Sue and David are right. It's hard when you are struggling through but later on, you will appreciate what you have even more.

I'm surprised, though, by the attitude of your classmates. I thought students were more understanding than that. I'm sure that there are plenty of kids in your circumstances. Find them and rely on one another for support.

BTW, I think it sucked that A&T raised the prices for homecoming football tickets this year for students. They should have gotten regular, or even discounted pricing.

I agree with David. I went to college on a full scholarship because I was smart but poor. My parents couldn't afford to go with me to drop me off at college (or pre-visit). I was in a world of very wealthy roomies and dorm-mates. It was difficult at times.

But today, everything we have is what we worked for. My shoes are OK, I can buy a new thing for my kids because, well, I want to. Not rich, but not poor.

You're possibly the first in your family to go to collge and you're making wise use of the opportunity. One day, when it's easier, you'll look back and realize this built your character in a way no one else can even imagine. And you'll teach your kids that nothing is free; you get what you work for (a little luck helps, too).

And you'll make your own luck.

If you're looking for a p-t job, let me know. I know of one that you can do from your dorm room if you have an Internet connection and know how to use a computer (and maybe just a little bit of HTML).

email me at southernrants-at-gmail-dot-com if you're interested.

Hang tough. I was poor too in college. It's really hard, but it'll pay off. I promise. You'll be the one spoiling your kids someday.
