Well.. the only complaint I can mention in my life right now is thinking about college. Everytime I think about it, I feel stressed out. Mostly because of money issues. Plus I haven't learned to drive yet, but I was thinking of just getting a job close by. That way I could just walk there instead of driving. But anyway, then there is the part of getting to college. One of my friends that goes there has oftened to give me rides to school. Then usually afterward I would have to take the bus home. Not fun, but I have no other choice. The only reason why I haven't started college is.. money. It's expensive, there is no doubt about that. (Moezy-chan knows, or anyone here that even goes to college) I'm going to take three classes, even then it's going to be pricey.
So.. really, it's just one thing piles up after another. My other friend, who gets rides from the friend I mentioned before, has this idea like it's easy to get register for college. As though it's some piece of cake. She really annoys me, always saying that I should register and blah blah blah. Sheesh, she thinks I'll never get it done. She just doesn't understand and it angers me. I don't know to explain myself either because she'll find some way to be like " oh, well... you can just do this.. " or whatever. Gahh. ><

^ Everything you said is true Genki_Girl-chan. It is VERY expensive, and I don't mean just the tuition. >.< And you do have reason to be stressed. It's not easy to get into college, and even if you get in and get a grant for tuition, the matter of books comes up. I payed almost $500 just this semester on books. I'm assuming your parents won't help you, and that makes it all the more difficult.
I might suggest a loan, which is how I can afford to go to college. Since you live in the states the rules that come with a loan are probably similar to what I have to abide by. If you choose to do this make sure that the loan is Subsidized, opposed to Unsubsidized.
If you get a subsidized loan, they'll fund you for the entire year. Each year you have to renew it. 6 months after you graduate you'll have to start making payments. Since that can be expensive you'll want to make sure that the loan is consolidated. As for getting an unsubsidized loan, you don't want to get that because you have to pay it while you're going to college. >.< This is what usually confuses new college students, and they end up dropping out.
I hope that I gave some help for you, and hopefully you'll be able to come to a good solution.

If I knew the answer to that I wouldn't need...the ten thousand different escapes I have from my mother... But I can totally offer some support and empathy. Moms can be brutal.

That's right... I don't need a model mom, just to understand certain things with a more open mind... -_-
