Aimless wandering soul

Truth be told, I really am feeling downright dejected by the fact that I can no longer go to uni. It takes the tears brimming up in my eyes to let me realise how badly I'd wanted to go to uni but no, that plan and hope has been dashed. I said I'd rather start working to sustain my mum and I but really, I was just scared of further depleting this family's finances. So help me really, what am I to do with life after poly?
