Well at least you've not seen him hon, that sucks that the people in your building aren't that nice though, it means a lot when you live somewhere new that people are friendly and welcoming so sorry to hear that.
I know a bit about student loans (from yonks ago when I had one myself lol) but I'm in the UK hon so it probably works a bit differently over here!
OOOOOOOHHHH! I see, you are miles away LOL!!! Okay, that's cool ๐
I was just wondering if I could take out a student loan big enough to probably live off of along with paying for school.
Are you in the States hon?
I have no idea how they work over there, but here, good lord mine hardly lasted 6 months!
Then again I did spend some of it on "socialising" as you do. ๐
LOL, thats probably why the loan didn't last ๐
Yes, I live in the states -- I have family over there too but slightly north of you. My cousin thinks it will be easy for me to go to school there, but I don't know ...
""I was just wondering if I could take out a student loan big enough to probably live off of along with paying for school.""
Me too!!!
My friends want me to study in England with them. I'm ascaird. ๐ข
REALLYโ Yeah, I'm scared too ๐ข ๐ข ๐ข But I'm thinking, Wow, should I do it.
If I do, there's certain things about myself I have to get together first LOL
Well there are a couple of good Universities here, Stirling Uni is just gorgeous too.
Cappy .. there are three types of student loans, all in which accrue interest. They are, Student Loans, Parent Loans & Private Education Loans.
Your best option would be the "Private", also known as Alternative Education Loans ... because it helps to bridge the gap between what is the actual cost of your education with the limited amount the government allows you to borrow in their education programs. To determine the actual cost in an Alternative Loan, you can use a projection far into the future, so this can allow you to pad, according to an education antipication.
The downside is that these loans cost more than the loans offered by the government because the interest rate is variable (Prime +), while the government ones are fixed, plus the forgiveness is rigid if in default.
However, the eligibility is dependent on your credit score .. how does your credit look?
Oh, nevermind .... you want to study abroad. Disregard the US guidelines, then.
Oh no, P-Angel, that's just an option, nothing is certain, and I'm not sure if I can or not.
Those pics are so cool thesis!
Stirling Uni โ COOOOOL ๐ ๐ ๐
Ooops, I didn't tell you
They are in Sweden, they live in Stockholm ๐
However, the eligibility is dependent on your credit score .. how does your credit look?
Its okay as far as I know -- I was able to get an apt by myself without a co-signer.
Haha ok no problem CS.
Studying abroad would be fun though, I always fancied that.
Yes, I'm strongly thinking about.
Hahahaha, this is the crazy part, what if I get there and meet a guy and want to stay. My mother woul kill me LOL
I think that if your hearts desire is to study abroad, then this desire is in place for a reason, and you would benefit from listening to it.

Really? P-Angel
Goodness, its too bad I don't have the internet at home. I could look up all kinds of stuff for scholarships and what not.
""IT ISN'T ALL ABOUT HOW THE PISCES FEELS OR WHAT THE PISCES WANTS."
Um, yeah it kinda is..when people come on this board looking for reasons or insights into how their Pisces object of affection is acting, P-Angel and others break it down for them."
Uhm, no it isn't... You will find that SOME people of every sign are defensive of their sign period. However, just like you, others come here to ask for insight on why a particular sign acts a certain way or their way of thinking as we all as individuals are different. You can never get the exact answer unless you ask that person, but people of the same sign may have a general idea of the way their sign sees things.
According to a lot of posts especially concerning Pisces P-Angel just seemed bias to me and not being really general. Some women who were dating pisces men got defensive. However everyone has different standards some of us just don't take the crap others do off of men in general. In my opinion that is a quick way to get through the incompatible to get to the compadible FOR YOU... Simple.
Not that P-Angel never gives good advice or ALWAYS is sarcastic or offensive it is all a matter of opinion of each individual and to me she seems a little bias in some posts. Wether Bijou or anyone else agrees or like it or not is irrelevant. This is my opinion. Period.
Cappysweetie I like the pic with the sexy lady holding the martini glass ๐ข

