i didnt but i should have. i ended up doing 7 years and coming out of it with a degree i dont want and cant use.
i shouldve dropped out as soon as i realized i didnt know what the fuck i wanted to do. then gone back later on when i figured it out. i dont think they should act like college is an expectated immediate next step for high school kids. if you dont know what you want to do, it's much better to take a year or two to figure it out than it is to rush into college because you're "supposed to".

Ran out of art classes I was interested in taking at community college, plus no more money.

6 years in, hoping, praying that I finally graduate … your post resonates with me.
In hindsight all these years at university have only taught me that I should have made a conscious choice over what to do with my future or at least over what to study
I mean at least I can tell myself many jobs require a degree even when it's unrelated

I unexpectedly failed CSC480 my last semester but Microsoft had already recruited me in the Fall and I couldn't be in Arizona to retake the class and in Washington at the same time so I just never finished my degree

It was mind-numbingly boring
which is crazy, because I was able to get a bachelor's no issue, but my god I just couldn't muster the willpower to do a single class for my master's class. Probably doesn't help that it's basically just a repeat of everything i did in my bachelor's without any added depth or elaboration. I think I just have perma-senioritis or something.

Dropped from university bc of too much stress of studying for so many classes, most of which were irrelevant to the degree i wanted. was only taking those classes because they were necessary for any degree at all.

Decided to try out community College instead and I'm really glad I did. I take 1 class at a time and it's only stuff I'm interested in learning about. I dont have a degree. Instead, I got a cert, which helped me get a nice job.

Is there any fucking point to this? Or should I just give up? I probably won't be able to even afford to get a bachelor's at this point.

Tuition alone was 10k a year and I wanted to go to school for something else. I decided to drop out to avoid an extra 20k+ of debt.
