[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not take on 80k for your misery just to appease your parents. Do you currently have access to counseling services through your school? Even a few sessions might be able to help you make a plan to move forward. Do you have any friends or other contacts who you might be able to talk to about your situation?

I work in college access. If you were one of my students, I would encourage you to at least take a leave for a semester so you can figure out what you want to do. Don't take out these loans under pressure. Get a place with roommates, get a regular people job, start exploring your options. Check out your state school options. You really don't want to get locked into a situation where you have to work at a job you hate and in which you feel like a failure just to pay loans that you didn't want to take in the first place![/quote]

OP here. I would love to talk to an expert who works in college access who shares my opinion (and frankly, seems more grounded than most of the commenters here). Do you mind sending me an email at venusgreenfield28@gmail.com ? No worries if you'd rather not spend your time emailing a rando, but I would really appreciate your input (as someone who has basically no guidance right now except from my controlling parents).
