I did a yearly overview!!! My first page is very smushed but don't worry about it lmao. Pardon the religious stuff, Catholic school and stuff.

[flashstudying]

I got too far ahead in my notes in Business Communications, so we're talking about stuff I already wrote down. Which means quick picture of my rough notes and bujo. This whole; "going too far ahead with my notes" thing isn't gonna happen often lmao.

Studyblr Photo Challenge - Days 8-11 - OOTD, Revision, Bullet Journal, Today So I missed a few days so I decided to just combine everything together. Except outfit of the day, I wear a uniform, there is no point. Revised some communication notes. The chapter was really easy, but I wanna get into the habit of actually revising notes and I like what I did.

reblogging bc after I saw this last time I found out that I haven’t been getting my orphan’s benefit because of an administrative issue, not because I no longer qualify, and got a whole year of back pay

[gottacatchemsome]

Reblogging because I just got a letter in the mail that there is still some money in my 401k from the job I got pettily fired from and so I’ll be getting somewhere around $650 dollars, thereabouts, in about a month.  I MEAN WHAT.  Witches of Tumblr, my hat is off to you.

Studyblr Photo Challenge - Day 6 and 7 - Habits and Reading I'm currently trying to make a habit to read at least a chapter a day. Right now my main book is Maplecroft by Cherie Priest. It's really good, I recommend it a lot.

[flashstudying]

Studyblr Photo Challenge - Day 5 - Motivation This is a favorite study playlist of mine. I have, like, 2. One of my goals is to have 4 by the end of the month so I won't get bored.

[flashstudying]

Studyblr Photo Challenge - Day 4 - Before/After My first attempt at a bullet journal vs my current weekly spread I didn't know what I was doing with my first one. I just kinda used a pencil and notebook and it didn't work out, cause it wasn't visually interesting. I love what I did with this one.

[flashstudying]

Studyblr photo challenge - Day 3 - Study pace Moving my space to the kitchen because I heard studying on your bed is not 10/10. Actually before I did this post, I tried studying in the kitchen and it was kinda scary, cause I normally don't leave my room. That and I honestly didn't know what I was doing because we didn't have an actual lesson yet. But that's a completely different subject.

It’s Ya Girl’s College Scholarship Masterpost

Hello internet civilians! As some of you may or may not know, my name is Dana and I am a high school senior that is ALWAYS on the prowl for trying to get to college for as cheap as possible. I’ve come across 1000′s of scholarships that I simply don’t qualify for, so I thought “hey, why not share these with random people on the internet that don’t know where to start?” You asked the question and only answers you shall receive.

Please remember to credit me for this masterpost because I spent a lot of time and energy on it :)

PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT A SCHOLARSHIP IS WORTHLESS IF YOU DO NOT APPLY FOR IT. 

SO DO NOT JUST SAVE THIS POST IN YOUR DRAFTS AND NEVER USE IT. ACTUALLY WRITE AN ESSAY OR FOUR

SHAKESPEARE: END-OF-SEMESTER EXAM “A MOST LAMENTABLE COMEDY”

[flashstudying]

Studyblr photo challenge - Day 2 - New Schoolyear Thank God my actual first day was today!! Decided to do my first semester goals. Kiiiiinda stretching it with my anatomy goal, but I hate my classmates so I'm using that as a way to get me to ace out of the midterms. Because my science classes always have horrible classmates lol.

Filling out the FAFSA

The FAFSA, though incredibly important and essential, is difficult to fill out and understand sometimes. Hopefully I can clear up a few things and make the whole process easier. Right now your FAFSA should already be filled out, but if you are a senior in high school (or even if you’re already in college) it’s important to understand why you need to fill out the FAFSA as well as what it is.

What exactly is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is an application that is filled out to determine a students level of financial need. It must be filled out annually and contains numerous questions involving the college(s) you want to attend or are attending, the income of the students parents, if the student has drug violations, etc etc. Eligibility for aid is determined by the previous years tax return. 

Documents Needed

When the time comes to complete the FAFSA, make sure you sit down with your parents because you’ll need a lot of information from them. The things that you will need are: your social security number, your drivers license number (if you have one), alien registration number (if you are not a US citizen), records of investments (stocks and business assets), Federal student aid pin (you’ll create one), bank statements, records of untaxed income (child support, etc), and federal tax including your W2′s. 

Filling out the FAFSA as an independent 

To be an independent student on the FAFSA, you must fulfill certain criteria: either be 24 years old, be an orphan, be a ward of the court, be in foster care or ward of the court when 13 years or older, be an emancipated minor, be a veteran of the Armed Forces or serving on active duty, be a grad student, be married, or be a homeless youth. As an independent you are given more aid than a dependent. If you need to switch your status from dependent to independent, it is difficult but not impossible. 

Why should I fill this out?

Some people look at the FAFSA and decide not to fill it out because it’s too much work. Don’t be that person. More people are guaranteed aid than you think and filling out the FAFSA is free! (If you go to a site that wants you to pay for the FAFSA, it is a scam. The real website is https://fafsa.ed.gov/. The FAFSA application really only takes about 30 minutes to fill out if you have everything you need on hand. Don’t be discouraged. If you are afraid you won’t be eligible because your family has a good income, still fill it out. The FAFSA takes into account the number of people in your household as well as if you have other siblings in college. It only benefits you!

Still Confused?

If you are filling out the FAFSA and become confused, don’t worry! Often if you google it, other people have the same issue and there are answers. Websites such as fastweb help explain portions of the FAFSA and help you get through it. I hope this breakdown helped! Have any questions? Ask us!

My new novel dump because I ran out of space on the last one. I definitely like this one much better. Also, I don't know if I ever stated it I based the looks of one of my main characters; Javier, who's mentioned in this dump, after Rami Malek. That has literally nothing to do with anything, I just found the idea of Rami Malek and Skai Jackson ( who Anita's, the main character, looks are based off of) going to another planet funny.
