Student Loans? I got a 31 on my ACT and had a 3.9 something and I didn't get crap for scholarships, put it on Uncle Sam's tab (if you're an American).

I had a friend who went in to take the ACT still drunk from the night before, and all he did was fill in circles in a diagonal pattern back and forth, and ended up making a 31 :confused:

Hehehe, nice one. I remember taking a cig break with all the other 'hood kids halfway through the test. I think that's what got me through.

They served their purpose for me for a while, got me through college and all that. But I quit when I was 23 and am glad I did. Lung Cancer, Emphysema, and Heart Disease, oh my!

you know what I hate? those "truth" comercials... most of the stuff they say is pure and utter bullcrap, or at least taken out of context...

I don't support smoking, but I really hate those comercials because they lie to try to get you to stop smoking... the thing is, people already know smoking kills, it's not going to make them stop smoking as long as they still want to do it.

yea but dude, the point is that alot of people arent very smart about **** like that. people dont go looking for the hard facts about smoking unless theyre doing a shcool paper or soemthing, and regardless, at least its getting information out there. plus, theyre marketing is pretty good, given that i dont understand why you would really want to smoke ciggs after knowing the facts and the fuuuucked up stuff that tobacco companies do to try and get you to smoke. smoking is pretty un-rock and roll in taht case. hah.

I understand your frustration, and it's tough dealing with setbacks like a scholarship falling through and being denied a working scholarship. Wanting to join the university band but lacking the necessary gear adds another layer of challenge, making it feel like continuing education is slipping away.
