My 2 brothers and I all went to college and didn't really pay for much. We paid for books, rent, gas and food. We had scholarships, grants, and work study to help pay for everything. My you get brother has a small loan, because he made a mistake with his money planning. He also transferred to a different, less expensive school, and with the economy the way it is, he and my dad are paying for his last 2 years themselves. The experience was amazing, I leanred a lot about my self and school stuff too.
Even with all that help, I'm debating if all my efforts were worth it. There was lots of late nights, little sleep, bad food, (nutrition wise) a few months of being depressed, and homesickness but I got my BA. Now, I can't find a stable job to save my behind. What were all my personal struggles for then?
