Still haven't closed on a prop & frustrated

I love this website and all the information it contains, but now being on it everyday and soaking up all this different knowledge has become overwhelming and frustrating, especially when you just want to close on that first deal to get the experience that sitting on a computer can't give you. It all looks & sounds good but when it comes down to the wire, i have to ask myself every morning how in the world is a poor college student going to get thousands of dollars to get this RE flipping venture underway. I know there's different means on getting the capital to start but so far from my experience it's close to winning a scratch off ticket unless you know someone personally that has money to invest (i wish). You can keep asking and asking, people will sound interested but then the total outcome will still be 0 no HIT. With something involving real estate the knowledge is priceless on the internet which means you can stuff your brain until it hurts. Then have your mind play tricks on you and start making things more difficult then it should be (overwhelmed).Then the eagerness kicks in but you have no money and the only way is to depend on finding someone to believe in your vision willing to give you whats needed to actually get it done (frustration) So what am i to do now? 

I guess this is me venting on my current situation.
