...I just want to go bank to college (full-flegded sleep-away university , I'll borrow the phrase " uni " from Australians :() , as I never full-fledged got to do (I half-assedly went to college a little , that's why I say " full-fleged " .) .
I will die crying if I don't get to do it :cry: .

If your life is at a point where you are able to fully commit to going to college and you are not fussed about having younger people around you, I would say go for it. Good luck.

I concur; that sounds like a goal definitely worth pursuing. They should have scholarships and loans available to help you pay for it, and a higher level degree never hurt. I hope you manage to make it happen, good luck :)

I agree. Why not make some enquiries /email some colleges today as a first step to do this? Nothing to lose.

Manymanymany times easier said than done :( - :cry:- My past school records/tests are lost , I believe they could be found , with effort (And , PLEASE , don't say " take the tests again/get a GED " , I had a regular HS diploma and more besides , and I'd never do as well as tests now as I did when I was 18 and nots scarred :cry:.) - I don't think that aq lot of " helper " people would want me to really go to full-fledged uni , and they might try to monkeywrench my attempts to do it , thinking I should " only " go to " Night School , Etc.) (community college/junior college _ No doubt someone would say something brialliant about " I hear there's some really great on-line courses these days , they're the latest thing " _ On this board for people who've been in jail/prison/their supporters , Prison Talk Online , I got jumped all over for wanting the full uni experience - :cry: .)
If you are going for a degree/the full enchilada , certainly , the idea of having on-campus housing and food is that it lets you concentrate on the learning ! It makes owning a car unnsesecary - I don't think , even if I become non-homeless , that I am likely to own a car , for instance
If I could get some help from somebody :( I don
t have a cell phone - I have only one set of - very dirty now - clothes , I do have $80 in my wallet that I could apply to some Goodwill clothes and fresh underwear , it would likely take the majority of it , but it , if I kept the older , dirty , clothes in my bag , would make my heavy load even heavier ~ If I could just get some help here . I'm not asking to stay with anybody , just some more general being driven around/introduced to people/maybe leaving a few things with somebody sort of help :cry: .
Sob :cry:

What do you want to major in?

What do you plan on doing with you're degree?
