Today, I discovered that I don't have enough financial aid to continue going to college past this semester. I'm one semester away from graduating. FML
MyLifeSucksSoHar_fml tells us more.
OP here. To further clarify my situation, I'm working two jobs on top of being a full-time student and it's still not enough. The problem is, the government insists that a person with two jobs should have enough to pay for college so they've reduced the amount of money I can get - never mind that since I only have a high school diploma, I can only get minimum wage. Plus, I don't have any credit established - so I can't get any other loans.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I don't know much about colleges, but can't you take a temporary break to earn some money and then return for that one semester?

Dude, minimum wage jobs on top of being a full-time student? I pile on any more stuff on to plate and I think I'll have a nervous breakdown.

Says a 57 year old who obviously doesn't understand what's to be done to even scrape through school nowadays...

I have a professor that said he worked part time through college and graduate without debt. The cost of college has risen so much that working part time won't cover housing typically. Considering tuition is at least that much for the cheapest college this is impossible to do without scholarships or loans. I have a full ride but I am lucky I'm smart enough and try to do well academically.
