So real life has been catching up on me lately and I could use the friendly advice of the good people of DoomWorld. Now I normally solve all my problems by either pretending they don't exist or making them someone else's problem. This is all fine and good for dealing with things like colds and ex-girlfriends, but some things cannot be solved this way. Like financial issues. I have a big choice to make. I currently have $12.00 to my name right now. I don't get paid until next week. With the next paycheck I can either make rent or pay my community college bill. Currently my credit is great. Not so much as a penny past due on any of my bills. EVER.

If I pay my college, my rent will go past due. If I pay my rent, I wont go to college this semester.

If I dont pay my rent, my credit will be fucked and I wont get grant money, which would prevent me from ever going to a 4-year school. Alternatively, If I do pay rent, I will have to postpone my education another semester. My major problem is that things keep getting more expensive and I keep having to postpone my education. I want to go to school someday, I dont wanna work shit jobs the rest of my life.

Now borrowing money from the parents is outta the question because they're poorer than me, I won't be able to get government aid until next semester. I've been filling out ridiculous numbers of scholarship applications hoping to get money, so one of these days I might get something. Banks don't do college loans. I'm not entirely sure what to do. And yes, probably TL;DR
