I picked up a TAFE Admission guide today. I guess I’ve gotten annoyed to the point of that question, “What are you studying?”
I’m 21, and dropped out of studying when I was 18 because I couldn’t handle it. I was in a four year full time course studying Professional Writing. In the short four months of studying I lost one of my best mates, my Grandma and my Nanna. I was also dealing with an eating disoder. Writing use to be a true passion of mine, but that course killed it. I had all these emotions and idea and I couldn’t even write about them. Instead I was editing essays and creating brochures for bullshit volunteer crap. I ended up having a mental break down, and my Mum really wanted me to pull out and focus on my life and not another work load. Who knew she would be right.
But now I think, I need to get back into it. Not writing though, but either focus on my Web or Graphic design. But I’m a bit confused. I’m not sure if I should go straight into a full time course, or maybe just do a short term course. Then once I’ve done that, get into a full time course at TAFE mid next year. TAFE does offer short courses, but it might be more time wasted…
My parents are really the only ones who don’t make me feel ashamed for dropping out of college. My Mum has changed her career six times, she has never been satisfied with jobs and decides she wants to be something else. My Dad is disabled and is unable to work, so he’s happy to see me working and living fine off my income.
What do you guys think? I graduated school in 2004, it might be a bit too much to jump right back into studying.
I also joined Style Mob yesterday. I browsed around and found a few people I knew. So if you don’t have a friend request from me, add me as a mate. And if you haven’t joined and your a female who just adores fashion. Well simply join, it’s really worth it.
I also fixed up the link section just to your right, if your up there…well I think your blog is spiffy.
