<pre><code> Hey so this is my intricate possibly dramatic issue I'm having as of right now. I've always wanted to go to school in New York City. I'm from Chicago. Applied to Pace University and other schools in New York and several other places. Got into only two schools (Chicago State and Kentucky State University) due to the fact that my grades were utterly terrible in high school, I went on to try junior college to raise my grades and get some college credit. It's been three years. Last year, I applied for Long Island University and several state schools. I didn't get into any state schools surprisingly, but I got into Long Island University in Brooklyn. I worked my bum off to get ready to go early January of this year. I was getting ready to go to the orientation and most likely discuss more about financial aid and figuring out monthly payment plans and loans so I could officially attend the school. What I really needed right away was the $300 housing fee and the $200 tuition fee. My Mom bless her heart got me the money while I searched frantically for a job. Unfortunately, there was this huge blizzard in New York going on, and I was unable to go to that particular orientation date. Also, during my search for loans, I figured out that I had no one to cosign for, therefore I had to take out the loans myself. By that time, my mom doesn't think I'll be able to go, and she spends the $500. I'm upset, but I decide to spend most of this year improving my grades and my credit so I could attend next spring (January 2015).
During the spring and the fall semester(2014), I have raised my grades wondrously, but I couldn't find a job. I now have that 3.0 I really really wanted. I got a job during the summer, and I've been trying to save money ever since. Now, I've got to get a second job because all of my money is going to Mom and transportation. My search for a second job has rang victorious *as the unknown saying goes "It's much easier to find a job when you have a job"*, but I just recently ran into another problem. I've willingly been letting my mother use my credit information because I trusted that she would pay bills and such responsibly. I tried to apply for a credit card last night to simply add a helping hand, and I was declined. The next morning, my mother is explaining to me that there are several bills (Bills that I haven't heard off in a while) that are left on my credit that she will "handle". I'm scared, angry, and really depressed right now. I doubt that she'll ever "handle" my credit because she's been working full time for a while. She was given a raise several times. We usually don't have enough money, but when we have, she definitely had the chance to pay off the debt. I really wanted to go away to college in New York City, but it's really starting to seem like it's not gonna happen anytime soon. I definitely don't wanna be stuck at home for another year. I love my mother, but she's extremely controlling. I can't usually hang with friends since they get off work late. I would like to have somewhat of a social life. I also mainly wanted to go to New York for music, networking, connecting with the songwriting community, and performance opportunities while I'm attending school for psychology.
