Is it just me, or is trying to make sense of federal student loans, grants, etc, THE MOST DAUNTING, OVERWHELMING TASK EVER— Maybe it's not THE most daunting and overwhelming, but I could easily freak completely out -- there's TOO MANY, TOO MUCH, and it's HARD to make sense of it all. I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm going to use the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application thing...and see what comes of it. I suppose they'll contact me with information about what I qualify for (??)...or do they just send you some money? 🙂 Really, this is very overwhelming...why does the government have to be so complicated? 🙂 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
