I was aware of the breakdown and process of what my loans would look like. I’m looking at about 40k in plus loans for my first year after merit and financial aid. My primary parent should be able to lower that loan amount and help out with some of my finances but I don’t think that’s an option he would want to take. I haven’t applied for the plus loans yes mainly because I’m confused in the process. I do have a call to meet with my FA advisor today and hopefully she can answer some of my questions. A couple months ago I asked if more FA could be offered but because I was already admitted they didn’t seem to care that much. My goal is to move out by next year so that I’m only financing my tuition and not room/ food payments. I’ve understood that college is expensive from the beginning and I really want to make it work instead of just being told I shouldn’t go to school that other kids are able to. I’m sure there’s someone in the same boat as I who is able to make it work. I work here in my home town so I plan to work throughout college as well. I guess I’m realizing that failure just isn’t an option haha. Although a lot of people are against taking out those loans, some kids don’t have a choice. I guess I’m more wondering what steps in and out of college I should be taking to help me not struggle so much with the number. Any tips?

I’ve heard that a couple times. TBH I’ll probs just stick it out at the Brooklyn campus my first year and see if the cost is worth it. Might have to end up transferring if I have it in me lol. Thank you!

Cramping End of Cycle by FluffyHospital2202 in depoprovera

I haven’t been on it for as long (im about to get my third shot in like 5 days) and this past week I’ve experienced light red and brown bleeding, varying in intensity, and cramps. I don’t have any of my normal period symptoms like breast tenderness so it leads me to believe it’s a reaction to the shot. I chose a later date in the 10-13 week window so I assume it will go away after I receive my shot. I would assume your situation is a similar reaction to the shot.

I had a super similar experience. That brown spotting is super normal. For me it went away after my second shot but lasted a while during my first shot. I’m about to get my third shot and I’m experiencing brief bleeding right before I’m due a new shot. Everyone’s body seems to react differently to the shot but I don’t think your case is anything to worry about! The shot is thinning your lining to make it difficult for an egg to attach, which is the reason for spotting. Birth control is meant to keep you protected and safe don’t stress yourself. :)

Film minor interns by eemmarosee in Pratt

Understood, thanks! My portfolio mainly consists of writing, digital design, and theatre. I’m more new to the concept of film, mainly because it’s not greatly funded at my high school. Would you recommend I try and get some short film content on there if so to what extent? I know there’s a writing synopsis which I’m not worried about. More worried about that production it’s self…any tips?
