College dropout that has absolutely 0 idea what to do

I dropped out of college 7 months ago, I had 2 years left in my major and honestly if I didn't feel anxiety every day in that last semester I went in, I would have probably finished it unhappily.

I was multimedia arts major and honestly don't know what I was thinking when I got into it, while I love media I don't have a creative bone in my body, at least not the one for that major.

I started working as soon as I left and I hate the job and field I'm working in, it's finance related and while it's good to try new things I've always known that I don't like it. I just keep working because I don't have anything better to do but my god all I want to do is find something that makes me feel like those firsts 2 years of uni.

I was a CM for my major's social media, I truly loved being in the club that managed it, but it wasn't the marketing part that I loved, I loved knowing that they were a huge mess until I got there.

To be honest, CM was my dream job, I could talk about the stuff I liked and get paid for it. But things changed, I changed, and I couldn't bare being somewhere that meant numbers and growth rather than community, I didn't care about computers and tech, I realised I needed something that made me feel humane.

Right now, I am trying to get 1 year in this job I'm currently am so it is easier to find jobs later on, even if it's in another field. I am doing everything I can not to quit lol.

I wish I knew what to do to help myself but everything seems to be a bad fit for me, but at least I'm not as unhappy as I was while I was trying not to dropout mid semester.

You made a brave step, dropping out because you knew it wasnt for you or wasn't your passion. That took strength. I think it's a great idea to get atleast a year under your belt from this job. I genuinely hope that you can find a new way to move forward and to reugnite your passions 💜🥰
