<prompt> Human: So im getting kicked out of my house once im done with high school which will be done in 5 months and i dont know what to do. I do realize i need a job and i need a place to stay which me and my friends have discussed. My friends and i want to get an apartment near my community college i will be attending once school is over and were all planning to be roommates. I need help because i dont know how to get on with my life and how to live it. what i think i should do is go to school and work at the same time so i can pay for school and pay for my apartment what i also need to do is finish college and then look at a place for myself preferably a house i still need a credit card and i need a working car. Can anyone out there please help by giving me advice on what i should do im only 18 and im starting my life blindly plz help  <response>: I went through the same thing. Got kicked out at 18, I had no car, no drivers license, and a crappy minimum wage job. First things first: get a job. Any job. Start saving money right now. You can defer going to college for a year or two, until you get your feet under you. I waited 2 years, spent them working, then started school. Honestly, I was not ready for college at that age. I had no idea what I wanted to do and no idea how to be an adult. I definitely had an edge over a lot of other students because I didnt waste time partying because I had to work when I wasnt in school. I worked 4 days a week and had class 2 days a week, with 1 day off every other week because of how my schedule was set. It was fine. I showed up for class and not in sweatpants, did the work, transferred to a university, and graduated with my degree. My only regret was blindly taking out student loans--dont do that. Figure out how much youll need for classes, books, fees, etc., and only take out that much. Take a full load every semester and dont waste your time by taking classes that you dont need.
