You think a 3 hour drive is a long distance relationship? Try being 10,000+ miles apart... My finacee' is in Hanoi, Vietnam while I'm here in California. \n\nIt is VERY tough to have a long distance relationship. It requires tremendous amount of commitment to each other. You are your girl will be tested every day on how strong your bond is. \n\nThere's an old saying that basically says to let her go and see if she comes back to you. That should be the first thing you do to see if your long distance relationship will work. \n\nGood luck to you!

I think you should just talk to your parents about moving to the dorms. Maybe they will understand. Just tell them how you feel and that you want to be on your own and more responsible. Personally, I don't think college is the same if you live at home. You need to take care of yourself, experience more freedom, have more responsibility, and find out who you are for yourself!

A university is much bigger with more students and it's usually divided into separate colleges within; while a college is much smaller with fewer students and there are no more divisions within. Hope it helps!

Let me ask you this, are you going to local college? Can you get a dorm? Alot of schools have programs w/ $$ assistance where you can get a dorm room too. I would def. look into removing yourself from the sittuation b/c then you could be better able to help them clean up their lives. If they are supporting you $$ you may need to gather up some family and friends and do some type of intervention. Know that thay will resent you for a while, but I'm sure the drugs&drinking are contributing to how they treat you. There are some great family couselors out there and many progs. to which your family would benefit. Things will prob. get worse b/f they get better, but hang in there.

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

I am not a christian, so I don't know if you want to stop reading right now, but I am religious.  I am also 18, I know I am not you nor am I your girlfriend.  Through my own experiences with the transition from High School to College.  People change and they go there seperate ways.  Now I am not saying this is always the case but most of the time you will find it to be true.  I don't know if you have started living out on your own yet or if you have been living together, or paided taxes.  Because living together truely is a big step, you have to see eachother everyday, which I know doesn't sound bad now, but what if you get into an argument.  You do not have any "quiet space". Some people need that time alone to think about what has happened.  Most states if you get married, they have a penility tax, usally because of your joint incomes.  So you might want to look into those sort of things before hand.   You both are in college and I am guessing a Freshman.  Do you both know what you want to do with the rest of your life? Job wise I mean, I know I am a Freshman and I don't know which road I want to travel yet to see if it the engineering way or the arts way.  Also, if either one of you has the chance of transfering to a better college and then stay behind for the other person, the person who could transfer just lost out on a wonderful oppertunity, to better themselves but they were held back.  Now you might not see it that way, and I am not saying that is how it always is but this is just another way of looking at it.  Now you mentioned you were religious and you have been together for 4 1/2 years, if you are just getting married because you want to have sex then that is a no no.  Christans do not believe in Contraception, that means condoms, the pill, the patch... what ever you want to call it.  So then you have to bring up the question of kids.  Do you really think at your age and at your stage in your life, you ready to have kids?  There is always a possablity.  There are so many things to think about when you are talking about marriage, you have waited this long, why don't you just wait untill both of you have your Batchlers degrees.  Just a side note, my boyfriend and I are going to be getting an appartment together this summer.  We are going to the same college and soon we will have been dating almost a year.  Now we have talked about mairrage, but we have both agreed, when we get our 4 year degree then we might consider it.  Again, we are diffrent people and I understand that.  From my point of view why worry about such things when there is a world that we were meant to live in, and why don't we just live it.

Your high school record won't matter too much if you are transferring in as a junior after completing an AS/AA at a community college.  I think you have a good plan in place, just do very well at the community college.  You can recover from poor high school grades by proving yourself for 2 years at a CC, but if you mess up at the CC, it's going to be difficult to get into a decent 4 year school.  good luck!

a lot of patience, dedication, and love. going to college is great, stay with it someday you'll have a great job where you can be with your family, but for now your family is going to have to have patience with you too. Good Luck, nest wishes!

My senior year. I had the most fun because I joined a few clubs and was more active in chorus. I was in a trio that won first in state and a triple trio that won second in state. I also had lots of friends and fun. Unfortunately, I had a little too much fun and my grades fell so badly that I almost didn't graduate. I barely made it, but at the last exam, I gave it my all and passed. If I would have only done that throughout all of high school, I would have been an honor student, along with winning lots of scholarships and going on to college. But, alas, I didn't. Don't mean to bum you out, but it's true. I had more freedom as a senior, turning 18 in the middle of the year. I didn't handle 18 too well. I hope you do better than I did. Study hard. Get the best grades you can. Join a couple of clubs. Have fun. You'll only do this once, then it's gone. Learn from one who's been there, done that. Be careful. Be safe. <*)))><

Well your first out is your school. See about housing. If this does not work out then see of friends want to go in with you on a place and be room mates. A lot of times if you get a couple of friends that want to get out on their own as well rent split 3 ways can be very inexpensive. Also look for places within a 5 mile radius of the college. A lot of times you can find apartments that rent only to college students at a great rate. You can get a part time job and schedule work and school around each other. Check with your schools resource office. Most times they will have Information about Businesses that hold a certain number of jobs for college students as well. Also whatever your major is look into finding a job that allows you to get on the job training along with earning a living. There alot of things that you can do to get out. You just have to do the leg work. Use your school resources I promise in a short time you will have your own life.

Most colleges do this you just have to be persistant in asking about it.  They fill up really quickly from what I understand.  I live in MO. and MSU, CMSU, and MU all offer family dorms.  Check out the websites of the colleges you are considering, they should tell you what you want to know

check with your schl counselor.  Then check with local community college district.  Other than that, ask some friends who have been there, done that.

In stead of taking in Home Study, why don't you go to regular school? I believe there is No, and will Never be financial aid package or scholarship offered because the basic requirement for these ones is full time student.\nYou can visit here for some useful information (not for U.S but good information) http://www.icslearn.co.uk/

You are SOL buddy.  Why don't you just go back to school and apply for financial aid.  Start off at a community college and go from there.  Take your basics and some remedial classes.  there is nothing wrong with that and it will help you with your other studies, trust me.  You still have plenty of opportunity and I suggest you take advantage of it and get a small part time job while going to school.  You can live in a dorm and get a dorm scholarship to pay for it.  You have options.  Don't blow it.

College is not just set of courses. You can learn and read course paper at home. College teaches you team work, interacting with people and sometimes also teaches how to do things you absolutely don't like. You are learning a life's lesson at college. You can always choose course that go towards your career later.

Try not to party too much.\nYes, it is possible. I know because I don't remember much of my Freshman year of College...
