I dropped a class this semester

I decided to drop a class this semester. I tried to make it work, but I found myself staying up until 3-4 am four nights a week. Today, I officially withdrew from the course since I can still get a refund on my tuition. During the day, I take care of my child, and at night, I juggle my work and online studies, which has left me sleep-deprived. It seems that taking more than 7 credits per semester isn’t feasible for me right now—at least not without neglecting my role as a mother. After this semester, I’ll have 20 credits left, which means about three more semesters 😭. I’m not worried, though; I believe I’ll get through this and graduate. I just wish I could be done sooner.

Edit: I took a nap with my little one and woke up to a flood of supportive messages. Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words. They mean a lot to me ❤️

Taking care of yourself is crucial so you can be the best mom and student you can be. It’s great to hear that you’re receiving support from others—that kindness can make all the difference! Just remember, every step you take, even if it feels slower than you’d like, is progress toward your graduation. You’ve got this! ❤️
