It would be important for everyone to state their school, school they left or school they wanted to attend, year, GPA, and age. I think it will especially hit home from those of us who are a bit older....

Honey, I am so sorry your parents are being such buttheads. I can't even imagine how infuriating this must be for you. Its YOUR life, and YOU'VE got to live it. Find a way to apply to U of A (can you borrow $$ from someone to do it?) and then wait and see. Maybe SC will give you a full scholarship. Maybe Uof A will, and then you'll have your answer and you won't have to worry about parents paying...? Sigh.
Hang in there, and please, if you need me you know how to find me...

Thanks Amy
!! You are awesome, you know that?! You make 'SC proud, I'm sure! Full scholarship. Eh, I don't think so, hehe. I wish I could have one, but my grades are just not that great so to deserve a full-ride! I definitely have the money to pay for the app fee myself. But, I think that applying to the U of A requires a credit card or a check (though I think I remember it's the former). I don't have either, so that IS a problem, and of course, if my parents won't even let me apply, how are they gonna let me go?
That's what I'm most worried about. I definitely can apply some way, I think, but what if I decide I really want to go? Today, I had some kind of revelation in English class. (LOL...I was sitting there listening to someone read from Much Ado About Nothing, and then I was like...damn...the U of A has everything I want - or nearly everything I want!
) Then I talked to some teachers who know me and get along well with me, and they were like, "APPLY!!! You will regret if you don't...you'll always be wondering what could have been if in fact you end up somewhere you don't like. It seems to fit everything you're searching for in a college." I was like, "Yeah, you're right!" And so, now I suddenly am thinking all things U of A. It's rather scary. Because I don't think I have much say in my future. Now, that's the scariest and most horrifying part!!!
I DEFINITELY know how important it is to go to a school that you like. Cuz college is all about growing, finding more about who you are as a person, and simply - living life. How will I do those things if I'm at somewhere I hate? Now if only the 'rents understood that...
Thanks girls who have posted, you guys are GREAT!!!!!! Hugs to you all for making me feel better!!!
