I’m a senior who’s 21 years old. I will be 22 in July. I today found out I have to retake two college classes. And it sucks because I see on social media where some of my classmates that I graduated with in high school graduated college this spring. They got their bachelors and are moving on. I feel left behind because now I have to wait until the fall. I just hate the thought of being the last person to do something. It’s the worst feeling. I have to wait 7 months. I have never been good in school! I have always struggled. But it seems so easy for others. I hate the feeling.
I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I’m about to go back to finish 5 years later.
Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn’t any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.
Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.
