Oh, no! What happened?!?!
Hoo boy, this is complicated.
I’ve been attending college for a long time.
When I started, I was a music major, and in my fourth year, I decided to switch to business. As you can imagine, music stuff doesn’t really translate to business stuff, so besides Gen-Eds, it was almost like starting over, and I accumulated a lot of credits.
Then, in August of 2010, my mother had a stroke.
I attended school in September with a normal schedule, but the next semester I took fewer classes, and the semester after that I only had one class. And then I withdrew to take care of my mom full time.
In 2013, I applied and was accepted to another university closer to home. Everything went fine, except last semester, I was informed that because I have so many credits and haven’t graduated yet, I wasn’t going to get financial aid until I jumped through some hoops to address why I hadn’t graduated yet with the amount of credits I have.
I jumped through the hoops, but by the time everything got processed, the university told me they still couldn’t give me financial aid that semester and that I’d have to find alternative means to pay the balance. I haven’t been able to find any.
Mind you, this whole time, I haven’t said anything to my parents because my dad likes to fly off the handle and even at the age of 28 I’m terrified to tell him when I need help because he likes to make me feel bad about everything.
Except I just got something in the mail saying a levy has been put on my checking account and I have 21 days to pay my tuition balance or I have to go to court. I owe close to $8,000.
So, I have to tell my dad. I have been panicking all day.
