​feeling kind of lost and/or stuck

@MerciIsScreaming

Hey there! I know for sure how hard it is to get your feelings out there, talk about them, confront the situation even with yourself. So I'm proud of the fact you decided to put this out here even if you didn't know / weren't sure when will someone respond to your thread!

I haven't really understood why you need a new car right now? Making a list of priorities would certainly help you out.

Sounds like you are overhelmed with lots of thoughts! Uhh. I know it's best to win it all and get what you want hehe (we all want that!) but as we both know, winning something means to lose something because you can't (at least most cases) get all those things you want. You need to force yourself to make up your mind and choose which way you go.

Many times, even if it seems like you loose something right now, that thing may come around very soon and it will be an easier choice to make at that later point in time! That being said, there is no point in forcing yourself in not choosing when that means you are also accepting to remain in a position you don't enjoy.

Hope this gives you a bit of perspective. :) Take care!

@cristiana33 I totally forgot to mention why I am searching for a new car (new to me at least, it would be a used car). The car I have now, breaks down often enough to make me paranoid about when it'll break down again.

@MerciIsScreaming What's wrong w/your car? If it can be fixed temporarily until you save up enough money to buy a new one .. Used cars aren't so bad either. I fix the transmissions for businesses that sell used cars and the interior/exterior of the cars are almost brand new. It's just that the parts are not brand new. And since you want to go to school, it would be even better that you buy a used car or fix the one you have now.

@TransAm85 I completely forgot to mention why I am searching for a new car (new to me at least, it would be a used car). The car I have now, breaks down often enough to make me paranoid about when it'll break down again. My dad did just fix it temporarliy last week, so that's good, but you never know when something will go wrong. And technically the school is an online school (so I don't have to drive to a campus and all that).

:)

@MerciIsScreaming An online school is just as well recognized as a regular campus based school, so go for it! Don't go back and forth thinking, "maybe I should wait until next year" or "I can't afford it right now" or "I'm too old" .. Do it now! I kept switching programs from pharmacy tech to barber/cosmetology to auto tech. I didn't finish until I was 28. I kept screwing around and partying and didn't take school so serious also until the end. Now I owe a lot of money for financial aid, but it was worth it. What kind of car do you have? If it keeps breaking down, it could be from something inexpensive like the starter or alternator to the car needing a rebuilt engine. Keep a jumper and some starter fluid in the backseat just in case it breaks down again i guess. Sometimes that works. But don't give up on school. :)

@TransAm85 you have a good point I should just do the schooling as soon as possible (I still need to save up the money for it though).And the car I have is a ford crown victoria, don't get me wrong, it's not a bad car, I love it but its just made me super paranoid lately, and people are recomending that I get a new (used) car.
