Money is Always an Issue...

Being a senior this year, in 5 months I'm about to graduate from High School and make that leap into the real world. College, jobs, cars, etc all that is a big factor in that and it's becoming a difficult time for me.

Some of you know, I got accepted into SCAD last month and I'm really happy. Sad thing is, I may not be able to even go anymore. This college is very expensive. (About $29,000 for just one year plus room, board, books, and a meal plan.) Even though I really want to go to this college, I may have to go to a different one. And it is not helping that my mom still hasn't done the FASFA so we can hopefully get some money. But the fact is, I really really want to go to this college. It's a really nice school and is sort of my dream college. It has everything I ever wanted and has very intelligent people unlike my fellow students that attend my high school. I'm currently trying to get some scholarships and I feel I won't be able to attend this college.

Trying to find a job is also difficult thanks to the way the economy is right now. I have tried countless jobs such as Zaxby's, KMart, Gamestop, Blockbuster, even McDonalds but I still can't get one. I'm possibly getting my license on Friday and so I will need gas money and using the money for other necessities when I go to college.

Well thanks for having the time to read my blog. I appreciate that you had the time to read what I had to say.

Ouch, those are harsh words. I'm hoping you weren't serious - otherwise, I would need to point out that it isn't to anyone's credit/fault what family one is born into.

I'm fortunate that Blighty does offer substantial Grants/Bursaries/Loans/Remissions/Subsidies for those from less-privileged backgrounds (yours truly, for instance) at University-level. Setting aside that the Loans have to be paid back once one is earning over a certain threshold, in a sense I'm making a short-term profit from going to University (in that I'm receiving more than I could possibly spend on my upkeep; helped by the fact that I don't drink).

But massive sympathy, bro.

This guy speaks the truth. Doing something you have no control over is WAY worse than killing and mutilating the bodies of one thousand infants before urinating on their mothers.

But I didn't take anything out of context?
 
Maybe he meant get yourself in a children's home and convince a rich family to adopt you or something. That's the only thing I can think of it if it's in context.
