<p>So I graduated from high school in spring of 2014, I graduated with 36 credits I could put toward my degree at my local community college. I thought hey that would be a great idea get a head start at community college. I absolutely hate it. I'm currently enrolled as a full time student there. I mainly did this as 1. I haven't had to pay anything for the first semester this year and have all my experiences covered for next term as wel, 2. My parent's didn't want to send me off to a four year school as they are very clingy. So I have all these credits about 50 now, sadly only 10-12 of those will transfer as I took a couple of gen eds this semester ( 3 out of my 5 classes were gen ed). So I'm stuck as I've dreaded going to class every day this term. I'm currently living at home as well, and that sucks on a whole different level. College is supposed to be a time for a student to mature, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and become more independent. I've seen about a 10% increase from that list from when I was a senior. Mainly as if I make any mistakes, my parents will ground me take away social things. So I'm doing everything I possibly can so they can't take away the limited aspects of a social life I have as this college has little to no activities. I have to be home every night for dinner and my mom is always making it so i have no responsibility there. I have no freedom as I have to let my parents know where I'm going and when I'll be home, kinda sucks, my friends who are seniors don't have to do this. I'm stuck as I don't know where to go from here. If I try to bring up the subject with my parents they get mad at me and kinda change the subject. So any help would be appreciated. I hate it and the classes are way to easy! What should I do? </p>
<p>IMO you need to develop a plan to get to the next level. That unfortunately means finishing out at your CC well. Find an affordable four year U that your parents will be willing to pay for. Get with a GC and find a path that will get you credits that WILL transfer to that four year U. </p>
<p>I’m kind of in the same boat as you, and my parents are TERRIBLY clingy. I chose CC because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but now that I have figured all of that out I’m transferring out in 1 year as opposed to the standard 2 years. I think that once know what you want you should also transfer.</p>
<p>Not too many can help you if you do not specify the CC, four year school, or your major.</p>
<p>You have some serious problems here to work out with your parents and your turning into an independent adult. You’re not going to get the solutions here in a few paragraphs. However there is something to be said in a few sentences that can help. Your CC likely has counselors available to help students with issues like the ones you face. A trained counselor is what you need to work with, and one most counseling services for students are free or low cost. </p>
<p>You need to GET A JOB. Once you’re working part-time while going to college, your parents will not have nearly as much control in regards to your schedule. If they say that they don’t want you to work, explain that you need to have some work experience to put on your resume. </p>
<p>Also, join some study groups. </p>
<p>Home for dinner every night! Yikes…that is crazy!</p>
<p>Are you allowed to date???</p>
<p>I’m working 32-35 hours a week, mainly 630-1100 and then most of my weekends and Friday durring the day, as I don’t have classes, I have a job. I’m at Des Moines Area Community College. </p>
<p>Oh good!</p>
<p>Are you allowed to date and do things with frends? </p>
<p>So there’s this
