Other people: I’m so much happier working than I was in school. I hated papers, like when am I ever going to write a paper ever again?

Me, who graduated university just to basically write papers for the rest of my life:

The Student/Witch Dilemma

I want to skip the bullshit, skip university, start manifesting more easily, focus on creativity (not anxiety and schoolwork), and be as witchy as I can imagine!!!! 

There’s also the huge part of me that literally has a crippling fear of working for someone someday. I want to get my degree so I can work for myself (although I’m not a Business/Entrepreneur major, instead I’m a Comm. major). I want to write/vlog about being a witch, I want to represent paganism in a postive light so that more people will actually know what it is, instead of the totally wrong stereotypes that are out there about witchcraft/paganism. I eventually want to educate people on a lot of minority religions that the general public misunderstands. I also want to be an activist for the LGBTQIA+ community. 

Yet, there’s the practical route, the one I’m on right now. Staying in school, chunking out a ton of cash, attaining a more traditional education for all it’s worth, with all it’s drawbacks (lack of creativity in achieving it, the major cost). Deep inside I can’t help but think that this isn’t what I actually want, I could be doing way more productive things with my time, only this was the only escape out of my hometown (there’s so much wrong with my hometown that I won’t even start ranting about that), this was the only way I could move out with my parents still supporting me. 

It’s not the academics that are depleting or challenging, they are really neither of those things. It’s the atmosphere, it’s the voice in my gut that’s screaming that if I got a job now, if I wasn’t in student housing, if I dropped out completely, I could be doing more creative/spiritual/influential things with my time. I could be building a following, actually meeting people who are like-minded, not just randos that I’m only around now because we chose to go to the same school. For what I want to do (work with the internet/social media, be a spiritual person, be an influencer), a degree is totally not required. There’s a part of me that feels that being here is delaying my actually being productive at things that would make me stand out more in my field than having a degree ever would. The huge downfall to that is that my only other alternative is going back to my dreadful hometown until I got enough money to get the hel out for good (which would take at least a year, probably more with the min wage vs the cost of living in the places I’d want to live).

I long to be a consistent, good YouTuber (and Tumblr Blogger), but as far as YouTube goes, I have decent equipment (a DSLR camera that’s several years old, a great mic, ok video editing software), but a) I hate my voice (I grew up in the South, in Appalachia, so I have a ‘country’ accent that I truly hate), and b) I’m no good on camera (I know, the more you do it, the better you get, but I don’t want videos floating around of me being super awkward on the internet)… I keep promising myself that someday I’ll start. I just can’t seem to find the time/energy (especially with my fatigue) or the courage to do it. I secretly hope that once I start, I’ll pick up enough of a following and my content will be sponser/advertiser friendly enough so that I can drop out and build my brand on social media. I’m predicting that even once now-famous YouTubers ‘age out’ of YouTube, they’ll have their whole brand and channel to serve as credientals in the business/communications industries, so they won’t need to go back to school, if I became successful enough on YouTube, this would happen to me too.
