Honestly, if college makes you miserable, then I say dropping out is valid. YOU should come first before anything else. Take time for yourself-if you decide to go back, cool. If you don’t, also valid. I know this is easier said than done, and it’s scary af. But you may be saving your mind from a lot of pain and stress.

I feel like there’s this constant pressure from society that we HAVE to go to college when it really isn’t the case. College isn’t for everyone and you will find your path. If you aren’t feeling your best while in college, you will be making one of the best decisions of your life by doing so. Just because you didn’t go to college does not mean you can’t be successful.
