Hi, thanks in advance for everyone who reads and answers this. So I am a 18 year old college student who just finished his first semester. I am originally from New Jersey and moved to Florida for college thinking it would be a good idea to get away for a while and live on my own in a different state. Don't get me wrong I loved Florida but I did not realize how difficult college was going to be, so I recently just moved back home so I could go to community college and get my grades up.
My problem is I feel like I am such a disappointment moving away, having my parents spend so much money first semester then just end up moving back home and going to community college. I feel like I am getting nowhere in life =/. I want to major in public relations or journalism/communications, something where I can work with celebrities, write for major magazines or even become a TV personality.
I feel as if college is not for me at all and I have no idea how to tell my parents that because it will just hurt them. I've always put others happiness before mine and now I just want to do something I want and that will make me happy. Honestly college isn't for me, and I am not just saying that because I did try my hardest and it is taking its toll on me and it has only been one semester. I think if I intern for a public relations company or somewhere in my field of study I could be closer to living my dream then actually spending 4 years of my life in college. I am just ready to get out there already. I'm so lost and confused with my life as I want to do one thing but then try and please others. Any advice on what to do, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
