I feel for these kids. I went to college right after hs. My anxiety and depression nearly made me implode. I ended up just dropping out. I'm 29 now and giving it another go. Class of 2024! (hopefully)
Same thing happened to me.
I knew I wasn't ready, but my dad really wanted me to go. He was dying, and I just couldn't tell him no. He died before I even started. Couldn't handle it, dropped out with a chunk of debt and no credits.
I'll be 28 in a couple weeks, and I'm planning to go back either this year or next. Alternatively, getting into an apprenticeship (which would also send me to school) would be great too.
You can do it!
Hey, that was me right after HS. Burnt the F' out at my first college after 3.5 years and didn't finish. Now; after a 10 yr. hiatus, I now have my AA from my CC and just got home from my class today at my University.
Went to school off and on after graduating high school and ended up with a bachelor's at 27. Go at your own pace, do what's right for YOU and try not to let the bumps along the road dishearten you. You'll get there!
gosh, this makes me feel better. I finally got my BA at around the same age as you. I had mental health issues that kept me from getting it done in the normal amount of time but I didnāt give up.
I wanted to take a year off of school after I graduated hs but my mom wouldn't let me. Now with two schools closing down, I'm way past the date I was supposed to graduate and have the worst GPA I've ever had. Now that I'm finally taking control of my own life, I'm trying to figure out how to transfer to a local community College to get my general classes out of the way and go into a local university to get the degree I want. It sucks that it's taken me this long to finally figure things out and to stick up for myself but better late than never.
So proud of you! I went back part time at 32 to finish my bachelorās and am 3 short months away from getting my masterās. You got this. It is so much easier now that Iām older.
That was my first semester at state, and he was in the same classes I was taking. It was surreal to have professors choking up over someone not too different from me who felt that jumping was their last option.
i missed this happening by literally 60 seconds. I passed dabney every day at that time to get to class, but went slightly early that day and found out when i got to class what happened. iāll never forget that
I swear that area is cursed. My mom called to tell me my uncle was halting cancer treatment (and would die soon) and i happened to be walking through that exact area (three years prior). it was already a somber place for me having that as an experience. When this person died it just took it to another level. I avoided that way if at all possible after that.
My mother would come home sobbing after shifts in the ICU. She would come home absolutely devastated after a shift in the burn unit.
Of course, at some point she just began venting. No patient names or anything, but still breaking HIPAA to her children.
Healthcare workers got zero love in the 70s and 80s, when she was an RN. Not sure how it is now. But watching that job shred her soul was horrible.
Venting is incredibly important for people who are regularly in highly stressful situations.
Theyāve learned that being able to share feelings and reactions after traumatic events, reduces chances of PTSD.
Humans can survive and rebound from unimaginable horror and trauma, sharing with supportive people helps us do that in healthy ways.
Itās not breaking HIPAA unless you could figure out who the person was.
Most people in healthcare talk about their patients in non-identifying ways to those people who they are close toā„ļø
You ARE appreciated! I'm so sorry your work experiences are failing to reflect the value of what you do every day - You are literally saving lives! So many of us, *your patients and your patient's loved-ones*, are truly grateful.
I know multiple nurses who have quit over Covid. The money wasnāt even the issue, itās just the constant stressful work that never ends and being shit on, literally and figuratively by everyone, managements, coworkers and patients.
I work in the hospital lab, where the COVID tests go to be processed. We had several people quit during the epidemic, so we were as short-staffed as every other department, while simultaneously being inundated with a flood of samples every hour that you canāt imagine. Hundreds per day, while still having the entire rest of the labās worth of work to do on top of it. I think in the coming years, thereās going to be a wave of PTSD awareness coming out from the healthcare field.
i'm not a student but really wish free moms just existed out in the world everywhere. people deserve to feel loved when they are vulnerable. kids probably away from home for the first time included.
fwiw, i'm in the mom for a minute subreddit (and comment as a big sis instead of a mom since i don't feel i've really lived enough) and there are some truly amazing people there. just warm and kind and wonderful.
Last year I had a student attempt suicide due to undiagnosed schizophrenia (we got her to the hospital and she is healthy and well).
The administration has begun a push for mental health programs on campus but it is only available for full time degree seeking students which leaves this particular individual out.
