Help a sister out??

Hey eve ladies! I'm just looking for a little pat on the back/encouragement. 🙂

I'm 18 and starting college in less than a month. I'm moving 400 miles away from my home, my friends, my boyfriend. I am so motivated to earn a degree and start a career, but it's becoming very daunting as move in day gets closer. Neither of my parents finished college, and we don't have a lot of money. I want to make them proud. I'm afraid of fucking up my grades and getting less financial aid because of it.

I used to do really well in school, but I was really depressed all of high school basically and my academic performance dropped dramatically. I can't understand math for the life of me. I do love to read, though. I know it's normal to be anxious about college, but I would really just like some inspiration from women who have careers like I want to have.

I'm majoring in political science. People assume that I'll be a lawyer with this major, but I really don't wanna have to go through more school after college. This might change I suppose. As far as a specific career that I'm aiming for, I don't have one. I just wanna change the world. Sounds cheesy, but it's true. I want fight racism, sexism, homophobia, global warming, poverty etc. I know that as a woman I will be automatically perceived as inferior in the workplace. I want to become confident and competent. I would rather spend my 20s working and earning money than getting married and having kids. Self doubt and low self esteem are my worst enemies :(
