@Mizz, ugh I'm so simple minded, lol I apologize for making u type ur pain out like that. But, let me share this with you: when I decided to move to where I am now, I did so without a job, without a plan. It took me four months to find a job and yes girl, I was living wit my mother, sleeping in the cold azz lonely azz BASEMENT. Depressed just wasn't the word. I found a job as a secretary, I like to say, ah hem, Administrative Assistant, lol, but anyway I felt that I was too good for that ish and it was below me. It did allow me to move from mom and begin to gain some stability. So after working there for about six months, I found out the school was closing and found myself out of a job again. I'm feeling like I'm a bad bish and ima get another one soon so I use the rest of my savings to maintain my bills. I had no supporters or contributers and my savings just wasn't that long, but I refused to file unemployment because "I didn't want that s***," so broke as hell and dumb as hell I struggled on hope. Car broke down, phone cut off like I'm 12 years old. No nails no hair, girl just a mess. I finally filed for unemployment and got a lil relief but with that filing, I remembered who I was. A bad bish. Period. And I was about to find a way to get it poppin and I did. Found a job through an online posting and worked my swagg crazy like my life depended on it cuz it did. I made hypothetical reports and proposals and brought them to the interviews and let them know they was f*ckin wit a winner. Got the job. Restoring me to a salary that I made before I moved back, and helping me to get my life back on track. Now, I said all this to say to u girl, we gave u some good advice, but YOU gotta work ur magic boo! U know u a winner, go get that ish! Try to file for an extenstion of unemployment and if u don't get financial aid then u just gotta put school on hold. Car....girl u might have to catch the bus, but when u get on it, know that u on your muthafuckin grind bish! Get ur energy back by reminding urself that u r the coldest of the cold! They can't hold u! They can't stop u! U gotta know it, u gotta speak it, u gotta speak life into ur life everyday! Never give up or think any obstacle is too big for you. Because when u do, that is the very moment you have lost! Friend me and send me ur city and state, I'll check to see if I have any college friends that live by u. They can maybe pull some strangs! Lol. Ladies we can set a time and pray for Mizz two days a week. Girl u got this. Speak it and live it!!

Sorry to hear about your problems, just keep in mind that everything is fixable and you can get out of any situation if you try enough. Call all your financial institutions and let them know about your situation, don't leave it on it's own. Most likely they will be willing to work out debt payment plan for you but it won't affect your credit as bad as just non payments. I'm glad you are back to school, find career services on campus and they can help you with your job search. As I said before focus on yourself and leave all external ish out - men, friends etc, if they don't help you, you don't need them. If your car is more expensive to fix than 600 save those 600 to go to insurance auction and get some raggedy but derivable vehicle. It won't be good looking but it will take you to interviews. Fix your resume and apply every day, indeed.com, linkup.com, even craigslist, think of all people that you know who could help you to find a job. You don't have to ask directly but you can say something like: "If you know someone who is hiring please keep me in mind" and give your polished resume to them. 

And least but not last, make a vision board, there are some posts on here about it THEY WORK!

Stay strong girl.
