It's come to the time, where I'm realizing summer is almost over. I only have a few weeks and then I have to start college. As much as I try to deny it to everyone, I am SCARED. I'm not ready for big people life. I know this is the start of me having to grow up and soon I will have to do everything fo myself. I'm scared to death.
Not to mention everything with my college stuff has gone wrong. They at first never recieved my transcript to see if i was eligable for any type of help. Then they recieved it and apparently the classes I had to take during the summer last year to actually get my credit for my history class was not on there so they were putting me in as a tech student instead of a college prep student. After we got that fixxed, we had another problem. This is the one that makes me maddest of them all. The papers I got with my class rank and gpa were right or wrong, who knows, because the two definately dont match up. Apparently I was in the top 15% of the class, but apparently I'm not able to get any help because the GPA that I had was supposed to be a straight 4.0 because it was waited, and then with just the classes that applied to anything I had a 3.4, but on my transcript its showing im in the 2's. Wha the crap? I am so tired of this stuff already. So yeah, I dont get any help and I can't start of with the major I wont. I'm going to have to start out with a certificate program and then next semester swap over. I have to do that to build my gpa up. It's so STUPID!!! I was also supposed to get a half scholarship because both of my parents work at the school and they have yet to give me that. My parents were seeing about that this week, because everybody elses kids have gotten it, so they want to know the deal.
I never knew this stuff would be this hard, exspecially when your parents work there at the school and are there with the people everyday of the week. It's so messed up. Sometimes if I knew I wouldnt get turned down for all my medical problems, I would just go join the military.
Now I'm trying to figure out whether I should get a job on top of all this.

Carie,
I'm sorry that you're having so many problems! I hope they get resolved so that you can just focus on being a college student!
That sucks that you're having so many problems with the school's financial aid. I definitely understand - my medical school's financial aid department makes no sense to me sometimes. But I am sure that you will love college - you will meet so many cool people. Just make sure to go out to orientation events and stuff the first few weeks - you'll be so busy with fun stuff that you'll forget how scary and different it is! And trust me, everyone else is as nervous as you are, even if they won't admit it. (Can you tell that I was an orientation leader at my college?)
Hi,
Found you at my daughter site Noelle, Little bits of me. You'll do great in school, they are the ones who messed up you didn't! I have been working on my degree since the 90's and am 30 credits away! I was off fours years and am returning now with a stinkin 5-0 birthday in September! So.. my point is this, it is the best thing you'll ever do! I had to go through hoops to return and I'm kinda nervous! But at my age i'l be proud to say I finally did it! You'll have to keep this mind set that all those clerical errors was someone elses mix up and not yours! Good luck! Lori
too funny that my mom posted above me!! lol
you will do great, just keep your head up!!!
Good luck. When it all gets settled down you might like it. College is so much better than high school. :)
