College what whaaat

Sat Sep 12, 2009, 3:37 PM
hey peeps!

sooo i'm in college. have been for about a week now. my classes are sick, aside from the dfact that i just spent over $300 on supplies for class. recommendation: DO NOT take up fashion design for a major, unless you want to watch all of your money quickly slip away. i guess it's worth it in the end, considering i LOVE my classes. they're absolutely fantastic. i've even developed a minute boston accent. my aunt was right about that one >.>;

hopefully i can scan in what i've been up to lately. i still need to call the IT tech people about my printer, because no matter what i do it won't scan or print. it's slowly driving me insane haha. but less about the annoying stuff, more about college life!

my dorm = my sanctuary. it's absolutely gigantic, and has air conditioning and a bathroom. intense. i managed to bring my entire wardrobe of clothes (which, may i add, is A LOT of clothing) and i still have sooo much more storage space. i have a kitchen, and a window seat which is amazing. i share my room with one roomie, and she's totally chill. we like the same music, and that's really all i care about xD. i'm on the first floor, which is the only downside because people are silly. windows aren't for climbing through, theyre for looking out/in. use the door, people, really!

the food is ehh. nothing special, but it's not too bad. if i want to make anything remotely healthy i can just go up to the stove and cook. not bad, not bad at all.

i'm missing my boy more than ever, and i wish he were here. that would make my life complete lol.

but so far so good. great people, fun times, and unique and fascinating classes keep me entertained. i'll get back to you on the whole printer/scanner bit. hopefully you will be impressed by what i have done thus far ;P
thanks for all your support and DA love; i'll be in touch!

omg yeah college sucks! They love taking your money away. Especially with nursing this semester, my textbooks cost almost $700 (JUST for this semester) and then they made us pay another $205 for some other book and program along with an extra nursing fee of $35 per credit (so $525) not to mention the scrubs and other nursing related supplies which came to about $100+. I had to buy a parking permit for $100 too which I do every year anyway. They have sucked me dry I swear!! Plus tuition for the school had gone up $3000 to begin with. I need to get way more scholarships next semester or I won't be able to afford it.

Tuition is $30000...I don't have to worry about staying on campus and having to pay for a dorm or a meal plan or else it would have been about 40000. Next summer we are required to take courses/clinical too which financial aid doesn't cover so I don't know what I'm supposed to do. =(

We haven't been able to afford real groceries for over a month. I've lost 11 pounds in less than 2 months and I'm already really tiny as it is (I dipped back down to 98 before I realized what was happening). I've been trying to gain it back or at least stop myself from losing more but I've been going up and down all week.

I have been trying to apply for private scholarships. I got a $1000 one but I haven't been applying lately because it's hard to write so many essays while in school already. I like to be free to do that.

YAAAY!!! So you like college then?

I like collge too. Its been 3 1/2 months. I started Aug 16th. It has been fun. I feel like a 3rd wheel and it almost feels like HS but better, less drama.

I know what you mean about the food ours is nothing either some days it is so awful I miss HS food xD Can you believe it?!

We take finals in like 20-something days I need to crack down I'm not failing any classes but I don't have too many As =/ that's my fault for being lazy but next semster I will keep my Az.

What classes are you taking?
