I need your help...

Guys, I need you all more than anything right now...

I need advice, to the max.

Here is the story in short:
I recently sent in a $500 deposit to Colby Sawyer College, as you know. This does not mean I'm going there for sure. The deposit has to remain in place until May. I received a $12,000 scholarship (the highest scholarship) to attend the school and automatic admittance into the Honors Program. I'm not gloating here. It's important to the story. So recently, my mom has been like all "you need to re-think this decision." "Colby Sawyer has a very high tuition." "You need to re-think this, Megan, it's too much money." My family did not get any financial aid from the government. Go figure. I'm an only child and not from a ridiculously poor family. We're not wealthy. But not getting any aid means we're well off enough. F-U FASFA!

So my rents are making me have an overnight stay at NEC and making me look at Keene again...AGAIN! As if I did not loathe it enough the first time I saw it. My rents say that if I look at Keene again, with an "open mind" and if I go there, well then everything is fine and dandy. They will pay for me to go to Keene and then let me get a Masters degree at any place of my choosing. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT A MASTER'S DEGREE!!!!!! Plus, bachelor college is 4 YEARS! Masters is only 1! Which place will matter more to me? Which college will I be spending more time in? Which one will I need to fit in more with? Which one will need to be perfect for me?

My parents have the cash. And even if they did not, I offered to pay loans on college for the rest of my life if I got to go to Colby or Emerson. I was dead serious about it. They have been paying for me in everything for my whole life. This is the time when I offer to pay and they turn me down. You wanna know why? They don't think I will get a job right out of college. So I will not be making the money to pay off the loans. Awesome. Thanks for having faith in me, you fools!!!!

To make matters worse, I got one of those car decals today from Colby Sawyer, welcoming me to the class of 2010. I cried forever. I am still crying now.

Help. Please tell me what to do. If you care a little, a lot or not even so much.

I felt for awhile that I was being selfish. But wait a minute, I'm not! I'm offering to pay them! And I am the one going to the school...
