I'm a sophomore in college(19) and the dorms are about to close. The officials have made it clear no one can stay here. I just started working and I am saving up money for driving school and a car then considering an apartment. But it looks like I'm gonna need a place to stay first. At my "home" my aunt pays the bills and my mom just lives there rent free. My aunt hate me, she tells me everyday I gotta find somewhere to stay. My family is money driven, and don't really wanna be bothered. I work at night, I just need somewhere to stay. There is no-one, no family, no friends pushing behind me saying hang in there, no-one to give me a pat on the back for a 3.6 GPA and a 2 jobs, they just don't care.
I'm only 19 and working fast food, I need advice plz. No family, no financial support, no emotional support. I'm on my own. I cry everyday cuz it finally sets in I'm homeless. Please help me.

Bless your heart! I have a family much the same way.I ignore them now though.You really should talk to the school and see if they can help find housing for you.even if it is a home that someone in the community rents rooms to college students.I certainly do feel for you.It sounds like you are working hard and trying to do the right things in life to ensure you have some type of future.I too live in a college town.I live near Albion College in Michigan.If I knew you,I would rent you a room for next to nothing.Consider this a pat on the back from a stranger.Good job!! Keep your chin up sweety. and please talk to your school!! they may have a program,or know someone who helps students.Bless your heart! I will remember you in my prayers tonight.

This happened to a lot of people I knew in college. Not being able to be in the dorms during holidays is why most ppl don't stay in the dorms after freshman year. On top of that, my school makes you move to a new dorm every single semester.
My advice is to go home with a friend of your from college, maybe a roommate. I know ppl who were in your situation and that is what they had to do. I also recommened that you get an apartment ASAP.
I know it is rough right now. You are doing a really good job in school. you're GPA is great, and you seem independent.
I'm sure things will be better next semester when you have an apartment set up.

As sad as it seems you still do have it better than a lot of people on the planet. You said that you've been saving up money for a car and insurance, sad fact of life is that you may have to use these funds to have a place to lay your head. You are in college and working at 2 jobs so you certainly need a good nights rest. Keep up the good work and when you get feeling really down remember that you have many things that poor people in third world countries aren't so lucky to have.

Maybe you can find someone to stay with at school. Or maybe you need to sit down and talk to your family about how you feel and what is really going on. A lot of times you can't depend on people to give you a pat on the back. You know you're doing good so keep up the good work. It will all pay off in the end. Good Luck to you and keep your head up!!!

Unless you are in Texas I can't give you a place to stay while on break. I don't generally preach but I truly believe that God does not give you more than you can handle. And like they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Enough preaching. Be proud of your self. I don't even know you and I admire you. You aren't homeless, you are just temporally displaced. Just look at this as a test to prove you have what it takes. When you have made it BIG and your aunt comes around tell her she isn't welcomed. If you make it big enough give your ugly aunt a large amount of money and tell her that is for taking care of your mother. Let her know that family does not do family like she has done you. Hang tough I will pray for you.

I'm sorry that your going through that. I think you need to look in the paper for rooms to rent. Sometimes you can find a hotel that will rent you a room from week to week or even for the month. Look at it this way it will be hard for a while but at least your not homeless with 2 kids like I was when I left my abusive husband.
You also need to forget your mom and aunt. They obviously have other ideas.
Forget the car and take the bus for a while.

Hang in there. I know it is very tough for you but trust me education pays. Don't let your aunt ruins you. Life is sucks sometimes and people around you always put you down but one thing that you have to remember that if you don't love yourself on one does. I have been thru this before i know exactly what you are going thru now. don't work 2 jobs see if you can get help from school or the county where you live. Wish you lots of luck

Is there any way you can ask the school if you can stay they did the same thing to me when I was in school and they let me stay in the dorm its just that around the holidays no one is around so they want to make sure someone is not there and they can't be liable for it I would ask the RA of ur dorm if you could stay good luck to you

Wow. I wish I could let you stay here. I admire the fact that you have two jobs and a 3.6 . . . . that is OUTSTANDING! You sound very sincere and I really really wish there was some way I could physically help you and not just the encouragement. You really do need to hang in there. It sounds to me like you are one whom is going to make things happen for yourself in the future. If you need someone to talk to or to vent to or anything, my e-mail door is always open to you.
