Search Results: getting into college

I’m a bio major & i don’t have a car & depend on my student refund checks & scholarships for money.. I asked someone to Help me pay my credit card bill (Not all at once) because i maxed it out at 2K getting clothes for schl, dorm supplies, Lyfts (which gets DUMB EXpensive), food, getting my hair done, toiletries, cleaning supplies, printing, washing my clothes ( it’s not free on campus) etc. after 4 months i maxed it out because i wasn’t working.. and they told me that i should be more financially independent.. I thought that was weird because if i was already financially independent i wouldn’t be a Junior Trying to get a bachelor of science degree so that i can get accepted into graduated schl so i can become a Doctor.. what do you think? Cause no other 20 yr old at my university is financially independent and my parents obviously don’t send me money because they’re poor.. Other wise i wouldn’t have used my credit card so muchX 😭😭😭 I tried working & being in schl for a little while but i was EXHAUSTED 😕. What do you guys think?

As a child, my parents used to pressure me into getting good grades and graduating from college. That mission has been accomplished but it wasn't enough in life.

My father used to tell me ''graduate from college, get your degree and you have the world on your feet, you can have anything you want''. It was a nice attempt but afterwards, I felt emotionally and socially stunt. Till the age of 29 (I'm now 32), I couldn't even cook a simple meal. I had to learn some things from google and youtube.

This is what I had to learn later on:
A college degree isn't everything. You can still lack skills and be unprepared for the real world out there even with your degree.
