I had to drop a college course, and I feel like a loser

You don’t need college for art. Make art and post it online for sale. Learning how to create is the antithesis of creation - let the failure fuel you. If you feel anxious or depressed that’s the universe giving you fuel; immediately jump into an activity (like art) and start DOING.

At least you're not 100k in debt with a useless degree such as liberal arts which is just lessons on how to think instead of being encouraged to make up your own mind

" Reading good books basically does to you what stupid people think going to college does to them."

You place a lot of value on college. Lots of ways to be happy without it. I'd suggest a trade for your income, and find a hobby that you enjoy :)

Is graphic design your passion? What do you really want to do?

Fuck college.

Get into a trade now. Accept minimum wage and bust your ass off

You will become more experienced. You will be able to charge more for your services.

If I had to do it all over, I would just join the first trade that accepted me, and start getting my hands dirty. Becareful of automotive due to the high investment cost

If I were you I'd drop school completely unless its to get trade certified. Construction, tile setter, painter, dump truck driver, plumber, electrical, glass installer, welder.

Accept the reality that you have to start at the bottom. Find someone to apprentice under and don't be a lazy loser.

Have you thought about internet courses? Normally you can go at your own pace as long as you don't make years to complete courses.

I never liked school ether got pressured into going. I was a great student tho worked hard turned in work early. I was crushing every class but math my math is horrible pass division. college classes move pretty fast and it took me a while to grasp the concepts to the more advanced math classes so I fell behind it end up having to drop the class as not to affect my GPA. Eventually the math became too stressful and annoying and I needed it to finish what I was in school for so I just stopped going and started doing i.t classes for free online which is something I prefer since I have a

I thought going to college would help me figure things out, but it ultimately made me even more confused and lost.

Art may or may not be the right track for you but it's not magic, man. You actually have to put the work in and not ignore it / procrastinate. The only reason you shouldn't get an A in a class like that is if you just flat out didn't do the work which is more indicative of the problem to me than the course material. If you're expecting anything in your life to change just by signing up you're going to have a bad time. You've got to learn to apply yourself, college or not.

I heard this somewhere on the internet " There's no great art. There's only great marketing"

Can't beat being in a trade, it took me about 3 years to hit the 6 figure mark, no college, just a Military and communications background. Got into construction project management

Get checked out for ADHD and other learning disabilities

Why are you paying for a degree in design? Start practicing design. Build a portfolio and send it to prospective employers. Get your foot in the door and tell them you decided not to get a degree so that you could focus less on theory and more on craft.
