Hey guys, I know I'm back so soon... but I just read something that broke my heart about a friend of mine. My friend's name is Analee, she's a classmate of mine at St. John's. She was denied a loan for school, and will not be able to take classes this year because of it. I think it's a damn shame that college students should have to pay the price for a faltering economy... especially someone as sweet as her. She applied to many scholarships throughout the summer, so she's trying her best, but none of them bothered to reply back to her. It's not fair. Really. Why should some kids get the privilege of going to college with no worries while others are denied loans and have to make ends meet themselves just to afford a quality education. WTF, economy, you suck! And then how do students without loans support themselves? Part-time jobs, maybe... maybe if 18 and 19 year olds got hired more often in this lackluster job market with a high unemployment rate, than there might be some hope, but in her own words, finding a job nowadays is like finding "a needle in a haystack." Even if she did it would be too little too late, move in day is 20 days from now. So, if there are any bigwigs out there who feel like helping someone out in need, contact my friend Analee. Here's the URL to her blog:

Hopefully things work out for her, I would hate to not see her on campus this Fall because of an issue like this. See you guys.
