college is a fucking scam. there's no fucking reason i should have to pay $1200 of money that i don't have as a 19 year old trying to balance helping my parents out financially and paying them rent at the same time because the college decided to refund the $1100 i had already paid due to their own mistake. i can't access the refunded money of course, since a refund that large can't go through that quickly, and with admission having started yesterday it just feels hopeless. i can't even as much as ask the financial aid office for guidance because i get an automated response saying that they're busy and unable to reach out at the time, which is total bullshit. if you are going to play with students' finances and their literal futures, you should have enough people and time and should have done enough preparation to attend to said students' needs. i've worked so hard to get to where i am and to think that it would be taken because of something i can't control makes me feel hopeless.
