Being the son of undocumented parents, paying for college is really hard. How will I be able to afford college when its so expensive and scholarships are not coming my way?
I'm asking because I do not believe I will be able to go to college if I do not have enough funds to pay for it. #scholarships

Most colleges can be taken part time. Although preferable, you don't have to take 4 classes each day. Instead of a 4 year bachelor degree, maybe plan on taking more time to graduate. It will be hard, but you can take classes while working a full time job. I worked while going to school. I won't lie, I slept roughly 5 to 6 hours each day, studied hardest on my workday weekends (which usually were on Thursday and Friday), and was thankful that my security job allowed me to work on schoolwork while on post. You can also get student loans, but remember to research each of your options first, some have some hefty percentage charges that will make it harder to pay back. Also, be on the lookout for contests, etc, that may offer grants as a prize.
