Hi everyone👋
I'm new to this but I can't sleep and over thinking things. And was looking for a mature student section.
I'll start by giving you a little background info concerning my ****-uation....So I'm 26yrs old started uni at the age of 22-23yrs young! I was under the impression that I was finishing uni this year, but after speaking to the adminstration team of my course I have come to learn that I will be finishing in 2017! I'll start by saying when I heard the news I throw up😷 AND I never throw up! I failed my second yr due to personal issues and repeated the year. I was doing so well, life was great and got promoted at work and I guess that's when it went down hill. I have only accumulated 135 credits and I need 225 credits to get my degree.I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with myself. I've always found uni hard and at times I feel like I'm getting the hang of things and sometimes I'm just lost. All my friends have graduated and have descent jobs and I'm still here trying to get life in order. I come from a very academic family and ive told EVERYONE that I'm finishing this summer. I'm 26 and 27 very soon and I'm scared to tell my mother that I'm finishing in 2017, at the age of 28 and not this year! The thought makes me sick....I feel like a failure. I'm the first born out of all my siblings and I'm suppose to be setting an example and my younger siblings are doing better than me. I really want to give up and work! But I know that I can probably pull this off if I work hard, DELETE Instagram, just focus and get my ass in the library. When I do study I get ok marks, I must admit...SO....I just need some advise, word of wisdom to motivate me😔 It's all very stressful and I feel ashamed that I have allowed myself to get to this position. I don't know if the majority of the people in here are younger than me or older, but I don't care I need help. Because I feel like ****!😣Thanks in advance x
