<p>OP, I feel your pain, having been gapped at ALL the colleges that accepted me.</p>
<p>I just need someone to tell me it’s ok to take out $15k a year in loans, and that it won’t ruin my life. I mean there are people who do this, do not go into ridiculously lucrative careers, and still have happy, successful lives, right? Because I have basically been conditioned to believe that student loans are evil monsters that will ruin your life.</p>
