Im taking time off from school and Im finding that Im still lost. How do I find my way?

Question

while in school I changed my majors several times. I cant help that I like so many things. Sometimes i feel torn in several different directions so that nothing seems to get done. I was hoping time off would help me step outside the box.

Answer 1

Overwhelmed is the term. So slowly take back control, so relax and breathe, and breathe deeply and breathe again.

Ok, then let's start
1. Take one subject - only 1
2. Decide what you need to do to just pass that one subject.

3. Think about a second subject - only after you feel comfortable about your decision for subject #1.

4. Giver yourself credit for making choices...you have the rest of your life to make good choices...some work and some don't.
Giver yourself room to breathe again.

5. The best thing about school is that it gives you momentum....sorry but the only way to get the momentum back is by going back to the stimulation of teachers, and other students.

6. You may start back with just night school if that works for you. That may kick in your momentum again...and whatever works for you is YOUR choice.

7. Relax and empower yourself to the changes within.

Don't forget to grow inside by spiritual development..again your choice!

Answer 2

Here's a little backwards psychology to try -

Divide a piece of paper in two and list out what types of careers you don't like on the left side. On the right side of the paper, put an opposite (i.e. desk job on one side and "blue collar" (outside) job on the other side)... Include everything you can think of.

Once you've got everything listed, look at the right side of the page. What careers would fit the best to what is listed? Which one can you see yourself doing 10 years from now? The classes you should take are ones that will get you that chosen career.

Answer 3

Learn to love school and school will love you.Be sincere and dedicated in what ever endeavor you are in...Later you will find your way.. We all wanted to reach the goal of success, only we pass the different ways..Some done the short cut and succeed , some pass a long and winding path but still succeed, some don't succeed because they are not focus to what they are doing. Always do your best... A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits...Good luck to you !

Answer 4

go back to school first of all ..the longer you stay away the harder it will be to go back...and none of us i think are ever really sure "what we wanna be when we grow up"...you can be 35 years old and still think that...but that shouldn't lead to frustration but a chance to grow and explore and learn more....go back and take all the things that are mandatory...then work on something you've always dreamed of doing..AND STICK WITH IT!!..and then of course you can take a minor for the 2nd best thing you like......just get that piece of paper at the end that entitles you to a better chance in life for more $$...a better position..and just for the sake of saying YOU DID IT and you knew you could...and plus now you're that much smarter....then you can be like me..and decide that you want to try something even more different and go back and get your Master's degree in something so you're more of a specialist..it just makes you feel sometimes well-rounded...like a smorgasbord

Answer 5

Relax, Just Relax

Relax and just chill

Don't feel that the world is all on your shoulders
Don't feel paranoid
Don't let the stress get you

Go and watch some movies, spend some time with your friends or do anything that makes you feel free

Don't think too much, Ease up a bit

Answer 6

i dropped out of college myself, and it was not the right choice. I would focus on finishing your general education, then afterwords, travel the world or move to Hawaii. Maybe try to fall in love and figure what life is really about.

Answer 7

Go get a job in the field you want to go into, even if it's volunteering, maybe that will help you decide if you really want to be in that field.

Answer 8

Find Jesus
