I put off writing this post as long as possible hoping that something interesting might happen today but to no avail. I overslept this morning missing my global gallery Coffee Shop volunteer time by about three hours.
Today is pretty much the deadline for FAFSA applications to the colleges I've applied to. I updated as much as I could by myself but at a certain point my custodial guardian (my mom) needed to fill out the rest. I started the updating process what feels like a month ago and told my mom that the rest needed to be filled in by March at the latest. Because the application is due before most people have filed their taxes its acceptable and necessary to guesstimate on most of the entered information. However seeing as my moms income fluctuates dramatically from year to year, its almost impossible to guesstimate anything, so she needed to do her taxes before updating the FAFSA. I would have seen no problem with this had she done her taxes in a timely manner but here it is March 1st at 8:00pm and her taxes may or may not be done and instead of doing the FAFSA she's sorting coupons while watching Old School. I understand that its alot to ask of someone to do their taxes early but its been weeks since my request and every time I ask her how its going she doesn't go into details or even say anything all she does is give me an annoyed look. On the off chance I'm accepted to a college and I'm not given financial aid (which I would desperately need) because my FAFSA hadn't been turned in on time, I'm the one whose going to be working several jobs trying to pay for school or even worst taking out a student loan.
Okay I'm finished ranting,
Until next time...
