I never thought going to a University and trying to graduate would be that hard at my age. School has always been easy for me. Moving on the other hand has not, these past 2 years in a smaller city/college town has been my version of hell. Making friendships has been tough because I’ve been so focused, I commute so much and frankly don’t have much time for anything let alone cultivating new friendships as cold as that sounds and being on a very tight budget doesn’t give me much room for well, anything & being forced to move in w/ my parents because I burned through my savings was also rough (Yes, I know how fortunate I am to even have that option).
Finding a job flexible enough with my schedule and especially one that pays even a fraction of what I used to earn was impossible until I lucked out 6 months ago with a job that was flexible & paid great for being a part-time job (better than nothing). What has made school panic inducing is the astronomical fees that are attached to my classes and the lack of funds that I have to pay them. Today I found out that I have to have 2 grand paid off before my fall term because of the 1 class I took at University during the summer.
1. I don’t have 2 g’s or even 1.
2. I won’t be working the next 2 weeks because I work at a college & it’s summer break therefore I won’t be making money.
3. I have 2 weeks to figure out how & where I’m going to get that money…
Frankly I now know why people end up stripping in order to pay for their tuition….(told you I’d have a lot of word vomit on this thing)
