I went to school for fashion merchandising right outta high school. I loved it but after a semester didn't feel like college was the place for me. I've always wanted to be in fashion, that was always my plan. And I've always been great in school, got a 3.7 after my first year of college. But I changes my mind after that year and am now in beauty school.
I love it and am excited about it, but recently am questioning my decision. I am about 40% done, and really just wanna finish it, but I'm so torn. I had surgery last week and was forced to drop out until I am recovered enough to re enroll, and I keep thinking, well I'm already dropped out, maybe u should go back to college... I loved the campus, town, and all my friends are there. I keep thinking I wanna go into fashion, I wanna have a legit college degree, not do hair forever :( But I don't wanna quit this or go back there just cuz in overthinking stuff and it's not really what I wanna do. Since I've been off for surgery I'm re thinking EVERYTHING. I'm going nuts. My heart and head are both torn. Any advice!?! Thanks. (link)

Life is short. Spend it doing what makes you happy. It sounds like fashion is what makes you happy, so I would suggest you go down that road, especially since you are already a good deal your beauty education anyways.
But you're the only one who can really make the best decision for yourself in the end. Try thinking about this in the long term, rather than short term. Is it really worth it to go back to school? What would you be studying anyway? Would you like that better than fashion? What about all the time and money you've already spent on beauty school?
If you go back to college will you gain more than you have lost in attending and then leaving beauty school?
Try thinking about these question in terms of stability as well as enjoyment. Will you be able to provide for yourself either way? Then pick the one you would enjoy the most. Don't waste your time doing something that doesn't make you happy.
