to have parents that will pay for your college. And I'm not being mean or anything, I mean it. It would be so much less stressful, and you wouldn't waste so much time. Now don't get me wrong, I realize that I am MUCH better off than the average person, and that it was my own silly choice to choose to go to one of the most expensive colleges in the state. All I'm saying is that it's still really tough, and I have zero understanding of all the things I'm reading about. LIBOR, percent APR, subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans, private vs. government, Sallie Mae, deferral periods. Sure, I know the definition of most of these words, but I have no idea what the information they're giving me about these things means. I do understand, though, that whoever you get your loan through makes a KILLING off of your interest. So I have no idea why these banks and stuff keep going bankrupt...shouldn't they be making a lot more money than they're lending out? But again, I know nothing about this so I suppose I'll just shut my mouth. All I really wanted to say was that I've maxed out all of the federal student aid options and now I'm just left to find...something else.
So my weekend was way good. I got to spend lots of time with Jordan, and I celebrated Rachael's big 20th birthday with her on Friday, it was a blast. I always forget just how much I love my friends until there I am, hanging out with them. They are just sooooo much fun, and they don't care if I do something stupid. I feel bad for the friends that I used to take for granted because they're the reason I am who I am today, and why I did all the things I did. So if you are or ever were a friend of mine, thank you, and I love you.
Back to what I was saying before though, it was a very good weekend, and I had lots of fun spending a whole day with Jordan. It made me realize that I could spend a much longer time with him and be very happy. :) We visited the Rock Island Arsenal because we had some time to kill and I'd never been there, and it is so cool! I would like to go back someday because we didn't have a whole lot of time to look around, and I don't really know what was going on with everything, so it would be nice to go back sometime and explore. There has to be so much history in that one place, and it makes me think of all the things I would like to see in my lifetime, and I realize that I have a VERY long bucket list...oh boy. Maybe I'll put it on here sometime, but not today. My break is just about up. So...hope you enjoyed (whoever it is that may have read this) and have a good couple of days.
