First, I just wanted to say wow that's really shitty regardless of who took it, and I imagine you are feeling a crushing sense of disappointment, shock and hopelessness. I felt that when I was poor and lost $100, and losing what you lost is so much worse.
Now with that said, you absolutely can come back from this. You have already demonstrated that you can manage your money (choice of where to store it notwithstanding) without blowing it all, and you plan to invest in an education and self-improvement. This may feel like a dark, dark time to you, but I hope you will keep trying anyways, because if you do I promise you will persevere.
I sincerely hope that in 10 or 20 years time when there is another major recession you will look at $500k losses that you have in your investments (because that's what happens during recessions) and look back at this time and say "man, remember when losing $15k felt like the end of the world?". And then you will shrug and go on with your life because even though you just lost $500k, you will know you will recover and you can deal with this kind of thing.

Sad story, but the title is misleading, as the fact your savings were stolen has nothing to do with them being in gold (or silver, I didn't get this part). It could have been cash money or any other material thing.

It should be a sub rule that the TL;DR have more meaningful info than the post title

if there is water in the sink, fill the bottle with water first then turn it upside down putting the bottle over the drain then squeeze the bottle. forces a jet of water down the hole

Oh shit!
Amazingly enough, I have a similar story and it happened many years ago on Halloween!
I got something out from under the sink in my sister's house and grabbed the drain pipe for some leverage and the entire set of pipes broke off!
So I had to go to the hardware store and buy new plastic and cement and everything and there I am, repiping the drains while trick or treaters are coming to the door!
Good luck!

First check with finanical aid to see what they can do to help. If you cant get the cost down SIGNIFICANTLY, you need to go elsewhere.
Also i am a little weirded out by a "prestigous" school that accepts a GPA as low as yours. It's not terrible but its nowhere near prestigious.
Go to a community college for 2 years, get yourself situated. There is 0 reason at all to go to a school costing 67k a year when your academic performance is not absolutely top notch.
Whatever "feeling" you have about this school, you need to get over. Because you will have a whole different feeling when the debt starts suffocating you.
I went to 2 different community colleges, state school and a state grad school. Happy to answer any questions you have. Didnt have any family with college experience.
Do not go to a school that is 67k a year.

Hey, let them be, everyone has to start somewhere, they're just setting boundaries!! Lolz I was at the stag shop yesterday with bestie and there were lots of interesting things, saw some things I'd heard about before some were new. Some I boggled at the size of (lady bits) others I was able confidently assure the sales gal that nope, that will totally fit up someone's butt (been down some weird rabbit holes.) But by far my favourite was seeing some sounding rods, showing besties (weird inside joke) and newer guy friend who was with us and got to tell him what they were 🤣 he winced and covered the goods on reflex.

Title says gold, story says silver. Couldn't have been that bad of an experience if you're not sure what you lost.

Take responsibility, learn from it, leave him alone and move on. You're obviously very young so hopefully this is a lesson in thinking before speaking that you can learn and take with you into adulthood. Also im sure a little comment like that isn't just what caused him to cut you out, it's highly likely you've built a mountain of stupid things and haven't realized, and he's finally sick of it. If he wants to attempt at giving you a second chance in the future, which he 100% doesn't have to, he will reach out.

yeah, but OP already has his suspicions (read the post) and it's the first thing I thought.
How many people knew about it?
There's your list of suspects. Especially if there's nothing else missing.

He made his own fair game by trashtalking yours. It's the same logic as "Don't ask if you have problems with the answer". Or challenge you with "you won't dare anyways" and then complain when you do that thing.
You have no reason to overly blame yourself. You weren't even specific, you remained well within the bounds of what friendship allows.
