Up, down, up, down.. and back again. Emotional roller coaster= The story of my freaking life!
I found out yesterday that I didn't receive enough financial aid( Federal Student loans) to cover my tuition this year. I didn't qualify for ANYTHING grant or scholarship related. I'm about $10,000 short to go full time, about $9,100 short to go 3/4 time, and about $500 to go part time. So.... It doesn't look like I will be starting school this quarter or the next. I was looking into getting a private student loan, but something about that has me worried- 1. The interest rates suck. 2. I won't be able to start paying it back along with my other student loans 6 months after I graduate. 3. The thought of taking out another loan just to go back to school as me unsettled.
Right now, I'm in a dark and twisty place (Grey's Anatomy quote) I'm trying to shake it, but I can't right now.
Disappointed is not even the word for how I feel. More like defeated. I was finally ready to go back to school, and now this.. I know that God has a plan for each person but, I really wish he would tell me MY plan, or give me hint... Something, cause this is not how I saw my life at 25.
The old adage-"Hindsight is always 20/20"- It sure is. Too bad, I can't go back in time.

Candace, I hope something breaks for you really soon...I do agree that you should NOT take out any other loans..they are of the devil (I joke) but seriously those go on for too long and hinder so many other 'life' opportunities. I'm sure God will bring some clarity soon..if He hasn't already. sometimes the answer sits right in front of us but for whatever reason we can't see it. be encouraged!
Thanks Gia. They are of the devil.. which is why I decided to stay away from them-something was telling me NOT to do it. I've decided to press forward anyway. I hope to purchase a DSLR camera soon, and I am enrolling in a Photography class here in Indy.
