"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

^my forum, liven it up a little?

I have registered for my 5th year for college and it seems as though I am not getting any financial aid money this year. What is going on? I filed my fafsa a month ahead of time. There was a verfication worksheet I had to do (which is suppose to be random, but I have done this for the 3rd time in a row) and I did it late, but that was after I found out that I can print my IRS transcript online, so I had to wait four weeks. 2 weeks because I accidently ordered the wrong one and another 2 weeks because I had them mail it to me. Still, that is not a good reason for me to NOT get financial aid because most of them are student loans.
This is a question for your financial aid office, not me! Also, lots of loans and scholarship money are often only available for the first four years of your education. It\'s unfortunate, but that\'s the way it is.
You should talk to someone at your school and see what they can do for you. You might need to apply for different types of loans than you had before, and maybe take a semester off if you cannot afford to pay for this one. It\'s not a big deal - you could get a part-time job and save some cash for the future.

Response to feedback: You asked me this question directly to my inbox, and I answered it as well as I could without knowing your school or the reason for a fifth year of college. I fail to see how this answer is abusive. Please let me know where I offended you and I will edit my answer.
