I’ve been on here since high school. I had a similar experience to @Publisher at my first college. I was extremely shy, and came
from a low-income background, so I struggled with making friends. After my freshman year, I transferred home and had a child.
Despite the odds, I finished at my local community college, and will be starting Rutgers-Newark in the fall. I’m so grateful for all the advice I’ve received here over the years!
