So...yeah. I have the HOPE scholarship, which used to pay for 150 dollars worth of my books for college. Then they took out 15 dollars for activity fees without telling anyone. Okay, that's fine. Then they took out 50 dollars for Institution fees, whatever the flying ass fuck that means, without telling anyone. Okay, I can still live with nearly a hundred bucks. But then this semester, I go to the fucking bookstore to buy my shit so I can maybe read my homework, and the guy tells me there's no money on my card. I'm like okay, maybe it isn't on there yet. So I go to the financial aid office, which is packed. Not waiting in that line. So I go back downstairs to the business office and ask the one-foot-in-the-grave-old woman behind the desk what's up. She says the money doesn't drop to my card until January 20th. Which is inconvenient. And so I was like, how am I supposed to use that on books?? And she proceeds to speak to me like I'm a complete idiot, asking me if I'm a first-year student. I'm like NO, I'm not. She's looks at me and is like, HOPE doesn't pay for everything, you know. And I was like yeah, it used to pay for 150 dollars worth for books. Then she gets on her calculator and tells me about above-mentioned fees, only THIS semester they jacked up the Institution Bullshit Fee to 100 fucking dollars! That leaves poor, destitute, can't-afford-food me with 35 dollars to spend on books. Oh, and not until January 20th, of course.
GOD HATES ME AND I HATE HUMANITY.
