I HATE COLLEGE WHAT SHOULD I DO PLEASE HELP!?

Your biggest problem is that you are commuting to school. 40minutes there and back is too far. This is why most four year colleges require freshman to live on campus.

List out your options.

can you withdraw from this semester without loosing money or getting F's in any classes? IF no try to stick out the semester. I drove that far to my CC. but I got involved with drama and the radio station on campus. It helped me to meet people and have a place to hang out at on campus. Go to the counseling center at school. They are there to help you. Go to the tutoring center at school. get help with academics.

My son took time off from school. Getting a job doesn't mean quitting school for ever. You may try working and taking just one class at your community college.

Look into other schools. Look into going to a CC or going to a four year college and living on campus. Check out two year career programs at your CC. You do have options.

My son had a long haul with college. He is still finishing up his bachelor degree at 25. But better to be 26 with a degree, than 26 and without one.

You sound like me when I was your age.

I would say that you should finish this semester. Get a summer job, then decide if you want to stay at the job or go back to school. You can always go back to school later if you want.

In the mean time, check to see if the campus has any Gay related groups that has meetings you can attend. They didn't when I was in school in the 70's, but many do now. You may find that your school has some resources that can help you. Maybe there is a chaplin or counselor you can ask about this, but I would think that your school's web page may have a list of all student activities.

School isn't right for everyone. It wasn't right for me at that age but worked better when I was older. Still, don't give up on it. A Gay group, either on campus or in town, would be a great resource for you. Have you asked a PFLAG chapter for resources?

Just so you know you get jobs a lot faster with a degree. your still young to. Most businesses require some kind of degree unless you go in the construction industry or become a trash man or work at a fast food place. Suck it up and finish your degree. If you don't feel comfortable on campus go to your social services and see if they will put you in their job corp program. Its for teens to early 20's. they pay your training and find you a job. but while doing that ask your campus if they have online courses so you can continue your degree. It will be smartest thing you'll do. I regret not having my degree and now I am taking online courses for a degree in criminal justice. I wish you the best.

Going to work, especially without a degree is even worse.

But really you need some professional counseling to help you figure out what you really want to do and then if university is not it, you should do it.

But going to work every day at a minimum wage job is even less of a joy.

As well come out of the closet. In LA, essentially no one cares if you are gay. The world never cared when I came out in LA as a Male to Female transsexual. When it comes to a place to be gay, in LA you are in a place as close to Candyland as there ever was. I know many gay people in LA and for all of them, their biggest regret was not coming out sooner.

It is a trauma to come out but once it is over you will feel better about yourself. Your parents may be a different story if they are deeply religious but it is your life.

The cup of life is passed around the table but once. Drink deeply the sweet wine of life and enjoy your brief time in the sun.

Move to Sanfrancisco, CA and go to a different college near there. You will be much more accepted and find it easier to find partners so you won't be so lonely. Stop being who you think other people expect you to be (Parents, Friends, Siblings) and be who you want to be! Also never be ashamed of any decisions you make. Life is all about making good ones and bad ones so just make those decisions with confidence and above all have fun!

Do both - apply for a job and find courses at the open university that interest you

Drop out immediately. You're just taking up space that someone else could use.

study things you enjoy.

find a friend.
