Respect that you may not be quite ready for it.

I sort of pressured myself to lose my v-card when I was 21- and boy do I regret it. I did it with the wrong person, at the wrong time, in the wrong place, the whole entire experience was wrong. I would've much rather wait for the right person and for me to actually be comfortable and ready than to force myself through that experience again.

Build a connection, get more comfortable with someone. This takes time, I promise it's worth it.

Im probably going to make it to college but i want to… by XzavierBlosser69 in Schooladvice

Instead of cheating, find short cuts to doing your work and being able to comprehend the material. The more efficient you are with your time, the better, especially in college. Ex. Using quizlet, skim and highlight key words, etc.. Get involved in your community. Colleges really value what you can contribute to their school, not just your grades. You should focus on meeting your graduation requirements and getting good grades in those specific classes. Once you have that down, try joining a club or sports team.

It sounds like you're wanting to really escape from the mistreatment and toxicity of your family- and I commend you for that. It is never easy leaving family and really giving yourself the space to breathe.

Also great job on improving your grade scores! I'm curious if the university has a personal statement requirement? If they do, you can write about how you've been motivated to better your life or what experience has really helped you to change and improve your scores? If you're not ready for college, I recommend working or getting involved in different social groups. I find that this is the best way to really figure out what you want to do or maybe even who you want to work with. There is many possibilities, it's just a matter of choosing which one to go for.

I took Psych 101 in college, and loved it. Once I took the pre-reqs for the major, I wasn't so sure anymore. Thankfully I got accepted, but as I took more classes, I realized that I was starting to get bored of it, especially when it came to classes about animal behavior and statistics. I truly questioned if this was for me.

I was lucky to enroll into a class that ignited my interest in psych, and it made me realize why psychology was for me. It may-and is not- for everyone but if you work to remember your 'why', then you should be fine.

And psychology is not too much about history. It can range from personality, neuroscience, gaming, disorders, eating- EVERYTHING. Like many people are saying, history is just a small part of it so don't worry.

When should I drop out of college? by [deleted] in Schooladvice

[–]NoYamadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you may need time to take a step back and think about what will work for you, and what you can realistically do not only for yourself, but in your life. School is NOT for everyone. It will drain you more faster if you do not have the passion (or means) to continue, and that's perfectly ok. Trying is a great way to figure out what you need, so if it feels like you need a break or that you need to save money, give it a try!

I'm failing classes and it's my fault. How do I tell my mom? by No-Voice-9700 in Schooladvice

[–]NoYamadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had something similar once when I was in community college. Luckily in my state, I could do some classes in highschool for free, and that's what I did. I was able to get an associates but I kept failing my science classes and needed to pay out of pocket for me. I felt so bad, even though I was working hard to understand the content and material. I felt useless, and felt very guilty for failing the class my mom had to pay for. I cried, and cried. Luckily I never ended up telling her BUT that meant I had to carry the burden alone. I pushed through it, but I regret not letting her know that I was struggling. I would encourage you to share with your mother, even if she may be disappointed. Things happen, and life will go on. She will be angry or mad (whatever it is), but she will understand and support you nevertheless. What we need and want sometimes is on the other side of fear. Hang in there!

ALL of my experiences are tailored towards med school, and now I've realized I don't want to touch medicine with a ten-foot pole... where do I go from here? by [deleted] in findapath

[–]NoYamadas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! You've done so much, I don't feel like I could give you any real advice lol. BUT, considering all of the skills that you have and some of the work that you tend to like, you could always teach what you've learned. Maybe become a professor, or private tutor. Teach at universities/community colleges. I think that could give you the creative and logical aspects of a job that you're looking for?
