My graduation is delayed again...

...and it's not because of COVID. I have been in this college since 2012 and I should've graduated in 2016. But then I had so many ups and downs (PTSD, Depression, you know the stuff). I have been on and off college since then. And in 2017, when I finally decided to do college properly, everything I have done in my past bit me in the . The minor subjects that I have dropped came at me all at once. I had to take them all but there were days where I got too busy with my majors I wasn't able to go to the minor subjects anymore. So, long story short, I dropped a LOT of minor subjects. It wasn't because I was dumb or anything. I was even an achiever (best thesis, top of my class), but minor subjects just bore the hell out of me because they do not have any connection to my course at all (Nursing). So until last semester, I thought I was only left with two subjects to take. Then, when I was talking to our school today, apparently, professors from last term dropped me even if I explained to them that I had a 7-day school week (all majors and hospital rotations) and I offered to do paperwork instead. The professors agreed but it wasn't until today when I found out they screwed me over. I was supposed to graduate this term but it doesn't seem feasible anymore because of their "restrictions" in taking subjects. So now... instead of graduating in December, I am, once again, delayed. And it hit me so bad. I already started planning the next chapter of my life. I had everything fixed in my head but then I was told that I won't graduate. And I am entering another downward spiral because of it. I know it's my fault for not going to those classes when I had to and I don't have an actual excuse that professors would take (like my grandmother's 80th birthday, my grandfather's funeral that lasted 10 days, then COVID lockdown). But this ing world is cruel and I feel like I want to give up and just drop out of college and idk, maybe kill myself.

Okay, so first of all, you will not kill yourself or drop out. You are near the end, so you will hold on, remember your strength, perseverance and your passion. You will complete this and graduate and then you will gt ready for med school, I know you said that was your post bachelor's masters pursuit. Nothing in this life is easy, not even death. You must remember that and know this is not your fault. This is just life and fate being a . I will keep on cheering you on. I know you got this and will do great as a nurse and future doctor.

I took up Biology in college and had a lot of dropped and failed subjects. It really hurt to see my batchmates graduate ahead of me but I had no one to blame but myself. College records lasts forever and you can't undo it anymore. What matters is you have to finish what you started and go get that diploma. I look back at those dark times and I'm glad that I forced myself to finish college. Don't give up when you're so close to the finish line.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's not easy for you to accept and go through it but you're half done . So I think you should continue and try finished your college if you can .There might be some obstacles and setback but once you hold your degree and graduated , you'l be very proud of yourself and everything will be worth it in the end. Usually things that are hard to get are the most precious and meaningful ones. Don't give up. You can do it.
