I'm not really too upset about losing the scholarship itself. I'm actually pissed at what a big deal my parents are making out of it. WTF are they complaining about? I choose my second choice school so that I could have a full scholarship. My sister's college tuition cost $15,000 a year, and even without my scholarship it's only going to cost them $8000 a year. Yeah I'm not perfect and I got some bad grades this year (I had a 3.6 and dropped to a 2.9 in two semesters) but whatever. It's not even like my parents don't have the money to pay for tuition; my mom alone makes $140,000 a year.
Stop trying to make me feel bad for not being the perfect student. Just because my sister had a 4.0 GPA for 3 years doesn't mean I can do it.
I'm angry because I had to pay every penny for college and spent about $25,000 in that 4 year period on tuition and books. I worked at Tim Hortons for THREE years while I lived with my girlfriend and her parents. Actually, I lie, I skipped going to Disney land with my family (miss a week of college was a no no) so I got $1k instead of going....guess I'm happy as the Canadian Government pays like 80% or something of tuition when compared to the US.
That should make you a little happy as having your parents help that much is amazing! I think I got about 2grand in total from my parents but I still worked fucking hard to make sure I carried no debt and just saved all Summer for when school started up again.
