything to that regard. I've been trying to access the dept. of education federal aid form for 1/2 an hour and it keeps telling me server down, only when I go to fill out form, or this page cannot be displayed. I'm almost in tears right now b/c I've been telling myself I'm going to go to school (colllege) the past 6 years and haven't. I know this may sound silly to some people and I know others have gone through and survived much much worse, but I really need to vent. I haven't done it for the past year b/c I bought a house and support it by myself so I'm scared to jump into another huge financial obligation alone. So, I told myself today at work that I was going to go home tonight and do this and it didn't work. I'm so upset b/c I do not even have a clue what degree I want, I just know that I need to start now or I'll never do it and I feel like this was a sign.

Okay, so I feel a little better, but extremley discouraged. HOw am I suppose to make a decision about what I want to do for the next 50 years. I know all hope isn't lost, but somedays when it's one thing right after another it just sucks. I know God won't give me anymore than I can handle so I appreciate him thinking I'm this strong!! Thanks for listening!!! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: Discouraged
Sweetpea! Deep breaths...
I know how daunting this all seems, and discouraging - but, when you finally get to college - and you will! - all of your struggles will be totally worth it. I'm just graduating from college this summer, and let me tell you - I changed my mind about 400 times about what I wanted to do...choose something that you're passionate about...something that challenges you, and gets you to think. One of the best things about a liberal arts education is the fact that you get to try out a whole lot of things before you settle on one - and I'm still not completely settled on one. You most definitely do not need to know what you want your degree to be in - sometimes the best things are the things you stumble upon. The fact that the site is down is NOT a sign - tomorrow is a new day. Technology is sometimes shoddy, and frustrating! Keep your head up girl - we are all here for you, for anything, all of the time. Today was just one of those days - one thing after another. A clear head going into this will help you tons....tomorrow is a brand new day...a clean slate, to start over again...

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks Kristen!! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Normally I'm a glass is half full person, but yesterday just had me way down!!!! And you're so right, today is a new day to try over again!!! And maybe that's what I need to do...stumble on my career choice and not put so much pressure on myself to konw before I start!! I'm happy where I am and make good money, but I would like to be happier, make a little more $$ and do something that helps people in a more direct way!!! Whatever it is, I must put it in God hands and allow him to show me the path he has designed for me (I think I need a sign somewhere to remind me of this, often).

[img]/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I'm the kind of person, too, who likes to know what's going on before anything starts - so, college, and thinking about what I wanted to do was hard! Stumbling upon something may actually be best - you never know what's out there until you give yourself the chance to try.

Re: Discouraged
Sorry to hear that you're down. One thing I kind of recommend is getting some people to live in that house with you and use the rent to pay for part of the morgage. The financial obligation of owning a house would drag me into the ground mentally even if I could afford it.
