I feel... I don't know. I feel like such a bitch writing this, and I know it's only my opinion that is formed by my own life experiences, but... college. And getting in, and making it affordable.
I know several people who are applying for dream schools, and yet they "can't go" because of finance issues. And that's all they talk about, and then complain about their own mediocrity and how they can't get scholarships because of that.
My opinion? Keep trying and stop complaining about it so much so you can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. There is always a chance, and there are always options, if nothing else works out. And if truly nothing works, there are always other schools. Don't pin all your hopes on one school, and don't think that it's the end of the world if you can't get there. But the point is, you have OPTIONS and you have CHOICES. Learn to work with those, and complain to me when you've exhausted all of those.
I made it into the best public school in the country because I worked to make it affordable. My grades were good enough for grants, I turned in at least 20 scholarship applications and only heard back from 2... I made it work out for me through a lot of sleepless nights and work, so why don't you try instead of whining about it?
