I have had to drop out of school in the past Darkness, there is no shame in taking it up later or never at all. School isn't for everybody. I had finished a year of my degree when I left, but a professor from the program is willing to let me back in and even offered to write a personal note so I don't need to re-apply to the college. I plan to go back in a year and finish the degree. There are lots of people, our age and much older, who finish their degrees later than the norm and that's perfectly fine.

That being said, I encourage you to stay in college and make it through if you can because it may be a pain down the line having to re-apply for college, loans, etc.

As for the female companionship, have you tried online dating before? I've tried it in the past with some success, and some interesting experiences! I'm afraid I don't have any good dating advice, seeing as I met my partner on this very website. You never know where you'll find that special someone.
