My New Life
I just wanted to keep all of those who read my stories updated with my life. I graduated from Junior College in May. All summer, I was stressing out and working hard to come up with the money to apply to University. Finally, towards the end of June, I had the money that I needed to apply to Mississippi State University. I received my acceptance letter a few weeks after that and then there was more stress because I realized that I would have to miss the orientation to sign up for classes. Thankfully, I was able to get a hold of my advisor and she did what they call an open enrollment. I signed up for my classes online, but the stress still did not end for me. I am still waiting to see what textbooks I need for the classes. Financial Aid told me I would have to pay for them with my own money. I have been trying so hard not to take out a loan, but I might have too. I do have some grants and the Phi Theta Kappa scholarship, but it is not enough to cover everything. Things are just pretty stressful for me right now. I am no longer living at home. I have now moved into the dorm on campus. I am super miserable here. I don't mean to sound all cry babyish, but I am really family oriented, so I have never been away from my parents. We are a tight-knit family and I keep getting upset when I think about home. I spent quite a bit of the night and even some of today crying, because I want to go home, but I know that I need to pull through this. It's just a hard time with me being so far from home. I'm going to try to update my stories when I can. I just haven't been to motivated with how my life has been. Until next time, BYE. (Hopefully next time, I will have something happier to blog about).
