I am concocting a plan in my head to run away to Toronto. The only problem with this plan is that it is mostly fantasy. It doesn’t work in theory nor practice. I can’t run away. By the process of elimination, I have two options left: to stay here, or to go to university. Here is the problem with staying here: if I had to survive another year here when I thought this would be my last, there is an unfortunately high chance that I will commit suicide or in some other way have a mental breakdown that will result in my imminent downfall. Here is the problem with going to university: there are thirteen thousand dollars I could really use my mother’s signature for. And she won’t give it. Which means I have literally zero dollars for university. Which means I’m not going. Which is why my first option, to run away, seems so appealing. Now, I just spent eight hours going over every single tiny-but-possible option before I narrowed it down to the three you have read. Don’t think that my mother will turn around and give me these signatures. Last night she made a chart for me, column a “Magicforest” column b “Her Father” and all of the things that a) I have in common with him or b) I am destined for. So here is my new plan. Don’t tell me I’m being melodramatic because I know that already and I’ve gotten enough criticism lately to satiate the population of China. If I don’t have a way to get at least 100 kilometres from this town and everything in it by December 10th, which is when university applications go in, I will disappear from the face of the earth and never be seen again.

why won't your mother give the signatures?
are you 18 or above?
i'm certain that there's another door, but it's not revealed yet.
genuine heartache for you, darlin', that's one helluva predicament.

I think you aren't going to like this answer, but I'm choosing possibility four:
work. work hard, and then work harder. Live at home. Immerse youself in work, and save money. Treat as your enemy anything that takes your earned money and leaves you with nothing. And to hell with the rest, including that twelve thousand, and to your mother.
Sample a lot of life. After you decide what job you can stand, start studying to get that job.

I take it you're looking at a private university, considering the high price tag on the tuition.
I'd encourage you to look at financial aid to get you in the door, but since you want out by Dec 10, I don't think that's an option.
you got any friends out of town that would put you up for a bit?
