Help!!! Any university goers in here?

I am about to transfer to a university next month. I graduated community college and decided to take summer off before takin on the university experience. Unfortunately, I broke up a seven year relationship with my girl. I think my whole world is collapsed. Right now, I feel like giving up on everything. I am afraid to go to school and fail everything. (I don’t balme her, really.) Any one out there going to school and facing a tough challenge?

You have a failed relationship and a successful educational career. If you were a baseball player, you would be batting 500 right now. The only thing you can always change in life is your attitude. Learn from the relationship, and get back into school. When you counsel students in the future, warn them about graduating from Community college before they transfer to University if they are trying to get loans and Pell Grants. Once you have any kind of degree, this gets problematic. You can transfer credits without the degree and you can go back and apply for the degree once you get your bachelors. (if it is an issue with you)

Hopefully this is not an issue in you case, but in any case, forewarned is forearmed. As soon as you register, get into counseling. It’s a great way to assess your goals and get rid of any excess baggage you might be carrying with you, before you go on to your next big challenge. Once you have any kind of success under your belt however, keep going. It is really easy for entropy to set in, and four times harder to get back into motion once you stop. The longer you rest, the harder it is to pick it back up as well, and some colleges change their program requirements in the meantime which puts you even farther behind.

Hope this helps. I’m glad to see that you are not blaming your significant other. It’s really better to have lots of casual friends during your educational career. Heavy duty relationships can often do you in if they aren’t perfectly balanced. With the requirements of college, they often can’t be.

I graduated from undergrad, but I can still offer you some advice. As soon as you start college, get involved in a club/organization. Stay as busy as possible to help you focus on the present and not the past. The time will fly by quickly, but you want to approach it with a good attitude. Get yourself psyched up for your new life.

When you get there, focus on studying, learning new things and meeting new people to help you get over your girlfriend. You can start researching clubs, etc. online this semester by going to your college website. Learn something new – you can join the rowing club, the college newspaper or radio, etc. Keep abreast with what’s going on around you – read the flyers, study at the student center, etc. Anything to expand your horizons, help you grow and allow you to make the most of your college experience. If you’re having problems, make an appointment with the counseling center. Work out, eat well and try to feel your best. Good luck.

And no, your world hasn’t collapsed and life isn’t over, it just feels like it is now, but in time, things really and truly do get better. Just focus as much as you can on moving forward and growing.

I cannot really offer you any advice–I have never been in a long relationship, and I’m just going to college for the first time myself. But I wish you good luck!

You’ll eventually “get over” the relationship, but that could take a long time. I guess I’d suggest that you keep busy when at college, and talk to someone about this when you feel ready to talk.

Getting into a new environment is the best thing for you right now.

The last thing you should be doing is dwelling on the past. Take that passion and apply it to school and you will excel and be successful.

Your happiness will follow.

Plus, dude, there are more women than men in four year universities these days. You will meet many new girls.

going to a university can be a great new start for you. it truly is the place to branch out and experience new things and learn more about yourself through the classes you take and the new people you will meet and interact with. I think it’s going to be a new beginning for you. you should look at it as a blessing because it will help you stay focused and work hard, rather than making things more difficult for you.

go in there with the right attitude and willingness to work hard and stay motivated and you will be fine. 🙂

it incredibly is what Paul talked approximately as being swayed with the help of the philosophies of adult males. Peer stress is likewise in contact. If he hung with a crowd of unbelievers, then he’d be companies to bypass alongside with the team, incredibly much like stunning, sparkling young ones who initiate surprising out with druggies tend to fall into a similar habit or the different variety of character replace that takes place to someone whilst they get entangled in a team. If training on my own is the reason then clarify the enormously knowledgeable believers.

Don’t forget that your new university will have a support system in place. If things become really rough in your personal life and it spills over to your academic performance, there are ways the school can help you through and protect your academic record.
