dropped out of college

yesterday i decided to finally realize how miserable and depressed i was, and completely withdrew from my university. i am a second semester sophomore, and had been following a major that i knew wasn’t what i wanted to do for the rest of my life. i’ve always been interested in the cosmetology/ esthetician industry and have decided to follow my passion. with a 3.8 GPA, it was rough building up the nerve to tell my parents, but they were surprisingly supportive. i’m taking a few weeks to gather myself and get over this slight “shock” i’m feeling before signing up for the program, but then i’m jumping back into it. i’m scared i’ll take some heat/ negative comments from my other family members since the holidays are coming up, and we’ll all be together. anyways, i just kind of wanted to vent a little bit, but any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
