So confused!!!!
Maybe i’m emotional cause my period is coming soon. Or maybe it’s the fact that i still don’t know what i’m going to do as far as school is concerned. I already applied to 2 universities in Canada as my back ups but I want to stay here so my mom is not alone in raising my little sister. I wish that she would just move back too but she prefers living in the U.S. I also gotta be honest with myself. My boyfriend is another major factor for me wanting to stay here. I just want to give us a real shot and see how far we can go. I never imagined that we would last this long and be as strong as we are today. I just don’t want to leave and regret it, you know?
I applied to a private college in Orlando but that’s going to cost me money. Plus, as of May, i’m going to be unemployed. If I can’t find a new job, then i wont be able to buy a car and i’ll have no way of going to school. Taking the bus to UCF is brutal but to be honest, I dont want to go to UCF. It’s not that great of a school (apart for their terrific engineering programs). Life is just so confusing. I could try to stay here but, to be honest, I just feel like giving up. If I claim my own taxes and declare my scholarships, they might screw me over again this year on the FAFSA and say that my father and i make too much. But filing my own taxes is my only chance of at least trying to get myself declared as independent. It’s like a catch 22. I’d be taking such a big risk for something that is not guaranteed.
I might try to contact UCF and see how I could maybe get declared independent. See what the minimum income I had to make last year, see if I meet the requirement and then try. My friend also told me to apply to USF because they give out tons of money in transfer scholarships but i’d have to pay for my room and board AND find a job in Tampa. But they have such a great biology program! ANd they’re starting up a pharmacy program in addition to all their allied health professions.
I dont even have the 66$ it’ll take for 2 applications (for USF and UCF) and to have my transcripts sent. This is giving me a huge headache…
I wish I could get a sign that would point me in the right direction!