Reallyโ Awesome, I'm glad to see you like the blue screen. That gives me ideas ๐
Cappy what do you need to know about the loans? Im in the states and currently a student.
Hi Moon,
Okay, here's the scoop. I need to take out a student loan that will help cover school and ... my living situation. It sounds sort of vain but I'm trying to get through school and I'm a bit unstable right now because my job STILL may be in trouble (AAHHHH!!!! I hate this ๐ข, phew, sorry I had to do that ๐).
So I was thinking about being an ass and taking out a huge student loan. If I'm already awarded a grant, can I still take out a big loan. Yes, I know I will regret it later when I have to pay it all back but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm sort of in over my head and its not a good thing right now.
So that's it ๐
YAY!!! You are here ๐
Okay Moon, is it good to take out more then one loan from the same bank?
The whole point of this post is to beware of taking P advice - be aware of taking anyone's advice, why focus on one person.
Borrow only as much as you need, work when you can as long as it doesn't affect your grades - that's my advice. Paying off students loan afterwards is nasty and we don't have interest on ours here it's only adjusted yearly for inflation so I would hate to think what an interest bearing one would cost. You want to enjoy yourself when you've finished uni not be in debt up to your neck. Unless your going to be making squillions.
I agree to what ImitationFly has said, and as a Pisces, I did think that there was something off about P-Angel's comments-especially when it came to a comment she made to an aries guy-she told him to blow off his pisces because she was playing him-and i was so mad by that-because I know that I, as a pisces, have more of a heart than that. I also found the quote that Imitationfly said that P-Angel said was rather disturbing. I am sarcastic at times, but at 24, I know when to use it and when to back off, and if my sarcasm hurts others, i immediately feel remorseful about it afterwards and go to that person and apologize to them.
Well good for you adw3284 .... you want a medal for growing enough balls in making this your very first post with this screen name?
What a way to start .. I'll parley with you .. bring it on.
So, you would allow your panties to get properly wadded up your ass over me talking to an Aries man about a Pisces woman, this women whom isn't even YOU?
Never mind .. go play with yourself .. if your emotions are this weak that you don't comprehend what is yours to own and what isn't ... then this makes you one of them ... one of those who have no choice, because they don't know there is one.
So, I'll fly over head and let you wallow in your ignorance of not knowing that you own this.
Hummm, hello, just want to say I consider P-Angel a Person with alot of experience in this field. And she always says it all, people sometimes can be shocked or something else.
I am pisces remember, I have rare rational thougths, I just know, for the time I passed here, what I read, ppl call it intuition I think.
I didnt said nothing about jeopardize.
Regardless of the means, people do not act like themselves on the forums, it provides a mask and with that mask, ppl will say and do w/e they please becuase there will be no repecussions, not pointing fingers, not taking sides, this is just an observation of mine.
PA has Moon in Cancer:
"Moon in Cancer
This is the most subjective position of the Moon. The Moon is "at home" in the sign of Cancer, as the Moon is the natural ruler of the sign.
Moon in Cancer natives have a large potential to be able to get in touch with the feelings and moods of others.
Their memories of the past are outstanding, especially for all things emotional.
Moon in Cancer people are never detached--they cling to things, their home, and people they care for. They seek out security and familiarity in all they do.
These peace-loving souls dislike superficiality in all of its forms.
Because of their strong attachment to, and memory of, the past, others may complain that Moon in Cancer natives tend to whip a dead horse.
In fact, these natives, when they are insecure, can become quite manipulative. They can also be victims of habit.
One of the most delightful characteristics of Moon in Cancer people is their loony sense of humor. These people can be extraordinarily funny. Their moodiness can baffle others, but their unique outlook on life is something most people can appreciate.
When treated with tenderness and understanding, Moon in Cancer natives return the favor with warmth and protection.
These people are wonderfully dependable overall, despite their occasional mood swings. Make a friend of Moon in Cancer, and you will be taken care of for life."
She has Venus and Mercury in Aries.
"Mercury in Aries
She makes quick decisions, streamlines learning, is direct and straightforward in speech, possesses an innocent charm, and can easily motivate others with her enthusiasm. Loves a heated dispute. Lively mind which quickly understands a given situation. She is very resourceful and capable. Prefers to jump into a decision and doesn't have much patience with pretense."
She has Mars in Gemini.
"Mars in Gemini
Mars is the planet that rules our drive and passions. In the mutable air sign of Gemini, Mars is a little scattered and unfocused.
More than most people, these individuals have a physical reaction to boredom.
Besides possessing a passion for words, when Mars in Gemini natives get angry or fired up, they use words as their "weapon". Angry words--some of the most incisive and sarcastic ones--can fly around with the more energetic natives. Others simply talk things through--energetically! Whatever the case may be, Mars in Gemini natives need to get everything off their chests when they're fired up.
In fact, debates are a Mars in Gemini specialty. These natives draw on their sharp wit to win arguments.
When they're on edge, they can be nitpicky. Many Mars in Gemini natives channel their energy through their hands. Gemini, after all, rules the hands; and these people often express energy through musical instruments and the like--even video games. Many are attracted to puzzles and games as diversions."
I've met two kinds of Pisces:
1. Sweet, soft, enticing, but completely unreliable.
2. Smart, but disappointed with their lack of success, and therefore twisted and evil.
They are Polar Opposites of Virgo: When we're caustic, we're open about it. When we're disappointed, we generally only torture ourselves.
You haven't met enough pisces if that is what you define us under.
No, I just think its unnecessary to box us in 2 categories. How silly. The virgos dont like being categorized, so why should we? I think everyone is still individualistic in character despite their sign. Am I suppose to submit to two categories that don't describe me?
hmmm ...
If you don't like someone's response best thing is to ignore them. And just because you don't like someone's answer to your question doesn't mean they are wrong.
Hi Hizaki ๐ ๐ ๐!!!
"I've met two kinds of Pisces:

