You're right, about everything. Not sure what I was thinking. I know most of those things to be true but was hoping that somehow I would be able to get my degree without having significant trouble, financially and mentally. I suppose working while attending school IS my only option. Thanks for bringing me back to reality.

I plan to go to CCBC (community college) for nursing (RN). I've been doing a lot of research and reading through the forums here, but I still have a lot of questions and uncertainty. I currently work a full-time job for an employer that doesn't offer part-time work. I've considered trying to find something part-time, but I have ADD paired with crippling anxiety and don't feel that I would be able to do well in class if I worked as well. I currently live with my grandmother and my boyfriend. He just recently started a new job, but he's making $12/hr which definitely isn't enough to pay both of our bills while I attend college. Would it be possible to take out a large loan that would cover my tuition and living expenses for the next 2 years? Is that unrealistic? My total bills a month are a little over $800, to put things into perspective. I also wouldn't qualify for financial aid in this current living situation, so unfortunately, that isn't an option. What would be my most reasonable course of action?
