Marriage, College, Life???????

Hey all

let me first start off by introducing my self. I am Saqib, i attend the Georgia State University, I am a tentative 21 year-old accounting student, and I am about to enter a huge cross road in my life. As a muslim, the number one principle i try to live by is with the Taqwa of Allah, or the fear and awareness of god. I am goign to say that with that taqwa many things in my life that I have wanted were attained. Anyways, before i digress from what I wanted to say lets begin with what is set up to be one of the most self-discipline demanding times in my life.

 I was recently accepted to The University of Georgia, my dream college, and i really want to go, the only things really holding back is my departure from my parents home, and most importantly, finances. I have been living with my parents for almost 99% of my life. I'm not totally dependent on them ( I pay for my own gas, own clothes, do my own laundry, clean my own room, drive to and from school, etc.), but they give me a house to sleep in, they feed me, etc. to leave that would be a huge thing, but i think after the first few weeks i will get over it. One thing that wont be as easy to cope with would be my financial crisis. I am elegible for financial aid and government loans, but i also need money for lodging, gas, food, and other things, ill probably need a job to cover those costs. I don't think its the fact that i wont have money, but its the fear of me actually having to pay for everything, by MYSELF.

expenses aside, I have also been thinking about another thing in my life not too many people my age think about, marriage. I know one girl that would be a good candidate, but we will leave that secret for now. I am trying to think of how i need to set my life up, financially, spiritually, and personally to be best suited for marriage. of course the only thing thats bothering me is the financial aspect. i need enough oney where i can support both me and my wife, but with the will of allah im not that worried about it. another worry is telling my parents im ready for marriage, and what their reaction will be like. I hope for a positive reaction, but  a negative one would be a huge buzzkill. those of you who are reading thismaybe could help me in this regard.

anyways those are the things currently on my mind. basically the bettering of my future hangs in the balance, I have a chance to go to a highly recognized college and the only things holding me back are finances, and if those are the only things, i will not let them!
