College and other woes

AfterLyfe · Feb 5, 2011

Ya I know I post here a lot, its kind of a dramatic part in my life.

Let me just start off... the college I am going to is horrible. I am not learning anything, and I know I am never going to make it anywhere in my life under it.

I have strived to be a web designer for about 4 years now but waited until college to actually learn anything.

Here is the college I REALLY been wanting to go to... www.fullsail.edu. I honestly don't think I will ever be happy knowing I did not give it a shot if I do not try it.

I have aunts that live in the area and such.

To be honest I would love just to finish the semester I am on right now and move to being independent and go for it. I am worried that financial aid won't cover tuition and books though, and I will not be able to have a job or anything while at this college (its a 10 hour on campus a day college).

I know there are a lot of problems doing this, switching independent from dependent, can anyone offer advice? Do's or do nots. Or even support.....

The number one problem is not being able to afford it while I am in college. I am confident in my ability to get a job once I am out.

Ugh its just so stressful....

I understand what you mean.
I never tried hard in high school and it hurt me.

I go to a community college, and it's been great for me.
Getting me to get my priorities straight..
Less chance of getting distracted by parties and stuff.

IMO if your college isn't what you want..
Try going to a near community college to transfer to the other college you want to go to.

It's not all that bad..
Also community colleges are usually cheaper..

So it helps you get on your feet as an independent.

If you don't like where you are now and won't be able to go where you want to because of financial problems, why don't you just drop out of your current school now and start working to earn the money early?
