Questions about legal status

I am currently an 18 year old high school senior and have been living in the USA since January 96. My tourist visa expired April of that year. I was wondering if it would be possilbe to get back on track and somehow attain legal status. I want to pursue a Bachelors in 'Computer and Information Technology Sciences'. I do not live with my parents, they aren't citizens or greencard holders and they do not live in the Us. My aunt and uncle (both are citizens) have custody over me. The reason there was no action to make me ''legal'' was because of laziness and uncaring manners. I did not take this too seriously until I realized I'm almost out of high school and I dont know whats next.. I can't even get a job or driver's liscence which makes the situation worse. I've heard of new amnesty laws focused towards illegals and a few towards students. I was wondering if anything close to that would be of some help. I have a girlfriend of 2 years but I do not want to engage in a marital relationship until I receive legal status on my own. Since the people responsible for me did not take any sufficient action, I am willing and anxious to do it myself. I understand my being 18 already might make things hard.

Thank you, all your responses will be highly anticipated and appreciated.

I hear much about the DREAM Act, and the Student Adjustment Act and that they have bi-partisan support. I hope both come though, anyways I have another question. Would you happen to have any idea, if I live in Tennessee I would be able to obtain a driver's license? I know there were some bills pending in the state of Tennessee to tighten license issuance laws.

Thanks again, Ron
