I’ve been going to college for only a couple months now and I’ve hated it from the start. You see, I moved four hours away from my hometown to live with my fiance who is in the military and decided to attend college here. So far I have no friends and no one in the school has any interest to make any because they go with their high school friends. What I really want to do is get an online career diploma in floral design, which I’ve discussed with my mom and she seems to think it’s absolutely ridiculous. She herself married young(I’m going to be married with my fiance the same age her and my dad were) she started school but then dropped out in the first semester and got a job at a hospital, now she’s going back at the age of 40 and getting her nursing degree, don’t get me wrong it’s admirable but she’s trying to control my life. How do I tell her I need to live my own life, not hers?
tell her just like you did here. tell her that college is not for you now and if they are paying for it then it is just a waste of their money. Tell them if you decide to go to college later then you’ll do it on your own.
FWIW: you may just need a different school. If you’re going to a college where people hang with their HS friends then you’re at too small a school. figure out what you want to do and then pick your school base on what you want to study.
