Rejected and Im not sure what to do? ),:

Ok, so Im still learning about the whole college thing. I wish I knew half the things I did today when I first graduated highschool...but its too late and Ive wasted 2 years already. Im 19 and finishing my second year of college. I attended a 4 year college but they wanted me to graduate in 5 years because 'they thought it would be best for me'. I do not like wasting time so I went to a community college and took pre reqs for mount carmel college of nursing. I applied and the other day I got my rejection letter. I cried my eyes out...I worked SO HARD. SO many sleep less nights, crying and stress. It isnt fair. I also applied my senior year in highschool and got rejected. I can understand because then I had a 2.8. I changed my ways and I now almost have 3.3. They told me to bring my gpa up a couple years back and I still got rejected. I dont get it. Im pretty much done everything except for organic chem and the two anatomys. Ive had to drop the classes before. I did not want to get a bad grade like I did in microbio. I got a D the first time and re took it and got a B. I had no idea I could drop classes *face palm* if I had known I would have. Anyways...I know I shouldnt blame teachers but its honesly impossible to pass some classes with the way they teach. Im kind of getting off topic..but I feel hopeless. I wish I had just went for my associates right out of highschool. I could have graduated this june and then went on for my RN. Now look...all I have are worthless pre reqs no degree and no school wants me. How am I supposed to do anything I want in life if Im never given a chance. Im currently working on getting my STNA. Ive never had a job but Ive done lots of volunteering. Theres not many other colleges to apply to in ohio that I know of. I just sent in my application for Chamberlin but Im afraid I will also get rejected. Im not dumb..but I am a bad test taker. I always second guess myself...hence why I got a 19 the first time on my ACT. I only took it once junior year and didnt think to re take it..now Im considering taking it again...should I? What happens if no school wants me? I dont want to change careers. I dont want my classes to go to waste and I also dont want to waste time ): I know Im only 19 but I wanted to finish when I would be 21. Ive known I wanted to be a neonatal nurse since I was 7 and my sister was born. This is pretty much all I live for. I love helping people. I know what I want...but how am I supposed to get there if no one will give me the chance? ),,: Im so stressed Im getting grey hairs...literally lol. Am I the only one going through this? Im jealous of all the other people gettig into mount carmel...no one has any idea how extra hard I have to work in school ):

Girl, CALM DOWN! You are 19! I told myself exactly how I wanted my life to go about a million times, and now I realize it's pointless. Don't set age limits on anything. I had a 3.3 when I applied to nursing school the first time and I didn't get it. I took A&P and applied again with a 3.35 and got in (I also had ALL my prereqs done). Even then, honestly, a 3.3 isn't very high when you're talking about getting into nursing school. I knew one of the people in the nursing department at my school and she forgot to turn in my application, so I got in after letters had gone out. I don't see how you have "worthless prereqs" and how "no school" wants you. Keep taking more prereqs, keep raising your GPA, and keep applying EVERYWHERE. If you have a goal, then accomplish it. If it takes longer than expected, well, welcome to being an adult.