2. Smart, but disappointed with their lack of success, and therefore twisted and evil.

So how can a Virgo see when a Pisces feels "the lack of success"?
Don't they have a totally other definiton for success than Virgos do?
"If you don't like someone's response best thing is to ignore them. And just because you don't like someone's answer to your question doesn't mean they are wrong."
I totally agree Hizaki, problem is that "normally" pisces is the only one capable of ignoring. But when it comes to being there for justice, nothing shut us down.
CombatingMyGeminiSister, I combat with my aries brother and mother, why? because we crash in most issues "Live". But you are right there are destructive ppl in every sign, but we are talking about chat, I too came here in past to my relief, to say my problems and get support, but this is only a chat (not talking to you since you understand this clearly.).
One thing I know for a long time, this world is getting more violent by the minute.
imitationoflyfe:
I'm glad you posted on this as I feel the same way about P-Angel....caught on to her from the get-go....and yes Pisces tend to find pleasure in exploiting others' weaknesses.....some of P-Angel's posts are cruel and hateful....i think people like this lack intelligence and are miserable people and as they say, misery loves company.......can not tolerate them for too long....in fact, whenever I meet a Pisces, I make sure to be very superficial, kill them with kindess, and put as much distance as possible between us. You should keep this post at the top of the Pisces message boards to warn any newcomers. It takes a very small-minded person to be intentionally cruel and find pleasure in the suffering of others....as if their lives are so empty and meaningless they have nothing positive to do...and as you can tell, P-Angel has alot of time on her hands to be on these message boards and posting on many different boards on a regular basis....hey, P-Angel, stop the hatred, get yourself an education and become a positive and productive member of society. WHAT A LOSER!
moon_eyes: your happy bunny post = TYPICAL cancer response/humor ๐ dahahahahhaha I can't stop laughing! ๐
Imitation of Flyte,
I'm also glad you posted about Pee-Angel. She gives alot of mean, vicious "advice" that is not helpful at all. And then if you contradict her, she tries to make you sound like you're dumb or beneath her in intelligence.
And, as someone posted earlier, all her shitty advice is so long-winded! I mean, if she could only be as funny as Chris Rock or Joan Rivers, I could see some redeeming value in her blather, but no.
Give her a wide berth.

Well, you know I haven't seen him :O I've managed to stay away during certain times - which is when he would catch me either outside or on the elevator.
I don't know, I'm alittle chicken right now because I've only been there since June. The people there are not so nice if you know what I mean, so I'm staying low. If that doesn't work, then I will try something else.
I have a problem I'm trying to solve, do you know anything about student loans?
