having SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT ATTENDING UGA...

I think to clarify; majority of my anxiety stems from things that have happened recently in my life that are adding pressure that was not there when I first got accepted. Back in August when I found out, I was completely debt free (car paid for, no balance on cc, and no student loans) and I was planning on transferring my current job to Athens.

Then I had to take out my first student loans with my parents as a cosigner, and I am not one who likes to rely too much on my parents since I know how it can affect them. Following that my totally paid for car got totaled in an accident and the insurance did not cover all of what my new vehicle cost; which required me to take on a car loan to bridge the gap. Then, I recently found out that when I move to Athens I will not have the job I intended to transfer. Lastly, the track I intended to take would have me graduating in 2021 with both a BS with a minor and a MS and my parents don't approve due to how long it will take, and the money, and my age.

I sometimes start to think that it would be easier to stay where I am, even though they do not offer my degree, because at least there I won't have the financial burden constantly looming over me causing me to wonder if I made the right choice. IDK. I am probably overthinking things now at this point and worrying about things that are not as a big deal as I think they are. At the end of the day, I want to enjoy my life in Athens and have the ability to participate in clubs or activities and make new friends.
