Classes Start Tomorrow and My Financial Aid Has Barely Gone Through.

I mean, at least it has gone through. A lot of people on a group page for the school on Facebook say their classes still haven't been paid for. I had to call up to the financial aid office so many times last week to press them on mine and my classes were paid today. Now, I was told that by Tuesday I should have my book money. Well, classes start Tuesday and one of my professor's sent me a syllabus saying I would need some textbook this week which I doubt I will have in time due to not having literally any money at all. I'm really hoping I get sent something because other students are telling me that since it doesn't say I am getting a book allowance on my account summary, I'm just getting a final refund which comes at the end of the month. If I have to wait another week or two I'm going to fall so behind because I have no money to buy/rent these ridiculously expensive textbooks.

So, my first take on the college life. Well, it may come as a complete shock to you but it f-cking sucks. No wonder so many people avoid going to college. I'm so stressed out over whether or not I'm going to be able to get these books and I haven't even gotten my first assignment. Also, I took on four classes this semester thinking that it would be nothing and now I'm having second thoughts. I'm like a bride with cold feet.

I had to take two mandatory classes because I didn't pass a math exam they had me take before I could register and so I wanted at least two classes to be something to help me get closer to my goal of graduating but what if I took too many? Is there a grace period where if I feel like it's too much, I can drop out?

College is hard and it's not even officially starting yet. D:
