Refocused update!! :)

Introduce Yourself

Ok, so some of you know ive been in college, and this semester couldnt focus as well as i did last semester. Since my mother passed away last may i haven't even grieved properly. Ive been staying with my grandmother and helping take care of her but was just informed that she will have to go to assisted living next month. So i have to find a new home and better paying job. Ive decided to drop my classes and take a break until next semester when enroll in cosmetology. Follow my heart. I am taking time to get everything straight and i just wanted to thank those who helped me with some advice when i needed it( Soaring E , and a few others) God bless you and have a Decadent Dready Day! peace

you are also right...i never had chance to mourn..i used my studies to keep me preoccupied but now they are just drowning me..i feel like im doing what the world wants instead of what i need..im afraid if i get out it will set me back. I lost my father at 13 and my gma is being put into a nursing home next month. Im really just going through it and i dont have time to deal with anything. Thank you all so much for your inspiring worda and prayers...i love the website. thanks so much

You are still in mourning even if you do not realize it. If you are able to, take a year off school and go fishing, hang at the beach and reflect. The loss of a mother has so many faucets to it, let the school know that you need the time (semester or year). to deal with your emotions and to get re motivated for your studies. Who knows, in your refection time you may take a different direction in your life. My thoughts will be with you, Peace

Introduce Yourself

When my mom passed away last year i enrolled in college. I was honored to find out that i made the presidents list with a 4.0 gpa.This semester is a different story, although i have all As and one B...i seem to have lost motivation. I am switching majors next semester to cosmetology which is not close to what i am going for right now. I cant seem to get back into gear and focused. Its like i just want to fish or go to the beach all day...ahhh whats wrong with me..any suggestions on how to kill this 'unmotivated bug" i seem to have? i feel like im treading in water...
