Over in my little Tealand, things have gotten jumped straight up into the gear of madness as of late. 

Back in January I got accepted to the college of my dreams, SCAD University, and to say I am pumped would be putting it lightly. I am beyond ecstatic for this opportunity, and if all is well I could be joining the mass of mindless sleep deprived zombie students by the end of March! Just around the corner really. 

Scad is such an awesome university, and I still am having trouble comprehending that I even got into it! What I really loved about it was that it taught you how to be a person of  business. Not to just draw a pretty picture, but to market it in a way that you could make a living. Not to mention with teachers all ready known in their field a majority of their students end up with internships while still in college in their field of choice! That's freaking mind blowing for me! 

Of course, if I do manage to pull all of this off, including traveling 1000 miles to the college the scary monster called tuition falls around me. I will tell you this.. Its a big one.
I'm not one to ask money from others, I am a strong believe that things need to be earned. Honestly this is an absolutely last ditch effort on my part, FASFA hasn't awarded me anything that could even take a chunk out of my future debt. Not to mention that thus far, I haven't been able to wrangle up any scholarships aside that. 
I've mentioned on here in a few short sentences left or right, I never had the most 'normal' high school life. During my short time in it, my mother fell ill with cancer and I became her caretaker. Because of that my grades were impacted significantly, and my education went to the back burner. Unfortunately, it does greatly hinder any of my applications.

So I have made a YouCaring fundraiser.

I won't lie, I feel odd about this, but at this point I legitimately need the help. I have gotten too close to one of my aspirations to give up. 

If you feel you aren't financially stable, don't feel compelled to donate, just share it on your Facebook show it to a friend. Get it spread around.
That is just as good as any donation you could make, and it literally only takes a few clicks of a button to help. 
Anything and everything can make the difference. No matter if its a post on Facebook, or a dollar to the cause. 

Thank you guys so much for helping me through things in the past, and thank you for your help now.

And as always,
Don't touch my tea :heart:

It's not much compared to tuition, but I hope this helps. <3
