E 270 I Dropped Out Mid-Semester Here’s What I Wish I’d Known
Description
So many college freshmen hit a wall mid-semester — feeling lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure if they belong. In this episode, I share my personal story of dropping out mid-semester and what I’ve learned from working with students who are living that same experience today.
You’ll learn:
Why the mid-semester slump happens (the “messy middle”)
What students can do when they feel stuck or anxious
How parents can support without rescuing
How to normalize uncertainty and build emotional resilience
Whether you’re a student feeling lost or a parent wondering how to help, this episode will give you hope, perspective, and practical next steps.
