But What If I Don't WANT To Go To College? - May 12th 2012, 12:35 AM

I am mentally ill. There's no denying this fact, and while I may not be alone as there are millions of others on college campuses, fact is that they likely suffer from a stress-induced depression or some other depressive disorder whereas mine is a trauma disorder that makes it extremely difficult to retain information.. especially in stressful environments. Staying true to all mental illnesses, it renders me with little motivation and energy as well.
With this being said, what's the point of me trying to pay my way through college? Never mind how, but why? I don't really want it. My brain is already full to bursting, and I have more than enough stress. I don't want this to be expected of me. I want to do what I want, not live for the expectations of others. Not having a degree doesn't make me stupid.


I am not alone- not beaten down just yet.. I am not afraid of the voices in my head. Down the darkest road, something follows me! I am not alone.. 'Cause misery loves my company!
