I suppose this is not unique, but I worry constantly about my financial aid for college. I turned everything in and it is still being processed, so there is nothing I can do right now, but I feel like I am going to be stuck playing a waiting game until last minute and then I will not be able to do anything about it. If something does happen then I will loose all my scholarships I worked for, because I didn’t start the Fall after my graduation. I can’t piece together with a back up plan for if that happens that I have any confidence in.

I feel guilty about this too because my family is really looking forward to me being the first person to go to college, and when I bring up this up, I feel like I am disappointing them. Honestly, that feels even worse than the stress.
