Can i still become successful in life?

am 21 yrs old about to turn 22 in 2 months. am in college and am living at home with my folks and am basically living off my parents and its not something am proud of. ive been going to college for 4 yrs now and when the year ends ill have as much credits as a person whose been in college for 2. ive been doing not so good in college my gpa is like 2.3 mostly because ive been suffering from social anxiety and depression for most of college. am currently studying to be a graphic/advertising designer , i could say am pretty good but i get intimidated when i see how good the other students are.am really smart and talented and really determined am also a very talented soccer player.and have big dreams but my problem is that every time i start something i have a hard time of finishing it. for example when doing hw i will do it for 10 minutes stop and rest and then start again i do this for a lot of thing i do i don't know if its laziness or what. i currently have no job, sadly. i want to change my life and start being responsible and providing for myself because at my age am not a kid anymore i know alot of 21 or 22 yr olds that live on there own and have so much going for them. what can i do to become successful and move up in life?

    Everyone has blessed with their own skills. Why are you looking at other students. Believe in yourself. I think the problem inside you is lack of self confidence. The essential trait of successful student is approach. So you should approach your life in a positive way.Keep reading of some good blogs that tell about successful experience of great men , student problems and how to solve the problems..This will help you to increase your confidence level.. Here is one blog like that.. Hope this may help you....:)

    Sounds like a truck driver in the making "O" did i say that :-) Dont worry dude you will be fine. Steven Spielberg was voted most likely to fail, Bill Gates failed and dropped out of college. Steven Hawkins well he is still in college:-) but you get the point if you love what you do then you will succeed! Even truck drivers.......

    Just get your degree. A lot of places accept graduates for starter jobs with a simple overall GPA of 2.75. If you turn things around right now you still can be successful.

    If you want to be and make the choice to be.

    Other people have overcome greater obstacles than yours to become successful.

    If you want money then learn about money. So learn finance, economics, and monetary history.
