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 ❤️
