WTF???

Ok so today is like the worst day of my life...

...Well not really, but pretty close.

Did anyone who is reading this know that there is a limit on the amount of financial aid you can receive?? That is the dumbest thing, right? If you earned it, it's yours, right? Ugh, wrong I guess. Apparently I was overawarded, which is the University's fault if you ask me. They figured out my refund check amounts, not me. So, now I OWE money. It's like they gave me the money and now they are taking it back. OOOkay, and I spent it. So, that's really great. And the only way I can get around it is prove I have medical bills, or rent, or something equal or more than the amount they are asking me to give back---which I don't. But that is the only way they can raise my "financial aid limit".

I am so pissed I can't even think. Like I have holds on my grades and I can't register until I pay this money back. Or I can fill out some form giving them permission to take the amount out of my refund for next semester, which I will probably HAVE to do. But I still think it's bull shit. I mean how do they expect to tell me this when the semester is almost over. And couldn't they have figured out that my award amount was over the limit before they sent me the refund in the first place. It makes no sense. But I have calles TSAC and I have been to Wilder to talk to someone. I don't have any other options. And this is really something they do. I didn't even know they could limit your aid. I mean, who can decide how much aid I need?? And if it was awarded to me, who gets to decide it's too much?? Just because it's not going to the school??

It's ludicrous. And I am outraged. And we are out of chocolate ice-cream. ugh!! All I can say is "What the fuck???"

That is so dumb. How can they do that? If that happened to me my mom would be up here bitching some people out for sure! That is crazy. Sometimes these people just don't really know how to run things....it's ridiculous!

That's really stupid. Schools like this don't give a damn about their students or their personal lives, they just want enough money so they can magically transform from "Tiger High" to some big research university. WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I'm sorry :(
