<p>I have learned something the very hard way that life is not fair. When I was younger, I would react with anger and it never helped. You have choices, they may not be the best choices in your mind, they may not be the best choices that you could have otherwise had, they are not definitely not the best choices you deserve, but unfortunately they are the only choices you have now. So how do you make the best of it? The first thing is acceptance.</p>
<p>It is easy for me to say, but being angry is not going to get you far. The best choice you have is to get a school where you get a full ride, work while in school so that you have some money for emergencies and go from there. And please realize, the parents on this forum are well meaning and they tell you what they think. mom2collegekids (as well as many of the others who have responded) is an active poster on this site and I have always found her posts and approach well meaning and showing genuine concern.</p>
<p>So if you disagree with people giving you advice, do so politely. After all you asked for advice and suggestions.</p>
