...fuck.
14 years ago
I hate to do this to my watchers, esspecially all those who recently watched me post the two furmeets I attended who probably thought I might have been really happy, if shy and quiet, or maybe funny, despite openly admitting that I was poor.
Well, I was happy. I've always kept an optimistic view on things, cloud has a silver lining and everything happens for a reason thing. Hell, one of the best sayings I've heard is that it's the tough parts of life that we come out of stronger in the end, And now everything has come crashing down on me suddenly with just one statement that my mother told me just an hour earlier.
So, many of you may have realized I've recently completed my second year of College. It's been great, and I've enjoyed it to no end. College has been amazingly fun, and I've made tons of friends being there. It's been a blast actually, especially with everything I've learned.
As many of you also know, I have been struggling with finding a summer job to help combat bill payment in my house. A few of you know this is because my own mom has been unemployed since Christmas of 2009, when she was suddenly laid off from her work after combating depression. She, like me, has been having major problems in the job hunt department, partly because she is completely stubborn and unwilling to take even part time jobs in clerk work or fast food places (Not that any of those places are hiring right now.)
Well, because of her being unemployed, and therefore unable to pay bills completely on time and such, her credit score has taken a major drop. I have non to speak of, since I own no credit cards. Well, she attempted to file for financial aid and scholarships...
She was denied...
Peter (My mother's boyfriend) refuses to sign anything for loans or financial aid...
I can't get any due to no credit...
All this surmounts to the fact that unless some great miracle or compromise happens, I won't be returning to college come this September...
I'm... trembling. This is the hardest thing to happen in my life. Even when my grandmother passes away I wasn't this shaky. I... I got over it quickly... but this... this...
I can't believe it...

My best friend filed herself as she was old enough to do so and was able to go back to school and finish her degree. I unfortunatly have "rich" parents who dont qualify for aid so they're stuck in that weird limbo of not poor enough for aid but not rich enough to be able to afford 3 kids in college.
Perhaps, once you're able to collect yourself, a call to the financial aid office at your school (if there is one) might be in order to see if there's any other options on the table.
Sending some good vibes your way.
Have you considered getting a job? (if you don't have one already of course)
