<p>Remember, the phrase “a sense of accomplishment” only works if there is an actual accomplishment. </p>
<p>Depending on others is “a sense of entitlement.” ;)</p>
<p>Yea, it’s tough love, but the sooner you figure it out and realize that the only one you can depend on in life is you, the better off you’ll be. </p>
<p>I was ****ed at my dad for years. Wasted a lot of time and energy feeling sorry for myself. Well, not a lot of time, but more than I should have. Meanwhile, I started a business and got two other on-campus jobs to fill in. I was working anytime I wasn’t studying, and there was NO time for partying. But I made it through and you can too. Chances are, you’re smarter than I was at that age. Good luck.</p>