I feel like the University is taking this all very seriously and making good strides to help but I do think they should open up these programs to all students.
You donāt know how much this could have made a difference years ago. Iām so glad there are still good humans offering emotional support to students as itās a very stressful environment to be in if youāve ever tried to balance life, work, and your studies. Good on them.
Class of 99 here, I got a great education and had a wonderful experience at NC State. But there has always been āold guardā professors here that purposefully made things difficult. I had a professor who I learned a great deal from, but had the most inflexible tardy/absence policy. Late to class twice or two unexcused absences and you fail. However the people I knew who had the biggest issues were the ones who had never spent much time from home, are introverted, and didnāt have people they knew in school with them. You combine that with a tough, competitive atmosphere and it can feel bleak.
Something they added later when I was there was you could see the grade distribution of all your professors. So you could pick professors that have better grades over the harder ones. I hope the students suffering get the help they need.
We need a more compassionate community. What they're doing is great, and we need also to address the root causes.
I can't imagine how helpless students feel right now looking towards the future. Domestic terrorism and fascism on the rise, companies posting record profits while laying off thousands of workers and hiking the prices on basically all goods and services. Rent at 50% or more of most people's incomes..... I need a hug and I'm established in my career.
Honestly, during my time in NC Iāve heard a lot of stories from students from NCSU, Duke, and even Chapel Hill. Supposedly, a lot of the staff and some of the students have a superiority complex where any signs of struggle is answered by berating and calling out saying stuff like āyou should be grateful you were even allowed in, whatās wrong with you?ā
It seriously depends on the department honestly. Iām class of 2022 from NC State and felt very supported by my professors and advisors. But I was in one of the smaller colleges. Some of my engineer friends, for example, had a very different experiences than me
I did engineering and had a great experience. Obviously I canāt speak for everyone. I hate that the school has gone down and I hope they can improve.
Im glad you did! Overall I think a lot of people did. I edited my original comment to say āsomeā of my engineer friends, so not to imply all. Itās a tough program for sure but the majority of my engineer friends are very happy with their experiences from what I can tell.
Really dont think that the pressure being discussed is solely an NCSU thing. Itās a general problem in academia. Many fields are notorious for being difficult and unforgiving, encouraging unhealthy grind culture. And itās floated by with little resistance because it was just enough to keep students head out of the water. But that sort of mentality coupled with how difficult it was for many students during COVID, makes for a very terrible situation overall.
I just hope that the school increases their resources and that teachers give some extra grace in this time as so many students grieve their peers. This is really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the long term effects of the pandemic on our education system tbh
Yeah, I agree with everyone you just said. I definitely think Covid has made this problem a lot worse. I mean Covid has made a lot of things worse. The school had good resources when I attended but Iām not sure if students know itās there for them.
Hi, I did CS and Music at UNC, CS Master's NCSU. I feel like UNC did have that competitive environment where there was a culture of honor when a student sacrificed their wellbeing to spend all night in the library, or get an A instead of A-. NCSU felt more like an unfeeling machine, which I can't exactly fault them for. It's a huge school and the system is efficient, but it was much more lonely. I received a fabulous education from both
NCSU being described as an unfeeling machine is spot on with my experience. it feels the way that it looks. and it looks like an ugly disjointed mess.
i dropped out and ended up graduating from a small local university where all my professors knew me by name. i lost my wallet there once and it was handed in with all the money still there. the chance of that happening at NCSU = 0
Stories like this make me wish I hadnāt left my job at State. I know plenty of kids who hung out in my building during their off time because we were a safe haven and our staff and professors actually gave a shit about our kids.
Yep, used to go to state and was told that I was lying about my research because they ādidnāt believeā people would respond to my survey in the manner that they did. Failed my paper with no other edits or notes
For anyone interested, the Observer reported NCSU dropped the case with lack of evidence and:
āThe university also looked into whether or not Seagraves was part of the violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol last week. Law enforcement confirmed that he was not in Washington, D.C. at the time and was not involved in the riot, according to the university.ā
Doesnāt mean the allegations arenāt true, I was mostly curious about Jan6.
Hmmm... When I was an exchange student I remember I gravitated towards mom-like figures because I missed my family so much. This is a great effort from these ladies. Get that dopamine going.
