So...I have ONE more final to take...at NINE AM tomorrow. And then I don't have to work until two...so, WTF school?

 

Speaking of school, since I'm almost done, I should be like this, right?

Um...No. I'm actually a mix of this:

Why? Because even though I've grown to like my school and the classes, I have to drop out for financial reasons. I just cannot afford to go to school right now, and am SOOOO sick of fighting with financial aid, only to be told, "but the numbers say "no." Try again next year." If I don't have the money now, what makes you think I'll have it next year?! What part of "we have no money" do you not understand?! The FAFSA is NOT going to change! My parents are still going to be together and still working at tax time when the form has to be filled out. I can't take any more loans because of my car loan. My parents can't take loans for me and will not cosign and I am not going $30K in the hole just because the school and government are greedy. It makes me want to throw things...

I know I shouldn't complain, since everyone else has it worse, but there's a part of me that can't help but be angry. I mean, why should I be punished because I had a good life? I mean, I've worked my hooves off for years! I've gotten good grades, mainly Bs this semester at a school built around rich, residential brats while working 30+ hours a week they're all like, "Sorry not sorry your parents aren't bums."

 

I'm so sick of the financial aid system in the states in general. If you ask me, (and mind you, I'm dumb) it needs a complete overhaul! It seems like you either have to be really, really poor to go to school or really, really rich. But what about us middle class people? We need money too!

 

Even my Rari knows that mummy isn't happy...(Even though hugging her did make me feel better. My first thought when I walked out of the office? "I want Rarity!") She's like, but...but...Be happy. You did a thing!! :please:

She tries, she really does...All of them do. But, on the upside I get to finish up my Christmas shopping on Saturday. I'm getting my best friend some clothes for her Pinkie Pie, and if there's one thing I love, it's picking out pony clothes!

Just some guy

Have you considered going to a community college if you're not already?It's much cheaper to grab your undergrad credits at a CC,then transfer to a four-year university to persue whatever higher degree you desire.You should be able to afford one,maybe two classes depending on credit costs.

 

But the best part would be not seeing snobby rich kids everywhere.That alone lessens your chance at becoming a serial killer for  simply having to deal with them.

This IS my transfer school, which is why it's so frustrating. I actually graduated from community college last spring (I have an AA in English).

 

And, the kids aren't the problem. The problem is the staff who don't want to work with me...Out of my three professors I only had ONE who wanted to really help and sympathise with me, the other two were like, "It's not our fault you have to work so much. Figure your own stuff out." My school is such a lie. They claim, "we're very student friendly" but the unwritten print says, "if you actually live on campus and can go here full time."

 

I nearly cried when they told me, "we can't do anything for you." Because I don't have a whole lot of options for things like scholarships and grants. (I'm a white chick from a decent, middle class family).
