heyyy folks, rising freshman here. i’m on the verge of starting college and today i’m putting my payment down, but what i thought was a $25,000 scholarship actually turned out to be a $2,500 scholarship. i can’t help but laugh at my misunderstanding and also cry like my family was proud of me, saw me accept the aid graciously and now, it’s only enough to cover my fall semester. if anyone could drop links to scholarships, i’d appreciate it tremendously!!
words can’t explain my pain and anxiety like i was so set in stone, but now with this new realization, i couldn’t help but cry and laugh at myself. I’ve always told people how fucked up it is to see young, gullible, and freshly released high school students turn into bankrupt adults. thankfully enough, I’ve done my research and hope to win even more scholarships, but right now i just wish time could freeze and allow me to mentally prepare for the challenges lying ahead! idk how i’m paying for books (first-gen student here) but it’ll happen, somehow lol.
any advice for this college student? please drop it down here, i’d appreciate it so much!
