Waking up everyday this semester has made me realize that college is coming way sooner than I had imagined. June 3 is my school's graduation date. To think that I have so much to get done by that date is very overwhelming. I have started working on scholarships and it seems like it isn't working. I sign up for the scholarships, enter the correct information and send the essays in, but I don't feel as if they are becoming successful. I sent in this paper for Bright Futures and I'm not sure what to do next. I guess I'm scared to ask my guidance counselor, who i'm not sure if she really knows what she is doing or not, to see if I screwed up something so big. If it was something benign I would not mind as much. But this is college stuff. COLLEGE. The part of life that determines the rest of my life. I want to be successful. I want to get some place in this life. If I can't afford it how can I go? I want to avoid student loans as much as possible. With parents getting on my case to do these scholarships i've been getting even more stressed than I make myself. This year is definitley not going as smoothly as I had hoped it to.
Back to scholarships. Enjoy your Tuesday evening!
I definitely understand your stress!!!! I've applied for scholarships too. I actually applied for this one and it said I couldn't turn in my essay because it needed an internet source. I have NO CLUE what that means! I tried a million times, even on different computers. So I just gave up. Oh-well what can I do. Just try not to stress too much. You don't want to give yourself a heart attack-that would be bad. haha. (My parents stress me out too. It doesn't matter what it is!!! They need to stop pressuring us, it;s as bad as peer pressure!
It wouldn't accept your essay because you need an internet source. As in your bibliography. You need to have some sort of website from which you got some information. Try citing a webstie and turning it in again.
I graduate on June 6. It's torture. I filled out FAFSA forms at my college today, but because my parents haven't filled out their tax papers yet, I didn't get to fill them out completely. I apply to every scholarship I can. There are two or three I am applying to through my college. Are you a member of fastweb?! It really helped me find applications that are relevant to me. I can choose and pick the ones I want. I'm not interested in neuroscience, so I choose to delete the one where I have to write a 500 word essay on it. lol But I can def. relate to you here. It's tough. I agree. But try not to stress too much. I've been there. Now I have mild depression. ha The irony. Just try to have fun once in awhile and let that stress out.
I appreciate it! Ah I need to get on FAFSA too! I forgot about that one. lol. I need Bright Futures as well. It's very crazy! It's all coming to an end so fast! I have a mild depression too now, from all the anxiety, so I can relate for sure to that one! lol. Thank you and good luck! :]
