Is it even worth going back?

Hello all,

I was just looking for some guidance on where to go from here or what would you do in my situation.

For some context, I started in 2018 as a HSCI major, transferred to Biology in my third year. I made it through the hell that was online schooling during COVID but due to personal health and safety reasons had leave school in the spring of 2022.

I’ve essentially done 4 years as a full-time student, but due to course selection conflicts, not being able to get into my core courses and maybe some personal mismanagement of the whole deal, I’m standing with ~60 credits, but missing a handful of core courses that would have allowed me to move up into my 300-400 level courses.

It would probably take me 2 semesters to finish all of these just to get started on my upper levels. I’m just not enthralled with the idea of taking another 3-4 years to finish. I feel like I worked for all that time to basically have barely a second year standing academic wise and it’s mildly frustrating.

I would love to hear from y’all as to what you guys would do, or if any of you have been in this position and how you guys worked up the courage to push through and finish.
