I'm Not Ready For College

So, my first year at a university started last summer. I basically failed all of my classes. I wasn't ready then, and I'm not ready now. I personally think it's best if I give myself some time to grow up and gain some work experience before giving college a second go. My parents, however, insist that I immediately head straight back in. My dad is currently willing to pay for my way through college, but won't be if I don't attend this year. But I'm almost certain I'll just fail again, meaning more wasted money that I'll have to pay back myself. Any advice?

    Work harder. It's really that simple. Fu­ck your peers, they're not important. You don't need friends, you don't need clubs, you don't need a social life. I didn't get my pile of academic awards by sitting around making friends, and neither will you. Work harder. Work every damn day until you want to commit suicide, then drink a pot of coffee and get your ass back to work. Fight for every point, accept nothing less than perfection. When you do make a mistake, drill that shit until you won't ever make that same mistake again. If you're not dreaming every day and night of laying your head on the train tracks just to get a reprieve, then you're not working hard enough. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the college experience is not about having fun or being happy, that's just marketing. You're there to get qualified for a career and to collect experience for your resume (you [i]are[/i] doing internships aren't you?). And whatever the fu­ck you do, don't major in something that doesn't have a strong job market. Anything that won't pay off in terms of money isn't something to major in, it's a hobby.
