The government won't give me money to go to school. I'm at an awkward age in the system. Apparently, because I am employed, I am expected to pay my own tuition, or the majority of it. I was registered and lead to believe I would be a full time student come fall. I was informed one day before classes started that I was not awarded even half of my tuition and that I was expected to pull the difference out of my ass by the following day if I wanted to attend classes this quarter.
Fuck
the
system.
I never saw myself using a degree in publishing arts professionally. I assumed having a general interest in the subject would be suitable, for now, as long as I wasn't paying for it.
I want to study social science with an emphasis on psychology. I've put it off because the thought of committing to 6+ years of school admittedly scares me- but that's bullshit I've decided. It's foolish to live in fear. Just as soon as I determine where I want to go and the necessary loans are approved, I'm going... gone.
