Sorry, this is one long rant that I just need to dump out there. Honestly, I think I would enjoy hearing different perspectives on it because I'm pretty sure I thought about each one many times.

I want to leave both the college campuses I'm attending. I never really liked school anyways and never really knew where I wanted to go. Currently, I am finishing up an Associate of Science in Architectural Design and Construction Technology but I just...can't get over the fact that I screwed up?
I failed a few classes and went through the whole Academic Probation after suspension s**t.

Yeah, I should have been graduating by now with a bachelor's but I would only have an AA and an AS. My parents remind me of this a lot and it's frustrating. I really don't feel like I should even be complaining about this at all but it bothers me a lot.

Oh and the reason why I left my "part-time" job is because I never really had time for myself. I would constantly get into arguments with my family, especially my twin sister, and friends about not spending enough time on...everything - homework, family time, hanging out with friends, chores, etc.

Actually, there is a part of me that regrets leaving because I met a lot of people who deserved the job more than I did (that's my POV)...and I enjoyed working with them. BUT I didn't like the work it entailed....sandwich making and the like.

So a year later, I got the balls to leave. It was hard but I worked my magic and convinced my parents that it was necessary to leave. My excuse was that I wanted to build on my architectural portfolio (because I do)...but the hidden motive was that I wanted to start selling jewelry and art with my twin sister....

But of course, my parents - especially my mom - are opposed to it.

My suggestion would be to bite the bullet and get done with school. Hopefully you will be able to get a job that pays decent through that and if your almost done, theres less point in dropping out now. as for the jewelry making, you can always do that on the side when you have time, the internet has done wonders for small side businesses like that.

For me, Im a theatre carpenter in college, I want to be a director so right now Im just sucking it up, trying to graduate and moving on to stage management where I can fight my way to where I want to be. Unfortunately things dont always work out as easily as we like, but all we can do is push forward until we reach a place we are satisfied with.
