first day of college

I know, I know. I graduated in 2011, shouldn't I have headed off to college right after?

Well, yeah..

However, my family decided to move during that time frame... And seeing as I had zero support from them financially, I didn't think it was wise to jump into the whole debt thing right off just to get housing. 

So I decided to wait a semester before starting school and just live at home.

Stuff got complicated. College prices go down in a ridiculous way if you've lived in the state for at least a year. 

So I waited. And waited. And waited. 

And finally signed up for classes at Weber State University. I was gonna be a wildcat! I even painted my nails for the occasion. 

My dad was not happy with that. He thought going straight to a University was a stupid move and told me that I needed to look into the community college instead. 

Community College?

Perhaps the negative connotation that I seemed to have associated with community college had something to do with the only TV show that I regularly watch.

I applied to the school just to get my dad off my back. 

During my application process, I stumbled across a scholarship opportunity for the community college. Full tuition, say what?

Weber still wanted me to jump through a bunch of hoops to even get residency, which meant that my tuition was well over 4 grand. For TWO classes.

TWO CLASSES.

4 grand a semester, or free for the next three?

It wasn't a hard decision. 

It still breaks my heart that I'm not heading off to the dorms to start school.. But when was I ever involved in the social aspects of anything? Heck, I didn't even go to prom! 

So... 

Here I come!
