College is just so darn expensive! Being a student, you have to worry about bills, insurance, books, etc. Then, when you plan on going to college, you have to add on for your tuition, and room and board, and then for your gas, and other misc. expenses. It just doesn't stop!! It's scary when you want to go to college and yet know that you can't afford it. If you can't afford it, what is the usual answer? Take out a loan! But wow, do you really want to take out a loan? Yes. Because this is your education we're talking about.

So now it brings me back to the question of why college is so expensive, and if the world is so adament on making students go to school to have a career, then why is it so expensive to go about it? Students should be focused on their academics, not focused on how we should pay off our education. It's stressful enough to have to worry about our studies but to add the pressures in paying it off when we're done is crazy!

Why are books so expensive these days? And why is tuition so high? Why oh why do we have to pay a high price for having goals, ambitions, and plans for the future? It's like their is a price to pay when we want to make something of ourselves... and that price, is debt.
