There is nothing you can do to take back the financial mistakes you made in college. You’ll never get back the money you wasted on overpriced textbooks or overindulgent parties. And you certainly can’t return your diploma for a refund, even if you have zero success finding a job after college. All you can do now is assess your situation, learn how to adapt to life after college and make the best choices you can. Learn from the mistakes you made and get a grip on your financial future.
