college

Shy shannon

hi everyone, haven't talked on here for a bit, but wanted to come say hi. 

is anyone aged 20+ and wants to go college because they didn't do much of it when they were supposed to? 

I went to a animal course for level 1 and completed it but then level 2 came and I stopped going because of my anxiety. but now being 21 years old, I would love to go back and complete my level 2. but my anxiety, depression and now on the waitlist for autism is still bad. I think I can do it. but I don't want to fall into a hole again. 

what do yous think ??? 

thank you :)

  • I went to uni straight from school but didn’t do very well. I don’t think anyone (myself included)realised that I’d need extra support until it was too late (I did pretty well at school) I also hated some of the 2nd and 3rd year modules so had little motivation for them. I did another degree through work which I started at the age of 26 and excelled at it due to finding it more interesting and having more support around me from my colleagues. (There was also the added motivation of a sizeable promotion at the end of it!) If you find a subject you really enjoy  that will help, also as others have said try and identify triggers for your anxiety and ask how they can help you overcome them. Colleges and universities should all have SEN and disability support departments
