Do your parents really want you to run their business without any college education or business experience? Or would it be one of those hands off and let the CEO do all the work while you roll in the dough deals.

Seriously still staying over at grandma every week? So little interaction with regular people that noone told you you smelled? You think living 40 minute away is FAR? And most importantly: You want to run your dad's company eventually? Seriously, go to college. Even if you hate it it will be a good experience for you. | ||

2. Why are you so against going to college? (College isn't for everyone, but you seem quite unhappy with the fact that you might go and get a better education and fantastic experiences.) 3. If your college is actually just 40 minutes away, you don't have to move on campus (especially if money's an issue for you). I commuted every year of my college experience (as well as throughout graduate/ doctoral programs) and I live 40 minutes away from campus as well. Especially since apparently you're quite upset with the fact that you need to leave the house for college... do you really need to leave everything behind when you start college? 4. "I always had the idea that I would start my own business and become first overnight billionaire." Yeahhh I think you needed a wake up call, one way or another. At least you still have options that can move you towards happiness and success. Good luck!  | ||

It takes me an hour just to meet my friends at a bar and they live in the same city I do. I once dated a woman who lived in another country. You'll be fine dude. | ||

Making your own company instead of inheriting one also sounds like a much more challenging task. | ||

To top it all off, my mom apparently got a call from the nurse's office from school today. Somebody complained that I stink in class to the front office lol. Unless this was just some asshole who did this to mess with you, this is kind of a big issue. If your BO is bothering other people in the vicinity, that's a bit of a problem. Go to college with an open mind and a positive attitude. If you go to college (or anything) with a shitty attitude ("I'd rather be somewhere else, this sucks, etc"), it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. College is anything you make it to be, good or bad, and that's the same with life. | ||

Online courses are a terrible idea. You're like the sheltered protagonist at the start of a coming-of-age college movie who needs a shove out the door. Once you're out in the real world you'll realise stepping outside your comfort zone was the best thing you ever did. | ||

I moved 5 hours away from my hometown for university and still kept in touch with high school friends and now live in a different country, 40 minutes is nothing. Online courses are a terrible idea. You're like the sheltered protagonist at the start of a coming-of-age college movie who needs a shove out the door. Once you're out in the real world you'll realise stepping outside your comfort zone was the best thing you ever did. Pretty much this. You need a kick in the pants. Your closeness to family is something to be admired, sleeping at your grandma's house is nice and I like the closeness, but you have to grow up a little here. You have to make new friends, enter a new environment, and make it. You have to do these things, because if you don't, life is gonna get really boring really fast. This will force you to make new friends, work on issues you have that others make issues of, and most importantly learn to cope in a system that isn't home. You'll be better for this, just find yourself a bit . | ||

Okay let me break this down for you: this blog is so silly that I can't actually tell if you're trolling or not. If this is all serious, then man you have no idea what life is like beyond the veil of your small family interactions. You desperately need to experience things for yourself and make your own decisions. You hang out with your grandma every week and think 40 minutes away at college is a long distance. Dude I used to drive 40 minutes to school, one way every day twice a day five days a week, sometimes more. The funniest thing is that you call all these changes happening to you "dramatic". Man you don't know what drama is. You don't know what anything is. Go out in the world and make some decisions. Learn. It's important for you to realize that you don't know anything or have any experience. If you're trolling then well, you're pretty good at it. | ||

There are way too many kids who go to college just because "they're supposed to," and then they wind up wasting $$$ drinking away their brain cells and flunking out (or getting such bad grades that they actually put themselves in a worse position than they were in when they just graduated from HS). Take some time off, get a job, look at your life, and ask yourself where you want to go. Then get off your ass and start walking. | ||

I assume you have had a VERY sheltered life so far because none of the things you described are even close to being dramatically life changing events. Go to college. You shouldn't try and live this sheltered life forever. Also I'm sure 99% of the people reading this blog (including myself) would jump at the opportunity to have their college/university education funded by a family business. | ||

You'll be fine dude. Oh the pain of distance dating ^_^ Had the same problem, me being in the Netherlands and her being in China :p Edit: @OP: You're complaining about 40 minutes to travel somewhere? It takes me at least 1,5 hours to reach my university each day, back and forth, in order to get studying. Hell, if it were only 40 minutes I'd do it by bike. You've got to drop the balls, become more ballsy and stop being so dependant on the family. They will never be around for an infinite time, so the earlier you learn to be independent, the better chances you get in later life. Other than that... Deal with it. | ||

* Moving 40 minutes away and you can't keep in contact with your friends? * Sleepover at your grandmothers, how much longer do you honestly thing you're going to be doing that? When you're 21? 25? * Oh no, you don't have an already successful business to inherit, now you have to go to college and further your education to make yourself more marketable to future jobs. Woe is you? * Your life has changed dramatically? No one died, no one went bankrupt, no one went homeless, no one is abandoning you. I'd say your changes are mild and boring compared to perhaps 80% of the population with actual problems and decisions to make. Stop whining, go shower, and leave your comfort zone. | ||
