omg.

cue panic attack as cim realizes for the first time that student loans mean paying a lot of money once a month and if you don't you get in trouble.

why did no one make sure i grasped the scariness before i signed up for college? it's not like, 'then you're out of college, and it doesn't start until you have a job, and don't read the fine print, because that doesn't ever happen,' which is what i thought. it's six months after whenever you un-enroll for any reason.

also, does anyone know where i would get a copy of my w2s or why the school doesn't have them already? i didn't think so, as it was my dad who took care of them.

but! there's almost no interest, and you have years and years to pay them off, and you'll have a job and it'll be okay I promise! [pet pet]

the thought of student loans scare me. everyone needs like a rich dead aunt to put them through college or something. *hides from past-due paperwork*

Utter irrelevancy.

Hi.

YOU MADE ME OBSESSED WITH LEGOLAS/GIMLI.

I have read, like, every piece of it I can find, starting with "Time" and ending with everything on Library of Moria.

Do you have any more links other than those on your recs page, cos I've been through all of them and I need more and *whimpers* I'm such a pervert.

hi.

no worries

Ah, you're making me nostalgic. Don't worry, soon instead of being frightened of your student loans, you'll just feel heavy as if you're carrying the dead-weight of a huge albatross around your neck for years. Welcome to the club of the overly-educated debtors! Have a drink and a cigar (although you can't afford them).

My one bit of advice: get your loans consolidated into one low interest loan (try for 5% or less) with at least a 10 year payback. Then pay more than your monthly payment whenever you can afford to do so.
