Everytime I say the word "college" my mother cringes. She gets all tense and changes the subject. I dont know whether its because i'm leaving in a couple of months or she has no idea where this money is going to come from. Although she can't bare the thought of me leaving she has said that she will support me in any decison I make. I think she's worried that when I leave they will  be living in my brothers mess, because he obvisouly doesn't know how to clean up after himself.  My Father on the other hand, is a completely different story. I think he just wants me out of the house. When I try to talk to him about college, he doesnt listen. He just zones out when i'm talking and I don't understand why. I  mean this is a HUGE deal he can't ignore me forever!  I guess it doesn't matter. One parent on your side is always better than none. I feel bad for my little brother. I know he's not the easiest guy to get a long with and have agree with your opinions, but I love him and I don't want to leave him behind. He can be  rude sometimes and we all know that school is his kryptonite, and my parents have very little tolerance for that. The next three and a half years will be hell on all of them! 

Ugggghhh! Don't even get me started on finance. All I have heard for the past 9 months is my mother nagging me to get a job and save my money. She sounds like a broken record. (I love you, mummy lol)

Then when taxes roll around, apparently I made too much money and she has to pay the government. Lovely. Any how, on the FASFA side, I finished everything online at the first cash for college night. My mom just wanted to finish her taxes before she submitted any thing, and make sure all the numbers we plugged in were correct.
