My tuition increased and I literally don’t know how I’m going to pay for school. My parents don’t help and I’m already working two jobs. I’m fucked.

apply to a LOT of scholarships based on your talents/strengths (like writing or art etc.) do some remote side gigs or the last resort which is alternative loans (LAST resort)

Would you be able to apply for loans? It’s sucks to have to pay them off but at least you can pay tuition in the mean time

I applied to hundreds and didn’t get them even though I have a 4.0 and my parents won’t cosign a loan so I can’t get any:/

that sucks and i can’t imagine what it’s like but honestly my advice is to really reflect on the situation and see how much free time you would have in the semester to dedicate to making another source of income. like for me money that i earn usually goes straight into stocks or somewhere that will be a source of income”investment” BUT it can be time consuming to research
