I've been in school for more than six years. Yes, six years.
After three years in university I decided I need to get out and change my major. All fine and dandy. I decided to go to a community college for three years while working in order to get some foundation classes out of the way.
This year I was accepted into a art school in New York City. Was very excited, but as the semesters went on I found out that the school was not a right choice for me. I have decided to take a year off, as my health has been declining both mentally and physically.
I've been in a rut since then. In my mind I have decided to apply to a school in the City that might be better for me (smaller class sizes, creative freedom) but I can't help but to feel bad that maybe I am just not good enough for school. It honestly hurts me when I go on my social networking websites and see my former classmates talk about how they are doing in class.
Being an older student I have been feeling a lot of an age gap, mentally when I was at school. Also I have heard that when you take time off it's harder to get back into school.
Any experiences with this?
