Please Help Me Stay In School

I need help staying in school and could use all the help I can get!

Please Help Me Stay In School

Thanks for taking time to read about my situation. I'm coming into my sophomore year of college and stayed on campus this summer to continue working my job with the school. In order to stay in school housing, I also needed to take classes through the summer, which I thought was a plus.

Just before summer sessions began, some classes were canceled - but I was assured (verbally) that I was set, after I had to completely redo my schedule and only go with one class as that was the only class available that I could take. After the final refund date (when you can drop classes without being billed), I received an email from the financial aid office informing me that I wasn't taking enough credit hours to receive financial aid from the government. My job on campus is secure, but does not pay near enough to cover housing, food, tuition and supplies needed to continue. I'm working hard to maintain my 3.255+ GPA and make my own way.

If not for the misinformation and lateness of their notification, I could have managed well enough instead of being desperate. As a result, I had to make a GoFundMe account to make ends meet. If you could please support me, that would be great. Please help me continue to pursue my dreams.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
