Without going into too much detail…

  • 21
  • Dropped out of Uni (ie. I’ve started falling behind ‘the pack’)
  • Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
  • Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
  • Not fully settled on a specific career
  • Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.

I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.


Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring

  • I’m a bit older than you, and I know for my age group things are real hit and miss in terms of success and ability to do things. Your age group is just getting fucked. I’m sorry :(

    We don’t have the same level of opportunity the boomers had, or the money, and now all that wealth and power is theirs and they’ve tightened the grip. It’ll take a lot of dying out or a revolution to fix anything, I feel.

    Fwiw, I dropped out and reentered the following year and completed it. From there I just kept building my career and I’m doing pretty well for myself at this point.

    Don’t give up.