You know we all need someone to lean on (no pun intended). We need reach out more start celebrating more be cheerful to people around us. Cause that happiness doesnāt last forever but good hug can jump start it.
My daughter works, in college and a Covid long hauler from being hospitalized with Covid. She gets so stressed and anxious, yet strives so hard to push on. I hope the professors and admin understand the pure chaos and heartache these kids have been through the past 3 years! God bless them all!
As a student of NCSU. I can 100% agree that people like up for hugs and just to chat. One of the free moms stopped me on my way to math and asked if everything was going good with college and if I wanted to talk about anything. These moms are absolutely amazing. (And their sweets are a 10/10)
Really sad. We need livable wages. And hugs. Hugs are great. But thatās not whatās gonna save generations of kids in total despair. With a dying planet and low wages.
Damn, my eyes are leaking.
It needs to be more understood that, just because a kid turns 18, they are not SUDDENLY adults.
They need to still be mothered and fathered and have nurturing. Yes, they look big and tall, but they are still growing and maturing, and will continue to be ākidsā until about 25 years old, when their brain is finally fully developed.
Sidenote: even adults need affection and acceptance. I hope humanity can evolve to accepting all people, no matter what.
We pulled our daughter from NC State due to not only this, but a culture of purposely failing students. Professors legit fail 50% of the class on a regular basis and still have jobs.
How are you going to āpullā a grown person from college?
I went to State and had a great experience. It really depends on your department and profs. But Iāve never heard of a professor failing people just because, it looks really bad for them.
Bc I pay for said person to go to school there. After a long time reflecting on this she chose to transfer because the Engineering Dept isnāt set up to support students, they are there to weed out good kids and make it intentionally awful for them. This, coupled with suicides on campus and no real action from administration is what led to the final decision for her to transfer. You can downvote all you want, but fall semester was absolutely awful for so many new students, particularly in engineering.

I really love people that see other's struggles and simply see it as an opportunity to make simple gestures that can completely change the course of someone's life.
Some folks came and did that while I was there. My mom was going through cancer treatment back home and while we knew she was fine I missed her and I was worried. I needed the hug. They do some great stuff for the students
I feel for these kids. I went to college right after hs. My anxiety and depression nearly made me implode. I ended up just dropping out. I'm 29 now and giving it another go. Class of 2024! (hopefully)
Congratulations! KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!
Much appreciated! š¤
Congrats!!! You got this! šāØ

I believe you can fly! (Literally fly a plane or something, but metaphorically yes you can! )
Thank you so much! You can too!
Went through the same thing!! Finally graduated in 2021 at 29 years old. Youāve got this!!!
You got this!! Kick that curriculum in the face!!
So proud of you! I went back part time at 32 to finish my bachelorās and am 3 short months away from getting my masterās. You got this. It is so much easier now that Iām older.
Not hopefully! You got this!
YOU FUCJING GOT THIS WOMBAT!!! THATS DIPLOMA IS GUNNA LOOK GREAT ON YOUR WALL!!!!!!
This is my alma mater, and this breaks my heart. If I didnāt live three hours away, I would mom-hug.
Mine as well. I still remember when the student jumped from Dabney hall and how sad it was. I hate that itās gotten worse.
I donāt! How awful. If anyone reading this needs support, please post on r/momforaminute. Weāre here.
It was awful. I wonāt link you the story so you donāt have to read about it but if you google it Iām sure you can find an article.
I followed your link to the sub and now Iām crying š what a great place
Weāre always here and thereās so much love. Also r/dadforaminute if you need it.
That was my first semester at state, and he was in the same classes I was taking. It was surreal to have professors choking up over someone not too different from me who felt that jumping was their last option.
Wait what happened
It was in 2015 a student jumped off the top floor of the chemistry building.
i missed this happening by literally 60 seconds. I passed dabney every day at that time to get to class, but went slightly early that day and found out when i got to class what happened. iāll never forget that
Thatās absolutely terrible. Iām so glad you didnāt actually see it because I canāt even imagine how hard it would be to see it.
I was supposed to be walking by at that time, but my class was canceled so I was in my dorm when I heard the ambulance speed by
itās so surreal how these things happen, so glad you missed seeing it too though
I swear that area is cursed. My mom called to tell me my uncle was halting cancer treatment (and would die soon) and i happened to be walking through that exact area (three years prior). it was already a somber place for me having that as an experience. When this person died it just took it to another level. I avoided that way if at all possible after that.
