I had to mail out a new transcript request form to DMACC today because my History credits from this past summer did not transfer correctly. Because of this, I now have to register on a completely different day and I truly hope it does not hinder my ability to get into the classes I want to be in. I have to be positive about this. It is just a schedule. Nothing less. Nothing more.
I have decided that I am going to take 18 credits next semester. This may be a bad idea, but if I do this now, I can take 15 the rest of my semesters, have two majors and a minor, and graduate on time. I think this is the correct thing for me. I may absolutely hate next semester, but that is okay with me for right now.
Talking to my roommates today, I found out that they each get so much more financial help than I do. I know that the FAFSA has significantly helped me out, but otherwise I am in this alone. I am going to have loans out my ears by the time I graduate, and I hate that feeling. I just wish I could have known before I started college just how expensive this would be to me. This may have helped if my parents hadn't lied to me about helping me out in college. Then I wouldn't have gone to such an expensive one.
However, I do not need to be down about this. I should be proud that I am paying my way through college without any help at all. That is a true feat in life. While some people get everything handed to them, I get to learn how to value what I have. While some people sit around and do nothing, I work 3 jobs and take the maximum amount of credits to get the most our of my education. How can I be upset about that? Sure, now it seems that I am stressed, but It will all be worth it in the end. I am sure of it.
