i dont know about everyone else, but some of you will be graduating college this may, except me. most of my friends will have their degree, except me. to make a long story short i started college but stopped out cuz of personal issues, and recently went back. but im actually dreading the month of may cuz i could have had my degree by then. ive asked God to take this guilt away from me but i cant stop thinking about it. my friends will be in the jobs they trained for, and me, ill still be drifting from job to job for another year. i got laid off months ago and have been rejected by 10 jobs. ill be lucky to get a job cleaning toliets at this rate. anyway if anyone gives a care id like a word of encouragement thanx

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I totally know what you're going through. I, too, am behind most of my friends, education-wise. This May I'll have my Associate's Degree while most of my friends will be just 1 year away from getting their Bachelor's Degrees. And I, too, dropped out of "regular" (i.e., non-community) college because of personal issues. Heck, I'm even having problems getting hired just like you are. What I do is I just remember that tough times don't last and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone has to go through some tough stuff in life, even your friends. I'm sure that even they have some anxiety in their life about graduating, and some of them might even envy you, since you don't have to worry about writing papers and about cramming 100 pages' worth of useless information into your head in a single night. Why don't you try to get together with one of your friends and just talk? That would be a sure-fire way to be able to know that you're not the only one out there who's hating their life right now. Good luck, and I hope you can get to a happier place soon.

The prize, in this case, the diploma, goes to the one who endures. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It took me six years to get a four year degree, five years to get a 3-year Masters, and six years to get a doctorate. There is no shame in going at your own pace. Just keep on keeping on.

I agree with John here. Go at your own pace.
Don't judge yourself on the basis of people around you. You are yourself.. individual. You dont have to do things exactly like someone else.
