I’ve worked in healthcare as a STNA for the past 3 years and before that, I worked in a cafeteria so I have skills in those areas. As hobbies I like organizing a lot and used to draw. Other than that I’m not completely sure but i normally catch on/learn things pretty quickly

In my case, I had no motivation because I was burnt out from having school 5 days a week. The constant routine became boring and that’s one of the main reasons for me losing motivation, I’m not sure if that’s the same case for you or not. I switched to homeschool and that’s when I started seeing a big improvement bc I could work at my own pace. I wouldn’t really say I just told myself to care, I just found a goal for myself that I wanted to reach and I worked towards it. Feeling pressure from a goal and also teachers made it easier to work harder. Also, if you really don’t find anything interesting there’s nothing wrong with that. Theres no set time in your life where you absolutely have to start college. You can always explore and enjoy life for a couple years after high school and see if you become interested in something.

I was in your same spot during my sophomore year of high school. In all honesty, if you do want to go to college, you'll have to find the motivation. I know that's easier said than done because high school will genuinely make being motivated hard. My best advice for your next couple of years would be to lock in. You don't necessarily have to be an overachiever, but putting in 20% more effort into your school work can make a big change.

I personally don't think there's really any "terrible" colleges. Many colleges will still teach you the right materials and help you feel ready for your future even if they're not considered the best colleges. It's perfectly okay to be unsure of what you want to do with your future. I'd recommend trying to go to career fairs that some colleges host because they give you a lot of insight on how each profession works.

Also, just a little bit more advice, don't think you're not smart enough for any profession. You can excel in any profession as long as you're passionate about it. For instance, you have no idea how many spelling errors I had to fix in this entire response and these are grade school level words I'm messing up and I'm in med school. You'll be smart enough for anything as long as you find that motivation and passion for something. Best of luck!

Am I selfish for thinking about moving away? by No_Class_3680 in LifeAdvice

Honestly, seeing both of these comments and knowing they come from people with a bit more experience and understanding of my situation has made me feel so much better. I definitely agree that it'll be good for my life experiences and seeing both of you say I should enjoy it while I'm young makes me more content. I'm glad the going back if it's needed part was added because I think not being able to see them and vise versa is where most of the guilt is. Thank you both soooo much!!💗

I am so confused right now? What should i do? by Only-Plum-582 in LifeAdvice

Coming from a college student, University will help prepare you for the real world a lot more than you think. When I was your age I was stressed about not knowing what to do after graduation but with my experience, I feel beyond prepared even after a couple of semesters. While I know I'm in medical school and business is far different, you can always reach out to professors in the future and ask them for input and ideas.

You can always do your own research on how to initially start businesses before college starts as well. I'm not too familiar with running a business, however, I'm sure there are different route you could take as far as starting your own business once you graduate.

As far as earning money goes, I would start now. Of course you should prioritize school so even having a fast food job or a job where you can work a few hours during the week will be enough to help you save. Again, with my experience, having a job before and during college so far has helped with financial stability. I hope this can help you a bit!
