Im terrified of college
I am 30 yrs old and female. I have a dead end job and I know that college is the answer but I get a panic attack when I walk through the front door and never go back. Even the thought of it frightens me to death, any advice??

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
My advice is to go to a community college at night and on weekends. Usually, community colleges are easier academically and financially than 4 year institutions.
While you are there, you can get an Associate's Degree in something business related to open some new doors for your future career.
Please don't be afraid. College is so much easier than it sounds. I have one brother who's a sophomore and one who has graduated, and they both have told me that it's not as difficult as it seems. They weren't scholars either. They took average classes in high school and got average grades, so if they can handle it, anyone can. ;]
Good luck! And stick with it.
I forgot to mention that my mom sounds just like you. She dropped out of college when she got married. She got divorced 5 years later after having me. She then went back to college at night while working full time and now has a Bachelor's Degree. She has never felt more proud of herself.
I strongly urge you to go back to college. There are websites that college people go to, and they explain how certain teachers are (if a teacher is easy, hard, gives lots of tests, assigns no homework, etc.). I recommend using ratemyprofessors.com.
Good luck!

As someone who went back to college in my mid twenties and I was scared shitless!! Your best bet is to bite the bullet and do it, once you are in classes and making friends you'll do fine, and I have never regreted it, not for a nano second and even now at 31 am trying to figure a way to go back for a higher degree!
HOH

I remember being like that when I first began high school (I haven't made it to college yet).All I can tell you is to just kind of suck it up and go.Even if it seems bad at first,it will most definitely get better.There is honestly nothing to be afraid of.You just have to go into it with a positive mentality,and things will be good for you.
