I'm in the last few stages of the college application process.
So far I have been accepted to four of my eight schools. I'm still waiting for the last four schools to give me a decision.
Out of the four schools, two of them where my top two choices. One a pretty small artsy hippie private school, the other a small boheminan feel public school.
And I'm proud to say I'm pretty damn please of myself. My guidance counselor told me that with my GPA and SAT scores I should stick with community college. I can't wait to tell her on Monday I got accepted to more than one school and that one school even gave me a scholarship.
That will show her 
Anyway, the next gruesome part is this never ending process is how I'm going to pay for my next four years of education. Supposedly my mother makes too much money for me to have suitable financial aid. Which I believe is total bullshit. My mom will have to pay for me and my brother as well to go to college. And get this_at the same time! There's no way the government can claim my mother alone can pay for two college tuitions.
Some how they will throw my father in the mix, even though my father is not involved in life and barely gives enough child support as it is. But it won't matter, he makes a pretty good amount of money a year so a combination of his and my mother means that the government will screw me over even more.
The point of this rant...because my parents make a decent salary and wanted my brother and I to have a better life the government will try to hindered my chances on affording college. You see they are tooo busy giving out grants and financial need to students who have nearly nothing. Which in reality makes sense. However, at the same time, why should a student with a C average get a free ride just because they are from a low income upbringing? Than there are the people whose parents are filthy rich and can afford for them to go to any college of their choosing. To me it just seems like the middle and upper middle class gets screwed over ever time.
And don't even get me on the economic situations. That is the main reason why I am ranting in the first place.
So my options are to opt for a pretty cheap public school, which at this moment seems pretty reasonable or take the chance at a smaller private college. All I know is that right after college I will be dead broke, a struggling journalist, in major debt, and probably homeless.
