Well @extremedistate - even if the situation at college is challenging, the main thing is that you grow from it.
My grandfather used to always tell me to wake up, look in the mirror, and say "I believe in you." Sing it if you have to! Just truly believe in yourself, and he said you could accomplish anything. And I strive to live by that motto.
Smart man your Grandfather :)
Thank you for the lovely comment and for your kind wishes.
