When my little sister complains about too much homework in highschool while I´m at college

Prepare to hate yourself, especially in your strengths and marterials classes and solid mechanics classes. Shit don't get easier

High school was a breeze for me. College isn't crazy hard for me right now, but it's definitely more difficult

^I'm with thirdi. I started hating my engineering classes so much I changed when I had junior standing to another major. Statics was a breeze compared to Dynamics and solids... or at least to me

Just don't plan on coasting your way through lol

1) don't go to college is like saying work at McDonald's for life
2) you sound like it's as easy as just asking for a scholarship you get one.

1. Yep.
2. Then don't ask for a scholarship, earn it.

Whatever you say dude.

I've already done it, dude.

Whatever you say dude

Glad you recognize my authority on the subject.

You are the superior being, I have no choice but to accept everything you say.

Never said I was superior, just an authority because I graduated from college debt free.

Currently debt free since I've been working my as off, but yes you are right you have complete authority over me.

That's an impressive feat, congratulations! FWIW there's a pretty big difference between being an authority and having authority.

Regardless, none of it is as easy as you make it sound.

The work is hard. Late nights studying in high school, AP classes, a high gpa and act/sat score, clubs, volunteer work... But if students do things like that they should have no problem finding scholarships.

The main problem with scholarships is competition. You can have loads of volunteer work, work experience, high GPA, good test scores, school activity involvement, and financial need, but there will almost always be someone who did a little bit better than you. Also it can be extremely difficult to find ones you're eligible for. As a white woman that comes from a middle class family, I qualify enough for loans but my family can't pay for me. And scholarships see me as too privileged and don't need the money that much. A lot have specific requirements regarding where you went to school, race, ethnicity, disabilities, who your family is, etc. Its extremely difficult to find scholarships offered to the general public that is strictly merit based.

I found great success applying for specific scholarships offered by organizations or departments at my school because as a white man with 2 parents working in high finance, I didn't stand a chance otherwise.

I mean my school has a few specific department scholarships, all of which I have applied but didn't receive. But I also applied to multiple local scholarships, some of which were specific as I stated above, but didn't receive. Like I said, the biggest issues with relying on scholarships is competition and eligibility. I was much more eligible for scholarships as a high school senior, but its much harder the further you get into school. Maybe it's just because of the area I'm in, but those are my biggest issues with scholarships. Unfortunately I can't rely on them, but I really need them anyway.
