It is about college, I don't know what to do. I go to cc and can't stand living with my fam I feel like living here will be the death of me! The only reason I'm still here is fear, fear of not finishing school and regretting it. But I'm tired of my life going nowhere, I have no friends or family members to turn to, I'm so alone, if I am not @ school then I'm laying in me bed. I can't find a job & my family makes it worse my scolding me calling me a loser and telling me I'm a waste of life I don't know what to do to get a change in my life, i don't feel like i'm living @ all.
The most important thing is being happy with yourself. Even if your family and friends do not support you or inspire you, learn to be happy with yourself.
I did not know what I wanted to do after college even when I graduated (I'm 25 now). My career aspiration started at being an actuary. Then I wanted to pursue a further degree in social psychology and work with kids. Now I am working in real estate development and construction management. I thought I would finish my career in real estate because I enjoy it so much, but my next quest is to open my own business.
My point is I don't know where I'm going or where I'll end up, but I'm happy and taking it day by day.
My only advice is to finish college and to put yourself out there

You can't go anywhere until you pick either a destination or a direction. Either will do, but you have to pick something.
In the end, it won't matter which or what you pick right now. This first choice will give you some momentum. That momentum will give you the feeling of "going somewhere". You can change goals later, if you need to.
Don't forget, most people change their field/career choice after a while. Some people change a couple of times.
Get a well-rounded education. Most people change careers two or three times during their working lives. You can always tell if you're heading in the wrong direction... your gut will tell you. The fact that you feel "meh" about your college major might be a sign that you should try new things.
If you decide that business admin is not right for you, it's not a big deal to change tracks. As other posters have said, the important thing is to keep moving forward, even if you feel that you aren't making progress, you really are. You are in college. That's something to feel good about!
Hang in there. Pretty soon you'll be able to have a place of your own (with roommates at first) and your life will begin to unfold and take shape.
I recommend staying in school and take all of the core classes you have to take anyway. How old are you tweety? I am guessing you are very young. You really do have your life ahead of you. If you can't talk to your family members, is there a career counselor at your school that will offer some advice to you? Most schools generally have someone who can help with this.
What are you stressed about? You live at home. Are you having some financial problems?
