Dear FAFSA

I hate you. I wish I could understand your cruel, cold-hearted ways. How you give me the run-around for days with your hundreds of forms and ugly fill-in-the-blanks. You stare blankly back at me when I yell at you. And then, after all we've been through together, you tell me that you expect me to contribute 44% of my annual income to my education. What are you, a sub-prime mortgage!?

Bastard.

Sincerely,

Future MPA, no thanks to you.

I never got a shred of federal aid, but kids whose folks made multiple times what my parents did . . . did. Why? My parents lived within their means, while theirs racked up debt.
