Hi,
My name is Bailey and I’m a second year student in college. Im majoring in conservation and environmental biology. I just got my first apartment on my own, but I somehow miscalculated the tuition when applying for my loan. So, when I asked to get my unsubsidized and subsidized loans out, they told me they were already applied to the cost of attendance. I’m already working 5 days a week and struggling with my classes and I wont be able to pay rent without these loans since I already have other payments to make. Ive been working non stop since highschool and its really taken a toll on my grades. With that said I dont get many scholarships for grades and its very difficult to keep up with. My fafsa also doesnt help me a whole ton because I’m paying for college myself and I had to put my parents information in as well. Im planning on selling handmade jewlery to get some extra money, but it wont be able to get me by. For the past 4 weeks I’ve barely even been able to afford groceries and I’m ruining my credit since I havent gotten paid yet and I have had to get stuff ready for my apartment. Its just really frustrating and I dont know how a missed such a big chunk of the cost. My loan was supposed to cover me for rent so I could just focus on my car payment and other things. I currently make 16 an hour, but its not nearly enough and I cant afford to work more unless I want to fail out of college. I havent been able to find a job that pays more and fits with my class schedule. Along with that, we’re all human and I’m sure everyone just wants to be able to do things they enjoy. I’m tired of my life being just work and school. I love playing guitar and cello, just being outdoors and adventuring, creating art in whatever means I can (I’m not the best, but hey as long as I’m having a good time that’s all that matters). I also love reading, butas of lately I just havent had much time to do any of that and its taken a toll on my mental wellbeing. My rent is about 800 a month and Im trying to find scholarships that meet my critera, but rent is due on the first so I wouldnt recieve any of these in time. Any help would be much appreciated:) my paypal link is https://paypal.me/baileylaszlo?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
