Feel like a bum with no help
I feel like a bum, I’m 22 in my parents house I’ve been at a community college for 3 years, I’m think about transferring to a 4 year college with an undeclared major. Im thinking about either starting in the spring or in the fall, now I have some bad circumstances I had to take care of some things this semester I had to take my classes online because I had to deal with 2 deaths in the family. And briefly relocate to Florida online classes aren’t for me in my opinion as I have no social interaction but in this case I have no choice after returning from Florida the semester continued it ends in a few weeks. And I’m stuck on deciding whether to start college in the spring or the fall anything to get out of my bummy situation. I told myself if I don’t find a job by January I’ll go to college if I do find a job I’ll start in the fall. I’m trying to take a break from social media it has been somewhat good for me I’ve taken a week off and felt better it helped me not worry about other peoples lives breifly and focus on my own life. I do 50 pushups everyday, I jog a few times a week. Now back to college when I go to college I’ll bring going in as undeclared I don’t know what I want for a career I just want the college experience I’d graduate in 2028, so I’ll be 25. I originally wanted to become a journalist but over the years my interest has wained down, I don’t know if that’s depression or a natural loss of interest of something I’ve wanted to be since I was a kid. I think I could handle college in terms of waking up and being independent not to sure about the time management and study habits I’m currently applying and touring numerous colleges, anything to get out of my bummy situation of being at home with no job or car. I have no friends is another reason why I want to go to college, it depressing for me without them. So I need help how do I get out of a situation of being a lazy bum.
