It blows my mind...
Is the United States not supposed to be one of the leading countries economically? i realize that things are changing, and India and China, and the united European countries have promising futures; also with our disadvantages of certain military endeavors and political figures, but... d*mn. U.S. demands that minors attend high school, and it's getting to the point where most people can't get anywhere unless they've got a college degree, but college tuition is f*cking insane. It makes no sense at all that people have to sell their bodies and their souls in order to obtain college education- i can tell you that FASFA doesn't help worth sh*t, so it does seem to come down to selling skin. i can see maybe that the government is trying to keep its citizens stupid (big brother keeping the upper hand), because education is the key to power - the key to everything - but hell, i would say the majority of scholarly institutions are run by the government, so they can pick who they want to teach the Sheep (the masses, i include myself in this for now), and what the Sheep are being taught. It... enrages me.
So basically.... i can't return for 2nd semester to the college i was attending in the fall because my FASFA aid didn't cover the entire cost, and when i applied for private loans (even though the school councilors ensured me it didn't matter who i got to cosign), i was rejected because of my cosigner's credit. And my school is a wh*re.
i... hate this place.

I live in England and I've never been to America, so there is nothing I can really say other than "
