Why did you take a semester off?
Basically my college screwed me over with financial aid and I wasn't able to pay for my classes out-of-pocket.

That blows. Its also one reason why I love Europe, Uni is free.....if you have the right grades. >_>
Pretty much the same here if you have good enough grades or you're granted a scholarship, you can go to college for free under certain terms if you're eligible for the scholarship and are awarded it.

Yeah, but that's still not 100% free. Like, you can pass high school with the equivalent of a 4.0 GPA, and suck in University without consequences.

There are scholarships here though that do give students a full ride into school, but you would have to be top-notch pretty much.

Also grants too. If one's parents/guardians don't make enough money, they could qualify for grant money to get into school as well, which sucks because it means people who have lower grades get a free ride simply because of lower income.

I'm kinda jealous though that I didn't turn out to be athletic though.. because there were people from my school who barely managed a 2.0 GPA but got athletic scholarships because of how good an athlete they were. Oh well.

I'm getting bored of Pokemon.

Why? Well because of the cheaters, the people who cheat other players out of rightful wins by disconnecting just before they lose. Also all the Smogonites trying to control the game through equally nefarious methods then getting arrogant when reminded that Pokemon does not belong to Smogon. The rated battles use to mean something, a goal to aspire too, now they're ruined. First the hacking program, then the sore losers disconnecting, and now Smogonites expecting everyone else to want to play the same game they do in an arena that's obviously not theirs, clashing with those who think everyone should follow VGC rules.

It's just not fun anymore, even this forum has lost it's appeal for much the same reasons. Luckily the smaller arenas' fans aren't so pigheaded, but that's still only about half of those I encounter in Battle Spot lately. I know, I'm griping, and suspect this post may disappear, but that's why I have been inactive on the forums lately. So thank you, those specific types I mentioned, for ruining what use to be my favorite video game of all time.
If you add me, please message me so I can reciprocate. No, garbage does not make a cute Pokemon, and it smells funny.

When you've been at home for seven months straight without being out of the house much, things can get a little boring.
Don't you have a car? Why didn't you get a job?

You see that? That thing way up in the sky? It's Andy's ego, soaring to new heights.

I see it too, from all the way down there. It's almost as high as mine now. Almost.

It's not always that easy. I applied to 13 jobs over the summer and I never even got an interview. Meanwhile someone offered my brother a job and my other brother got hired on the spot. I really wished that luck ran in the family...

I was pretty busy with after school activities during high school though, so I look forward to starting the job hunt even earlier this year. Maybe I'll get luckier this time, but spending the entire summer at home not working killed me on the inside. So, I'm not giving up this next summer.

I haven't searching for another job as of yet, even though I was having a semi-job regarding plane tickets and stuff. I just hope I can get the job that I enjoy the most someday, but I'm unsure where is it as of now.

I'm not legally allowed to have a job at this point of time. Not even a part-time job.
How come? In my area, I see that some stores are looking for a person with about 17 years old or higher to work, so I'm wondering why.

What? In Australia games are like 100 AUSD, consoles like 700, and everything has super high inflation prices. 15 per hour is pennies compared to the cost of living.
