Over the course of my masters degree I have worked my ass off through a lot of life drama and health issues. Tomorrow I have my finals exams - the very last exams of my masters degree, and I'm just - done.

I haven't revised. I've barely done any of the work. I'm going to fail spectacularly. But I'm just - done. And I know I'll live to regret this, but there's just nothing left in me to give.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Mum's job, anon. That sucks absolute balls.

Can you postpone? Get a sick note? A legit one, sounds to me like you have a case for exhaustion....

Unfortunately, my University is bureacratic as all get out. I've already had to postpone the exams once due to pneumonia. If I postpone again I get kicked off the course, regardless of reason.

Yeeeeouch. Maybe just try a *little* reviewing? An hour or so, and an hour or so tomorrow? You might remember more than you think...

Yeah, that's what I'll probably do. Thanks for the advice, anon.

No. You get your ass to that exam. you write something down on that goddamn paper. No matter how bad you fail, at least you finished the goddamn thing (also can you re-take next year?)

Unfortunately I don't have the money to go back again for another Semester. Yep, I'll probably do that. At least then it will be done. Thanks for the mini-pep talk, noodly.

then start saving man. This is potentially the rest of your life. If you gotta take a year off, so be it. Try not to get dumped from the program if you can. Make some confessions, swallow your pride, maybe the time off will do you some good but don't give it all up if you don't have to. You know youreslf you'll regret that later. What you do here and now will determine if it's you hating that time in your life or if you are hating your life forever because of that time.

I appreciate what you're saying, but University in my country is not as flexible as in America. There is no taking a year out and coming back. If you're done you're done.

Honestly, university isn't for everyone. And I wish society and employers were more accepting of that. I'm not saying to give up on your masters since you've come this far and you're in the home stretch. Might as well suck it up and just get it over with. And I understand certain fields require master degrees and BAs, but not everyone is cut out for careers like that and some people just want to open their own small business with no aspirations of becoming huge, just successful in their part of the world. Maybe take a year off, recollect yourself, explore different opportunities, and figure out if what you're pursuing is what you want or maybe there's something else out there you haven't discovered that might be a better fit for you. Either way, good luck.

I wish someone had told me this 40 thousand dollars ago. *sigh* But yeah, if you need to take some time off and have a small dream - that's okay, too, OP.
