    Okay so I've been in college since 2012 . I finished school in 2011 I had to repeat my exams as did badly. I went to study a computer course for a year. I realised it wasn't for me, I wasn't sure what else I wanted to do I also knew everyone wanted me to stay . So I jumped straight into business. I went there for half a year during the 2nd semester before I deferring as I'd had no motivation, was feeling unhappy there. This year I'm back 2nd semester I'm going through the same thing unhappy , no motivation , no interest in my course I'm not there for myself more because people want me to stay there. It's mentally destroying me. There's the added pressure to stay in university for jobs etc which is making far worse as I just don't want to be there. I've been putting on this front that I'm am happy on my course no what I'm doing in reality I want to get out of there and not be there. The reason I dropped out last year was only because I wasn't ready to let go of the safety net of college. Now I realise this year it's still not working out, not for me feel it's maybe time to leave for now maybe in the future return just not yet. I made sure to get help in the learning support this year too. I don't have an interest or passion in my course at all .
    What I am interested in is health/fitness/ creative writing.
    I was thinking of quitting pursuing these interests I know these are all tough to get into. Ever since I've been in college all I've missed is writing might go to some workshops before pursuing any course again. I only feel this stressed unhappy in college this does not affect me outside.
    What do I do? do I force myself to stay causing the added build up in pressure whilst making myself unhappy? or just quit follow my passions whilst working part time and see what happens?
