*Edit* Everything is falling apart



So, I don't know about the rest of you, but Harry Potter was pretty much my whole childhood, I started reading the books in the second grade when they were first published and I have been in love with them ever since, and finally, eleven years later, everything is coming to a close. It makes me extremely sad, yet happy, because I cannot wait to see the final two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I should have been on that Hogwarts Express seven years ago, but alas, it never came to pick me up. I kind of want to go down to Orlando Studios to see the new Harry Potter themed rides, that would be a dream come true. =) When the final book came out, I got it, and I read it in a day, and I just re-watched for the nth time the first movie because it was on ABC Family tonight. Which is what put me in this mood. My favorite character always was Severus Snape, and I always knew that he wasn't the bad guy, even when I first started reading it, I knew he just wasn't. Alan Rickman plays him so well and I am excited to see him in his final hours. Share with me your favorite Harry Potter character if you were into the books, the movies, or both. I would like to know your thoughts.

Definitely Snape. Well, anything with Alan Rickman will get my vote. Between that series, Lord of the Rings and Diana Gabaldon books, I've been off with the faeries for years.

I love Alan Rickman, he's fantastic. I especially love his voice.

I'm supposed to go to college, to live on campus, I'm supposed to do all of these things

My aunt doesn't want to co-sign with me, because God forbid she'd be responsible if I "dropped out of school" or "got pregnant", and if you knew me, like actually knew me, you would know that that is NOT me. I am not that kind of girl. I want to go to school, I want to learn, and I want to live on campus. I want all of those things, and I'm not going to let boys get my way, I never have, and I take my academics very seriously. I was number 2 in my graduating class, I was in National Honor Society, and I would have been on Student Council if the voting process wasn't a big popularity contest instead of something serious. And it feels like my whole life has come to a crashing stop. I worked so hard, so hard and then I get this thrown at me. I get thrown under the bus because she just won't give me the last bit of money that I need. I have 24,000 dollars granted by the university, but I still owe about 14,000 dollars, and I don't drive. I don't know how, and even if I did, I don't own a car, so I can't drive back and forth to school like other kids can, and my father can't just drive me to school everyday, that's excessive, and we don't have that kind money to be spending on gas. Everything was so perfect because we thought she was on board, we thought she wuold do it, because she and I were so close, and now it just feels like she stabbed in the back.

I'm calling her tomorrow and I will beg and plead because I HAVE to have that money. I just can't go without that money. It feels like my life is just done, like my future is stopping right here. I don't have a job, I can't find a job, so I just don't know what to do.

When is the deadline? Is this an annual amount or is it for the entire four years?

It sounds like the best scenario is for your aunt to co-sign the loan, and if that can work out awesome, but don't give up if it can't. Look for all the options. Is there near campus housing that might be cheaper? Does the school have a financial counselor who can help?

I have a friend who understands these things a lot better than I do, I will ask her if she has any suggestions.

Before you talk to your aunt, try to understand why she would change her mind, try to put yourself into her position to help you understand how best to approach her. What ever you do, don't give up, you're way stronger than that :hug:

I don't know if there is a deadline but I'm sure before I start in September. And the college costs almost 40,000 dollars a year.

No there isn't, I can't just move into an apartment or house. We've talked to the financial aide people and they've done everything that they can to help, but that's been exhausted and we have to find the rest ourselves.

She's saying no because it's her money and I know that's a lot of money, I understand what it's like to have no money at all. We barely have money to buy groceries half the time, and I'm just out of ideas.

My favourite was always Dumbledor, I cried so much when he died in the book! I've never thought that the films did the books justice as well. I was the same with Harry Potter, read the books from a young age and loved them. :)

I liked Dumbledor too. =) I think, in a way, it was fitting that he died, it just...I don't know, it fit. I love the films, I mean the books are always better, but honestly, I think with the movies, especially years 3 and up, have done the books great justice. I love them all. =)

Yeah it fit but it made me pretty unhappy haha.
I'm so looking forward to this final film, they're supposed to be doing it page by page by the book and it's gonna be in two disks! ^_^
