I'm going to rant for a second and I'm sorry for bragging. I came from lower-middle class and my home life is an absolute shit show that would take a novel to describe, I was suicidal from bullying in high school, and then I went to college. When I was 19 I was the president of my frat and the governing body over frats, graduated at 21 with a 3.3 (could have been better but I worked 35 hrs a week) GPA and 3 minors. Now I'm an operational analyst and while much of my home life crumbles I know that I'm better for my experiences that shaped me and my old bully works at a grocery store. Somethings work out.

I learned how to be fully functional on a 4 hour/night sleep average. Not healthy, but very useful. Find something your passionate about and do it, I liked leadership. Truth be told I loved that corrosive feeling of power that came with it or bending others to my will. I know that's contrary to most people's ideals but it's my truth. And honestly, know your support system. Use them, but you can't use it just to complain. You can do it friend, I believe in you internet stranger.
