first it was taking an extra year to finish my undergrad, to get a minor and catch up on prereqs since i transferred and all. but now i might be taking a year off...ugh. i don't know what to do...would i really be motivated enough to go back after a year? (haha, after working full time at a job that has nothing to do with my major, and watching

I don't really know about VA but in Texas you can get really low interest loans as a student that you don't have to start paying off until 6 months after you graduate. I would definitly look into it and financial aid.

Thanks...I know a lot of people shy away from loans because it can take forever to pay off debt after school, but I guess it isn't such a bad idea.

I didn't know you still had a livejournal...I was thinking "Who is this random person?" Hope you're doing well:-)

Oh yeah I have one obviously I am going to add you. I am doing very well and I hope you are too!

i would take out a student loan before i took a year off of school. the interest rates are low and they are considered "acceptable debt." in other words, that type of debt won't hold you back from getting a house, car, new credit card, etc. it will also help out your credit score a bit.

that's not to say that you should accept every loan that is offered to you, but i know you won't do that. only take what you absolutely need.

Wow, I actually didn't know there was a difference between debt from student loans and other debt...that's really good to hear:-) I'm just freaking out about everything, because I didn't expect to have to worry about undergrad, y'know? And I don't qualify for federal aid but there's a chance I can appeal their decision.

I hate money!

i hate money, too! my school is so freakin' expensive. . . i dunno if grad school is gonna happen.

Do whichever one you think you can handle best. But you might want to graduate with all your friends.

[faeriegoddess]

Since I'm taking an extra year, most of my friends are graduating before me anyway, but that's a good point. I'm just going through a really bad time right now and I've honestly never done this poorly in school; but I have a feeling if I stopped for a while it would turn into forever. At the moment when I think "which could I handle best" the answer is really neither - I'm not very good at coping! I'm just glad it's almost time to take a break from everything for a while.

I hope everything's going well for you:-) Thanks for the comment, btw!
