Money Doesn't Talk

Right now, I'm feeling very stressed. Why you may ask? I messed up a little bit when it comes to my college finances, and now I'm worried that I won't get the money to pay for college. You see, I filled out my FAFSA, I got some grants, and I got some student loans. Well, having no idea what the fuck I was doing, I accepted all the grants and declined all the loans. Now, I got a big ass bill, I just find out that I'm not going to get all my grants at once, and I'm sitting her freaking the fuck out.

The real bullshit here is the support. Who ever the fuck designed the process for FAFSA, missed out one little fucking detail, most teens are going to fill it out themselves. I'm one of many unfortunate teens who have parents who can't speak English well and are unable to take care this for me, no, I have to do this shit myself. This whole FAFSA process is just stressful and could be redesigned for it to be a much smoother process. For everyone reading this, I'm not a person who can work with what is given to him. This is how it is with everyone, well most of the world population. I need to be showed what to work and I repeat, and overtime, I get better at my job and grow. It's like teaching a baby to walk, it's not going to learn how to fucking walk by itself!

Here's how it should be done...

Instead of filling out the complicated FAFSA online, why not have someone do it for you at the college or university you intend on going. Every high school student would receive a slip of all the necessary items to bring to the person working on your FAFSA, in this case I'll call the person working on your FAFSA a counselor. Also, your parents/guardians must be with you at all times, this provides support and comfort for you. The counselor would fill out the required information, and he/she will send it to the necessary destination. If for some reason a student is unable to bring his parents/guardians, then he/she will be granted to do it online.

When the FAFSA is processed, you and your parents/guardians would be called to make an appointment to come in and help decide to agree which grants (I assume you would accept all), and which loans to accept. This way, everyone is informed of whats going on and there is no need to panic like I do. Plus, your parents are involved and you feel much more secure about your future, unlike I do at this moment.

But see, the world doesn't think like I do. For some reason, it is always complicating things. That's what I don't understand. It doesn't have to be rocket science, it can be easy as 1-2-3, but people opt-out of this, and I don't understand why. As for what the fuck I'm going to do, I'm going to have to schedule an appointment with my Adviser to help me through this bullshit and I'm going to have to call the Welcome Center, a place on my campus, and try to be able to reverse the loans that I declined. I'll keep you all updated as to what happens.
