When I went off to college 5 years ago as a freshman I had ZERO self discipline. My mom never did a college tour with me, never payed for school, did not set me up in my dorm room, did not buy me a car or even teach me how to drive, and she was shocked to hear that I failed my first semester and got pregnant on accident. I have a wonderful 4 yr old now and the only reason why I got things together is because of me having a child. Know 1 showed me the ropes to anything when I got there. She didnt even tell me "hey, you need to be serious about college becasue of reasons A,B,C..grew up fast
