Should I Continue College or Withdraw for a While

Thank you guys for replying! I am actually going to do summer classes here while also doing therapy. Doing therapy is not something I want my parents to know, which is why school is also a good excuse. I am also at keeping up with classes during the summer for some reason.

Yes, it is finals time, but this isn’t the only time I’ve been thinking about leaving for a bit. I’m just not good at school anymore. I used to be a physics and astronomy double major, but right after high school, I decided to take the maximum amount of hours with advanced classes which ended burning me out. I changed majors at the end of my sophomore year to geography, which I enjoy a lot. I chose this major because it had a couple classes in the concentration I like, but I have to go to grad school to actually get the experience.

It’s hard for me to get up and do things, even with courses I REALLY enjoy and find interesting. Like I said before, I have failed classes and gotten many C’s before I changed my major, and I am planning to retake the ones that I may need for grad school to show that I’m trying… but if I do this, I may have to stay an extra semester… maybe just the summer… if I want my grades to pick up. Or I can just do what I need and stick with a bad GPA when I graduate. I don’t think I can stay an extra semester here though

Yes I study and do horribly, and sometimes I can’t even understand what goes in class, which makes studying more time consuming. I just want to graduate so I can start learning all I can about what I like, but I can’t get there with a bad GPA… but also I don’t think I can handle being here more than I have to.
