Class of 2025 here. My mother officially said she’s not going to help me with paying for college. Kind of. It’s complicated. Anyway, this absolutely sucks, as she had originally promised she was going to pay for the first two years at least, but now I have no idea what […]
Read MoreHow to help my girlfriend who is struggling with college
My gf, who is currently an upper freshman, is really stressed and overwhelmed from her college courses. She is trying to get into nursing school but her grades aren’t doing to hot. I tried to help her with Math (trig) but she doesn’t get the concepts at all no matter […]
Read MoreMy parents don’t think I can survive on my own. It’s making me reconsider my choices.
I (18 F) got accepted into a prestigious college a few months ago. And instead of congratulating me, my parents have been insinuating, for the past few months, that I am incapable of surviving on my own. To be fair, they do have a point. I think I’m probably neurodivergent, […]
Read MoreAbout to fail college and no one in my family knows yet

Read MoreProfessor wrongly grading me
I’ve had an A in this class the entire semester and now the final grades are due today and my professor (who hasn’t put in a single grade since mid terms) gave me a 0 on my final with no explanation bringing my grade down to almost a D. I’ve […]
Read MoreStill Waiting to Feel Like an Adult
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’m in college now, technically an adult, doing adult things (at least on paper), but honestly… I still kind of feel like a kid just going through school. It’s not that I’m completely irresponsible or anything, but I don’t feel like I’ve […]
Read MoreParents are not supportive
I had a 3.857 GPA first semester and a 3.643 second semester- I got really sick and I told my parents that despite this that I still made the dean’s list again and all my dad said was that “oh ur gpa went down.” That was it. No congrats or […]
