Greed and no constraint. You had more than enough money for your tuition and probably everything you could possibly do at 18 but you blow it all playing over your head. I see no real skill here. You're up and down and don't seem very consistent. I think you should quit poker and quit 2+2. Get some help.
So many people here seem to want to maintain this baller image rather than satisfying their real priorities in life. Now you're left broke with broken promises to your parents and your friends.

edit: I don't know why I come off as such an [censored] in this post. Best of luck to you. In the long run all of this is meaningless as long as you can learn your lesson. Don't rely on poker and don't even consider going pro. Go to school, get an education and get a real job.

See my bankroll management thread in the high stakes PL/NL forum. They convinced me to play within my bankroll, and I'm on a quest right now to try to learn it as I detail near the end of that thread. Sounds like you could use something similar.

Wow.

This is why adolescents shouldn't play poker. Self control and emotional stability are sorely lacking.

I count adolescent as anyone under about 25. There are exceptions of course, but poker is just a terrible thing to do to a person still trying to achive emotional maturity.

This will fall on deaf ears but I agree completely.
