Fear…the dreadful words…College Loans!!!

Wow, senior year has flown by and graduation is on its way. My year has been filled with laughter, smiles, tears, arguments, and fun! It all started in November, when EVERYONE I ran into asked me what I plan to do next year. I dreaded that question not because I don’t want to go to college but college comes with the words COLLEGE LOANS! If you aren’t familiar with the terms then you are a LUCKY person!

Dictionary Definition

College-an institution of higher learning, especially one providing a general or liberal arts education rather than technical or professional training.

Loans--the act of lending; a grant of the temporary use of something. (YIKES!)

I have a fear of college loans! I don’t want to be in debt for the rest of my life. That is scary! I have just encountered this fear because I now have to grow up (a little). Taking out loans scares me because college is SO expensive; I could be paying them off till I am the age of 35. Although this is a fear of mine, I think it is a good fear because hopefully I will manage my money and work hard to stay out of a huge amount of debt.
