I talked to a financial aid advisor yesterday. Basically told me what I already knew: no way in hell is the government loaning me any money for culinary, since my parents both make enough to "support me" (even though they have their own shit going on, not that it's any of my business) What I neglected to realize is that most of the private

Spring is making you buckets.
You said yourself that your Dad is working this summer so that you can work this summer. If you want to save money on rent, move back home for the summer so you can save for Portland.
Also, no credit is far better than bad credit and you might talk to your mom in regards to finding a lender. Wait until you've been at your summer job for a while, because that will reflect a high income summer job and lenders might be more inclined to help knowing you have a good job to fall back on?
Another option is taking a smallish loan and asking your parents to co-sign.
You should find time to dine out today. Everybody's gotta eat, right?

I might be able to go back home for most of the summer, but I have to give notice before I move out. Also...living with someone you work with can be...bad, so I don't think I'll do that

I'll buy both of you dinner, as I very much have to eat, but also like to do it with fun people.

The time you'd be spending at home would be mostly sleep anyway, but I can see your point.

And good for you! Your loan plan seems logical as long as you don't go overboard. You have a lot of friends that can tell you all about school-debt.

I would have bought you dinner as you're such an awesome friend, if you hadn't resorted to shouting. I'm already buying a co-worker lunch, after all. Besides, I hear it's Scottie's Birthday. You can come to dinner if you're not doing a family thing and you're willing to drive Anna and myself, but you should have family time wit yo bro.

Be happy.
