[debate]

I am seriously debating taking out a loan to pay for my expenses. I know I always said that I could go to school and go to work and do a great job, but... I'm behind. Next semester, I want to take 18 credit hours, but I can't because I wouldn't ever have time to work to pay my bills. I wanted to take 15 hours this semester but I couldn't fit it in.. because of work. Basically, for 12 months to pay for rent, electricity, cable/internet and food, I would need roughly around $470 per month, or.. a little less than $$6,000 a year. It's not horrible.. but still.. it's debt.

I just hate the thought of getting out of college with debt, but I keep just thinking about my future. I want to get done with school on time, and with the way I'm moving, it looks like I'm a semester behind. I wouldn't be done with school until Fall of 2010 instead of Spring 2010. That's a full 18 credits I am behind. UGH!

The decision is just killing me. As of now, I can't get enough hours to pay my bills... so I need to find another job and fast. Everything is just piling up.. piling up.. and this semester is by far one of the hardest.
