Okay I Quit College… Now What??!?


i’m 22 and have been at home working for 2 years. i quit college 2 years ago to follow my dreams, and since it has been harder than i thought to find my “niche” in life… my priorities have changed over those 2 years, and i still haven’t found a solid group of friends who share my views on life.
i have lived in the midwest my whole life and want to move away, preferably out West I.E. california or utah.. yet i don’t know what to do. i am Christian and thought i should just move out there and hope i find friends, but i’m still not sure what to do.. i’m in a pickle and don’t know where to go next in life..
what should i do?

Should I Quit Swim Team?


Here’s the deal:
I started swimming about 4 years ago for a local YMCA team. Not very competitive, but I swam for about a year. I decided I didn’t like competing and quit.
Two years later, in 7th grade, I joined a water polo team. It was really fun, and I considered going back to swim team too. I haven’t gone back to water polo since I changed schools and haven’t been able to find a good team yet– but that’s a whole other story.
Ahemmmm… Anyways, in July 2011, I went back to swim team, this time on a more advanced, competitive swim team. However, I only actually participated in one real meet. I only joined to get in my PE credit. In April of 2012, I quit yet again.
In August 2012, I rejoined, because I really didn’t want to do volleyball, and I had to get in PE time somehow. Now it’s January 2013 and I really want to quit swim team for good once I get in the necessary PE hours. I’m thinking I’d quit in April or May.
See, here’s the thing. I know the story I’ve told above makes me out to be a quitter– Usually, I’m not. I’ve never quit on academics, or music, or anything. However, I’m really NOT an athletic person, and I’ve struggled to find my niche there. I thought I had finally found a talent in swimming (I’m fairly good) but I just keep going back and forth and I need closure.
The thing is, I love the reward you get for being a great swimmer, but I’m not so sure I’m willing to put in the time and commitment it demands. I’m more worried about just keeping healthy than anything else.
I know I need to stick it out at least until April. But… Should I quit? I took a break during December, and I really enjoyed not being on the team. Whenever it’s time for swim team, I get cranky and I wish that I would get sick or break my leg on accident– anything to get out of swim team. Honestly, I can’t remember myself ever TRULY loving swim team. But I feel like my parents would be disappointed in me for quitting. I already had a small talk about it with my mom and she’s been trying to keep me from quitting. She really wants me to swim since she was on a high school swim team a long time ago but has ear problems and can’t swim now. She wants me to swim since she couldn’t. I’m really not sure what she’s thinking and I have no idea what the outcome will be if I do quit.
What should I do?

Should I Quit? What Would You Do?


So I’m on a four year masters program at a uk university . I’m in my fourth year and they send the top students to do our masters in a Harvard affiliated research department – where I have to write a year long thesis. Sounds great – but all it means is I’m in a cubical with a library card and told to get back in 8 month with a thesis, the lack of training is unbelievable. My supervisors to busy to see me I have no idea what I’m doing. I am given no support and expected to do more than the p.h.d students here who get proper training. It feels like the department are like your from another uk in another country – you not our responsibility. and my grade is slipping form a 90% average to a pretty much a fail!! – I have contacted the university (which have abandon us by the way) and having been given the choice: either put up with it or quit.
What annoys me is I’m paying to become a trained scientist not left in a room and forgotten about. I have forced the unis hand and they (if i give the go ahead) can give me my undergrad (batch) degree and I can walk away with my degree intact. I’ll take a few months off and start my masters again at another uk uni in oct/nov 2011 – to do some proper training.
So my question is – what would you do?? I am very angry that the uni has done this to me. I am/was the top student in my year. I’m working 65 hours a week just to get anywhere – I might just as well be sat in a library in the uk with internet access – I get no help. I handed in a draft of the first chapter of my thesis 6 weeks ago – my supervisors not even bothered to pick it up of his desk!!! I don’t know what to do?!
I feel that (if I quit) employers will want to know why and they will automatically assume that it was because I was not able to cope – not that I got no help!!
any advice is welcome. thanks guys. Signed a very desperate grad student 🙁
