No! Have fun with your own debt! Thought you could send me straight to college after school without giving me time to truly discover whether I needed it?! Good plan honestly. Shoving it down our throats and then sending us off IMMEDIATELY, knowing it’s, therefore, an effective plan to making kids do JUST that. As we aren’t even given another option to consider. Therefore, supporting your money business.

Oh. However, college is definitely good if you need a degree for the profession you wanna pursue. yeah….

But if you don’t know what you want to do in your life. Pleaseeee for the love of God. Do not. Go to college. At least take a year off and figure yourself out. And realize the ‘more’ in your life. You’ll have plenty of time to self-reflect over the year. This could be a sign for you as tarot was my sign. You don’t need to go to college for the pointless stress and nonsense mythology degree you will never put to use. I suggest finding your passion. Catch yourself before you make the same mistakes that many adults regret. Not giving us any other option as to discover whether or not college is what we need, or even want, is fraud.
In our 12+ years of attending school, we are simply told, to study hard, to get into a good college, to hopefully get a high-paying job. Though they act as though it’s guaranteed if we take that exact route. But it’s not, and some people are left wishing that they took the time to realize their passions before they took out their student loans.

Another intuitive insight story-time:
I was once obsessed with the idea of going to college. But I was also stressed about it way sooner than I should’ve been; as I was already wondering how I was going to be paying the debt afterward. Can you believe that although I wanted to be an entrepreneur, I was planning my schedule to do that AND college? I didn’t even understandddd!! I was going for a mythology degree! I was never going to go into a mythology career! But one day I asked my tarot cards, how my path would look if I took the path of college. I was confused as I got nothing but negativity. No time, burden, and stress, it would say. It simply equaled up to not finishing…. I reluctantly wrote it all down and skipped a lot of info as I didn’t want to believe it. I was confused. I even did another reading, and it was just as bad as the one before. Sometimes, if you’re asking about future potential paths, you won’t understand. A lot of what you hear, read, and see isn’t going to make sense to you. Sometimes it won’t ever make sense; till the time is right. I took my tarot’s advice regardless of how I felt at that moment and started reflecting on its reasons. It slowly started to make more sense to me. I don’t need to struggle to fit my dreams in with the path of college. Just take out the unnecessary bits that aren’t serving you. And that was college. Ha! Stress-free.

One day, I’ll make my own schools, with my own education systems. You’re probably wondering how I’ll do that, because, “you can’t do that”. But you’ll see. The learning is going to be more esoteric. That way people of all ages can learn how to plan for their future in the ultimate way that I did. Can’t wait.
