The Eternal Puts The Lotion On Its Skin

And as for the idea of being [censored], I am not a fan, because if someone said, [censored], it will be so bloody confusing. NSG, I want my minutes of my life back. Since October 2009.

[Fumonoxii]

I know that feeling. Well, not getting picked up, but getting dumped.

Anyhow, it's good to hear that you've escaped the bonds of depression. Hopefully my post-breakup... whatever this is leaves soon.

I hope so too for you, Tsars.

The depression was short, but it was tough. But it's gone, so it's good.

With any luck, Comrade. With any luck.

Just wondering if anyone has been/is in the same boat I am concerning college finances. The government estimates my family should contribute $36,000 towards my college education. I'm getting $12,000. Need based scholarships and loans are not avalible, leaving me with merit based scholarships (all of which total to less than $5000 pet college) and the high rate unsubsidised loans.where should I look next for aid? I was told by my dad about the whole "Well I worked through college and joined AFROTC, you should be able to too." ROTC is not an option. Neither is going to a community college. Any suggestions?

I feel your pain I was there too, broke but officially not broke enough for enough aid. Now if I had popped out kids and remained unmarried I could get a free ride or if I was a different skin color I might get the money needed... grrr. I just sucked it up and took the loans and now I will be paying them off probably until I die. The system really sucks. You can try looking up what types of state aid might be available to you. Here in New York I was able to get into a TAPS award for a few semesters... you can google financial aid for *insert state name* and see what shows up... not sure what else to say except I sympathize.

State aid doesn't help. Although the state schools I'm looking at give me resident tuition, that's due to my parents. As a resident of Florida I get no such aid. Plus that's need based, I have no need according to the government.

I refuse to do military service. Not only do I not have the streingth, coordination, nor mental capacity to do it, I refuse to on moral grounds.

Meh. I won't call you a traitor for it (to your face). But, if you cannot afford it, and cannot take any of the other options, one idea would be to wait, or not go at all.

Allready explained why no to waiting. Parents are forcing me to go but aren't financing me too extensively. Do they even know how much it costs nowadays?

*cuddles*
I appreciate it.

Mhm, not a problem.

*cuddles more*

You're awesome. I think I'll head to bed and have this happiness carry me through the night.

With any luck, Comrade. With any luck.

I hope.

Enough of my romantic woes. None of this will help me achieve my ultimate goal of ruling the world as a benevolent dictatorship.

Do I get a cabinet position?

[San Leggera]

Dammit! I wanted to go to 1.000 billion before 1.001 billion!

[Auremena]

UM is $27000 (including room and board), no scholarships. OSU is $25,000, then a $3000 merit scholarship, along with nearly guaranteed acceptance. But out of my 9 schools on my list, it's #9, a backup. Stanford is my #1, acceptance is uncertain though. $60,000 a year, $25,000 merit scholarship.
Living on my own, not an option. I'm a conesour, I won't live that long without any of my fancy things.

What about a public college or university in your state so it won't be that expensive?

I get in state tuition at those...
Plus I want to be different. Everyone is going to USF, UCF, FSU, or UF here. I want to be a stand-out, going to a prestigious university.

You have to take back seat to me, comrade. I will rule first.

Standing out is great and all, but if you can't do it, you can't do it. Gotta learn that you can't have everything you want in the world. It doesn't work that way.

Yeah, I generally have that effect on people.

Did you think of starting off in state and then transfering?

I've never had anything truly my way. Just for once I wanted to start it with this.

UF is a really good school, and very hard to get in to.
I really don't see what is special about UM, but I am pretty sure there are other really good private colleges like Rollins.

I don't want to.

But if it makes the most sense economically, you might have no other option.

I'm willing to settle for Europe.

If you want something to go your way, start by making it a more realistic goal.

Cool. I call ambassador to Hath's realm.

Never will go in state. Ever.
UM = University of Michigan. Public state school.
