I start college this fall, and I'm worried and scared. What can I do?

If you're worried about paying for college, also try some scholarship search engines like fastweb.com. These feelings are totally reasonable (I'm nervous for college too, and you're situation definitely makes your concerns understandable). Also, maybe call your financial aid adviser or someone in the financial office and see if there's a way for you to get more aid. They'd be more willing (hopefully, it depends on the school) to give you more money if they completely understand your situation. Also there's thing you can do with business or something that can make money that can integrate your love for music and theater. Musicians still need accountants etc. Or financial advisers. If you're a sound engineer you can still work in the theater or music industries. Just because you major in Business doesn't mean you're restricted to a cubicle, even though that is a stereotype. There are fun jobs out there that a lot of people don't know about and you'll just have to look into that and find them.
