I got some money from my college back when I was going to college in the form of financial aid (I think it was left over or something), but now that I am not going to college, am I allowed to use the money however I want?

If I do use it, will I have to pay them back because I am no longer going to college?

Edit: Also, how do I formally quit college? Is there a way to formally quit?

To add onto this, the financial aid came in the form of grants and scholarships.

Edit: I am stressing out over whether or not I need to pay taxes for the financial aid because if you use it for “incidental” purposes (not for education), then they must be reported on tax returns you file … but I have never filed taxes before.
