My granddaughter is a freshman at Mary Wahsington University and it was hard at first. Of course she lives there so maybe thats better. She could not believe all the work as compared to high school!!!!
Try talking to a couselor there Sometimes it about different study habits and where you are studying. The work is three times as hard as you experienced at high school so it probably blew your mind how different it was!
First of all your parents if they are anything like me, are proud of you anyway regardless. Sounds like all you are doing is about them and not you!!!!!Maybe thats the problem!!!
And them paying for their own college...different world then, not the same now at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there groups at the community college you can join to feel more apart of the school? You would also make some friends. What about forming a study group with some friends(ask some of the kids) in one of your classes. You could meet somewhere over coffee or whatever. You would help yourself with the class and form some new friendships(two perks!)
The first year can be the worse and you are only into October! Its a big change and you are definately not alone with how you feel!
