  • No cosigner, no credit, no money. How can I get back to school this semester?

    I'm currently in a serious financial pinch. Financial aid didn't come through with enough money this semester even though my mom just lost her job and my dad is in the process of declaring bankruptcy. Both of their credit is terrible, and as I am only 19 I don't have sufficient enough credit to be eligible for a loan. No one else in my family is willing or able to cosign for me so that rules out any kind of private student loan. I've already contacted the school and they've increased my government loans to the max and given me an emergency loan and I'm STILL short by almost eight grand. There are no more scholarships I can apply for and I am not eligible for a Pell Grant for whatever reason. There is no possible way my parents and I can afford to make the tuition payments on our own. Short of not returning this semester, I'm not sure what else to do. Does anyone know of ANYTHING that might help us out? I would be eternally grateful!

  • college admission essay help?

    I'm quickly approaching my deadline dates for my college applications and I have everything finished except the dreaded essay. Thus far, I've spent almost a week trying to compose a first draft and I'm having an extremely difficult time introducing my theme. The essay question asks for an essay about a fictional character who has influenced my life, and of course I've chosen Harry Potter. I know what I want to say, I want to discuss loyalty, determination, and integrity, but I just can't seem to put it into words. I've read some sample essays and the ones that I enjoyed the most had interesting topics, and they were funny, yet clever and intelligent, which is what I desire for my own essay. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how I could start it. I would really appreciate it if you did.

  • are there laws against petitioning?

    A bunch of our extracurricular activities at our school just got cut last night at our board meeting and my friends and i have been attempting to get signatures to appeal to the board to try and save them. As of right now we have over 100 signatures but they are mostly just students. there is a parade in our town on sunday and we had the idea that we could walk around and try to get people from the community involved to make a bigger statement. however, we are not sure if this is legal or not. it will just be a handful of students and possibly parents going around. it is all volunteer and we are not asking for money. are there any laws out there that would prevent us from being able to do this? thanks.

  • confused about this kid.?

    for a while i've liked this kid in my lunch and we've been friends since january when he moved here. he sits with us everyday, and everyday i catch him randomly looking at me but when he sees me catch him he looks away. sometimes we play apples to apples at lunch, which if you dont know is a card game that involves a judge, and im not going into detail cause its hard to explain. anyway he always chooses my card and when he does it he tries to make me laugh (he chucks them at me too along with other random crap that he picks up.) on the other hand he laughs at everything i do or say. he calls out my name really loud when he passes me in the hallway or when we're at a school function and some times he randomly pokes me or grabs me on my shoulders and tries to "steer" me around, lol. hes funny hes cute and i thought he was the one, until i found out that he has a girlfriend who happens to be one of my newer friends, first of all im really disappointed. i thought i finally had someone and now i cant have him. second of all im confused. why does he act like this if he has a girlfriend? i dont know how long they've been going out so it could be just a recent thing but i doub it because when i found out all my friends were surprised that i didn't know this. they all did. even still why does he flirt with me if hes had a girlfriend all this time? why do i still like him even though i found out about this? is he even flirting or just being a guy and i assumed he was flirting? is it normal to be disappointed? am i just overexargerrating because i like him? im confused and i dont know what to do. i dont want to break them up because i want him to be happy and shes my friend, plus thats mean. but at the same time when i see them together i get so...angry. its not like i play hard to get, but i never actually flat out told him i liked him either because i figured that would make things awkward plus i thought he was single so i figured he would catch on eventually, but now... i just dont know. maybe i was just imagining all of it in the first place.can someone give me advice? im confused and upset and angry and i dont want to hurt either of them but im afraid i will...

    ps. im sorry for my bad grammer and rambling and spelling errors. i cant think straight.

  • Fish is really sick but i don't know with what! please help!?

    my black moore is about 5 and a half possibly 6 years old. he has been sick for quite a while but i have know idea what is wrong. last summer his eye started to protrude and it was cloudy and i was certain it was pop-eye, but when we treated him for it several times it didn't go away. my aunt's fish had the same problem, she said it was just a sign of his age so we let it go for a while. but a few weeks ago he started acting real funny. he swims really lopsided and part of his belly is huge, but there is one part where there is a small bump and it bleeds from time to time. at first i thought it was dropsy or swim bladder but i don't think it is anymore because his scales dont stick up and he floats at the top of the tank, not the bottom. a few years ago his scales went from black to orange which the vet said was a sign of age too, but now part of his scales are a greenish black color. i feal horrible letting him suffer as i try to figure out what is wrong. i want to help him but i dont know how and with his age im not sure if there is much i can do. please help!
