Well, I did the one thing that half the teachers and students from my school said I'd never do. Got into college.
Just today, I had my final Academic meeting, and I've been officially registered a student of the Community College of Vermont. And then after that I had the meeting with the Financial Adviser and found out that I'll be getting into $5,000 of debt each semester x.x
Granted, $5,000 isn't as bad as most kids have to pay for college. But the problem is, is that the only reason I originally signed up was because Financial Aid was supposed to cover all the costs. But since my school is Out-of-State, a lot of my aid doesn't cross over. Which is why I'm at that $5,000 mark. What's more is that there aren't any jobs in my local area, at all. I can try getting some Under the Table work, but that's usually iffy at best in terms of stability. And of course, I had to go through and read all the information about taking out my loans, and that just scared me more into not wanting to go through with it x.x
Money is really tight for me right now. I can't even pay to replace my phone, with a $150 discount =I. We can't even afford to fill up our oil for heat, I think we've only got a few weeks left of it at best x.x Last thing I want to do is to get myself into a bind that if I can't pay it off, I'll just start a giant spiral into even more debt =I. But the catch is, if I don't go to college, I get kicked out of the house. As much as I'm sure I can muster the courage to go through with this, it's a really hard thing to do right now. And I'm really not sure what to do x.x
