Since you know I never beat it around the bush with you, I'll tell you that you are too young to get married. I think you should go to college first and then get married. You'll be older and more mature and should be able to better handle the emotional roller coaster that marriage is.
Journalism takes time, but so do all the other careers. Besides, whether you do it or not, times will still pass so... do you want to be older with a degree or older with no degree?
Anyway, great to see you're doing good. Stay warm.
