12 Stages Of Filing FAFSA As Told By Spongebob

It's the most wonderful time of the year, which for college students, also means time to apply for FAFSA. Whether you've applied early or are waiting until the very last minute to get your application in, it is something we all dread doing. Maybe it's because you know that you won't get enough money, or because you know that you're just going to get stuck with a ton of loans for the upcoming year, Federal Aid is the one thing that is the equivalent of waiting for your final grades to come out.

1. Procrastinating.

What do you expect? We're college students, after all.

2. Anxiety setting in.


How did I wait so long to do this? Why did I do this to myself.

3. Getting ready to tackle the beast.

Help me, I'm just a poor college student!

4. But forgetting your login info.

This is already off to a bad start...

5. Finally starting the form.


But being totally unprepared for the bombardment of questions that you are about to face.

6. Asking your parents for help.

But they already know the drill and are gone before you can even finish asking the question.

7. Thinking about if it's even worth it.


Already going to die in student loan debt anyways.

8. Trying to look at the bright side of things.

Hopefully I'll qualify for work-study, but if I do, can get a job on campus... with 40,000 others applying for the same positions...?

9. Trying to figure out taxes.


What even are these?

10. Realizing you're almost finished with the form.


And you wont have to worry about it again until next year.

11. Submitting your FAFSA.

Hoping that they'll give you some form of aid.

12. Coming to terms that you'll either be living like this:

or this:

during the upcoming school year.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
