Last summer, I moved out of my house and my boyfriend and I got our own apartment. I really feel like things are starting to fall into place for me, but I’m worried about college. Aside from feeling obligated to help pay for my twin sister to go as well, I have bills to take care of and other things to worry about. I don’t want to worry about tuition on top of that. I’m a waitress, so I don’t make enough for two people to go to school anyways. I lost all motivation when I got in the real world anyways. Not going to college is not an option for me. I live in a town of less than 2,000 people and everyone here is either on drugs, or a redneck. I’m originally from KCMO, so I can definitely see past this small town stuff. I don’t plan on being a waitress my whole life, and I’d like to eventually major in CAD. I just feel like taking a year off after I graduate HS will be the best thing for me. Thoughts?
I’m sorry I don’t have any advice, but you might also want to post this in the parent forum. The people there tend to give very good advice and have had exposure to many situations.
