School is frustrating

ToTheLove

I'm supposed to be starting school on July 1st and I can't seem to get my finances figured out. I mean, seriously.

I got denied my alternative loan, (the not government ones) even with my cosigner and I don't even have a computer at home and I'm supposed to be going to school online, lol.

what to do, what to do! Well they're being all pushy wanting me to register but I don't even know what to register for yet because I don't know how much money I have to spend! For serious!

Well then they just said Bush passed some bill and everyone gets an extra $2000 of aid or something and blah blah this and that.... lol. I'm so confused my head is about to explode.

I've seriously come about THIS close to saying screw it.

But NO. I'm gonna do it.

Okay, that's my rant for the day.

Did you apply for your Pell Grant and Fafsa? Or did you not qualify?

Oh yeah, definatlly. My EFC or whatever was actually 0. Yeah... single mom here. So I got all the aid I can get, but it's 370/credit soooo.... yeah!

Damn.

You said you were denied an alternative loan. What about the Stafford Federal Loans?

I've heard they're really putting the breaks on student loans cuz of the housing market. You might just need to suck it up and reduce classes. It sucks, but this crisis should be over by next year at this time, it may not be a lot better, but it should have stablized enough where the loan companies will start looseing up a bit.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised.

I just talked to my financial aid director and actually... Bush just signed a new bill last week that gives students another 2 grand in unsubstidized loans..

It totally fixed my problem and I'm completely relieved.

I register for classes tomorrow.
