College applications? I can't afford college.

Why not?

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

Because most of my time and money goes to taking care of my brother. College would just get in the way.

No one can. That's why everyone takes out like fifty billion dollars in loans.

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

Can't get a loan! No one to co-sign, and I'm just a lowly kid, blah blah blah. Either way, can't afford the time for it either.

Scholarships and loans are your friend.

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

It isn't just money. I can't afford the time. I have to bring home a steady income too.

Perhaps you should lie on your application and say that you're a starving orphan boy from Poorlandia who wants nothing more than some higher education. Can you make up a language real quick? And, you know, a country?

A country'd come in handy, for the interview, when they ask you about this mythical "Poorlandia" that you're from, since "Poorlandia" isn't a convincing name.

I'll be your king, if you like. *he winks at leland, taking a sip from his slushee*

Uh, yeah well I am a poor orphan, so it isn't exactly a lie. But I can't afford the time it takes to do college either. Maybe a night class or something.

But my brother is still in High School, and I want to focus on him for now.

College is such a waste of time.

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

Waste of money too.

[death-isnot.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm going!

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Seems a bit of a waste of time and money, to me.

Do you qualify for assistance?

[avengemyfather.livejournal.com]

...I make less than ten grand a year and support my brother. Yeah, I qualify. But it isn't just the money. It is the time and the energy. I just have more important things to think and worry about right now.
