In an exciting- re: not exciting at all- update in my life, I found out yesterday that the financial aid I'm receiving for this summer semester is exactly $1.53 more than what my tuition costs! Which is really confusing and distressing, considering that I qualified for like, zero financial contribution (because I am poor as hell) and, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't really do anything on $1.53. I can't buy books, or live anywhere, or buy food, or anything, and I called someone in the financial aid office and they were like WELL YOU'RE ON A BUDGET and I'm like, it is a dollar and fifty-three cents, that is not a budget. I do not want to live in a palace, I want to live at all
So I sent in paperwork to petition for, like, idfk, living expenses, but I am HIGHLY STRESSED OUT.