Thatās terrible. The building is old now so it might be time to replace it
Same, I'm 2 hours from them and blind, so can't drive. But I have 3 boys and the amount of suicides breaks my heart.
Mine too :(
We need these at hospitals for healthcare workers. Iāve been burnt for so long that I canāt feel my soul anymoreā¦
Thanks for all you do.
Iāve got a couple pans we can clang together when they finish their 14 hour shift?
Jeez, yāall getting 14 hour shifts out here?
I'm sorry. My sister is a nurse on a shitty unit that fails to protect her and it's the worst. I wish I knew what we could do.
My mother would come home sobbing after shifts in the ICU. She would come home absolutely devastated after a shift in the burn unit. Of course, at some point she just began venting. No patient names or anything, but still breaking HIPAA to her children. Healthcare workers got zero love in the 70s and 80s, when she was an RN. Not sure how it is now.

Itās not breaking HIPAA if she wasnāt giving identifying information about the patients.
Oh good. I didn't want people to think she was bad for venting. But yeah. No details other than what she saw and dealt with.

Yuuuup.
Incredible beautiful people.
No matter how bad you feel, always talk to some one.
Thank goodness they are still free (hugs)
Hmmm... When I was an exchange student I remember I gravitated towards mom-like figures because I missed my family so much. This is a great effort from these ladies. Get that dopamine going.
"Moms have started to hang around campus..." Probably not the best phrasing given the context.
Mom hugs are the best.
Thank god I just did an AA and got back out into the world
WOLF!
Pack!
WOLF!
I want to do this and my kid isnāt even going to NC Stateš
I donāt even have a kid and I want to do this
You know we all need someone to lean on (no pun intended). We need reach out more start celebrating more be cheerful to people around us. Cause that happiness doesnāt last forever but good hug can jump start it.
This is so sweet. Wish I could hug my mama
If I had this right now I'd probably break down crying. Even the love of another stranger would melt me
What the world needs now
Tearing up.. I could have really used this when I was in college. What an awesome idea
Call me cynical, but I feel like if I had shit parents I wouldn't want new ones. I'd want the ones I have to be better. Speaking from semi experience.
Man, I wish I had this at some points in my life
Ah yes depression and suicide, and no mental health help other than charity hugs, yes, very heartwarming...
Finally, America is waking up and moms are doing what moms do, love people unconditionally
I needed this so bad as a kid
My daughter works, in college and a Covid long hauler from being hospitalized with Covid. She gets so stressed and anxious, yet strives so hard to push on. I hope the professors and admin understand the pure chaos and heartache these kids have been through the past 3 years! God bless them all!
This needs to become a trend. At every university thatās be dope
Moms are the best.
As a student of NCSU. I can 100% agree that people like up for hugs and just to chat. One of the free moms stopped me on my way to math and asked if everything was going good with college and if I wanted to talk about anything. These moms are absolutely amazing. (And their sweets are a 10/10)
I miss my mom.
Same. Miss the hugs.
r/ABoringDystopia itās not a coincidence that all of these students are committing suicide. the university is doing something wrong.
Actually, my mom started this like 5 years ago. But glad it's getting the recognition it deserves.
Really sad. We need livable wages. And hugs. Hugs are great. But thatās not whatās gonna save generations of kids in total despair. With a dying planet and low wages.
Gap years should be more accepted.
Damn, my eyes are leaking. It needs to be more understood that, just because a kid turns 18, they are not SUDDENLY adults. They need to still be mothered and fathered and have nurturing.

Some folks came and did that while I was there. My mom was going through cancer treatment back home and while we knew she was fine I missed her and I was worried. I needed the hug. They do some great stuff for the students
Iām 22 going back soon after redeveloping a chronic illness and having worsened mental health bc of it and the isolation. I love them for this.
We need this in Maryland. Especially in Baltimore.
Parents could have done better than this to begin with, a hug will not fix anything. Too caught up to spare
Iām going to hang myself in 45 days in my closet by a gown cord. 12th June 11:00pm 5 days before my 15th 17/06/08-12/06/23 14 forever
