So I've been back in college for six months. I got a pretty sweet set up, got my school and housing paid for. I worry about what I'm going to do when the money runs out. I'm looking at scholarships and student loans. It's tough making going to school work for the long term, but I'm sure it's all going to work out.

School is hard enough as it is, and then you add to it the worry of making it long term.
If you can swing a scholarship and/or a student loan, then it would be great. If not, then you might have to find a part time job.
But, I like your positive attitude. And I'm 'sure' it's going to work out too! Goodluck!

It is fantastic that you have been given some help with your schooling, and you should make the most of all of this while it is on offer to you. I get student loans at the moment, and I am thankful that I am able to do that because there would just be no way that I could cope with paying for everything that I need to on my own. We are so lucky to be in a country that is willing to help us with our education, because it we were from a country that didn't help us out, there is no way that we would be able to educate ourselves to the level that we are at the moment.

Hi tawny 
School and college days are the best part of life. During my days we didnt have much of expenses but going by the lifestyle today, I am sure I understand what you are referring to. Well, there are always ways out and once you get to the college, you can always find some part time jobs that can provide you some good amount that you can spend when at college.
You can also try out some online stuff and may be blessed with success... who knows.
The only thing that I would love to mention here is that do anything that you feel right but just dont lose the focus - your primary objective at this stage should be studies and not the chase for money. The money and its chase will become easier once you have completed the college.
Good Luck.
