I feel you. I spent 100$ out of my own pockets just for two applications last year. ;-;
I am currently attending college and have to spend at least 300$, or more, for three books... which is like 3/4 of my paycheck.

but that's very generous of that person! Hopefully, you'll get into your desired college(s).

Yeah. Not looking forward to all of the college costs ;-; and thanks!

Good luck to you in college. Also are you planning to pay out of your own pocket?
