like i know college is supposed to be hard but my goodness this is a bit bonkers. i was explaining to my friend how much i have to do before the end of the semeste, and she said “why would you put yourself through that?” but like…what else am i supposed to do? i don’t know another way! if my professor says write a paper for next week, im writing the paper🤷🏾♀️it’s not my choice to write the paper but it is my choice to do well in school. and everything else that’s piled on me is my choice too. two jobs because school is expensive and rent is expensive and groceries are expensive. and any side project/relevant experience i can get my hands on bc i feel so underprepare. and despite allllll that…i still feel so behind. i feel like no matter what or how much i do, im not doing enough or im not doing the right thing. and i’m just exhausted

I don't try harder at work than I did at school for the money- if they had paid me in school I'd probably still have skipped constantly. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's because I can actually get fired from my job for not doing the basic tasks and showing up, so it's more scary, bigger consequences?
I also felt very stuck in school, I would get distracted so easily and just not be interested in the subject at all. And of course when I was actually interested, I would struggle to complete the technical parts- the homework, tests, and the such.
Now that I have the choice to be in College or to be working, I feel more confident in myself and my ability to get tasks done. However, I still feel undereducated- I skipped a lot of my classes, and the ones that I didn't, I haven't retained any information from them.
I still don't know how to do basic division, I couldn't point out where half the states are on the map, and I couldn't tell you who any of the early presidents were other than Lincoln and Washington.
I feel incompetent and frankly disrespectful towards others for not knowing these basic skills, but now that I'm working as a manager six days a week, I just don't have time to learn. I'm exhausted by the end of the day and really only have the energy to take a shower and go straight to bed.
I'm only 19 which gives me some consolation that I have time, but considering what's happening in the world now, I wish I had more knowledge in current and past issues.
help! ahhh

i'm in community college rn, i had a rough time in high school so i figured id do two catchup/gen ed years before finishing up my degree at a 4 year. we all know its college app season/college result season and oh my god guys i keep seeing these high schoolers shooting for 8% acceptance rate universities and not settling for anything less. like i get it, i do. but am i the only one whos seeing an uptick of kids just applying places just to say they got in ? i feel like i ask a lot of these people about what they want to do/what they're passionate about and why they're majoring in what they're majoring in and they just give me a blank stare. can we PLEASE normalize saving money and taking your time ? you have the rest of your life to work and be miserable paying taxes and pulling your weight at a 9-5. there's literally no shame in community, and I'm so sick and tired of people thinking there is. if you don't know what you want to do, you're allowed to take the time to get there. it's honestly worse to settle on a mediocre major that you don't particularly like just to get your degree faster and say you graduated on time. high school really doesn't give you the time to decide these things so once you reach adulthood it's your responsibility to allocate your time towards it. i really want to see more kids soul searching in a meaningful and responsible way. and if you know what you wanna do and you got into your 8% acceptance rate dream school, more power to you. I'm just saying that seeing a case like that is rare these days and people deserve the time to think and absorb their new responsibilities.
