I have to do the following, but don't know how... If you would please give me advice, then read on.

I want to drop out of college. Yes, may sound stupid, dumb, moronic. But I have reasons. First, there's no point in studying in an university where there is nothing that I want to study; why would I spend my life in an area I'm not interested in? Second, I'm only wasting my parents' money and effort, because of said lack of interest, and my noticeable decrease in academic efficiency - which has, in fact, turned to inefficiency - and I am tired of doing that to them. Three, I don't feel like I deserve it anymore, not for some time anyways. I have to learn to work hard and be willing to make the sacrifices required to succeed, and until then, I do not wish to go on taking the easy way.

Obviously, I have a plan. I intend to get a job, with which I'll pay my parents all the money they spent on me this semester, and save the rest for my future education. Additionally, my plan is to keep studying, but independently; meaning, out of school, reviewing all my knowledge using my old books and notes, and other books and resources I may get my hands into; later on, study again in an university. Start with the efficiency and sacrifices; among those sacrifices: no more videogames, decrease TV time 90%, spend most of my time working, studying, and helping out at home.

This sounds hard, yes, and I want it to be that way, because I always take the easy way out, and I realized that is not doing any good to anyone, and is in fact causing trouble to myself and others, and I've had it, I do not wish to be a burden for my family anymore.

Now, this may sound a little selfish, but I would like to ask a favor of you. Could you please give me some advice on how to tell my parents? I'm going to get advice at school anyways, but I have to tell them that, and this time, I'm willing to take on the consequences, no matter how painful it is.

p.s.- Evidently, this means my time online will have to decrease, but I'll always have some time for you, my friends. You mean a lot to me, there are no words to describe how grateful I am to have wonderful friends as you.
