I'm 18 and entering college for the first time, tomorrow. I waited so long to enter school...well, let's just say family circumstance change (read: newly single mom). I was wondering if anyone else started their college education later, and what advice do you have for me? Thanks in advance, Flamingo

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters First of all good luck! I was a single mother and had to go to college while working at a full time job. It is hard but you can do it. It paid off very well for me. 1. Sometimes you will get very frustrated. If you feel overwhelmed just remind yourself how good it will be at the end. 2. It will be very hard on your kids, but make sure to pay enough attention to them. Remember you are not the only one who is going through a big change. 3. Keep positive attitude. Things always have a way of working out. Especially for those of us who works hard. 4. Don't regret any decision you make. At times you will hesitate. It is normal. 5. Set goals and do your best to accomplish them. even if things change make new plans. 6. Don't give up. Remember everything is for your kids. 7. Take one day at a time. I wish you the best luck:)
