@ItsJustSchool I was just hoping there’d be a better plan (a miracle cure, if you will) than working a lot, taking out as many loans as possible, and praying that my mom helps out with costs.
It just seems like everyday at college is going to be packed to the brim and I’d have no time to decompress. Class, homework, study, work, research, internships, walking everywhere everyday for 4 years. How do people do this and get good grades without physically or mentally breaking down?
I just don’t think I’m ready or mature enough for that coming straight out of high school with no job or any timely obligations and barely being able to remain sane. How many gap years can I take before I become a “non-traditional student”? Is there some type of maturity pill I can take?
