Where do I even begin to start to get my life on track?
I haven't decided on anything I want to do in my life. I'm unsure about anything and having a hard time making any type of life altering decisions.
How would I be satisfied?
Hi, I’m a freshman in high school. Time is strange to me, this year had gone by fast. I will be in tenth grade next year and it’s scary. I mean I have no goals while everyone is running ahead already. I don’t even think I will make it to college. What happens after that? What if I’m just going to waste my time and end up with student debt? Being an adult seems hard enough. It’s stupid but I’m scared to grow up. We all probably thought of that but how do I go to the right path? That’s a worry for me because I don’t want to mess up my life. I don’t want to fall behind or be unsuccessful. I’m afraid that because of my indecisiveness and bad communication skills everything will go wrong. I mean I can’t even hold a good conversation with someone, or know what to say. It’s bad for me. And I understand that’s a key skill in being successful. The only thing I’m decent at is art. Like, I usually like art but what if I just end up drawing in a studio 24/7 for the rest of my life with a low pay? I don’t want that. But I also don’t want to end up jobless. I’m slowly beginning to lose motivation in art as well. I’ve been drawing for years and haven’t been improving. Everyday feels the same to me, this might as well be what it’s like for the rest of my life. I feel it’s pointless to even try because nothing will satisfy me. I’m already losing my youth to a virus and many opportunities, I have no motivation. I’m frustrated because one gives me useful advice, no one really cares except for their own problems. So please, I don’t know what to do. #help #scared

How much student loans can I take with a mechanical engineering starting salary
I am a mechanical engineering sophomore and I recently learned my parent can only contribute about 5% of my college finances. What is an affordable, realistic amount I can take out in student loans so I don't drown in student debt? For more information, I live in New Jersey and my dream job would be located in the New York City area. Thanks. #debt #student-debt #scared #money #loans #financial-aid #engineer #engineering #mechanical-engineering
What steps can I take to make college affordable?

Will going to a community college before university help someone from a rural community adjust to city life.
I live in a very rural community with a population of 420 people. My highschool only has 12 people and I think going to a smaller community college will help me become accustomed to being around thousands of people. #rural #scared
How do I know if I'm doing the right thing?
I've known that I wanted to be a nurse for a while now. I truly believe that it is my calling. But the "what if's" are making me doubt everything. What if I'm a terrible nurse, what if I mess up and ruin my career, what if I can't do it? Just wondering if anyone has ever been where I am now. #college #pediatric-nursing #nursing #scared
How to deal with racial discrimination in college and future career?
I am excited about beginning the second quarter of my life, however, the aching fear is always scratching my back. I am scared to go to many places because I do not want to deal with racism but I know I have to encounter it one day. I know my first reaction will be to cry but I want to be able to deal with these things maturely. #race-discrimination #future #scared #helping #college-advice #personal-development
