Hey, i just graduated from College this morning and so now my official degree is Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in History and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. This is just awesome. I know I'm not the only person graduating from somewhere this spring. I'll post pics when they get developed; I had a sweet Hawaiian shirt collar over my robe.

I would have graduated from university this spring.......if my life went according to plan. Right now, I'm in some sort of limbo regarding my future. I have some sort of plan as to what I want to do, but nothing concrete. Work is out of the question because I made a vow to myself after I graduated high school to not start work until I have wrapped up my education. So that leaves me returning to school. However, I'm gonna have to transfer to a 4-year school to continue my studies, since I've all but wrapped up studies at a junior college. In fact, last year, I was one credit shy of graduating with an associate's degree. The only thing that prevented me from obtaining that final credit was bureaucratic red tape. College is expensive ($7,500 for one year's tuition, w/o room and board) where I live, even for an instate student such as myself, and my dad is unwilling to pay for it. Also, I have no line of credit whatsoever, so student loans are out of the question. Getting there will also be a pain in the ass, since my state only has 2 public 4-year schools, and both are at least 20 minutes to a half-hour away from my house. On top of that, I still do not have a driver's license, nor have I even had the inclination at any point to get one. After all, what's the point of having one when you have nowhere to go? Finally, I also have this massive fear of rejection. Even if I do apply for a transfer at some point, I will be rejected, so really, what's the f*cking point if I already know what the outcome is gonna be?
Anyway, congrats to Dan and the rest of the class of 06, wherever you are.

Sounds like a lot of excuses, you need to just jump right in. I don't know anything about your situation, but unless you have some sort of horrible negative credit score and hoardes of unpaid bills, you WILL get a federal Stafford Loan. And at the least it should cut that tuition in half, and then there will also be independent loans available to you and your family on top of those. If you don't have to worry about room and board, I don't understand a problem, my dad hasn't paid for my actual tuition since my freshman year, he's just on top of the rent.
But again, I don't know your situation at all, but if you're adamant about completing your education I think you gotta just do it and worry about problem later.

make the calls, once every three months in all possible human resources desk. I did a bit of research, and my korean language thing might come pretty handy.
anyway, back on topic. congrats on graduating. and since you seems to have an experience with the financial stuff about college, I have a question that you can probably answer for me. how "reasonable" are the loans like FAFSA? I don't want to have to repay those tuition fees over my entire lifetime. all I know is that I'll have no trouble getting it, but that's about it.
The Stafford Loan interest rates are set by the government and are pretty reasonable. I mean, depending on where you go to school and how far you go into debt you can be paying them off for a long time, but it's just a necessary evil.
Despite massive bouts of drunkness, i know you did work hard for it
