So life this last couple of weeks have been insane. And I really mean that. You wouldn't truly understand unless I went into great detail over what's going on with me, but I'm actually not at liberty to do so right now. And the way things are going, who knows if I'll ever be able to reveal exactly what's going on with the people I love, and as a

Dude. That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear about this. Is NYU financial aid of no help at all?

Best of luck.

I went to the financial aid office as soon as I knew my loan was denied (Tuesday, the 6th) and they basically told me I was fucked. They gave me a list of loans that I could apply for (which I had already at the time done 5/8 and been denied ALL of them), and said that I basically needed to get a cosigner. That was my only option. The fucker in the window even said to me, "Sorry there's no 'magical solution' for you." I wanted to punch him in the face. Instead, I cried.

Thanks, love.

Well ... fuck.

That really, really sucks, Kat. I know how much you've enjoyed New York. I know there's not much I can say that will be of much solace, but I do wish you the best of luck.

Have you looked into any loans from sources outside of the school system? Like, maybe a loan with your bank? I know it's not much, but they might have more options, and it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

Yeah. Fuck sounds about right.

Thanks, dahlin.

I had been researching private loans outside/apart from my school, and all of them require cosigners or really good credit. And while I have good credit, it's just not enough. I was told that applying for the loans that my school has longstanding relationships with would be easier for me to get, SPECIFICALLY because I go to NYU. Funnily enough, one of those loans actually was with my bank, Bank of America. I applied, and was denied. I swear, if I'm ever denied anything for the rest of my life, it'll be too soon. I feel like I've been denied enough not only for me but also about half of the NM population.

Okay. Well, my next suggestion is to start researching scholarships and grants. Which is also tough, because the former, individually, doesn't amount to much, and the latter may be more difficult to acquire because you are out of state. But at least it's something, and if you can get enough scholarships going, you can at least fund your first semmester.

You're going to be in my thoughts these next few days. And I hope you don't mind that I'll be including you in my prayers, even though you don't neccesarily believe in it (fates, god ... they all pretty much amount to the same thing, right?) My mother is always praying for petty things, as if she were making a business transaction with "God." But it's really these kind of things that are more prominent in the end.

Nevertheless, you'll be in my thoughts, and I wish you luck.
