should i drop 2 classes to move into my scrim team's gaming house this fall?
ok so my team (Vantage Point, we play comp valorant) just got invited by an org to move into their gaming house for the fall qualifier grind. free housing, better scrims, actual shot at getting picked up by a paid roster next year. problem is i'd have to drop 2 classes to make the schedule work which puts me under full time and my financial aid (about $3800/semester) gets pulled. i'm a junior, already behind bc of a switched major, so this pushes graduation back a whole year probably. my parents would flip if they knew i was even considering it, they think esports is a phase lol. coach says if i don't commit now someone else takes my slot, no guarantees they ask again. my girlfriend (20F) is already stressed bc long distance is hard enough with my current schedule, and the house would mean scrims run til 1-2am most nights so even less time for calls. part of me knows this is probably my only real window before i age out of being competitive at this level. the other part knows i could blow a year and lose aid for nothing if we don't even make it out of qualifiers. my roommate thinks i'm insane for even thinking about it, my teammates are hyping it up in our discord like it's a done deal already. i keep going back and forth every hour lol someone just tell me what to do 馃槫馃幃
