Unhappy Letting go of my Camaro...need help

Well it looks like a lot of the people on here who told me getting the car wasn't a good idea were right. I have a job that pays me really well, which is why I thought I could afford this car, and technically, I can. But I now have to cut back at work because of college. I'm going to school for Pharmacy and my classes are a lot harder than I expected, so I need extra time for homework, studying, getting tutored, etc.

Which means working only maybe 2 days a week. I won't be able to pay for it anymore, so I'm going to sell it/trade it in while I can.

Now I do commute to school every day, and spend a lot of time in the car. It takes about 25 minutes to get to school, and that's with no traffic. I already have over 2200 miles on my 2LT/RS ABM and I took delivery on 8/12.

So after I sell the Camaro, I will have about $5500 (or actually maybe around $6,000) left to myself for either something used that I don't have to make a payment on, or a cheap, new car with a warranty. I looked at the Cobalt, but I wasn't really impressed (I know I can't expect much with my budget). I'm considering maybe the Honda Civic? *hides* I can work a lot more hours in the summer, and when I'm on break from school. So I kinda don't want a payment of anything more than $250 per month.

So yeah, it looks like I'll have to wait until I graduate to get a Camaro. I didn't want to listen to anyone, and the more people told me it wasn't a good idea, the more I wanted it. I guess it's a part of growing up, you live and learn. I did save up all that money for the down payment, but I guess I'll save in the end, not having to make that $369 a month car payment. :(

Any suggestions from here? This time, I'm actually willing to take advice.
