Accepted into USF!! YESSS. (Grads, I have ?s!)

Sat Feb 9, 2008, 3:38 PM
  • Mood: Relief
University of South Florida accepted me! ... Well, a few weeks ago. But you know I barely update this journal at all. Anyway, I won't be freaking out over getting admitted anymore! Now it's just... all that other stuff that's stressing me out.

I can't help but wonder if there's any USF alumni out there?
In deviantart land?
That has my journal on watch?
(Go Bulls?)
...
Ah well, let's just target grads in general.

In my immediate family, no one's been to college, so their idea of it is all messed up and their tips are fairly vague. Not very helpful. So! I don't think I'm completely clueless, but, I'm not really sure what to expect either. I'd like to hear peoples experiences and opinions, and I have a few questions...

Was it easy to get a job after college or were you stuck without a job for a while? If the latter, how long was it and what can I do to avoid unemployment? xD Also- I need people's opinion on taking out loans; should it be a last resort or something to do all along? x: Feel free to add to this, these questions are just things that have been floating in my head.

Gimme the beef!

Squeek! :D I'm happy for you! But er, USF... m'dear... why are you going to USF? o.o You could get into Ringling, SCAD, Full Sail or an Art Institute with your skill! I mean damn. =/

As for loans and such... The way I thought about it was, fuck--America as a Country is in debt. I'll be in debt for the rest of my life anyway too. Might as well go to a kick ass school and take out enough loans to sell my soul for. XD Loans aren't exactly a bad thing, just make sure you pay 'em back. You get good credit that way anyway. =)

$800 a month in living expenses is nice to live off of. It may be different if you live in a dorm--you may not need that much. But if you're paying rent, bills, food, etc... I'd go for 800 a month.

Well, I'm not even sure if I want to be an artist, and art schools are way too expensive for me to get caught up in only to figure out that I want to do something else Dx So, looking more toward the psychology route. All else fails, USF has a pretty good art program with all the facilities I'll ever need. But I'm flattered y'think so! <33

Wah. I need a job like... yesterday xD But 800 a month isn't bad. I think I can do that. Do you know of any lenders with super low interest? Maybe I could minimize my awful, inevitable debt monster xD

Oh, also!
How's Full Sail? :3
:iconxsmidgex:
That's a good reason xD Ooooh psychology. That's fun too >3

I use Sallie Mae, which is a Government Loan I believe. My parents have the Parent Plus loan and I have the Stafford loan I believe. You start paying it back like 5 months or so after you get out of school. Save your parents--they start paying it back while you're still in school, but I forget how much a month.

Omfg Full Sail is CRAZY! O.O; I'm doing so much shit. This month I'm in Motion Graphics (Project), and we have two projects to do. I'm doing my first one on 'Buy American Products' and not over-sea products. It has to be something we're not used to doing--something out of our comfort box. It's pretty much like a commercial, but you have to create -everything- from scratch for the most part. x.x

Mrmrr, government loans you say -strokes beard-

omg motion graphics, I'm jealouuuss. Creating everything from scratch sounds like a bitch though xD Do you think you could upload something like that to dev? Because I demand to see this awesomeness when you're done O:<<
:iconxsmidgex:
I can upload something and post a link to the movie. (It will be a quicktime file.)

You should come to FS. We have.. one psychology class... <.< >.> ... XD
