I am about to start a protest. This is insanity! Why is it that we are promised a FREE public education and yet we have to pay outrageous amounts of money for tuition. The gov't tries to help us, but again they fall short by not allowing us to take out all the money we need for tuition in loans. Then we get told to go get a "student loan" yet if you do not have a cosigner with worthy credit it is impossible to get. Now here I am sitting trying to figure the fuck out how I am going to come up with 5 thousand and no one gives a damn! And it says we are guranteed a FREE public education, but the tuition I pay every semester doesnt seem to be very free to me! What happens if your parents cant afford to send you to college? They tell you to do it on your own but the govt says nope parents are going to affect the amount of money you get. I do not even live with my parents, but the govt insists that i put there tax information on my finacial aid even though they do not pay for a damn thing of mine! Talk about bullshit! They want the American student to be smarter than other countries' students. The problem with that is students cant even afford to go to school because of the high prices!
Next on my rant: gas prices.
What the hell do these oil people think they are doing. Do I look like I am made of money? How about no. I am broker than broke, just like all other students. I cant even afford to drive to school now, let alone pay the god damn tuition. We need to do something. These prices are too high. Unless we stand up and say hey im not paying that fucking price they are just going to keep raising it. Its time someone started a protest.
