Help Turning life around.

[foreverandever]

I've felt like I'm been spinning my wheels for the last few years. I've accomplished nothing, gotten no closer to my goals, and generally wasted my time. One of the biggest reasons I want to ctb is the fact that I'm 32 and I feel like I've wasted my life.

But, I've made some promises to keep trying, so here I am. I just don't have any clue as to how to start turning my life around.

Some details: I've been working on a bachelor's degree for eight years now, but I only realized I was in the wrong degree for my career, teaching, in the middle of Fall semester last year, (I'm a moron). I only have two semesters left to finish, so I feel obligated to. But I won't even be able to get into the career I want once I am done. I should've been done with all of this years ago. I've also never been in a relationship, and my mental health is abysmal. I don't feel like I have anything to offer the world. Years of effort with nothing to show for it.

Am I too late? Does anyone have any practical advice on how to fix my life?
Thank you.

you say you won't be able to get into the career you want, but how far is it from that? what are the real opportunities you'd have with your degree?

I'd have to go through extra certification that would take another year, on top of the year I have left for my degree. It's a possibility, I'm just tired of being in school and not fully in my career.

Otherwise, there are some other opportunities I could go for, but my field doesn't have a ton of openings outside of teaching. I'm just not sure if it'll work out.

i guess you could just do some years on what you degree allow you to, and then see for yourself if you see it as worthy to do that extra year

Alumina has already given some pretty good advice on the degree part.
As for a relationship - I dunno!
I might be phrasing this a little shittily but my biggest suggestion is to go out into your community and look for events related to things you like, and try to meet people that way. If you can't do that in IRL space, do it online. It may seem hard, but you really gotta persevere with stuff like that.
The thought here is maybe you will make friends with some people, and eventually those friends will become close enough with you that you'll form a relationship with them. All of my long lasting relationships seem to come from people I was once friends with. And all of that may seem daunting, but it's kinda worth it sometimes in the end. I say sometimes because things with friends can be quite variable. If you mess up with one person, keep looking! You'll eventually find people who like you for who you are.
